They used to use topre switches which many people swear by and combined it with a modern design. Compared to the gaming keyboards with MX blues and the ultra-cheap rubberdome boards of the time, it was a great package so they gained popularity.

Not sure how they got traction at the start because the main selling point was the weird layout and they didn't have topre switches yet.

This one doesn't have topre either. It still sounds great, but if I wanted MX switches and a trackpoint, I'd go for a Tex shinobi. Shortcut hell is a problem indeed, I want to Alt+F4 with one hand and on a 60% that's impossible to implement without something like spaceFN, which again has to be turned off for gaming.
It's mainly due to using topre switches but they also swap CAPSLOCK for CTRL by default (which used to be normal back in the day). For me, having gone through heaps of MX-based boards, I always return to topre. The typing experience is just superior IMHO. Unfortunately this new board uses MX type switches which to me is weird because it's their biggest differentiator and selling point.

Yeah this gifted kid syndrome has basically made me depressed as an adult because I always expected to become great with very little effort since I was apparently already great. Turns out I'm now stunningly average and I struggle to find any meaning any more and when I try to improve at things I feel this incredible weight of all my lost potential that makes it unbearable to continue.
Glomming onto your comment to add my gripes with the Google home speakers I now deeply regret installing in every room in my house:

1. Touching the speakers adjusts their volume. They are convex hulls with no handles, and there are no visible markers indicating where they are sensitive to this input, so moving them while in operation is dangerous: they are as likely to hit 100% volume as 0%.

2. Alternatively, volume can be adjusted verbally: "Hey Google, set volume to 10 percent." However, I ended up covering my newborn's ears and running out of a room recently when the speaker didn't understand the "percent." That's how I discovered that you can also say "set volume to N," with N being 0-10, and the speaker will multiply by ten to get a percent. This decision is baffling for a voice interface, which could have consistency and user safety by treating all inputs as percentages. As it stands, 1% = too quiet to hear, 1 = quiet, 10% = quiet, and 10 = so loud the speaker cannot hear you say "hey Google, stop."
The moment quality in art becomes commodified, what is popular will select on something other than quality. Look what happened to visual art in the earliest 20th century. Any art academy graduate could give you a beautiful painting, but nobody remembers any artists from the 20th century who simply made "beautiful paintings"
This is one thing in Germany that makes me feel like I’m living in the Matrix:

You think you’ve learned about World War II and the Nazis in school. You think the lessons are all to clear. But then you read Sebastian Haffner’s “Geschichte eines Deutschen“, or Stefan Zweig‘s „Die Welt von Gestern“. And you look around. And you recognize those very same characters. The Eichmanns. The SA henchmen. People who would probably be very happy in that regime, even though they have no idea that they would - because what they’ve learned about it is a very different story. A fairytale almost.
Did they release it? If not, then it's because it sucks, not because they care about "safety".
Unfortunately, I don't think we need Taiwan. I agree with the first part of the conclusion.

> The Taiwanese are some of the most wonderful people you’ll ever meet. As a free and open democratic society, they would deserve our support for that alone.

Part of my family is Taiwanese so I'm biased of course. But it's really a tragedy that these people may get attacked and invaded by China in the near future. What drives me crazy is people who try to argue that it's right for some historical reason. "Taiwan belongs to China" like if an entire population's faith could belong to some dictator. Conflicts are not always clear, but it's really a good vs evil fight in that case.

I wonder what will be the US stance on this.
Most plugins for WP should not be installed at all, period. Most have weird silly bugs or security issues, that are either due to handling user input improperly, or are just silly bugs, that one would think people would not build i to their code. But in WP land anything goes. And it has been that way for a long time. It feels like WP plugins are attracting lots of beginner developers, who would rather use a regex than a stored procedure to check for an SQL injection. That kind of level.

Even the usual guideline for how to write themes favors concattenation over composition, starting an element in one file and ending it in another, so that it really only can be used in one place, and cannot be reused. wtf. And most themes are blindly following this convention. It feels like almost intentionally encouraging shoddy work.

I've re-read the 213 HN comments from last year, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32037562 .

A lot of people seemed to think the author didn't like the switch to 2FA. This isn't the case, as the author linked to https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2016/3/24/open-source-trust-scaling... which says he "2FA all my logins where possible", and in this essay writes "it's a sensible thing."

The concern is that an index - any index - has a lot of power, and can tighten its rules in the future. Indeed, PyPI has tightened its rules since 2022 to require everyone use 2FA, not just the authors of "critical" ones, though staged migration was already part of the plan.

As I understand it, the author believe the index should have "no policies beyond immutability of assets, and instead we use an independent layer of the index to enforce policies." He proposes a switch to decentralized/independent vetting, to solve supply chain issues 2FA cannot address. One example at https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2022/1/10/dependency-risk-and-fundi... is the "colors" package on npm, where in early 2022 the author deliberately introduced an infinite loop into the code, thus breaking packages which did not pin their colors version. If the author doesn't care about reputation, then there is little 2FA can do.

If I wanted to break supply chain, I would use a pseudonym, develop a useful package, and then pull the trigger.

As the author points out, their Rust package has 303 unique dependencies (https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2019/7/29/dependency-scaling/) and the Sentry Javascript front-end had more than 1,000 (https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2016/3/24/open-source-trust-scaling...).

This is too many for most to vet on their own, and it increases the supply chain risk when any of thousands of independent developers with no legal or contractual liability may be willing to trade off reputation for, say, large financial gain.

I strongly suspect the indexes will tighten the rules in the future as businesses push for even more supply chain assurances. For example, my pseudonym method is harder to pull off if GitHub starts requiring users to register with their real name and a copy of their id.

Speaking now specifically about Python, the very first HN comment from last year says "Feel free to just... not publish to pypi.org. You can run your own pypi if you'd like, it's pretty trivial."

There are several comments along those lines, but I don't think the people who wrote them understand that makes the supply chain issue worse for users.

Suppose I distribute my package that way. 1) If people want their suppliers to use 2FA, how do they know I'm using 2FA to set up the alternate site? 2) pip doesn't have good isolation when using another index, that is, you can't configure pip to install package X and only package X from a third-party site, and use PyPI to resolve other package dependencies.

Instead of 1 index and N developers there are M indices and N developers, giving more ways to attack a supply chain and through a path which has had little hardening over pip's lifetime.

OTOH, the vetting system could handle that - assuming a vetting system could be made to work at all.

People had the same arguments for not invading Ukraine.
I think part of it is the switches. They use Topre capacitive switches which have a very distinct key feeling than your average mechanical switches made by Cherry (and its clones) or Alps.

RealForce (the keyboard brand from Topre) now have their own line of capacitive keyboards, but a while back HHKB was _the_ capacitive keyboard, or at least around the people I know.

Which makes it very interesting that this new model is using Cherry-type linear switches instead of Topre.
This is brillant and really cool, as usual! Thanks for the great write-up!

In 1995 a scientific sub-orbital rocket was launched from Andøya in Norway. It got a little bit out of planned course and for some reason the message informing the Russians about the launch had not reached the radar controllers which just saw a rocket heading for Russia on their screens. It was total chaos and the nuclear briefcase were brought to Jeltsin. Luckily the rocket fell in the ocean after a few minutes and nuclear war was averted.
Quite interesting that Mistral scores so abysmally on this metric while outperforming Llama 2 7B and 13B easily in all other benchmarks. I suppose they must have on average ~5% less things memorized?
Wordpress gives PHP a bad rep. PHP on its own - absolutely fine when used correctly. PHP in Wordpress however, well...it's crap. They've got the most convoluted and poorly structured PHP codebase I've had the misfortune of working with.

A well maintained, modern PHP codebase is a complete non issue, but Wordpress is unlikely to ever have that.
The watermarking is worrying. I can imagine many different vendors will start adding something like that to their products - at some point it has to interfere with the signal, no?

From the article:

> Each participating artist has partnered with us and will have a hand in helping us test and learn to shape the future of AI in music.

Let me correct that: each participating artist has been given a wad of dirty cash in return for their help in training replacements for mass music. Notice that I said "mass music" -- people will always be able to create by hand, but it's clear that the ultimate goal is to create a system whereby people pay for AI generated music (either with money or with ad views) and no longer need human-created music for commercial purposes.

> Our music AI experiments have been designed in line with YouTube’s AI principles, which aim to enable creative expression while protecting music artists and the integrity of their work.

This is hardly a protection. It only protects existing, secure artists. It does not protect new artists from being outcompeted by AI. (Music composed by humans could still be better but AI will compete simply because it is cheap and widely available.)

This article written by Google is a testament to the true nature of Google, which is the nature of being a leech and parasite. OF COURSE, at first, this tool MIGHT be interesting and provide new ways of creating music, but we have to remember that it will mainly function in the context of YouTube, which is about superficial consumption and advertising. The addictiveness and widespread usage of YouTube is becoming a societal problem, and this technology will standardize AI music into becoming mainstream.

Many people think that AI is just a tool to aid in music creation. It is for now, but what it actually does is three things:

(1) It creates a new standard where music is no longer about human expression but about creating a basic layer of entertainment to go along with advertising.

(2) It changes the minds of human beings to think more like machines.

(3) At some point, it will be so advanced that it will hardly need anyone to create it, and Google and other big tech companies can use it to be an alternative to traditional musicians, who will not be able to compete and therefore will not be able to do what they love to survive.

Remember, technology at first is an optional curiosity but successful technologies ALWAYS become entrenched in society and modify it significantly, and in this case, for the worse.

Shame on Google for this and I truly despise them.
Earning money by making music is a power law, that is, only a few people will make a lot of money while many will earn almost nothing. This is partially due to the required skills. If a system could lower the barrier to entry, then you could also make an argument that a music AI makes it a more level playing field.

Do you really think the The Chinese Empire™ cares about TSMC? Generations have now been told Taiwan is and forevermore is a part of China, to be reunited. The existence of TSMC matters little.

Once you connect a regime's domestic prestige to a project, external motivations matter little. Once not attacking Taiwan is seen as a "being weak" at home, you will have a war.
Ok you’re being rude.

First, my wife is a lawyer.

Second, I pasted that link because I thought you didn’t know what “agency” meant based on your non-sequitur response. As in “principal” and “agent”.

I never claimed that was a legal term. If you are an agent with authority, what would you call it? Power of attorney doesn’t apply here. In general, someone that acts on the behalf of another. That’s it. No one is inventing new words. That’s just how grown-ups talk.

Ergo. If the owner is dead, then someone else is the owner.
If the person in a coma, someone else can legally act on their behalf, like a spouse or family member. You know, someone with authority. Acting on behalf, like an agent. There’s those poetic words again! Same applies to an infant. Understood?

Finally, the point I was making is that someone has to report the crime and demonstrate that theft actually occurred for a successful prosecution. You are extremely unlikely to get arrested, much less prosecuted, for openly hypothesizing about whether a theoretical crime took place. Which is the very topic we were originally discussing.

I was fast and loose with the word “owner” because I thought my audience would understand the broader definition. Apparently “agent” doesn’t t work for you either, but whatever you want to call it, I hope for your sake that it’s been made more clear.

I’ve already clarified my position once, and now ad nauseum. I don’t know what else to say if you’re still confused.

Google doesn't care about safety. It's exceptionally naive to think that a company that pulls in this kind of money to ever think about safety. They only pay lip service to it to keep their legal department happy. They are leeches.

I have a 9 year old dyslexic boy with solid ADHD (impulsive). It’s been quite the journey (so far).
He is heading back to ‘normal’ school next semester with no special support and fully integrated almost like a neurotypical. Sort of.

I have the same ADHD style:

Overall lessons:
1. Sleep. Melatonin. Transformational
2. Love. Love and more love.
3. Forgiveness and understanding
4. Throwing the kitchen sink at him for finding the outlet (sport) he loved. Gave him a sense of direction.
5. Ritalin: assists with ability to concentrate and therefore learn. Used only for education.
6. Educate yourself and get diagnosed yourself if you have.
7. Be the change in yourself and mirror and explain what you know (and don’t know)
8. Full spectrum intelligence test. Know where the issues are (processing speed, etc) and also where the strengths are.

We got a semi diagnosis at 5, then year on year assessments to see what we could know.

I wish there was a better support and road map for the steps to go through as a parent. I feel very lucky to be a dad of a child with ADHD in this time though.
What if you can function socially, at work, can mostly take care of yourself and generally look the part, but on the inside you are a miserable husk of a person exhausted from the neverending struggle to appear functional and normal?

Is that person just having fun on speed in your view?
> Why aren't any other companies entering this space?

Because it would take over a decade to build a comparable chip fab and thats assuming you had unlimited cash to throw at it.

You'd be spending billions with zero revenue for a decade and no guarantees it'll be anything as close to as good as TSMC's setup. Try finding someone willing to invest in that and it becomes clear why theres not more chip fabs out there.

That's really good!

Stone Soup seems to be trying to be quite comprehensive about algorithms, and composable in a way that your library isn't, so it's perhaps not ideal for learning. But then it's pure Python, so probably not useful for live use in most production problems (assuming a fairly large number of targets). It's a bit awkward - it ends up bit really meeting either need. I think it would be good for experimenting with a new tracking algorithm though.

I think targetting your library firmly at learning puts it at an advantage for that.
Presumably only for their own and Chinese brands however as I can't see anyone letting them do fabication for major players outside of China. They've also got a huge hurdle given they cant buy the standard equipment every chip fab needs owing to it all being produced by a single company.

You don't think this will lower the barrier of entry for music creation?
The significant factor in "disruption" [Christensen] is not low-end products - incumbents typically crush them, and markets consolidate over time; many competitors become few. What's newsworthy and puzzling is when the low-end entrant does win. The key factor (IMHO from reading several of his books) is when incumbents cannot address low-end entrants, because their customers have captured them in some way (e.g. all aspects of the organization are optimized to their customers).

Thought experiment: how could this apply to human thought? i.e. what is a low-end that we couldn't address?

Disclaimer: I really like Christensen's reasoning, theories, and expression of them... but he did predict the iphone would not be disruptive. So, at best, difficult to apply!
VW's history with corporate structure and brands is a clusterfuck in general, haha, the ownership structure between Volkswagen AG, Porsche SE and Porsche AG is pretty convoluted, then you add other VW-owned brands: Audi which has Lamborghini, Ducati, and Bentley as subsidiaries, Bentley itself has been owner and subsidiary of Rolls-Royce through its history, ending up owning the brand for cars lately.

If anyone has ever seen a timeline diagram of their corporate structure I'd be very interested to see, just to get a sense of how much more of a clusterfuck it is than the tidbits I know about.

Truth is an entirely orthogonal concept to the data that they have been trained on. Sometimes LLMs might approach coherency.
That is true, but does it make sense to lower the barrier of entry if in return, the world becomes a fiefdom where Google is part of a tech feudal-lord conglomerate and you have to be subservient to their wishes?

Besides, the reason why the power law distribution here is exceptionally skewed is precisely BECAUSE of technology like the internet. If you read about the history of music, in the past before technology, all musicians made less but at least there were places for local musicians to play in a strong community such as in local pubs and such.

TECHNOLOGY created the problem of the extreme power law and now it's disguising itself as a solution. But like the devil, a company like Google does not offer anyhting for free.
Elsewhere in the comments, someone said "I want dedicated keys for arrows / function keys, I use these frequently enough that I don't want to hold a modifier".

Some programming languages type constants in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE. -- The same rationale applies: it's easy to understand why someone would prefer to avoid having to hold a modifier key for that. -- I quite like Caps Word as an improvement on CapsLock https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_caps_word

Though, I'd agree that CapsLock isn't important enough to put where it is on a traditional keyboard. (Nor does the spacebar need to be 6 keys wide..).
I just started on the same medication after seeing a psychiatrist. We are experimenting on dosage. However it's frustrating, first month on 18 mg was almost better than the 27 mg I take right now, even though 18 mg in the end did nothing anymore. How did you find your optimal dosage?

My partner reports massive improvements (no fidgetting, calmness, less impulsive) but I still feel .... the same and sometimes worse when it comes to fatigue and work, even though I sleep well.
I feel no conversation about the Taiwan situation can be complete without noting that they had an active nuclear program that was close to developing weapons before the Americans pressured them to shut it down [0].

Judging by how that gesture turned out for Ukraine, we can safely assume Taiwan won't fare better as well.

I certainly hope this will fail, but because it's part of YouTube and thus part of their main advertising goal, it probably won't.
