I find a lot of their gear is very tilted toward not being “committed”. I have an OP-1, the POM-16, and POM-400. I’d love to get a Field and will at some point.

That said, all of these are very much ephemeral to me. I can and do load up different songs on the OP-1, but by and large it’s very much the kind of workflow where you make something and tweak it and, if you liked what you had three iterations back…too bad. And that’s ok.

I recently added a Deluge to my setup and it’s the real glue to the setup (along with a BlueBox). The Deluge can control the OP and the 400, so songwriting all happens in one place and the synths shine in their own unique ways. I can also still use the OP and the 400 to play around, experiment, and make cool stuff that will just go into the ether or maybe a line-in on the Deluge.
Sorry, but I suggest you educate yourself on the correct timeline of events. Also, kindly read Nixon's declassified statements and the 1971 tapes. The kind of racist bigotry he regularly espoused would break several HN guidelines - so I cannot post his statements here - please look them up online. He had an unnerving, extremely rabid, irrational hate-on for Indian people.
Ask HN: Has your YouTube usage decreased?
With YouTube blocking adblockers, I found myself using YT a lot less. Every time I click on a video, it gets blocked. Then I realize I didn't really care about watching the video. It felt like I caught myself before lighting the cigarette. I welcome the change and it has helped free up my mental space for other stuff.
Interesting. But wouldn't this mean some clients would need to wait a long time for their download to start? (I'm imagining a multi-gigabyte game update - but maybe you meant a continuous stream of in-game positional updates of players.) They basically idle until the next "train" shows up at their station, and then they hop on, right? Also, if they have a network hiccup, they can't resume their download until one of the trains reaches the point where their download failed.

(That is, if you get my weird train analogy, and if I'm understanding your idea correctly.)
It had some talent behind the writing, Ursula K. Le Guin, Harlan Ellison. For the first few episodes it seemed legit and to be going somewhere, but lost its way at some point. Production values were always quite low, but not that much different from Dr. Who from the same period.

I rate it as worthwhile from a sci fi archeology perspective, but not good in any traditional sense.

Looks like all the calculators do that as well. What's the right way?
How would consciousness present an evolutionary advantage? Wouldn’t a non-conscious agent with the same behaviour be just as fit?

So it seems to me that consciousness is more likely an emergent property of certain kinds of computation.

I'm not objecting to your article, but to this language and its (you called it!) "useless Ruby sugars". People sometimes use humor to mask suppressed pain, I've noticed.

A smart individual can adapt to any environment and its quirks and thrive. But some of their capacity always goes towards serving the "quirks adaptations". It's kind of like GPT. It's a smart bot, and if you ask it to answer a math puzzle by writing backwards in Romanian haikus - it will. But the effort to make haikus in backwards Romanian make its math puzzle answer that much more likely to be wrong.

I have no shadow of a doubt that people who are used to Ruby know every shade of gray in how to forward arguments through byzantine syntax. Much like PHP programmers have zero issues with every function in stdlib randomly switching needle/haystack parameter order, or remembering which identifiers are case sensitive and which aren't, and the mix of conditions where an identifier needs a $ in front or doesn't need it. Or which one of 10 different stdlib APIs doing kind of the same, but in different state of deprecation and introduction they should use. Or the fact PHP has a type system, but not for the most common data type (array), and there are two modes of validating parameters (strict and non-strict) which can be switched on and off per file and bomb on you unexpectedly when combining both, despite your code is logically correct in isolation. It's trivial stuff to them. They can juggle all this and more. But someone coming from outside would take one look and say "how about no". Because PHP for all its advancements is not a good language.

And Ruby is also not a good language. In fact, it's clearly getting worse over time.
> If you’re trying to do impossible things, this effect should chill you to your bones. It means you could be intellectually stuck right at this very moment, with the evidence right in front of your face and you just can’t see it.

It has always chilled me to my bones. Whenever I tried to do a slightly non trivial things, I am afraid I miss the super obvious easy solution and get stuck for years before getting it. And it already happened several times too! Really, the only solution I can come up with is "experience"... and a lot of asking from different perspective.

I find it surprising the Touhou series didn't get a mention in the article at all. Its definitely one of the biggest PC98 titles, a huge success spawned from the doujin spirit. ZUN (the sole creator, developer, writer, artist, composer, etc.) is still making and releasing Touhou games to this day.
Distroless also has variants that bundle runtimes. E.g. `gcr.io/distroless/python3-debian11` is a variant with Python packages.

This makes it convenient to build&package some Python libraries that require a build step. The process looks like this:

1. Use `debian11` as build env, install `libpython3-dev`
2. Pip install the required packages into a prefix
3. Use `python3-debian11` as the final base image, copy installed file from build env.

Obviously there are other ways to achieve the same goal, but distroless being Debian based makes it easy to rule out any compatibility issues, if you also use Debian as your build env.

For a concrete example here's how I package beancount + fava: https://github.com/yegle/fava-docker

“Even with io_uring though, afaik there’s inevitably a memcpy to create the sk_buf to hand off to the network driver no? I’m more fuzzy on how that stuff works but I don’t think the sk_buf is implemented as a list of iovecs.”

Having worked with sk_bufs a bit I hope a copy isn’t needed for a network send. All the tooling I worked with around those was zero copy.
It’s confusing to even talk about Blue Origin and SpaceX at the same time.

New Glenn is so silly that no one else wanted to make one with so little capability and so much cost. It’s a toy, basically.

> It's all a balance, how much time and money you waste engineering the perfect `FROM scratch` container versus getting actual work done using a "fat" image that's good enough

I’ve toyed with buildpacks and when the builder images don’t suck, and the project isn’t doing weird shit with modules, it seems to work with little effort.
This one time I got told off for reading Slashdot at work. The next day our tech lead couldn't figure out why the log files didn't contain anything recent after our control program crashed (which tripped a watchdog timer and hard-reset the controller). I got to explain how I learned from a Slashdot post that ext4 caches writes in RAM and can lose data if power is removed unexpectedly. That was a good day.
The point is that people start from distro images not because it's easy. Rather, it's because there's no other way with Docker. It doesn't have to be this way with better tools. If you use a tool that has clear view of the dependencies of your software to build your image, "distroless" images would be the default. The pain of multi stage images is a Docker-induced problem, not a fundamental issue with packaging in general.
Wow. I'm the 74 year old living in the woods alone (smart move, eh?) and family ask me for advice. I am so grateful for my good health.

Problems (sound familiar?)

If a watch could remember every move I make and not divulge it to Apple or anyone else, that would help me find things, something I spend time every day doing. I just found three (formerly) mismatched gloves and a camera battery I thought I lost outdoors. It was in the film camera bag.

I (obviously) cook, but stores sell too much and too big.

I don't clean up and rearrange, not from being a packrat but because nobody visits, so see if I am motivated.

All that said, I like the watch idea and some regular cleaning, to lighten chores, and some meals sent over. A masseur/masseuse who is careful not to aggravate the damage? I gather that training comes with such warnings about medical conditions.

A stairwell elevator? I am one story but even the 3' outdoor stairs are a nuisance with the shopping.

Is there some creative outlet for the collecting? I try to collect based on anticipated future utility, but after 8 years alone, I have a good idea what won't ever be needed or used. I'd teach woodworking or electronics or fly fishing if there were any people around.

Are there friendly neighbors? People are so far apart here that we rarely see each other, and I really think that people move out here to avoid other people. A sense of community is important to seniors. Any senior support groups not filled with "get off my lawn" people?

I like to provide tech help. It was a big part of my career, but best done in person rather than remotely, which is often a fright. Is someone trustworthy nearby?

Most people say that they want to learn, but I found first of all, they forget anyway (it often is detective work ) and I could just solve it 10x faster by educated guesswork. People DO hit the wrong keys accidentally. I do it myself.

Good luck. You're a thoughtful child.

Then why continue to quibble over it?
Well, we can imagine all sorts of things which have nothing to do with how things actually are. It gets us into problems all the time. The trouble with your imagination is that you are imagining being the crab while remaining yourself, as yourself. But this is nonsense. If you were a crab, you wouldn't be you as your identity is to be human, with all the typical human powers and capacities. But when you merely imagine being a crab, you essentially maintain your human identity while changing some minor features here and there. You are effectively anthropomorphizing.

We don't live in some weird Cartesian universe where minds can be attached to any old living thing (though, strictly speaking, Descartes only recognized that human beings have minds).

Considering how poorly it seems to support cuda as a backend [0], I wouldn't hold my breath about non intel vendor support (amd cpu or gpu). If you want to try anyway, here's the benchmark suite [1] and I couldn't find sample results available.

As for less common gpus, there really is no good support in any library. If you ever want to go down a fun rabbit hole, try to use the gpu in a raspberry pi for something. You'll eventually find one guy who reverse engineered the drivers to make a compiler but that's it. That's also the story for most uncommon chips with gpus (amlogic, broadcom, etc) where the real vendor gives you a driver blob for linux and no documentation. On the other hand rockchip has some good things available [2].

That's the expected case when you have tons of cash and market dominance.

Now think of how much of a market there is for a vehicle that only pilots can use.

Add to that a dabble of the safety issues and FAA requirements of turning 75% of the cityscape into potential landing zones.

That's why.
I've been playing around in test mode and I noticed that sometimes the first note or two don't play properly when I click 'play the tune' for the first time. Frustrating in hard mode with limited plays!
For real. I guess Apple decided they want a long refresh cycle for these. Perhaps they don’t want to upset their wealthiest customers, who drop $550 on headphones.

It’s also possible they’re going to release an updated version after the Apple Vision Pro comes out next year.
When Bandcamp was sold a few weeks back I built this to download my somewhat extensive music library without having to manually download and unzip hundreds of ZIP files:

https://github.com/meeb/bandcampsync

May be useful to anyone else in this thread who wants to do the same.
It works in ZFS, XFS, and even ext4 with data=ordered. It worked well enough in ext3 as well, that I didn't see issues with it despite crashing the kennel a lot.

> File data however is under no such restriction -- and in fact it cannot be because the file may be memory-mapped and modified without any syscall interactions. There is no system call sequence point to gate reads and writes.

Note a complete lack of mmap() in the list of operations above; you are trying to trust what I am asking for into something that is impossible, when what I'm asking for is definitely possible.

[Edit]

I'm also well aware of how rename works; the ask is that the link is not committed before the data. This is possible to do at the expense of some performance, but possibly less performance then using existing commit primitives (e.g. fsync or fdatasync)
My mortgage company seems to use the same formula.
Usually, if you buy a vinyl, the artist will include a download link for digital files of your choice - I like buying music this way because the vinyl helps the artist, and in turn the artist usually will give you lossless compressed files direct from mastering.
This is just speculation, but I wonder if the naming behind both Q related things is why they became so popular.

I could not imagine the same amount of searches and guesswork had they called it "P*" instead.

It seems like Q inherently has some mystery to it. Maybe in that is the least commonly used letter and it rarely is used separately from "Qu"
Opnsense on a cheap fanless PC. I use a QOTOM box I bought of Alibay, which has a core i3 and 4 ethernet ports, but any mini-PC is good. Doesn't even need to be a mini-pc, but why use full desktop power for something that can be small and lightweight.

It's run for years happily and comes with all the usual open source goodies out of the box. Good choices and GUIs for just about everything you'd want, all the way up to being able to run multiple of them for HA if really want to.

The biggest impetus for me was the ability to have two cable connections (Frontier fiber and Spectrum cable) and setup failover and QoS across them. That's pretty hard on "normal" router hardware.

Works well with Unifi APs too.

If I redo it I'll probably go and get a newer box with mutliple 2.5G connections. Frontier offer 2Gb and 5Gb fiber here now, so would be nice to be able to get closer to filling that, but that's just the geek in me. Family never complain with everything as is over standard gigabit ethernet and WiFi.
Most of the money was spent on production. The embezzled money is a small part of the story.

Not only is this a technical marvel, but it has potential construction physics implications.

In simple terms, currently we expend energy to fragment rock, and then we expend additional energy (as concrete) to glue it back together. We do all this to re-arrange rocks into a shape (and strength) we want, and most importantly to do it cheap.

Suddenly, an alternative just got a lot cheaper.

Clearly this isn't fully baked yet (and it's hardly a drop-in replacement for reinforced/pretensioned/cantilevered/etc) but for things like heavy infrastructure and civil engineering this might offer a way to achieve fundamental thermodynamic improvements.

Excited to see where this technology goes.
Apply this patch, it appears to be the real fix.

I liked the LotR adaptations, though there were a few things I was pretty disappointed with.

But when it came to the Hobbit films it was a different story entirely, I saw the first and didn't love it. I saw the second and actively disliked it, so I figured I'd save myself the pain and haven't seen the third and I have no intention of watching it.

It's a shame that it was badly rushed, and split (needlessly) into three parts. But despite the close association it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the LotR films, which I rewatch every few years.
I ended up replacing my YouTube time with more Hacker News, so I'm really hoping dang decides he wants a Ferrari and starts to put some ads on HN.
A closer library is Infer.NET: https://dotnet.github.io/infer.

Just following up for the readers of the thread
no, i have YT premium via a family plan i share with 5 friends. so < $4 a month per person
I also have premium. I went the route of Youtube music + premium a while back instead of doing Spotify. I might be missing out, but been working for me. I probably use Youtube more than any other streaming service.

The oldest writing is numbers... for accounting. I'm pretty sure Pythagoras' theorem was for property boundaries.
There is virtually zero chance that this is what Q* is. Loosely connecting the fact that both are named with a letter and an asterisk is the only basis there is for thinking this.
I subscribed to premium a few months ago. I personally don't think YouTube has negative impact on my mental. Twitter and IG definitely did and I deleted my accounts there.
Here's my idea for an indie music service. No idea if the numbers would work out viable but I'm sure with a bit of tweaking they could.

The customer pays £11/month. The service keeps £1 for operating costs. The customer then gets 1,000 credits. Every time a customer streams a song, the artist gets 1p. If the customer listens to the song 100 times, the customer now owns the song and is free to download the song on to their devices. The customer doesn't spend any more credits any time they listen to that song and the artist doesn't get any more money from that customer for any further streams of that song. Alternatively the customer can purchase a song at any time for 100 credits - x, with x being however many times they've streamed it.

If the customer burns through their 1000 credit limit they're free to purchase another 1000 credits by topping up another £10. Unused credits get passed on to the next month. Prices of credits are increased in line with inflation every year to ensure the work of the artist and the music service isn't being devalued. 1000 credits should work out at 115 minutes a day of music listening, if we're assuming the average song length is 3 mins 30 seconds.

Really surprised something like this hasn't been implemented already. Seems like the sweet spot for both consumer convenience and artist renumeration. In my opinion Bandcamp was/is ok but has always been hamstrung in growing to its full potential by trying to shoehorn the old EP/LP model into the web rather than finding a way to make streaming better.
Thanks.

Generally you're right, but also

a) You may not have skilled labor easily available for a niche like constructing a dry stone wall out of giant rocks, and

b) sometimes employing that labor via local firms can result in corruption issues.
Re: NPM, how does that work? Do you manually unpack tarballs? I believe some distributions package popular NPM modules, but certainly not all of them -- not using npm doesn't really seem feasible.

> I‘ve come to realise more and more that most people reason out of belief first and arguments second on a lot of things (maybe most things?) Climate change deniers are an obvious example

Do you think most climate change believers reasoned themselves into that position? I think for >95% of people, belief in climate change is a purely social phenomenon. The overwhelming majority of people don't understand enough about physical phenomena like blackbody radiation to have any intelligent opinion about climate change one way or the other.
