The fundamentals in the recording space don't have much to do with DAWs at all; they go all the way back to analog recording on tapes etc. That's why many DAWs have skeuomorphic details - like the "seven-segment displays" in LMMS's interface - to hearken back to physical hardware.

I wouldn't worry too much about learning things in an application-specific way first and generalizing later. To extend your analogy, you're currently at the "how do I computer" level of understanding; knowing theoretically "I need to boost the kick drum at 800Hz by 3dB with a 60Hz bandwidth" isn't going to do you any good if you can't find the buttons in your specific DAW to make that happen.

One thing you'll definitely find: different tools are optimized for very different workflows. You _could_ technically record a 2-hour live orchestral performance in Ableton (a tool centered around triggering loops), but you'll definitely be ice-skating uphill.
As a lifelong rubyist, this is definitely what I would say "useless". Maybe it's just because I've been stuck in Ruby 2.6 ~~hell~~ land for so long but I remember seeing a colleagues leetcode challenge for a job interview that used Ruby 3.1 and he used a bunch of these new syntax sugars and I was really rubbed the wrong way by them. Code the omits arguments is neither more readable (what exactly is getting passed around here?) or maintable (what happens when you have some condition that may apply to one of the arguments, then you just need to unwrap all the "nice" things and do it more traditionally).

The elipsis ... especially rubs me the wrong way because multiple periods either .. or ... denotes range types, but now we have a special case where ... is something completely different. Bah humbug.

They seem nice in clean blog scenarios with trivial examples, but in my experience they are not conducive to writing readable and maintable code.

Thankfully I can just disable their use in my projects (for the most part) with rubocop. All the hip young kids can write their magic code, I'll stick to more straightforward constructs that anyone can figure out.

Modern governments are a democratic monopoly. Corporations aren't democratic, if a corporation gets powerful enough to overthrow the government and replace them you will be in much worse hands than if the current democratic government could remain in power.

So we shouldn't cheer on private corporations that developers technology that could allow them to replace the government, that is really really scary if they actually succeeds in doing it.

Not so, much more typical to just take an anonymous function for things ruby uses blocks for. For example, map, or filter (select in ruby), or reduce.

“with-open” is a macro because it needs to do something more complicated (create a bunch of bindings then close each one created, in addition to executing a fn body where those bindings are available).

Passing an fn is preferred because functions are more broadly preferred in Clojure code to macros, for both practical (more composable) and cultural reasons.

Definitely makes sense to me, too! There' a clear customer profile, it solves a specific problem, and I could reach this audience with an offering with relatively little time + expense.

I also think you're right that a lot of amateur fitness enthusiasts like to train with/to "mil specs" because of the connotations of badassery it portrays. Can't blame them... :)
In practical terms, if you're using the distribution's interpreters for anything other than running code supplied by the distro, you're going to be in a world of pain. That is the whole point of a distro: to supply a known-good set of mutually compatible software.

Expect to be building your own environments if you want to run things that are not in your distro.
The thing is that you're absolutely right and I never meant to dispute what you're saying. However just like the teleporter that deconstructs you and reconstructs you somewhere else, even though the person that comes out is entirely identical to the person that went in and will also feel as such (i.e. nothing went wrong from their perspective), the person that went in experienced death, and will never actually get to be the person that came out.

Basically, you killed someone, then restored a snapshot of when they were still alive. The one you killed will never know of the snapshot or get to be that snapshot, while the snapshot will live on exactly as the original would have. I don't want to be that original who never gets to see the snapshot.

Yes, the snapshot will inherit everything that makes me "me", and yes the snapshot will get to live life normally. But I die.
Is your point that supplements have side effects? I don't think that's surprising to anyone at all.
It's valid in PowerShell, if "." is defined as a function:

The first dot is an operator which invokes a command in the current scope, the second dot is our command ".", and the third dot is passed to the command as a string.

Q* Hypothesis: Enhancing Reasoning, Rewards, and Synthetic Data
Gmail generally works fine. Outlook works too most of the time.

"Outlook Enterprise" is a mess that refuses email for no good reason. Sometimes it's because Microsoft's DNS resolvers are broken (and can't validate SPF/DKIM), sometimes it's because the mail server rewrites message headers and then tries to validate the signature (which fails, obviously).
So you spent time building something that is actively less useful than what already exists in the world.

I don't mean to be rude by that but I just don't get it.
I think our main disagreement is in the recognition of the fact that sex trafficking and prostitution are irrevocably linked, such that you cannot meaningfully tackle one without considering the other.

Your approach would be to consider both in a vacuum. Let us legalize prostitution because according to you it is axiomatic that a legal framework will necessarily be better for participants of the prostitution industry, and we can consider sex trafficking as a wholly separate independent problem.

I fundamentally disagree because based on available evidence, legalization of prostitution exacerbates the already existing sex trafficking problems which have demonstrable negative results in countries which have legalized prostitution.

I also disagree with shoe horning sex trafficking into the existing umbrella of "labor exploitation" since sex trafficking is at a scale where it demands it's own consideration for solutions and ways to contain it's growing influence, and yes, one of those techniques is to outright outlaw prostitution to stymie the growth of this cancerous industry in the world.

Fundamentally, you are making a trade off here - you are saying worker rights for prostitution trump stopping the spread of sex trafficking. You could argue it is a fair trade, but there is also an argument that it isn't on balance a societal benefit to make that trade off. Saying "we need to target sex traffickers better" isn't an answer, because countries are already trying and failing to do that - what is the magic secret sauce we can invent as a policy to stop it when there isn't an example to follow? Saying "we need to prioritize worker rights" isn't convincing, because if overall exploitation increases you are increasing the scope of vulnerable people being exploited, and it isn't a good trade off for society.

No, AI work boils down to “output computation results that humans hallucinate could have been generated by a human””

We’re just normalizing to our innate sensibilities. We have no idea if we’re making intelligence or what that even means as us humans must work within the constraints we evolved into. We have no idea if we generalized consciousness as it could exist across space time.

You and I will never exist outside our universe and observe what makes it tick. We’re hanging out on Earth making mannequins talk, hallucinating we’re gods because of it. Humans are artificial intelligence given their lack of direct observation of so much of the universe.

Conway came up with his game of life after the universe. Sorry, AI researchers, life, consciousness and visualization were already created by reality. We’re just working on an easy to use Dewey Decimal system to catalog it.
I don't see why it should be, as selfish as that may sound. Texas made a conscious choice to isolate their grid from the rest of the country, for ideological reasons as much as any.

It can be a state emergency. I don't see why we should be stepping in to fix something for Texas that they absolutely can fix, but are choosing not to.

If I found myself defending a language by comparison with Perl, I'd be nervous. I worked in that language for most of a decade, and there are many reasons why I refuse ever to touch it again for longer than required to write a shell oneliner.

I didn't work with Ruby for nearly as long as that, not least because I found it to share too many of the same problems. I understand why the few people who deeply appreciate it do so, and I don't really judge them for that, but a wider and less partial perspective is also needed.

Then, too, nothing here actually defends Ruby's design per se. That nothing better could be expected at the time is really as close as we get, but as I discussed in more detail on another branch of the thread, contemporaneous Javascript suffices to dispose of that claim. That there are less well designed languages than Ruby I freely grant, but that's also not much of a defense.
If you're interested in this piece, and interesting music writing generally, check out this book by Paul Morley...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_and_Music:_A_History_of_...

"Words and Music: A History of Pop in the Shape of a City is a 2003 book charting the history of popular music, by the music journalist and cultural commentator Paul Morley. Its style takes the form of a robotic Kylie Minogue traveling, with Morley, in a "cyber-car" toward a city of "sound and ideas". The starting points for this history of popular music are Morley's favourite pieces at the time of writing, Kylie Minogue's electro-pop song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and Alvin Lucier's experimental "I am sitting in a room" "

Quite an original book as you can probably tell just from the description!
> The only reason to prefer a unikernel is because you wrongly believe that hypervisors are a security boundary.

That's wrong. They rightly believe that traditional operating systems deployments come with much larger attack surfaces.
Perhaps it's a reference to a relativistic quirk having to do with cosmic rays. When a high-energy cosmic ray hits the atmosphere, it can create a meson or something. This sub-atomic particle isn't stable and has a tiny half-life, really it is mostly just an intermediary mid-way through the feynman diagram of the cosmic particle collision interaction, where the actual result is a typical output of stable electrons or neutrinos or what have you.

It gets weird because you see evidence of these mesons or whatever way down below the part of the atmosphere where cosmic rays impact. Like, if you multiply the half life of the meson with the speed of light, you get a result that should be way shorter than the actual distance you see mesons (or what have you) actually traveling. Depending on how you look at it, it's like the mesons are traveling faster than the speed of light given how far they're going before decaying.

It turns out these particles are traveling so close to the speed of light that the passage of time is different for the particles than an observer on earth. Their half-life duration occurs within their frame of reference, which is different than ours. So even though the particle was traveling at (fake numbers) 1 kilometer a second and traveled 3 kilometers, it only had a lifespan of 1 second. It plays out this way because 3 seconds on earth transpired during the particle's 1 second in its own frame of reference and thus we saw it travel 3 kilometers during the particle's own 1 second, despite the speed of light being just 1 kilometer per second. So depending on how you look at the numbers it can seem like it was 3x faster than the 1km/s speed of light.

I realize this almost of creates more (and bigger) questions than answers.

Thanks, I had seen the title with the cloning issue, and I even commented, but I thought it didn't apply to me as new features are never deployed until at least a few months have passed and other people have confirmed they work well.

I was only worried about the zfs send | zfs receive bug corrupting both pools.

I had been too lazy to check the details, so I had missed that the bug could be triggered even when you DON'T use block cloning at all but just copy files, and even on old versions like 2.1.4: it's only the probability of the bug that increases.

I only caught this issue through reddit.

Now thanks to your link after going through all the github comments I'm rereading all the comments from the HN thread from 2 days ago to decide how to analyze several months worth of backups, some of them not on ZFS, but all of them sourced from ZFS and therefore now suspicious of silent corruption.

Hopefully, this warning will stay long enough in the toplist for affected users to deploy the simple countermeasures or at least preserve their backups until we know how to identify the affected files reliably enough (though number of contiguous zeroes, repeating patterns inside the file etc)
Ignoring compiling and polyfilling for older JS versions, Typescript is extremely popular. While it's compiled, all things beside the type system are from Javascript by design including syntax.

Bunch of lying management people. It shows how this company is controlled and by what kind of people. People without passion for gaming. The only thing they can is lying and focusing on short term money. Any good human would just tell the truth. Of course this was planned. The reaction of gamers was not predicted and now they blame it because of a technical issue. Yeah right. Uninstall Ubisoft.
That is an accomplishment!

I'll have to get it to explain, since most of that shit is incomprehensible to me...
This reads like a picture painted by an American mindset (apologies if I’m misclassifying). There’s nothing wrong with that – I’m not convinced that it would actually work there (I lived in CA for many years).

However, and this is crucial, there are already 15-minute cities. They’ve been around for many hundreds of years, before the US was even founded as a state. They are alive and well, and they come with some compromises that many Americans don’t like, and that’s ok. But they do not rely on surveillance at all (unless you count dense neighborhoods as privacy-invasive in and of itself). It’s also not an ideology, it’s just how cities were constructed before cars.

Yes, there is obesity and yes, there will be long COVID, but the health-positive initiatives (more women actually encouraged to work out; men not perceiving weightlifting as gay; marathons are a normal thing now; herpes zoster vaccines helping with long-term immunity against a probable cause of Alzheimer’s dementia; cigarette smoking as socially unacceptable behaviour) will tip the scales in favour of longevity towards making it to 100-120.
I can verify that an M1-M3 Mac running Sonoma (14.1.1) the U3224KB supports 6144 x 3456 at 30bit (60Hz). Under Ventura this did not work. Seems fixed now.
Surely the "efficiency" is just being transferred from software to hardware e.g the hardware designers are having to come up with more efficient designs, shrink die sizes etc to cope with the inefficiency of the software engineers? We're starting to run into the limits of Moore's law in this regard when it comes to processors, although it looks like another race might be about to kick off for AI but with RAM instead. When you've got to the physical limits of both, is there anywhere else to go other than to make the software more efficient?
The government doesn’t need to invest in it. It can make generators and grid operators do the investments and recovery the funds from ratepayers.

Well, it's just float values while it's being transformed from node to node but ultimately those floats are exchanged for tokens. Tokens as kinda like letters except certain common combinations are clumped together based on how frequently they are used in human language.

So "I" and "a" are likely tokens even though they are just one letter, while hamster is most likely two tokens of "ham" and "ster". I think it's just done for efficiency, since it reduces amount of variations by a great deal not having to have a separate value for every single letter. The amount of nodes that needs to interact with the value for "dog" is a lot smaller than the amount of nodes that needs to interact with the value for "d", thus the neutral network can be a lot more effective.

But those tokens are translated to unicode before it's printed out to humans as the end result.

I think it is actually ChatGPT – and it's one of the few genuinely beneficial uses of the technology. Sure, you have to watch out for it making up an "explanation" of what's in the image, but if you treat it like a whimsical, self-absorbed prankster, it's so much better than not having it.

I'm looking forward to a system that only describes what it sees (and what can be drawn from it), rather than doing stuff like trying to explain non-visual jokes (that, inevitably, it doesn't get). As I understand, that would require training new models from scratch, on training data that might not yet exist – but unlike the majority of the LLM GenAI hypey nonsense, this is actually a real, useful tool.
That assumes they have a tit for our tat.
I’d guess at most a single digit number of people faced any enforcement consequences of violating stay-at-home in all of the USA. It was purely government performance art to say they were Doing Something.
US had space shuttle which was the better in most of the metrics compared to Russia except cost. They knowingly discarded it because Russian rockets were cheaper.
I agree but I don't think our adversaries should get a freebie that's trained on our scientific data at a national laboratory.

Which makes me wonder. I'm not sure this applies here but say you train a model on classified information, is the model/weights then classified?
Texan here. Some things to know about this general topic:

(1) After the huge power outages in February 2021, state government promised various improvements (weatherization, etc.) would be made. Trust in them is low, but it's true that in the next winter (2022), we didn't have any significant power outages. We also didn't have such extreme cold weather, though.

(2) The state's population has increased rapidly in the last decade, and construction of power plants has not kept pace. This is one of the main reasons for the outages.

(3) Because of (2), price volatility has been crazy. Investors have added quite a lot of battery storage to the grid recently hoping to capitalize on this volatility. (It's buy low, store, sell high.) We had record demand this last summer because the insane heat wave, and the batteries helped us ride that out with no significant outages[1].

(4) Texas has a big budget surplus, and in the recent election, there were several propositions of the form "should Texas spend X billion dollars on Y?" One of them was Proposition 7, which creates a $10 billion fund for the grid, mainly power generation. It passed[2]. Basically only fossil fuel plants are eligible, and true to form for Texas government, they did not mention that on the ballot.

In my own opinion, since it will take time to build more generation, we are probably not in great shape for the next few years, but there does seem to be deliberate action that should move us in the direction of reliability.

When it comes to renewability and climate change, the state doesn't seem to care about that, but at least (through dumb luck) we are getting some grid battery storage as a consolation prize. (I support efforts to fight climate change, so I'm trying to find a silver lining here.)
