1. This is an 2008 article. Per Guidelines you should put years in the Title.

2. MP3 has improved a lot over its lifetime. LAME was already used for default by year 2000. When people say MP3 was good enough, they refer to MP3 encoded with LAME. ( Rant: When we people learn the codec, encoder and the encoded results are different things? 2023 and I see this mistakes everywhere still )

3. Even iTunes AAC has seen lots improvement since 2008. Especially in the 256Kbps+ Range.

4. And when AAC is mentioned. That is AAC-LC ( Or AAC Main Profile which isn't all that different ). AAC-LC ( Low Complexity ) has been declared as Patent free by RedHat. There is no reason to use MP3 today.

5. The definition of "CD-quality" alike went from MP3 128Kbps to now AAC 256Kbps. And arguably that is true for consumer market. Even Hydrogen audio has repeated these test multiple times.

6. I still prefer the codec MPC, Musepack (https://www.musepack.net). Sorry I just had to write it out. Sadly it never gained any traction.

7. If we have to be picky about frequency range, may be CD itself isn't good enough and we could use SACD?

8. Lossless is making a come back. Storage and Bandwidth cost continues to fall. ( Arguably not true for NAND, but let's ignore that part for now )

9. It is ironic when Lossless could gain and be used mainstream, Wireless earphones are replacing traditional earphones. Meaning your music will be re-encoded before it is sent to your earphone. And No. Most Android or iPhone dont have AAC pass through. i.e Your AAC encoded files will still be re-encoded before sending it your bluetooth earphone.
>Sometimes you also want to cancel the dragging … outside of some defined area.

But that Windows <<SNAP>> when you drag something too far so the dragged object and the pointer just suddenly disappears, and snaps back to the original position without warning!

Can’t believe Microsoft still believes that is smart UI design. It utterly confuses users. You may even see them caught in a yo-yo situation or just scared to release the left mouse button while they don’t know what’s happening

Cancellation is a huge often overlooked issue - I agree with you and it’s not a simple issue. Common users don’t know that ESC can help.
Honestly, he’s a step away from claiming global warming is a hoax…
Midjourney became famous by being ahead of the competition, using the Discord interface is convenient but it doesn't make them any favour at making the service more popular.

>When you go into a Discord and you are watching hundreds of people use a product in real time

The ability to use MJ outside of the server is relatively new, so it has not had an impact on awareness of the service.

VictoriaMetrics all-in-one binary is honestly everything that I need in my home IoT things.

Prometheus-compatible interface for query, a bunch of ingest protocols, smaller memory usage than InfluxDB (v1, haven't tested v2 coz new language have less grafana support). Options to scale too
Wouldn't it be reliant on the nodes of the blockchain continuing to run it?

And if the crypto-economy is doing well enough that node-runners are economically incentivized to continue running, then is the rogue AI even that harmful?
>Why is the standard considered to be CD quality?

Because it can fully reproduce everything the human ear can hear. Higher bitrates are only useful for production or archival.
There have at least been studies that have found mRNA after 15 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9313234/) and 28 days (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apm.13294) and other that show spike proteins months after vaccination.

Thanks for the feedback!
Which ones do you think we should display without asking anything back? Fixed ones or a certain number of visualizations?

Definitely will get to improve Mobile UI as well! Thank you very much
Not everyone does, though, especially foreign tourists that don't have a data plan in the US. It's good to have free public Wi-Fi.
Do you remember what you found better about it? Speed? the UI? Definitely believe that it was better (people switched to it fast!) but I'm curious about the details.
Caring for a pet should be for the pet's life as well, and it offends my moral sensibilities to put pets in a category alongside personal property.

I think you misunderstand me though--and I'm not sure how, to be frank, I think what I was saying was pretty clear from the context:

Precisely because it's such a huge responsibility, etc., the person to whom I was replying was giving bad advice. They were (basically) suggesting having a kid even if one is unsure about whether one wants to.

edit: oh you're the poster to whom I was replying. Above, you said:

> My advice would be: if even a small part of you thinks you want children, just do it. You will grow to take on the new responsibility.

Now you're turning around and saying "oh no, it's a grave responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly, don't do it if you're not ready".
It basically means round-trip tests where the source of light and the detector are the same, and the light reflects back from a mirror. One-way would be having the source send the light to the detector directly, but the problem with testing that way comes down to synchronizing the clocks of the source and detector.

I don't know anything about this, I just found a Wikipedia page [1]

Google may be afraid that Apple would develop their own search engine, just like they developed their own maps engine and iCloud for email/photos. Apple, with their massive piles of cash, would have the resources to do that.
We also don't have technical managers controlling engineering. Beware the directors of engineering who bullshitted their way in and code like junior developers.

The thing that gets me is that "paedophile" is an easy bogey man to let us point fingers because literally everyone (no offense ace folk) has at one time been attracted to minors. And we are embedded in a Patriarchal society that puts an emphasis on youthful femininity as a commodity. So pushing the "paedo" button is the same thing that cults do: leverage shame to gain authority.
A very liberal friend of mine says that he only follows other liberal folks but is constantly being inundated with right wing conspiracy shit on Twitter in his feed or suggested tweets. It's gotten so bad that he's finally going to leave the platform (after I've been telling him to leave it for years).

Can't wait to see what happens during the election year...!
He wasn't a great Präsident, but he is a very good human being. Probably being a good person is precisely the reason he wasn't good at playing two-faced political games.
Housing is a non-sequitur. Looking at where children are born across the globe, those places have very high housing prices for the local wages, minimal government safety nets and higher poverty rates.

Main reason seems to be that young people in advanced societies simply don't want children because the alternate childless lifestyle seems very appealing in 20s and 30s, costs of raising kids are privatized while benefits are socialized (welfare programs funded by taxes on the working generation).
He’s been trying to name one of his products ‘X’ for the last 20 years? Wow. And some of his comments in this article are word for word what you would hear from raging teenagers who have nothing better to do than be angry. It’s so bizarre that people worship this guy.

Anything above 104F/40C will rapidly lead to heatstroke in humans, that’s why hot tubs are kept at 100-102F. Depending on human, you’ll last 10-20 minutes, but the flesh eating bacteria or brain eating amoeba might still get you.

Edit: hah
This is true, but I also find it hard to believe that everything in nature is intentional towards a positive evolutionary outcome.

For example: sharks being incapacitated when they’re flipped upside down, or any number of genetic diseases. It looks more like something that nature hasn’t optimized yet rather than something beneficial to the species.
possibly buggy? e.g. click on a person and you seem to get "page not found"

all titles except for the ones indicating executive or direct reports are meaningless.

It is a game, where workers strife to be granted higher and higher titles, just because their peers and the industry does.

Examine Figure 1 - The key is the 4th and 5th columns there, CD/256 and CD/320. The results show no significant ability to discriminate between them.
This is exactly what I mean about framing. The Nazis used infamously broken encryption. We have to make sure our codes can't be broken, unlike the foolish evildoers. The Germans were never able to defeat the Navajo code talkers, and then we won the war.
If there ever used to be "Senior Engineers", I wonder if it was because before there were so many fewer engineers and those who were engineers were the folks who were most interested in computers. Nowadays the field is lucrative and people do it for money, so the average dev is lower quality. Kind of like an eternal September situation.
would it change anything if they called themselves developers instead?
I was talking about the additional ingredients/chemicals in the great example when referring to EU being more restrictive, whereas EU is more permissive with traditional foods (also in my comment), which I personally find to be positive.
Your own posts are also de-buffed if you don't pay. Every post from a larger account will only have Twitter Blue in the replies for the first few dozen because those accounts are prioritized regardless of quality or engagement. And it shows.
Cremation is a mercy
Completely correct. They did a lot of testing of a variety of user interfaces before choosing Discord.

With a web interface, new users would come in a prompt “dog”, “funny dog”, “two funny dogs”, get bored and leave. But, when a bunch of new users would prompt together in a Discord channel, they would riff off of each other constantly and get creative and detailed with immediate feedback from other users. Engagement and retention were both incredibly higher.

From Day One people have been telling them that Discord was a terrible mistake. All while Discord was measurably a huge success. MJ has been working on a web interface for a long time now. But, Discord has been tough to beat in the big picture.

String theory isn't yet reality, it's just a sometimes-useful thought experiment. Something doesn't become real until we can interact with it experimentally.
Back in the 90s in Ireland, my mother would occasionally cash a cheque at the pub - if it's not crossed payee a/c only, the bearer can generally cash it themselves.

Going further back, pubs were the local shops for general dry goods, particularly in rural communities. I recall some dusty window displays in some pubs even in the 1980s, when I was a kid.
Can you link to this research? Is there any tire company using this technology? If the people cared we could either pay a premium for them, or regulate
I doubt it was .exe, probably .msi (installer) or zip file.
It could be simply a difference in sound volume. Our brains tend to believe louder is better.
You are being extremely anglo-centric.

In Northern and Central European countries, it is call datalogic or informatics. Your analogy holds only when you tell it in English.
Ah so because other countries did it in the past it is therefore just for Brazil to do it?
Cats are carnivores. Their physiology is adapted to capturing, killing and eating raw meat.

I don't think it's possible for a packer to become a mapper. We're talking about a strategy (being a packer) with some deep seated emotional roots. They have probably been at it since age 3. Rather than trying to turn them into a mapper, better to find what they are actually good at.

> I’ve conditioned myself to not want them

A lot of young people have done exactly that because a childless lifestyle seems much more appealing. Particularly for women who have to sacrifice their careers as well.

Any article that splits people into two groups and says one group cannot inherently be good at something immediately puts me off, sorry.
102 is a good temp for a hot tub. Definitely not deadly, but would not be helpful to cool down on a sweltering day neither (actually I never had the experience of sitting in a hot tub that was cooler than the air, maybe when its 130 out, 100 is refreshingly cool)

anyway my bigger concern would be brain eating amoeba

edit: jinx
Great question! Its super simple, it is ONLY the length of the hydrocarbon chain, a better quality natural rubber has really long chains (10,000+ atoms long) that last a LONG time and are VERY stretchy. Synthetic rubber (or plastic) is shorter (1,000 atoms long) and doesn't last as long.

Thats it, it is the exact same "product" just a chain that gets longer and longer and changes its physical properties as it grows.
It wouldn't surprise me, at the same time your 20-30s is the "age of discovery" it's really as you say in your 40s you tend to want to maybe settle down or cool down a bit.

Similar to how we see record many women freezing down their eggs.

Required bitrate depends on the music. With a modern version of LAME, 128kbps will be very difficult to ABX for solo vocals, but much easier in busy rock music (specifically, by listening to the decay of the cymbals).

This is why variable bit rate was developed.
It’s available where I live, but it’s hardly the norm in the overall US. Why should good food be only in some places and not others?
Besides the woo-ily worded stuff about dimensions of reality, this stands out:

>“Most doctors are taught and believe that the brain dies after about five or 10 minutes of oxygen deprivation,” Parnia said. “One of the key points that comes out of this study is that that is actually not true. Although the brain flatlines after the heart stops, and that happens within seconds, it doesn't mean that it's permanently damaged and [has] died. It's just hibernating. What we were able to show is that actually, the brain can respond and restore function again, even after an hour later, which opens up a whole window of opportunity for doctors to start new treatments.”

There's a paper from 2007 called "Brain Death - Too Flawed to Endure, Too Ingrained to Abandon" that gives a more sober overview of facts and beliefs around brain death in medicine.
Not letting you visit without signing in and putting blue checks first in everything are the two worst policies for me since Elon took over. It's amazing how bad the top replies to every post are. I guess only the dumbest people are willing to pay for Twitter.
There are also the 'sweet' pickles, murabba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murabba

Don't know what they would be called in the west. I see 'preserves' often, but they seem to be closer relatives of jams than murabbas. Unlike jams, murabbas have a savory taste (much smaller than the overall sweet taste) element to them.
"Distinguished Senior Staff Engineer"
Tell that to my previous employer. There, software engineers turned "senior" after 2 years. Then principal after 3 more. It was a scheduled activity to "upgrade". Only X people could turn senior every year because the title changed triggered a salary raise and they could only afford that for X people. I left when I got approval to hire 3 senior software engineers to my team but the salary level was only attractive to the people with zero experience, if that.

We're much rather looking at reducing the number of technologies we have and exchanging one specialized one-use database for another one doesn't sound great. And sure, TimescaleDB is a hefty extension and will require some work to understand it, but things like HA, backups and overall management of Postgres are pretty much solved for us.

And beyond that, TimescaleDB works with a few things we have already. We could migrate Zabbix to use TimescaleDB for a large performance boost. Also 1-2 teams are building reporting solutions for the product platform, and they are generating some significant timeseries data in a Postgres database as well.
Your comments about the gear size, etc. are interesting, but I don't see how they're strictly necessary. Can you explain? For example, can't an arbitrarily small gear work as long as the force contributing to the torque is sufficient? And isn't the force a product of the driving force (human leg/crank) and the load on the generator? And we can't see the load on the generator, so there may well be step-up gearing and high-flux motor inside the housing?

BTW, I respect your project at https://omattos.com/2022/06/19/gym-power.html

I have also worked with human-powered generators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huYJa2Du57g) and made a quick feasibility spreadsheet on the MyPowerbank at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X39ZgL86tmemdYv0r1Jg...

From my spreadsheet, this project looks plausible, but please feel free to add comments to it as you see fit.

My spreadsheet's calcs indicate an average power of about 25 Watts to reach the 25 minute charging time claim. Note that average humans can easily sustain 100 Watts.
I have assumed an iPhone 12 battery as that's the first that came up when I searched: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=ihpone+...

As far as the shaking chain, note also that the device base is shaking so we can not directly infer the cog idler pulley-cum-prime-mover is not also moving.

In my experience with human-powered generators, the real obstacle was getting people to relax and focus and do nothing for longer than 2 minutes.
So you are saying there are those who split people into two groups and those two do not, and the first group is inherently bad at writing articles?
Do you have trading records good enough for your tax authorities? Those might suffice.

I think that the desks that I worked with in the City (derivatives, credit, high speed trading), though a while ago now, would be interested in your experiences for trading many things. They'd probably have to interview you hard!

(I've only been on someone else's payroll for a short time, maybe 5% of my working life, so that is not a problem if you showcase it right, IMHO.)
I rather rely on the memories of 10 people than on 4K cameras which can be hacked. I don't mind relying on a 4K camera for something like tennis, to decide if a ball is out or not. But if it is just up to software if I go to prison for 10 years or not, I very much DO mind.
Most of my friends who use Hacker News also left Twitter. Although, I think its more a function of being millennial, hunkering down in their safe spaces of content moderation and political total alignment. #NorthKorea
The implication I was making is that Pascal's Wager is basically unusable as it assumes the Judo-Christian god whom Pascal was familiar with. There are many other gods that may have different belief systems so choosing one out of potentially infinite deities means that it's not a threat that is worth taking seriously.

In contrast, you cannot put the baby back inside if you don't like it, so to speak, and your earthly concerns are much more affected than some nebulous concept of hell that may not even come to pass should you choose a good god.
I think they just completed the transition which is why it came up again.
The cardinality of ℝⁿ is the same though for all finite n (same for ℕ, ℤ, or ℚ), so it doesn’t make that much of a difference. ;)
But the defaults on the PC and on the mobile are not the same. I can recall that Samsung Android phones shipped with preinstalled Samsung browser and actually a lot of people used Samsung's browser because they just wanted working internet browser.

Tbh I can't recall if at the time Google Chrome was also preinstalled or just "Google" app. But I can say that it wasn't very clear which browser is the default one in which situation. For example when you open a link inside some third party app sometimes it would hook Samsung browser and sometimes Google Chrome. Sometimes Android pop-up would ask me, use Samsung browser/Google Chrome "Just once" or "Always" and if you pick "Always", how do you change it afterwards? Easy solution would be if you prefer one browser over another just uninstall the one you don't like but if it was preinstalled or whatever, it kept coming back.

Agreed. I wasn't sure if having kids was a right decision given all other entertainment we could have had and hobbies I could have continued to pursue. My partner was absolutely sure about having kids. Looking back now, kids are the best thing to have happened to me without any doubt.
