When major YouTubers like this stop uploading, I assume they're still getting fairly generous Adsense checks each month, which may decline over time, but, are probably not nothing and would continue ostensibly forever? I wonder what the numbers are if you grind for 5 years to build a multi-million subscriber count, then just stop (but leave everything online)?
Quite a few claims on the internet that they're flagging content still.
I also have a software background and have been learning hardware design recently for a midi controller project of my own.

For the project you describe, you probably don't need more than a basic understanding of electricity. You'll want a microcontroller. I like the Teensy, as it has good libraries and many people have used it for midi-related projects.

You'll probably also want to design a proper PCB. You wouldn't have to, but once you know how to do it, it opens up a lot of possibilities. Kicad is great, once you get the hang of it. The learning curve is steep. There are a lot of good videos on youtube though.

I've been using JLCPCB for boards, and mostly Tayda for through-hole parts. JLCPCB's minimum order is five boards, and if you aren't doing anything fancy it's usually super cheap.

Boards can be either be all through-hole or you could have some surface mount. Surface mount is great for mass production, as you can order the boards with the surface mount components already placed, and it's cheap.
Things don't have to be momentous to have a measurable impact in the long term. Unwinding intangible property rights has tremendous value for the public, and we should get it sooner.
My personal family experience had been that today in the US it's very hard to get an ADHD diagnosis, at least if the patient is smart and manages to achieve decent school grades.
This reminds me of what's happening with the automakers, whose productivity was whacked by supply chain issues during the last few years. They made many fewer cars, but the prices went way up. Dealers were happy to make easy sales (and cut their sales staff along the way), and manufacturers didn't have to offer rebates. It was like the external events allowed them to act as a cartel for a while, cutting production and increasing profits. Things were starting to revert to normal, but recently they've been loudly announcing how they're shutting down planned factories or cutting manufacturing capacity.

RVC is voice conversion (audio to audio), and it's typically finetuned.

This is zero shot TTS. Samples create vector encodings that serve as input to inference. There's no retraining the model unless you want it to generalize or perform better.
It's not too uncommon to see books available online from an official location. At least math and CS textbooks
The fee should be enough to be meaningful - say, $100 or so. If the claim turns out to be wrong, the fee should go to the accused party.

If an organization files many claims that turn out to be false, they should be forbidden from filing further claims for a year, or face massive fines.
Thanks. Clearly there are (or were at the time of the article) serious allegations that it is a possibility.
The idea is to have your entire work space in one place. Gimp, PDF viewers, IDE (not just VS code), terminal tabs, running docker containers with your application.

Basically just what you would do with some kind of remote desktop. But it's not remote, it runs locally, with perfect latency. And it's easy to switch to another computer with any underlying host OS, without even interrupting your applications (if hibernate idea would work).
And a good portion of that fine should be sent to the targeted party.

While NASA Administrator, Michael Griffin wrote in 2007 that the shuttle program had been a colossal mistake and that Apollo-Saturn-Skylab should have continued <http://aviationweek.typepad.com/space/2007/03/human_space_ex...>:

>Let’s assume that we had kept flying with the systems we had at the time, that we had continued to execute two manned Apollo lunar missions every year, as was done in 1971-72. This would have cost about $4.8 billion annually in Fiscal 2000 dollars.

>Further, let us assume that we had established a continuing program of space station activities in Earth orbit, built on the Apollo CSM, Saturn I-B, and Skylab systems. Four crew rotation launches per year, plus a new Skylab cluster every five years to augment or replace existing modules, would have cost about $1.5 billion/year. This entire program of six manned flights per year, two of them to the Moon, would have cost about $6.3 billion annually in Fiscal 2000 dollars. The average annual NASA budget in the 15 difficult years from 1974-88 was $10.5 billion; with 60% of it allocated to human spaceflight, there would have been sufficient funding to continue a stable program of lunar exploration as well as the development of Earth orbital infrastructure. I suggest that this would have been a better strategic alternative than the choices that were in fact made, almost 40 years ago.
> what mechanism causes the primordial gas cloud to collapse?

Gravitation. As I understand, all current science consider it fundamental force of nature.

So, even atom have (sure, tiny) gravitational attraction, and huge gas cloud have huge total gravitational mass, and when long time unaffected by third party sources, slowly become more compact, until collapse to solid matter and eventually to BH.

Serious question, in what circles are those top theories? I am sure C plays into it, and I know I live in a bubble; but I would expect any list of this type to include something like: large scale upward wealth transfers from bailouts/stimulus in 2008/2009 and covid, which has resulted in zombie companies taking over major sectors of the economy; or, trade deficits caused by our money being the global reserve asset have hollowed out the industrial base, obviously economically but also spiritually as people have lost the jobs that made them feel like they contribute to society. Im not trying to get at you or something, I just genuinely want to know where people are talking like this, what do they think about, how do they see things, thats all.
> Expect less new builds in the future

Builders want to build, and lenders want to lend.

I recently discovered that in my old neighborhood in Chicago, 4 high rise residential towers have started construction in a 3-block radius in the last 6 months. And over on the other side of downtown, developers have secured financing to begin construction of an 800+ foot tall apartment building on the site of the $300 million hole in the ground (an Irish developer had planned to built a 2000 foot tall building, but went bankrupt while building the foundation).

I saw a report by the city of Chicago last month that broke out office vacancy by age of the building, and in new towers the vacancy rate is single digits. Now, you and I both know that the likely explanation is that the tenants of these buildings were solid companies that signed long-term leases as the construction was finishing up. Once those first leases end, all bets are off.

But, “It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It”. Builders are going to point at that stat and say that new office towers are a good investment. Lenders are going to point at that stat and say that new office towers are safe to finance.

Count on it.

Vision.ai Was Sold for $100K
It's interesting that this paper, and even the one it references to blame the kernel - these groups don't seem to be interested in fixing kernel problems. Maybe it's just that there are more people doing research on the application level, and for them, working around the kernel makes more sense. Making changes that improve the kernel would have large knock-on benefits in other areas, but those are outside the groups' domain.

Tuning kswapd and shootdown would be worthwhile, especially since systems are getting dramatically fatter (even ignoring the appearance of low-latency storage).
You have invented the pink ghost from Pac-Man.
I think this would also make another possible fault more dangerous: a break in neutral somewhere between an AC device and the panel.

If there was also a DC device on the same side of the break as the AC device, then you'd have a possible return path for the AC current that goes through the DC device, the ground wire, and the DC power supply.

In addition to that, would it also cause problems with GFCI?

The 12 VDC return current would be on the neutral. I'd guess that a steady DC current on the neutral wouldn't cause problems, but whenever a DC device is switched on or off, or you use a DC device that has a fluctuating instantaneous power need, that should induce current in the GFCIs sensing coil that won't be canceled out by an opposite current induced from the load wire.

I don't know if that mismatch would be long enough or large enough to trip the GFCI.
probably the easiest way would be to buy an amazon gift card in cash and deliver it to a locker/shop for pickup, although you'd likely still need to link it to a phone number
Gnuplot Version 6.0 Release Notes
It’s almost like 3d rendering is vertices and shading is an embarrassingly parallel problem which is quite trivial to make faster by throwing more hardware at it.

General layouting/text rendering, etc are not like that, and there is not even a “free” improvement anymore with single-threaded CPU speeds plateauing.

The law is working exactly as intended. The copyright lobby is very powerful. If you look at the legislation being proposed since 2010, it has primarily been to strengthen the DMCA. Though Google, Reddit, Meta, Wikipedia, etc. were successful in organizing opposition to these bills, they have no incentive to lobby for the repeal of the DMCA.
Browsers have extremely good backwards compatibility, five or ten years should really not net you any problems. They do carry quite a bit of bloat however, though so do most native toolkits these days.
The beginning was better than what I expected (mentioning the 'in mice' effect) so I thought I would look at it, but... It's mostly wrong? What? I mean, it shows they've done research, but isn't it really incomplete? I'm clearly not an expert, but I was obese and did some surface level research on the subject to loose weight (sadly sugar is not the only thing that triggers food cravings for me, all food do), I think they are mixing up a lot of different research but don't really understand? I mean, it's - mostly - okay as an entry level video, and if people reduce their sugar consumption thanks to that, it's a win. But really it's surface deep and you shouldn't take anything as facts (unless you have an almost obese nephew/niece who could profit from eating less sugar, in that case, anything goes).
It's nice to see Youtube channel end on their own terms. So many creators burn out without warning, maybe a written explanation somewhere. Very few would post a video saying this channel is dead for obvious reasons.

It's probably against the rules, but I hope he reuploads every week from episode 1. I haven't gone through 10 years of backlogs and it's nice when new videos, as in videos that's never been watched comes to you.

It would also be nice if he (and creators in general) reformatted the videos into season format. Way easier to mentally keep track whether you watched something or not. 20 seasons of 6 months / 24 videos each.
Also, it was when much content was meaningful. Scientific American was interesting. Popular mechanics had actual mechanical projects. Computer magazines were all adds but even the adds were showing amazing things full of real potential. Now corprat curated content is much cheaper empty calories.

There is great content but you have to dig and sometimes I am just to tired from real life.
First time I've seen one of these books where I wished there was more words and less math. Usually it is quite the opposite. But this book seems written as if they wanted to avoid natural language at all costs.

More data:

> [Elisabeth] Bik later told The [Stanford] Daily in an interview, relying on her experience of investigating more than 20,000 papers for research misconduct and causing nearly 1,000 retractions and roughly the same number of corrections to make that claim.

https://stanforddaily.com/2022/11/29/stanford-presidents-res...

Let's assume Bik chooses papers to investigate because, to a significant degree, her expert judgment is that they are most likely to have fraud, and Bik may know that topic better than anyone in the world.

Of the 20K most likely candidates, 5% were retracted and 5% corrected, and 90% apparently needed neither (though possibly they were inconclusive or she couldn't convince publications or authors to retract).
To nitpick, the git commit already contains information about which files are affected; adding it explicitly to the commit message does not add value and, like comments, may be incorrect. I like the angular style guide's concept of "scope", like, what category or module of the application does it apply to.

That said, an "utils" file is often a smell in code organization.

Hrm... In a YouTube video I'm pretty sure he says that free states can't exist without capitalism but that doesn't mean unfree states can't be capitalist too. In fact this was in response to an audience member claiming he said what you are roughly saying.
But it wasn't a bad decision. Unless we believe that investing ICE or steam engines was a bad decision. Based on technology available at the time electric batter powered cars were a dead end. The market was just too small to justify the massive investment required to make them competitive with ICEs.

You probably don't (yet) have the power to fix the process, so it's better to learn the game of getting promoted first.

Also you wrote that you suggested a change in the process, not that it was accepted.
People who don’t validate assumptions are made into fools.

Tried everything and ended up with silos of information every where. It kind of works at expense of order and sanity. In no particular order: Notion, OneNote, Markor (oss, Markdown,Android), Zettlr (oss,Markdown, desktop). Pocket and Firefox collections for bookmarks. Notepad++ projects full of Markdown files are used as well. One day I will unify them into one app to rule them all (yeah right). Different apps seem to lend themselves to different purposes: reference info, project planning, writing for others, diaries.

A few consistent themes are:
- Markdown is important

- Syncing or at least access between devices is crucial - hence the OneNote and Notion. Love the Firefox collections and "send tab to device" feature

- any iOS use means that an open source unified solution will be well nigh impossible

Great to see more accessible references on font internals!

Uhm... I didn't read. And, I'll comment anyway. Sorry if I miss a point or two. I did read the whole thread, though (116 comments as per now).

Reason was not "Too long" as I never even clicked the link. It was due to the link title "solvingprocrastination", as that name framed procrastination as a thing that needed to be "solved" somehow.

I'm sure that for some, sometimes that is the case. For me, not much so.

See, procrastination is a tool. It allows my subconscious to review and analyse a problem field while I keep my conscious self engaged with something else. Preferably solving some other issue. Rarely entertainment. I guess the situations where I'd want to peruse entertainment are not that often situations where I have important stuff to do, but I don't know. (I'm thinking mostly @job here, not leisure time)

What I do when faced with a problem that needs a solution, but for some reason or other I have no obvious "attack vector" (just to make a poor pun on the HN site name) it this: I do nothing. That is, I do something of course, especially if it's at $job: I do something else. Go solve some other task. While I do that the part of me that excels in solving really complicated stuff does what it does best.

This will not bring me the perfect solution. Most of the time it will not even bring me closer to the solution. All the while I'm doing something else entirely, so I don't even expect progress on the issue I put on the mental parking lot for a while.

But, somehow, when I start the task that I postponed, this happens: I really start it. I focus, I get going. Implement things, analyze and break down, and become productive. From square one. Thanks to, I believe, doing nothing for a while.
Is it? We’re going to peak at 10 billion. The population seems like it could fall quite a bit before it became an existential threat. Humanity numbered in the thousands at one point I believe.

Still I generally am glad Japan is going though this process as population decline is inevitable and immigration only delays it.
