Thanks for sharing that playlist. Happily a fair few of those come up with the little green heart - a very encouraging sign.

Reviewing the playlist highlighted that Spotify, for some reason, no longer has Smoked Glass and Chrome (Blumenkraft) available, or at least it's not available in AU / for me. The rest of the album remains available, but that track is just spectacularly good.

I bought the album off bandcamp ages ago, so it's only mildly inconvenient, but in turn highlights the annoyance of music brokers like Spotify silently dropping items from their catalogue.
Neither this or the WSJ article really say much about why?

Just this:

> Privately, some Goldman executives blame Apple. Most card programs send out cardholders’ bills on a rolling basis throughout the month. Apple cardholders get their bill at the beginning of each month. That means Goldman customer-service employees get flooded early every month, making it hard for them to keep up.

...which seems pretty silly.
No, it really shouldn't.
SDN just means reconfiguring things that used to be manually configured on-the-fly.

E.g. instead of your little server setting firewall rules locally, it tells the router what traffic to allow. That router, in turn, tells upstream about its needs, and so on. Or a server reports its load, and the routers do active load balancing. The hardware wires are still there, as always.

Re. hardware acceleration, I think the earliest form of this was moving the checksum computation [1] from the CPU to the network device, even though the networking device didn't really know about the protocol it was doing the checksum for.

In both, it's just about parallelizing workloads, the same we do with microservices at the upper levels of the stack. Natural progression of distributed systems, with fancy names attached.

Bullshit. This is comparing a real price for a real power station (after inevitable cost overruns) with a made up number by a company looking for investors for a project that has never been done before.

I looked it up and they are proposing a 2000 tonne satellite at geostationary orbit. That's already over $20bn just in launch costs even with SpaceX.
Not the employees, the community
I think you need to look for something 10th gen Intel or up.

I have an HP SFF machine with a 10th gen i3 as my Emby/Plex box and it can transcode 4k streams without breaking a sweat.

The more modern cpu models are a little rare still, but they show up from time to time.

In a lot of racing simulators you can change the position of the "virtual camera". It can be in the cockpit, on the hood, behind the car and on some games in an arbitrary position. Usually replays allows you to see from other competitors and where TV cameras would seat in real world.
I'm putting my full comment here to add to the Linux votes since I'm on Linux 80% of my time. Although, I will be given the macOS trial a shot soon as I have an iOS project in the pipeline.

Congrats on launching and sharing! The idea of an integrated all-in-one solution is intriguing to me. So intriguing that over the last 10 years I've started various projects in a similar direction. Mostly focused on integrating calendars (multiple external calendars), tasks and notes within the same app. Lesser focus on web app integration or focus modes.

Combining calendar, tasks en notes within the same app is something that I have not found a good solution for. Most apps focus on only 1 aspect and lack in the others typically leading to having to use a separate app for each aspect, and then losing time and focus by context switching between apps.

A few years ago I wrote about my experiences in this space[1].

I'm curious to see how you have tackled this problem and how the integration between tasks/calendars (and notes?) works.

also: The "Learn more" link near the bottom does not go anywhere.

I’ve watched a lot of Stanfield’s videos. Over time I came to realize that his whole image is built on being “the critic” and tempering optimism around these treatments. Except for his own personal research, which he’d like you to help fund :)

At the end of the day, “the critic” is a valuable job. Someone has to do it. Not sure it is really helping progress the industry though. I think it would be better for him to leave this to the lawyers tho.
As an employer you wouldn't - but I don't understand how any employee agrees to starting before it's complete.
Don't be scared of moderation. Just ask the question. If it gets shut down, you can ask again via copy+paste. Just edit the question slightly so it doesn't piss someone else off.
This is why the linear vote system just sucks, but no one seems brave enough to try anything else. No one seems to have the same intent values internally on what the up and down arrows actually mean.

Slashdot did it better:) I guess https://slashdot.org/faq/metamod.shtml is a decent link? Basically, instead of just upvote, you get funny/interesting/informative/etc. and instead of just downvote/flag you get offtopic/troll/offtopic/etc.
So we get hallucinations in math, too. This was inevitable.
The flu shot does not prevent one from getting the flu and spreading it to others. Like the past 3 years have shown, you're just not going to get herd immunity with these short term low efficacy shots, even when paired alongside monumental, wide scale, and completely unsustainable efforts.

Also, the risk of something needs to be put in context of the risk of what you're protecting against. If something only has a severe negative side effect 1 in a million times, then it absolutely should be considered extremely low risk. But you're risk of whatever it's protecting against only has a severe outcome 1 in 2 million times? Well not only should it also then be considered extremely low risk, but getting the treatment would be quite illogical. These risks also needs to be multiplied repeatedly for low efficacy treatments which entail annual use.

Most people I know have done exactly that.
Why do we use degrees for other temperatures by the way? Is that related to some kind of absolute vs relative metric? (Kelvin, I guess, is based on absolute zero as a reference point, doesn't it?)

Incidentally, why is the degree immune to disappearance in division unlike all other units? That is, if I divide a distance (m) by a speed (m/s) I get a duration (s). From sheer memory, degree doesn't work like that. Any clue why?
Well chatgpt reduced my usage of SO with around 90%.

For the simpler questions it is quite ok. As in write me x in language y where those are inputs

SO is left only for really hard or niche one.

"An old classic, fortunately repressed thanks to Suntrip Records.

What defines a classic goa record ?

1) Simplicity over complexity

Take that, new-schoolers. Hear how simple the dreamy and uplifting "Deep Space 5D" is. Learn how to use space and time instead of adding huge layers of ultra-complex melodies one atop each other, then drowning everything into an ocean of reverb. Learn to know how the mind reacts to certain sound and patterns - learn buddhism.

2) A universe in each track

Ten tracks, ten unique moods. From cosmic mysticism to numbing bliss, notwithstanding the mind-fucking psychotropic experiences of both "Omega Centaurus" and the incredible "Harmonic Convergence". The melodies stay in memory for a long time, and for nothing in the world would I let them flow away.

3) An ending (Ascent)

No, this has nothing to do with Brian Eno. Or does it ? Learn that a downtempo track is not a pitched-down full-on stomper: again, it has to tell a story of its own. Remember how the best Transwave tracks always were their slowest one ? Speed is a measure, not a goal. "Flow" is beautiful, oneiric and chilling to the point of being terribly addictive.

This may sound paradoxical, but classic records often define their own rules. A tip to remember. "Transdimensional" is unique although no other album could define more flawlessly what goa trance is about. Yes, they are other classics out there - but guess what ? They use their own rules as well. It's no use trying to catch their spirit these days - they are already way beyond stars, between past and timeless hyperspace."
This is where my mind goes with all of these advancements. Always and immediately to how they will contribute to making a photorealistic Holodeck via mixed reality a closer reality.
That's c++
So it’s essentially using a few compression techniques

1. Palettes aka dictionary compression
2. Storing as column arrays + run length encoding
2. Binary encoding instead of ascii

All standard techniques used in modern compression, especially columnstore databases.

Very well written and approachable by a beginner.
But the question here is not money, but power (yes, like in real life). How many watts (or milliwats, or microwatts) do you have defines how many inferences you can afford, and how complex.

This is intended for a wearable or maybe implantable device, possibly powered by a button cell, or a tiny induction coil, or maybe fermenting glucose in a fuel cell.
I have a simple flow of though, how I see it:

1. ALL information is biased: there's no way to remove that part entirely because human beings make everything news-related.

2. The motivations of the journalists determine what the news reveals or hides[0].

3. To that end, all mainstream journalism (excepting journalists directly funded by listeners) is about as accurate as an advertisement.

4. Consume with a general distrust, assume everyone else is doing the same (since most people are NOT indoctrinated into the mediafest), and go about the rest of your life.

5. If you ever start getting a bad case of anxiety or the shakes, go outside for a walk or strike up a conversation with a complete stranger.

I wrote an essay on the subject[1], but the gist of it is to learn the art of skepticism, on EVERYTHING.

> 'Someone Is Using Photos of Me to Talk to Men’

TL;DR Wikipedia has no defense against organized, bad actors. The institutional protection protocols are easily weaponized against unorganized and solo editors.

My experience wasn't so bad. I was less irritated by the harassment and doxxing than I was by Wikipedia's reaction. While that crew's behavior was an attempt to intimidate, I was not really intimidated, but I was deeply disappointed in Wikipedia.

Weird people gotta be weird, so I view them like the wind and sand, just part of the landscape. If I were to conclude that one whole class of people are bad because some people "supporting" them are bad, it'd be a bad conclusion. Every group has good and bad (and weird).

Wikipedia for their part has pseudo-legalistic protocols and policies that are byzantine, contradictory and hard to navigate, rewarding invested troublemakers and discouraging ordinary volunteers. In my case, the crew dug into my contribution history, manufactured an accusation and threw it at the wall to see if it would stick. To my naive surprise and disappointment, their transparently harassing accusation was upheld. The admin literally looked at multiple instances of harassment and supported it. Was the admin colluding with them? Does not matter. Not a community I want to participate in either way.

My conclusion from that experience is that, scratch the surface, and it's clear that Wikipedia as an institution has no effective defense against bad actors when - charitably - the thin line against are just solo, ordinarily volunteers like myself and a comparatively tiny full time staff.

In a world of professional troll farms, all Wikipedia articles that have real-world political meaning, on the Holocaust for example, will inevitably have effective, bad acting editors pushing false ideological agendas, as we see here in the paper. They can and do weaponize the current policies cynically to push out opposing editors.

It is an institutional problem and I don't see how it can be easily fixed.
I ask it to quote the section and it helps to find. But if you prefer reading the transcript that’s fine too. It’s not a commandment. It’s my sharing what works for me.
Degrees aren't a 'unit' indeed because the zero point isn't a real zero. Hence you don't get correct scaling.

The author got almost everything correct except some minor parts. Using his charger as an example, it can be broken down as:
DELL 00 AC090 195 046 CN09T2157161543835EAL 03 .

046 is the output current 4.6A instead of his partitioned as 46(there are power supplies output more than 10 amps).

The 22 bytes is the Dell PPID, which should be also present on the charger's label or the box:
CN: Manufactured in China, some of them are TH which means made in Thailand.
09T215: Dell Part Number.
71615: Manufacturing factory code.
438: 2004 or 2014, March, 8th (Dell use YMD 3 bytes thus it is a lossy conversion always).
35EAL: This should be the serial number.

The last part 03 is a CRC16 (x16 + x15 + x2 + 1) checksum.
No. I am saying I don't know what it means to ask people about something in a survey that isn't a topic of discussion, i.e., asking about things that people don't care about.

There will be an opinion but that doesn't mean anyone cares about it or there is discussion about it.
> For finding answers, Stack Overflow may be useful, but for posting questions, it is not.

That is mostly as it should be. The primary original intent of StackOverflow is to curate a good Q&A, not to provide an interactive support/mentoring service. Questions are (supposed to be) evaluated by what they add to the repository of questions and answers.

That being said - there has certainly been a culture of harshness in relating to newbie question askers on large parts of the SO.
100 people is about one train carriage. That is not a lot of bang for the buck.
Should we tolerate a culture of accidents and face preserving around nukes, grey goo (which this falls under?) there are things you only get to fail once..
> While no chatbot is 100 percent reliable, code has the unique ability to be instantly verified by just testing it in your IDE, which makes it an ideal use case for chatbots.

Oh, this is so wrong. Code is not instantly verified by any IDE except for things like syntax errors and compiler warnings. SO critique comments under each answer are so more valuable in that sense, it's not even funny. Every time I give feedback on ChatGPT's proposed answers it tends to go into incredible rabbit holes and endless recursion, reminiscent of WOPR playing tic tac toe.
Ups for posting bandcamp links, get the artists some
Of course, but the question was getting at how long before the fed blinks.
> It seems unlikely that any significant number of developers quit using SO in favor of blindly trusting ChatGPT.

I did to a large extent. If verification is easy(which in most of cases it is), I first ask the question to GPT 4 before searching SO. And tbh I have found SO top answer to be more probability of being wrong than GPT 4. In most of the code, if the code doesn't look wrong and could pass the testcases, which I use GPT 4 to generate and verify manually, it is likely fine.

Also there is a huge difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 so if you have only tried GPT-3.5, you experience will differ wildly.

I learned this relatively late in my life, but it was so an insight. From one hand it is just obvious facts, but from the other hand they are nicely categorized and so feels like you have learned something completely new.

Qualcomm is hitting it out of the park.
I appreciate the edit, which was definitely an improvement. But "If you're not used to reading academic papers then of course it would confuse you" is still a personal swipe. At least that's how it lands with me (and probably at least some others as well).
I've been listening to Infected Mushroom daily for about 15+ years, mostly on repeat and I love it (obviously). My problem is that I just can't find similar music. People will say: "Oh I like psy too" and then recommend various artists of which the music sounds very repetitive to me (it's not just 5 minutes of dunalun)

One of the things I feel sets them apart (at least in for example in their best works) is that they're very complex tracks that feel like you're going on a journey where they start with a theme and then revisit it later in the track.

I was excited to see this site cause I'd maybe finally understand what subgenre I need to search in specifically but they weren't mentioned even once which is strange since they're the most successful psy artist of all time.

So what sub genre do they fit into and what else can I listen to?
That's not just a beautiful high-level description, it's even therapeutic: the next time my HDD is thrashing I'll sit patiently and think that the Page King is too busy ruling his kingdom to grant my humble request right now.
Tracing vs. Partial Evaluation
My usual flow went from “do two or three searches with slightly modified wording, land on SO or the official docs of whatever I’m struggling with” to just “take a few minutes to explain the issue to ChatGPT, get actionable and mostly correct advice”.

For me, ChatGPT has unlocked an entire class of questions and investigations that would be almost impossible to handle with just search.

there is somebody who served in IDF and writes articles about it, been invited to radio as military analyst, etc.

a few days ago he wrote that IDF doesn't like to learn from somebodies else mistakes. It prefers to have a bloodboth (implied it's own blood) in order to reach some conclusions.

but in general it looks like it was mix of assumption that hamas won't try to do anything and that they are a bunch of fellah that cosplay army for purpose of raising money. not sure if it's incompetence or arrogance.
Consider the word “aftermath”. Or the sentence: “The companies failed after the CEO was convicted of fraud.”
I believe you that you've been posting out of curiosity, but your comments do not land this way with the reader at all. They seem provocative, inflammatory, and hostile. I hear you that you don't intend them that way, but intent isn't the active ingredient here. The active ingredient is effects, and comments like what you've been posting are guaranteed to have bad effects on HN.

Yes, the quote you're citing from my profile is about conflict, but it's about tolerating conflict, not adding to it. Those are opposites. It's about learning to build capacity in yourself to absorb provocations without inflicting them on others. In this way one learns to act in a way that serves reconciliation.

It's a profound insight (which is why I quote it in my profile!), a difficult challenge, and maybe even the most-worth-doing thing in the world. But it has nothing to do with venting conflictual emotions—as I say, it's a call to the opposite. If you want to understand this better, I think the key phrase in the quote is "unsatisfied need".
I really don't know of anyone using crypto other than for investing and get rich quick scheme. Crypto was overvalued as investors mostly have vested interest in coins. And funding startups is the cheapest way to inflate the coin value. And AI is solving real problems for me.
Not really where OP was headed, but...

I would say RISC-V is still unmature in some areas. ARM is far more than ISA, for example the interrupt controller in a modern ARM SoC is more complex than a RISC-V core. Can anyone provide a viable RISC-V alternative with proper Linux support soon?

Another issue is performance. We simply don't know how RISC-V performs compared to latest ARMs.

I used to relay on SO, still do sometimes but most problems seem dated. And with quality of Google search declining, getting to the core of a problem takes too long.

I used to relay on GitHub issues but github.com way too slow and quality of search is abysmal.

So more and more when in doubts I just read source code. Seems fastest.

This is the 28th LeetCode extension on the VSCode marketplace. Why?

* Because most others are forks of vscode-leetcode which hasn't been updated in over a year.

* Because I was wanted to test solutions locally. The feedback loop is orders of magnitude faster.

* Because typescript is new to me and this turned out to be a fun project.
