It depends on the language you're parsing, of course. But the most important thing is to know when your parser is on the right track again. The (most of the time) easiest (but not necessarily first possible) such point is the next definition statement.

They both have at least a decade experience in the industry and Iccha Sethi seemed like a knowledgeable engineer. She also seemed pretty genuine and enthusiastic about her team's work on this.

The video is just pretty short and very surface level and it would've been better if it was an 8 - 10 minute video. Then they could have included the people taking the things apart and put some shots of actual work being done in.
I always wondered why we cannot find hot filled appliances in the old continent.

Also, I wonder why compressors in heatpumps are not multi-speed (basically energy consumption can be modulated). If you are an expert please let me know I'd love to talk more.
This Spotify client could autolink to artists on Bandcamp.

Radio playlists often have artist links. Sometimes they work. For example:

http://www.kser.org/content/live-playlist
I think a lot of it also has to do with the ethics of music distribution and the fact that spotify pays the actual artists almost nothing.

p.s. probably not engineers in the literal sense ;)
The agency gets to expense it, as they do not bear the risks and benefits of commercialization. Their client has to amortize it, though.

Reminds me of Luther Burbank:

They use a master equation for transcription, so they could theoretically get bursty behavior. But, my understanding is that the most well understood cause of burstiness is caused in eukaryotic cells by rearrangement of histones allowing transcription. Since this happens on a slower timescale than transcription you get bursts when the histones periodically get out of the way.

Bacteria (like this minimal cell) don’t have histones but they do have bursty transcription, which is weird. Apparently it might be caused by DNA supercoiling and uncoiling [1], which is weird and cool. That said, they definitely don’t model that, so I’d be surprised if they got bursting transcription. If they did, I’d be interested in knowing what mechanism is causing the transcription bursts in the model.

Thanks for sharing this! Gergely asked me to review this post before it went live, and his interpretation of the issue is correct.
> Even if you only listen to one artist, 8 hours per day, 365 days a year, they will earn a whopping... 100 bucks from Spotify.

Is that not reasonable? I mean, obviously this number represents a market price point: the system has reached an equilibrium where the "aggregate value" of being able to listen to music full time is $100/year (plus or minus all the confounding factors like who bears it and how it's distributed, etc...).

Is $100/year wrong? That is, after all, right about the price of the subscription you're likely paying already. So... it sounds right to me? What's the mechanism you are imagining where customers paying for subscriptions of that order somehow produce payments to the artists that are significantly higher?

I think a lot of the disconnect here is that the idea of "music revenue" is different in today's world than it was in the days of the 70's rock star. People used to pay a lot more for music! But they don't anymore, and all the parties take a hit, not just Spotify/Apple/et. al.

@edgyquant, not harder, more tax efficient
> ponying up €10.99 is a huge ask.

I guess that would depend on how much music you listen to. If you listen very occasionally, then yeah €10.99 for unlimited streaming isn't worth it. In that case, you can just buy songs individually.

If the price for individual songs is also a "big ask" for you, then you simply don't think music is worth paying for.

This isn't a "pay what you want" model where someone creates a product and asks you to pay whatever you feel is appropriate, they're creating a product and setting an explicit price for it.
The one before Yew's times was still a British colony port overlooking a critical shipping route. I'm not sure how such arrangement may not result in significant economic development. Hong Kong didn't have Yew but it had significant quality of development.
Spotify pays ~$0.004/stream.

1,000 streams is $4.00. That's a coffee.

Lots of services for creators have minimum payouts. Google AdSense won't pay you until you reach $100. Patreon has a $10 minimum payout using PayPal. A threshold of just $4 is actually very much on the low side.

I genuinely don't understand how this is something to get upset over. It's comparable to what an artist used to make in royalties from a single CD sold. What's more surprising to me is that Spotify previously didn't have a minimum at all.

As I said above, the goal is to build a trusted personal brand.

This works for job hunting. But not in terms of building a brand.

It is fun that this is even a problem in some parts of the world. In Denmark we absolutely know when people are dead and pension payments to deceased people is a non-issue.
Very cool - I chatted with someone in NYC, another in Switzerland, and a third in Mumbai, and a few others I didn't ask where they were - there are fascinating people everywhere!
Transparency was a massive advantage to the point it became default compressed format for e.g. Android apps.
A few people paying $x million more per year in taxes is insignificant but tens of thousands of people paying $x million more per year in taxes is significant. For example I advocate for raising taxes in my locality to better fund the schools. It’s bad policy to say, “Well why don’t you just voluntarily pay more?”

Whether or not you still think people should just volunteer to pay more if they think taxes are too low you have not addressed the essence of the situation. Namely, “Are taxes too low and should they be raised?” Why or why not?
Good point. I was responding to the question above but at this point, NASA can legitimately consider SpaceX as part of their manned flight program. It makes way more sense to do it this way.

That's true, but market misallocations do eventually correct (recessions). Government mandated misallocations can go on for decades without anything to naturally check them.

I'm not sure what you mean in your second paragraph. Keeping the monetary base stable is eminently possible.
Yes. The free version gives you basic stats, the pro version gives you detailed stats.
You don't need to document everything
This isn’t like a loan where the longer the term the smaller the payments. It’s the reverse.

You essentially pay taxes now on income, and can’t deduct costs for 5 or 15 years. So it’s kind of like pre-paying taxes and not getting the money back for 5/15 years. Say that you need to go borrow cash to cover the shortfall. Is it cheaper to borrow money for 5 or 15 years?
This is correct. Since it was basically accounting sleight-of-hand to get a better score from the Congressional Budget Office, they knew this would be disastrous if it took effect, and were widely expected to repeal it before it did. That deal, which also paired fixing it with the child tax credit, fell apart in December 2022.
Overlaying outdoor temperature is also helpful. One degree HVAC change makes a lot bigger difference when it's 0F (-18C) vs 40F (4C) outside

I've seen decent reviews on the "no plumbing required" water meters. Flume has a product available in the U.S. that gets pretty good reviews (https://www.amazon.com/Flume-Smart-Water-Monitor-Detector/dp...).
Maybe but it shouldn’t be that big of a difference. M series processors are very energy efficient. Minis aren’t that expensive.

Note: 10x is the multiplier for GitHub actions. So maybe I’m wrong but I’m guessing it’s more capacity than cost and that gap should narrow.
It’s a partisan statement since you only mention the upper tax bracket and not that it also slashed taxes for the lowest one completely and reduced them for basically everyone while making changes to a ton of other things (like child tax credits) as well.

You’re over simplifying and singling out your pet political issue in an effort to sway opinion to your political leaning. If you had just said it was due to those tax cuts you likely wouldn’t have been downvoted.
> I think there's a difference between hacking for fun and feeling entitled to and arguing with weak arguments how you should be able to play music for free.

I don't think people want only to play music for free. I don't. But for sure this new definition of "what hacking is" is for sure annoying.
Closely guarded? It’s not available to the public. There’s probably a few million people who can access the death register in some capacity.

Unless he's alerted, which is the case here. He could agree with the woman that they both reverse their payment.
Cave was expressing an answer to a question about cutting corners in the process of creating music. ( https://www.theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-making-things-faster... ) There is certainly value in the work of nurses, bouncers and servers, and my interpretation of Cave's other written works leads me to believe that he is a proponent of finding joy and creative expression, even in tasks which don't have an obvious artistic product. AI lacks insight and lack of insight is what can turn a succulent feast of a life into biweekly deliveries of Soylent.
If we have to use an analogy I think a better analogy is that it’s blunt like a dull knife. From a ways back it might look sharp but zoom in and it’s not. The only way any of the current ai appears competent in any domain is if the user themselves it not.
That’s incorrect - client would still have to amortize the work
For a while now I've wondered which topic would force me to create a HN account and it turns out it is AI art.

My position is that AI "art" is absolutely a loss and not a gain for humanity. It is unfortunate that so many HN users are output focused on this and believe that AI tool -> output is the equivalent to human creativity -> output. Art is not the same as making a basket or glass. There are aspects to those processes that are painful, time consuming and tedious and therefore worth being automated. When it comes to creativity the process is part of the joy, even the painful aspects.

I use AI constantly for work because there is no joy in me whipping up a script or code snippet for something that isn't intellectually stimulating, in our work saving time is a benefit and automating things allow us to focus on the aspects of the work we enjoy. And the truth is AI will often do my work better than me when given the right context.

When I sit down to write some fiction I do not have the same desire to skip the labour and get an LLM to do the work for me. This would remove the entire point of why I do it. My art, be it better or worse than AI art, is an expression of self. This is not a tool as it is for coding, the endgame here is replacement.

Frankly, I find that most of the people that seem so dismissive of creative people's concerns have never attempted a serious creative project themselves and fail to understand the 'why' of art in the first place. If you do not care about meaning, process, and the millenia-spanning conversation that art is then it makes sense why you do not see this as an issue. If you see music as "pleasing sounds" and have no interest in the expressive side then sure, AI art is for you, but then it's not AI art, it's AI sounds, or AI images. Content is not the same as art.

This post will come across snobbish but I cannot find another way to put it. I want to have an open conversation but frequently reading comments that paint creatives as elitist is frustrating when these concerns are genuine. Art is not something that can be optimised and measured, no matter how hard you try, and removing the human aspect is removing the entire point.

I can't put all my thoughts here and I'll save you all the rest of the rant, but as someone with a deep respect for both programming and art I am confident that they are not equivalent despite many HN users treating them as such.

One day I hope to formulate the argument properly, but for now I'll leave you with this.
I suppose I don't really disagree with you, but a fair fraction of us would be likely to mourn, in fora like this, the end of the ability to sustain a middle-class existence via the craft of making software.

Some words and phrases associate the concept of black with negativity for no good reason.

Piracy is largely a convenience issue, not just a financial issue. When Netflix's streaming platform rolled around people were largely happy to stop pirating, when Netflix's catalog fragmented across two dozen different services that forbid account sharing then piracy became a thing again for many people who stopped pirating.

I had a Paramount+ subscription (alongside Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV) and wanted to watch a certain TV show on my device. Oops, my device was out of date so I couldn't download the app. No problems, I'll update it. Oops, my account is set to an overseas address so I can't download the app. No problems, I'll change my account settings. Oops, the app won't log in because my DNS blocks ads. No problems, I'll add a bypass for this app. Oops, the app sucks and crashes when I navigate through the catalog too quickly. No problems, I'll make my search more specific. Oops, the buffering speed is horrendous and scrubbing through the video crashes the app.

Guess what I did? Uninstalled the app and searched for a pirated version of the TV show. A minute later it was streaming fine on my device.
The whole region was undergoing transition from developing to highly developed, Singapore just leads the way because it is a) very small and have nothing holding it back, and 2) has a great location and legacy.

South Korea is way more impressive transition than Singapore. First of all, it is a large country with a local nation whose culture had to be preserved. Second, it was really poor, and after Korean war it was poorer than most of Africa.

Your CPA might be referring to rules for R&D tax credits, which covers a much, much more narrow scope of business activities. R&D credits cannot offset the impact of the amortization rules.

> I'd like to see your supporting evidence, because I'm not at all sure that claim is true

I believe it is, but of course it's hard to prove; I have my own libs in whatever language I use which are piping libraries very much inspired by FP, LINQ, Haskell, APL/k and other such things. And most things I do, do fit. But yeah; how to show that; I can translate most things we write anyway. We write SaaS in the broadest sense.

> For example, as far as I understand, GUIs are very hard to pipeline.

Are they? Aren't we pulling data in reducers, transforming it to structures that can be shown in the templates and transforming again on input/click and sending somewhere?

It's all pipes, kind of. Sure, some things are not, but those things at least we don't encounter very often. And when they are pipes, other ways of processing are just plainly worse in every way imho.

There is no such thing as free will if the big bang happened.
So this year if I spend $150k on foreign research (which includes ANY software development), and then I also earn $150k in revenue: despite me having $0 in the bank, I will only be able to deduct 1/15 of that, or $10k. In other words, I’ll be taxed as if I made $140k of profit, despite me not having any actual money left over.

You can see how if this was 5 years, then I could deduct 1/5 and I would be taxed on $120k profit, which is still bad, but not nearly as bad.
I liked the good ol' days when you could buy an LP/CD album and know that you'll have access to the music without depending on subscription services keeping them available.

I'm particularly annoyed by Spotify only keeping 'Remastered' versions of tracks that sound smooth/full/pleasing to new-time listeners but shave a lot of character off the original.
No doubt about the tampering comment. However, my gas, water, and electric meters are all wireless and now I want to be able to monitor them for on demand usage. We shall see.
What is the goal/direction of the brand, though? Most brands I know of have some sort of purpose, or something they are selling. I get that a personal brand is more like selling yourself, but what "buyer" are you targeting? VCs? Employers? Open-source contributors? Engineering students/mentees? Seems like the approach would vary depending on the answer. (Sorry maybe I'm just confused, I don't know much about marketing! I do have to fumble through a bit of it for my books though, and at least part of that process is figuring out the ideal audience.)
While it’s almost never useful to correct irregularities in spellings and pronunciations, this is a particularly poor correction.

the problem with tax is that it goes to government

billionaires may well recognize that they are the beneficiaries of a rather unfair system, but they may also balk at giving back their gifts, if it means handing them on to a quite inefficient, often opaque, and quite self-interested institution

maybe a solution is to sell government positions for taxes; the wealthy buy seats in government with increased taxes.

on the surface this seem like a terrible idea, but any self-serving decisions while in government would just lead to more taxes, etc.

in any case we should move away from a system where the ultimate bragging right is how much money you accumulate.

for example, i believe the status of rich ancient romans was tied to the public works that they enabled
Starliner is not cost-plus. It's under the same program as SpaceX.

> ...While the company had received $18 million under the NASA Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) contract by 2010 for early design work, substantial Boeing private funds would be required to complete development, even with Boeing competing for additional NASA contracts. This exposed Boeing to ordinary business financial risk that had not been a large part of traditional cost-plus contracting that Boeing had previously done for work on space capsules.

If you only listen to music that is on streaming services, then of course you would think that they have "basically all music", since everything else is forgotten. I pirated music before Spotify was available, which exposed me to a wide variety of international artists, and I still periodically look up some of my favorites on streaming services, only to find that they are still absent. So I continue to pirate and buy albums from time to time.

Buying used records or borrowing them from the library does not earn artists money either, but no one bitches about that. As far as I'm concerned, downloading rips is the digital equivalent.
No it really doesn't work that way. Companies don't go around testing the physical security of the banks that they use. They rely on the legal system and insurance to deal with any failures that the bank has.

The right to pen test businesses doesn't actually exist.
