I would argue spotify is more consequential than a new tool generate music then. Spotify et al commodify the access to very obscure and niche music so people are now much more able to access or express themselves with whatever they want.

Maybe punk music was partly a consequence of mass media pop and rock music for these reasons too.

It looks interesting. It's different. It's clearly able to find patterns linking what was happening to what will happen in some ways better than our current physics-based modelling, which is really neat. That's because it has been trained on what the real world actually does, rather than on what our physics models (which are incomplete) say it should do. I think there's definitely a place for this system in our forecasting, and I think it'll sit alongside the current physics-based systems. Forecasters regularly look at what multiple different models say, to get a feel for the level of uncertainty, and they'll temper that with experience about what sort of circumstances certain models are better than others in, so this is another one to add to the list. It appears that this model is better at predicting certain extreme events, so it is likely that a forecaster will pay special attention to it for that in particular.

The system does have some problems. As mentioned in the article, it is a black box, so we can't look at what it has worked out and see why it differs from our physics models. It doesn't build an internal physical model of the atmosphere, so it may not be able to forecast as far into the future as a physics based model. It also seems limited in scope - it makes one particular type of forecast quite well, but not others such as local forecasts (limited area higher resolution).

What might be very interesting is to see if this system can be integrated into a physics-model-based forecasting system. At the moment, the local models get extra data from the global models, which helps them know what weather is going to blow in through the boundaries of the local model. If this system can improve the global model, then that might be able to help the local models, even if the system isn't good at doing local forecasts itself.

Weather forecasting has for a long time been a mixture of methods, usually depending on the range of the forecast. If you want to know if it's going to rain in the next five minutes, looking out the window is more accurate than going to the forecast. Within the next few hours, a very simple model that just looks at the weather radar and the wind direction to predict where the rain will fall is more accurate than a physics model (but less accurate for the next five minutes than looking out the window) - that's called "nowcasting". So it may be that this new system can slot in somewhere in-between nowcasting and physics-based forecasting.

I think it'll be a very interesting development over the next few years. I think it's particularly interesting that the system uses so little compute time, which implies to me that maybe it could be made even better with more resources dedicated to it. I'm not in this field of study any more, but I'll be watching the news.
It's about the people who care, not the content of the code.

From this perspective, SPARC is almost equally exotic as Itanium, and provides sufficient architectural diversity in the unlikely case that it is needed in the future.

Alibaba is listing a single 50mm round x 50mm thick crystal plus electronics at 3K USD each (less than 10) which seems steep to me given years back we used 42 litre crystal packs (with CSIRO grown crystals and in house PhD electronics engineers, etc - so YMMV).

Now your problem is sampling the output levels several thousand times a second, binning the counts, and having a calibration source and compensating for tempreture drift.

You can buy a box that'll do that for you or you can <cough> DIY that with reference to radiometric survey field guides (there's one from AGSO - probably Bob Minty has his name on it).

This annoys me to no end. I'm sure there are more curated playlists on Spotify out there, but having it always shoveling music at me based on whoever is paying them the most to push it is exhausting. And as others have pointed out, the app experience has seemingly deteriorated over time to the point where my Offline music is difficult and frustrating to get to play... when offline!

I'm slowly returning to curating my own music files and integrating them into my homelab via Jellyfin and Fintunes (can be found on F-Droid). I currently keep Spotify around for its podcast archive but those days are likely numbered as well. I'll end up supporting them forever though, since weaning my family members off of its convenience is unlikely to happen.

Edit to suggest "Cloudspeakers Weekly Chart" as my recommendation for a curated Spotify playlist with a wide variety of new music with updates on Saturdays. Occasionally includes pop hits, but I've otherwise found lots of new artists in there. Found it through a recommendation on here, definitely not through Spotify itself.
Innovation is a gamble. If we knew that a Starship design would definitely work (i.e can it reach orbit? can it come back down? can all of the complexity be managed well enough to make it economically feasible?) then someone would have done it already. The tantalising possibility that it might not work, that Starship might just be a dead end, is what makes the whole thing worth trying.

Apologies, I missed the "in", but my comment still applies to the sentence right after and the overall sentiment.

The protests were against the government as a whole and many of their actions including their messianic ambitions which include settlements (was a main point of discussion, though sometimes overshadowed by their attempt to weaken the legal institutions).

I really don't want to get into politics on HN, but there is no genocide nor apartheid, this is just Hammas propaganda. Israel has the means to kill Palestinians and it doesn't. There are Muslims and Arabs in the Israeli legislative body, including ones that say that Israel shouldn't exist. How is this apartheid?
Anyhow, even with the above, there were in fact a lot of pro Palestinian and anti settlement demonstrations during these demonstrations. How do I know? I've been to these demonstrations and saw the signs and Palestinian flags.

I think the bigger concern should be around things like backing scores, soundtracks, and other instrumental music. Things that you might have paid a composer to do, or a local orchestra to perform, can be done by AI and a synth.

This has similar energy to the writer’s strike - save money by removing the first layer of human effort. For some things (like the backing music in a commercial) this is sufficient, and for others you can have AI generate the base and then have a human “punch it up” with their vocals or by performing it on live instruments.

I don’t think we risk losing music production in general, but I do think there’s a legitimate concern that many many smaller, less publicly visible music jobs will be lost.

I don't think there is a unique reason for this but the availability of space is definitely a factor.

Sure, this describes the ideological core of Islamist groups like Al Qaeda. But this also ignores the power dynamics they exist and flourish in.

The problem with "freedom fighters" is that they can be both: they can be fighting for freedom while also fighting for the right to subjugate others. The latter is often accepted if the desire for the former is strong enough. Dropping bombs on people lowers the threshold for this radicalization substantially.

And if you want to be particularly uncharitable you could argue that as long as the US is not actively pivoting to isolationism (and especially so during the "world police" era until the late '00s) the US's objective was to maintain a world order with itself at the top of the hierarchy. "Liberating" other countries was historically more about making their economies accessible to US interests (and pre-collapse also shutting out the Soviet Union).

I'd take US corporate privatization over the caliphate any day but that doesn't mean the former represents freedom in a way I agree with, just that it is a closer match or more compatible.

...I'm going to have to try that. You can even use your mouse with the HMD? I didn't expect that.

Edit: Okay, I've tried it.

- You can open some small portion of your desktop apps in WMR, but nine times out of ten they are just going to ignore WMR, and open on the actual desktop instead, giving you no feedback whatsoever.

- The apps that you can load often don't work properly, for example the File Explorer is a completely different version that doesn't allow you to actually view decently sized thumbnails of anything, nor open them in any sort of photo viewer.

- Once something is on the desktop, it's impossible to get it into WMR. You can only use it through the desktop view. So, apps that can't open into the WMR environment (i.e. Discord) will be impossible to view or interact with from WMR.

- WMR has this delusion that all windows have to be perfectly vertical, so it's impossible to use the headset while laying down, because a mouse cursor doesn't have enough degrees of freedom to communicate that a window should be tilted. (But even using the controllers has this issue.)

But hey, at least it seems not to have that window capturing problem. If you can bear the fact that nothing actually opens, and nothing that does open even works.

This is a -terrible- solution.
If anybody blamed me for not being fully transparent about such things, I would tell them "welcome to earth." I remember the project manager at a past company I worked for said "In here, it's all about the end user. Our lives don't matter." He was right. The markets don't give a crap about you or your life in the same way it doesn't give a crap about the life of your competitors which you put out of business.

Also, omission of facts is not lying. There is no obligation for you to keep them informed about everything that's happening in the business. They can read their employment contract.

Some of the points mentioned are sensible, but others are horrible (shift joins to the application) or simply nonsensical, like this:

> If suboptimal methods (Nested Loop, Hash Join, Merge Join, etc.) are chosen for joins, this can lead to unnecessarily high resource consumption.

Pray tell, what join strategies are left to use? Also, none of those are suboptimal, given the right schema and settings. Nested loop is fine, provided one side of the join is small.

What isn’t mentioned (perhaps in a future post it will be) is how table and column statistics can affect performance. That’s how you get nested loops when a merge join would actually be more performant.
The illustrations are gorgeous and thought provoking. The text wildly overstates its own importance and boils down to "simple chaotic systems are cool (and everywhere (and occasionally isomorphic))".

> The conspiracy theorists actually make very good points.

Like what? Someone else mentioned there's a difference between "conspiracy theory" and "fringe theory". A fringe theory is one that is outside the mainstream (sometimes radically so) but need not involve a conspiracy; a "conspiracy theory" requires the addendum that "they" are suppressing the truth, "they" are out to get you, and this nebulous "they" is often large enough to be all-encompassing ("all scientists", "the world's governments", etc).

Conspiracy theories may still be right ("the US government was hiding the truth about the Vietnam war") but often are simply psychotically wrong. Or maliciously wrong, since there is an industry for conspiracy theories, where it's more important to get your followers than to actually reach any sort of truth. That is, they are often knowingly a scam (like that thing about "alien corpses" that was recently in the news about the Mexican congress).

There's a flaw with their non-scientific, non-methodical approach, too. We can reach the "truth" by randomly asserting things, but generally that's not the best way to go about it.

They could not drop core functionality from X11; somewhere, there is a client that expects it and dropping it would break it.

That's exactly the reason why everything is an extension is Wayland: so the client is forced to enumerate, what features are available and adjust its behavior when something is not. It is exactly this, that allows Wayland to drop features, once they became obsolete. It is the lesson from not being able to drop core X11 primitives.
I have practiced this advice in line-of-business software to great effect. Popular ORM libraries operate on individual records, but that is quite slow when software needs to import a large number of objects. Restructuring the code to operate on batches—push fors down—results in significantly fewer database queries and network round-trips. The batched routines can resolve lookups of foreign keys in batches, for example, or insert multiple records at once.

Granted, that is more difficult to maintain. I only batched the import routines. The rest still uses the more maintainable ORM.
