Oink filled a void at a perfect time in music.

I grew up in the 90's and CDs typically ran in the $15-20 range. This was when minimum wage was something like $5.15 an hour. So it would take 3-4 hours of work to buy a CD. This led to having to really pine over purchase decisions. Pre-Napster, this meant using a few things as filters: the radio, label compilations albums that featured a lot of songs by artists and were usually cheaper to buy, or pirating via IRC, which was fun at the time, but looking back was quite tedious.

Then Napster came and went. In it's wake, consumer expectations changed but nothing really worked as well as Napster. It's replacements were unreliable, were risky for installing adware/spyware, and there were lots of scare tactics by the music industry going after downloaders in court.

This was also around the time of the iPod but pre-iPhone, so you could carry around digital music but it wasn't really streamed. At this time, I had an iPod but mostly consumed music in my car through burned CDs.

Enter Oink. Oink brought you back to the time where you consume full albums instead of single songs but also solved a ton of problems with music sharing programs -- the shady software, unreliable availability of songs, inconsistent, if not totally absent tagging, shitty encoding, etc. Since there was still some work involved in downloading and burning the albums, you had to still make some choice over what to listen to, but not labor over it like a few years back when a CD meant half a days work. Oink had SO much stuff as well. I cannot recall a time when I didn't find something I wanted. Even though it was stealing, it felt like you were getting something of quality and not taking a gamble on something from a music sharing site.

I don't really recall what I did with music from Oink's shutdown in 2007 until Spotify came to the U.S. a few years later. I got my first iPhone in 2008 and buying music from the iTunes store became much more appealing with it instantly showing up on your device, so I did more of that. I remember using Rhapsody on Desktop for a while and later on the iPhone as well, a year or so before Spotify took over music.
About the only real "success" of Itanium was wiping out the competing architectures. ARM only survived because its low power consumption was perfect for mobile and embedded use. Once Acorn was gone, we didn't see a mainstream ARM-based personal computer again until the M1 Mac.
If you live near a coast or lake, see if there's a Polar Bear Club or other cold-plunge group nearby. The social aspect can be helpful in several ways.
thats the end goal for this type of tool. right now you just guide the bot into the repo and ask it to read individual files
Uh, you are aware that one leg of the nuclear triad are submarine launched ICBMs. That's about as "launched from the middle of an ocean" with no idea who launched it as you can get. That would exactly look like an ICBM launch at first.

We got jobs and pay Spotify (or someone) for music now.
I am not asking why some people might not be able to take a cold shower (which is different than just being "unhealthy"), I am asking why the studies are "fundamentally flawed" because of that. Like obviously the studies can't include those people, but does that somehow negate the results for the people that do participate? It seems like any given study would have some % of people who cannot participate.
Its because the ultimate goal with these gen AI tools is to replace not support professionals. Your idea makes sense, is eminently doable, and would be awesome. The problem is, it still requires a human with expertise. Gen AI companies want to remove the human with expertise from the equation precisely so they can "empower" (take money from) the much wider population of humans without expertise. These humans, since they lack expertise will actually need gen AI to produce anything at all. A professional could use it but could ultimately make do without it--they would not have a strong dependency on gen AI. It's essentially the same idea as addicts being lucrative prospects for drug dealers--once you establish dependency, you've got them.

Let's be frank, gen AI projects are ultimately about companies wanting make money by putting small-scale professionals out of work for good. In other words, they want to capture a significant portion of all that capital that currently flows across small companies and projects (even if small scale operations continue a large percentage of their production will require funneling money to Gen AI subscriptions instead of skilled human workers)

Alphv ransomware group files SEC complaint against victim
"(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."

What is your definition of "traditional" here - historically, both music and art were not full time jobs for most.
It was a thing people with a passion for did as a side gig, with some (but not a lot) of people eventually sustaining themselves full time with art. Or it was done by already rich people who did not need to work and could afford to be people of leisure.

That was true even of organized things like orchestras, etc.
Doing these as a full time job is a relatively recent thing, and even there, "surviving" has been limited to a remarkable few.

Even a decade ago, 30% of musicians had a second job. The 70% was not mostly "bands" but,again, permanent things like orchestras, etc.

Trying to forcefully keep jobs alive that don't need to exist is insanity, and rightfully gets pointed out as such in other contexts. This would be no different in this case.

Here, it's also totally non-obvious that if these things go back to "people pursue it as a side gig because they love it" we will be any worse off than we were in terms of quality of art/music, happiness, you name it.

Because that was the way of the past and art/music were not just fine, but most people even consider it better!
Yup, you won't see hot chicks talking about the Guangxi Massacre on TikTok, but you'll see a lot of people here taking the bait, believing that today The Conversation is about our new collective understanding of Islamic terror.
Say there is commercial interest… it’s all custom work. Having support in the mainline kernel is a fairly small piece of the equation, there aren’t active distributions that support it. At best you’d be putting a newer kernel on an ancient distribution, worse you’d be building a hand made distribution.

If they are supporting some old Linux, I think it would be best to patch that kernel if there are flaws or fixes. If there are newer features they are attempting to add, I assert that you probably want more than the kernel like the C library.. maybe a lot more pieces. it’s not easy and it’s a pain but an out of line kernel patch doesn’t seem that bad, whether or not the support is mainlined seems pretty small compared to maintaining the tooling chain and everything else. The support and “new features” is pretty limited too, usb-c isn’t coming, thunderbolt isn’t coming, no advanced power management is coming.
Technology like this is interesting from a progression standpoint because this is now the new baseline.
In the late 1500s, Cornelius Drebbel built and patented a perpetual motion machine that used the daily changes in barometric pressure to power a sort of clock. It was a very impressive achievement. We can be pedantic and say it isn’t actually a perpetual motion machine based on our definitions (which necessitate impossibility) — but for him, he made the impossible possible.

Not sure why I got downvoted. There's a false dichotomy here... I agree that there are really cool things with this technology, opening up a lot of possibilities for music creation for those that aren't well versed in music composition to get their ideas out. I think that's great. Just like how electronic music allowed us to have digital recordings to play the same song cheaply over and over again, and also allowed people to create great tracks with only knowledge of music composition and no need to learn an instrument.

That still doesn't change some drawbacks, which is what you lose when you do that. It's mostly an economics thing. There's value to having artisanal products over industrial ones because of the craftsmanship involved. The artist or craftsman's personal touch ends up as part of the piece. That used to be common but now it's just a high end product for rich people to afford. There's a downside to these kinds of technologies, even if they bring benefits.
Worth noting - PA-RISC was Hewlett Packard's own baby, which they used for their higher-end systems. And, at least in Wikipedia's account of things ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium#Inception:_1989%E2%80%... ), Itanium was born when HP approached Intel about collaborating on a new architecture, and Intel happily accepted a load of fundamental design ideas from HP.
Went viral on tiktok when it was supposed to have been memoryholed, thus forcing the Guardian to take the PR hit by revealing their lack of journalistic integrity and deleting it.

Interesting, I remember it be harder than that. But, when I had to write a basic parser during the Y2K storm, I was still a bit green in my programming skillsets.

Hmm, yea. I guess I'll have to take a look and see how they handled it. Thanks for the link!
> I assume this problem was limited to InnoDB because I did not see problems with MyRocks.

This would certainly explain why InnoDB is insanely slow at loading mysqldumps compared to MyISAM - we hit a wall in some systems and were unable to switch because of it. There's tons of questions online about how to speed this up, people were generally aware of the problem but assumed it was because InnoDB is more reliable with the data (like with foreign keys) or something about how it structures the data on disk that couldn't be changed.

Maybe I’m in a weird bubble, but I know plenty of people who love music with a passion. We travel for concerts, we go to festivals with lots of other passionate music enjoyers, heck we have our own yearly get together that’s about playing music with friends and family. The people I know who are into music are into music, and that’s most of my friends because those are the people I get along with - we make, play, and listen with passion, and there are a lot of us.
"4x perf on inserts" on a microbenchmark - there's nothing to be depressed (or, conversely, enthusiastic) about.

the microbenchmark has value (¹), but in a very specific context.

if one wanted to observe performance increase for non-trivial usage pattern, they should use at least TPC-C, where I guess changes like this make a negligible difference, or none at all.

The real answer is "it depends", but in the vast majority of cases it is better to "push down" all control flow structures: both conditional branching and loops. This will make it easier to write the code as a pipeline, and therefore more readable.

Some argue that higher-order functions (HoFs) should be "pushed up" even if they make the code more verbose (that's a standard code style in Elixir), while the alternative is more readable - it creates lots of microfunctions, which are also clutter the code.

For programming langauges with either succinct control structures (APL family), or with syntactic sugar for them, I see no problem with "pushing them up".

Of course there are exceptions, e.g. in case the code needs to be optimized for speed, memory usage, security, or formal code correction.
Pretty certain you can never stop humans from hallucinating either. Any human answer will have a probability/confidence level attached to it, it's never zero, because any statement relies on assumptions of the world encoded by the same humans.

Unless we are actually doing symbolic reasoning like a theorem proof? But even then are we ever completely certain the proof is correct? This doesn't come naturally to us.

That agrees with my own experience.

I think the big changes that caused prices to drop was online shopping and the move to East Asian manufacturing outside of Japan. There are "store-brands" like Harley Benton that target below $150 for some instruments, the Internet is awash with positive reviews.

I'm not sure if demand has changed. Guitar music is less popular but it's much easier to learn right now.

In the specific case in Xitter, I perceive that as a good change. I like seeing what was linked to, without otherwise getting engaged there.
I think the point isn't something for AI to do the hard complicated parts for us, but help us with the boring repetitive ones that pop up all the time.

Making forms UI is one of those.

The challenging part here is creating the design language or style guide) and I plementing the business logic once the form gets validated (which AI could generate code for, too).
Hi!

It is so cool you shared this repo. I am the developer behind it, hope you enjoy it and can provide some valuable feedback!
It's subversion of international order by appealing to other countries' apathy.

External countries are generally not going to militarily or diplomatically intervene in a country's internal affairs over "small" matters.

Likewise, if a conflict does reach the point of international intervention, external countries will tend to side towards compromise between disagreeing factions, just to end things.

Settler Israelis know this.

They keep settlement activity "small" enough to avoid international intervention...

... all the while shifting the status quo so that an eventual compromise is further in their favor.

Chinese activities in the South China Sea are somewhat similar, but are non-residential. There's a difference between ceding a military base in a treaty and forcibly evicting civilians from their homes.
They are not literally the government, they are a small part of the government (still troubling!). This was mainly because Ben Gvir promised security and being "tough on terror" and people bought into his propaganda and voted for him. I doubt this will be repeated in the next elections.

There have been massive (unprecedented in Israeli history) demonstrations in Israel for the last 10 months against this terrible government that formed and their attempts at destroying the country.

Even more tangential:

I joined a company in 2001 and left in 2010. A tool and library I wrote for debugging 3d geometry is still in active use.

In 2010 at a new company, I wrote another tool for visualizing a complicated tree structure. It has thousands of daily active users in the company.

My two biggest legacies are tools to help developers visualize their data. I'm pretty proud of that. Even if I don't get to maintain either piece of software, I'm glad to know they helped and continue to help.

> The winner and finalists may receive up to $1 million in investments from Snowflake

nothing needs to be unpacked, it’s explicit.

first the startups compete for free, then the most successful one “gets” to receive investments.

this should reduce the risk for investors while providing lots of friendly optics for snowflake.

any assumption by a contestant that this competition is for the benefit of contestants is… an assumption made by a contestant. this release doesn’t seem to say anything about it being a good choice for contestants, just imply it heavily.

like shark tank, but less entertaining.
Interesting project. Slightly related is Ventoy [0].

Install Ventoy onto a USB disk drive and it will create a bootable partition that can mount your Ibootable images (including ISOs) onto your baremetal from the second partition it creates. In effect you can just load up a USB drive with ISOs and install onto baremetal from them. Super handy for distro hoppers and appealing if you don't want to fart around with network boot but just want to install something on a computer. I was trying to install Windows 11 and just wondered if there was an EFI thing that could just mount my USB, and Ventoy exists and works pretty well. I actually couldn't install windows without it on one system, just didn't like something about my installer media...

HP wasn't just involved, it was their baby from the beginning. But they realized that the investment was too large and risky and Intel needed a 64-bit arch. So they partnered up.
I’m close to giving up on dogmatic junior devs. They don’t ever seem to give up their dogma, even in the face of direct damage caused by their dogma. The closest I’ve seen is a dogmatic junior dev saying they understand and will relax on the dogma, but turning around and enforcing it when they think you aren’t looking.

I’ve seen dogmatic junior devs turn into dogmatic senior devs, but I’ve never seen a dogmatic junior dev turn into a pragmatic senior dev.
Ahh yes, I forgot that HN rule where pointing out someone’s rhetoric on the acceptable opinion is verboten and creates the downvote effect.
All are physical units. In particular in special relativity time is couples with position and you myst use cuadrivectors (t, x, y, z).
That isn't pedantic. The whole point of a perpetual motion machine is that it has a certain definition which is violated by putting in external energy. For him, had he been aware of all of the facts, he would have reached the conclusion that he didn't make the impossible impossible. There are even more subtly wrong not-quite-PMs that are impressive feats of engineering but nevertheless are not PMs.
Try reading my comment in its full context instead of cherrypicking the parts you want. The NIMBYism I refer to is the explicit ability of a single complaint to kill an onshore wind farm. What you link to is the general planning issue that plagues the UK but doesn't automatically kill a planning application.

Starmer specifically talks about the planning system in his interview at the Future of Britain conference.

> It got a whole bunch of wind turbines built with far less NIMBY problems than before

That could have happened anyway, except we'd also be further ahead in at least some onshore wind, too.

> Yeah, which is the whole reason that talking point about how the cancelled onshore wind was enough to replace all the gas that the UK imported from Russia was deceptive and meaningless.

Nobody in any government or energy sector claimed this. And no, don't waste your time citing a Tory source because they've made a lot of verifiably nonsense claims on energy security in the past 18 months, so they're not a reliable source.
