Amon Tobin might be on here even, who knows.

I don’t want to say I’m disappointed with his output, because I’m not. His creative and artistic self is far beyond what most people are willing to invest and endure of their life force into, and I appreciate knowing a person like him is out there.

I suppose I’m mostly heartbroken that we’ve had a golden decade of some incredible music from this person and he has essentially disappeared into an abyss of soundscaping. I think Foley Room was the transition period and then ISAM really went all out.

Parallels can be made with bands like Autechre, but that’s a different discussion.

I just want Amon Tobin back.

I will never forget that day when I was 12 and tried the first Mac in a computer store.

Complete and total awe. Having only used Commodore 64's prior, I could not even believe it existed, and yet it screamed "THIS IS THE FUTURE".
Yeah, it's Xilinx AIE, stuff that was already supported on Linux - but it was differently connected on 7040: the AIE module being connected direct to Infinity Fabric, masquerading as PCIE device, instead of existing PCIE driver which assumed mediation done by on-fpga CPU etc. At least that's how it looked from what I've read in XRT docs so far.

This driver both provides necessary interface in place of an ARM core talking direct over AXI buses, and the glue logic to enable use of XRT.
Then I guess the extermination of the wolverines, passenger pigeons, american eagle, american buffalo, etc exemplifies what? The evils of capitalism? The evils of democracy? Not to mention the extermination of the native americans...

What's with all the deranged and obvious propaganda here? Your 'kid' really couldn't sleep for 2 night or did you make it up to push silly propaganda?
It’s not terribly intuitive that something that takes 30 days to kill you should be attempted for 10% of that.

You wouldn’t take 10% the lethal dose of cyanide.

Clearly fasting for extended periods can be done safely, but it’s not unreasonable to ask the question.

I use git rebase all of the time.
We rebase all features onto develop.
Develop is then merged --ff-only into stage/release, etc.
Which is then merged --ff-only into main/master, and then tagged.

I use squash less, as it can be helpful for blame of course, so rebase with minimal squash (like, squash that typo fix).

The article makes it sound like a 'rebase' workflow is so complex, and time consuming. Poppycock. it's easy, and force pushing a branch cause practically zero issues for developers.

If I have to rebase develop, for example, and then force push it, then remote users only have to do this:
git checkout develop
git reset --hard origin/develop

Since a user would never have any local changes in develop, it would never be an issue.

The "fanaticism" about and against rebasing is overblown in my opinion.
Oh, and the "time wasted" dealing with merge issues.. same, exactly the same in fact.

Granted, I don't go around rebasing everything all of the time, but a developer working on a feature just rebases to develop before they submit a PR. Sure, if there are multiple PR's then they also need a rebase merge, but since nobody would "continue" working on a feature once it is submitted, this isn't an issue.

Oh, and IF they did, well, again, they can just pull develop and rebase their feature.

Now, what I don't do is have multiple developers on a single feature branch. If my team was much larger, and that was a "normal process" then, it may well make rebasing more of an issue..
Linux desktop has come a long way. KDE, Gnome and newer shells that layer on top like Pop Shell are really a joy to use. I very rarely use Windows anymore except for gaming where there are still some compatibility issues. Steam has done great work here too. Battery life on a laptop is still an area where you might prefer to go the WSL route.
Edge supported epub until the bitter end of the Spartan renderer. It was only Microsoft's attempt at an ebook store that died long before that. Admittedly, most people's visibility into Edge epub support was through the Store and the sidebar dedicated to store purchases, but if you had no other book reader app take over the .epub file extension (or if you realized that you could drag and drop DRM-free .epub files into new tabs) Edge would still read them right up to the Chromium switch.
> The new terms are opt-in

It's unclear whether the old terms will be around forever or will be available to new developers.

They're also all-or-nothing for a given organization, as far as I understand; not sure if there's a way to form an "old terms subsidiary" entity.

What exactly does "stat arb" mean in this context? I assumed it meant "statistical arbitrage", so I was expecting the article to talk about a pairs trading strategy or something in that vein, i.e. a strategy that relies on a statistical relationship. But this seems to be more what I would call "geographical" or "locational" arbitrage where they're trading price differentials in the same instrument between multiple venues.
The other reply to you is buried for some reason but as they said, a hand-held battery powered unit is more convenient than something that requires a computer.
I'm not convinced GPT can infer correct actions needed for novel scenarios for contexts that have not been directly experienced in training.

Consider:

I have never in my multiple decades of existence had a ball roll out in front of me while driving. But if I were driving by a playground and a ball rolled out in front of me from between parked cars, and the ball itself is not a hazard because it has already passed my lane, I can infer that I need to slow or stop because a child may rapidly follow that ball.

In your ducking scenario, the AI needs direct perception of a door. I assume it cannot imagine a need to duck without 1) direct perception of the doorframe, or 2) previous experience of ducking through a doorframe.

I'm not convinced that GPT or any AI can infer that context for handling novel edge cases at this point. It could just be a need for more training data to correlate different contexts, but I don't think it's there yet.

I am not in a market for a new editor... not even a little bit.

But overwhelming positive experiences here, that I read, people being happy with using it made me try it out.

It really feels different and better. Can't say why and what it is. But first impression is very positive, even the theme, I didn't feel the need to change it.

Calendar subscriptions get put into a different name category. You can hide them or give them a low contrast color. I use it for sporting events and trash collection. I would love it if more companies and services exposed their events as a calendar feed.
> The PDF documents allow reliable search and copy/paste

Are you sure about that? As far as I understand, extracting text from an ultimately vector-graphics-like PDF heavily depends on ORC-like heuristics on the PDF consumer's side.

The ToUnicode mapping table can help with the glyph-to-codepoint mapping aspect of this, but figuring out the difference between the gap between two letters and two words seems hard.

My guess is that they're talking about the radiation efficiency -- the strength of signal you get for a unit of power. I would interpret that sentence to mean that communicating with a satellite over a dish antenna will take more power than using this helical antenna in its short state.

What's really crazy to me is that when you watch any film in >24(30?) fps, it looks like trash. I suppose it's because we're used to higher fps being home video? I wonder if films will ever be accepted or made in higher fps. Maybe if VR films actually become a real thing.
We will see, hopefully it will deliver.

struck a cord with this crowd huh. it wasn't an absolute and I immediately pointed out them raising [some] capital was real and available to them because they are also an example.

and it wasn't about starting a company, it was about doing what OP did which was playing the venture capital game. anyone can start a company, it takes $100 in the right state.

I think the point was clear but let me know if it wasn't, to you.
This documentary probably had something to do with it: https://vimeo.com/83750163

In it, a man investigates various means of execution, and concludes that nitrogen asphyxiation is the most 'humane' because the victim just passes out and then perishes. The presenter isn't necessarily wrong, but the caveats include a) the victim must breathe pure nitrogen, any oxygen present will prolong the experience; and b) if the victim is aware they are being executed, it is unlikely to be peaceful regardless.

Edit to add: Also, the physical discomfort from holding one's breath comes from increased concentration of CO2 in the blood, not the absence of oxygen. So as long as one can expel CO2 as usual, the lack of oxygen does not cause physical distress.
You're making meaningless distinctions.

Fundamentally, I don't see a difference between Apple writing some words and suddenly, you have to pay a fee for distribution of iPhone apps on non-Apple app stores, and say, a government writing some words and suddenly, foreign imports have to pay extra taxes. Neither is generating value; they're both rent-seeking in those examples. They both have power because of what's "theirs".

Alternately, you could say neither has any power, and both provide value. The government provides value by funding public infrastructure, promoting economic development, protecting citizens from foreign invasion, and so on. If citizens don't like it, they can vote the government out (though it would be different if it were a dictatorship).

In my original comment, I was basically irritated by you implying Apple has no "power," and that they can only counter the government's power through "value," i.e., making people's lives better somehow. It's insinuating Apple derives no power from their business, and that Apple provides value for no reason (hence the use of the word "altruism").

Elon tried like crazy to get out of the Twitter contract he signed and only caved once it was clear he would almost certainly lose in court.

The car I drive is not politicized. (For some people it is. They choose a pickup or an EV to signal that they belong to a tribe. I just pick a car because I want something reliable that meets my needs. 18-year-old Toyota Camry, if you're wondering.)

My to-do list for this weekend is not politicized, even though preparations for doing my taxes is on the list. My taxes are not politicized - I pay them regardless of what administration is in power, and I feel pretty much the same about paying them.

What I'm having for lunch is not politicized. It's just stuff that I like, that was pretty easy to put in a lunch sack.

My wife likes watching birds. I like watching trains. I don't think either of those are politicized.

What programming languages I like are not politicized.

And so it goes, through topic after topic that makes up my life.

I really am less a sheep than you think. I actually don't always agree with my tribe, and my tribe is less political than you think. (Even what I think of science is not politicized, and I don't fit neatly into a "tribe" on the topic. And I deplore the tendency to politicize science.)

"Everything is political" only if you view everything through a political lens. I don't. It's a really crummy, narrow lens to have to look at everything through.

As a Mathematician who worked in Theoretical Physics for a bit, I'm happy to hear that there's people out there interested in the area.

Maths often get a bad rep, but at their core they are probably the most interesting thing to learn, on par with music in my opinion.

I encourage anyone interested in Mathematics (regardless of your level) to check out Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality. I know it's technically a physics book, even though Penrose was originally a Mathematician, but trust me, he explains things in a way that open up your mind, even for seasoned veterans. He begins with basic calculus, but ends up covering Groups, Topology, Complex Analysis, Differential Geometry, etc etc etc.

And, on parallel, check out John Baez's guide on how to learn Maths and Physics:
https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/books.html

I love all of Baez's pages and work, he does some really interesting mathematics:
https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/

I'm also a big fan of Tai-Danae Bradley's work:
https://www.math3ma.com/

Anyway, I hope people find these recommendations interesting or useful...
It's not mentioned in the article whether structure is preserved, because if it's eliminating the "wrong" styles (affecting structure) then everything else it's doing right is irrelevant.
EDIT: The title has been changed since and the discussion has been unflagged

The problem is that this is such a partisan issue than partisanship can be perceived in the smallest of details.

As someone who was staunchly pro-palestinian but as of recently came to have a more informed and I hope a more nuanced view of the whole situation, I can't help to see the title as potentially misleading :

Is the ICJ saying to prevent the Genocide (i.e recognizes that a genocide is happening) or to prevent a potential genocide (that is it believes the situation could escalate towards a genocide) ?

From what I have read this is the second option, so I believe the title could be misleading.
The more a topic has a loaded emotional and symbolic value, the more careful the wording must be.

Also I remember how annoying it was that people did not share my indignation and how I perceived such carefulness as a form of voluntary blindness.

At the time of Jobs, apple's stance about security was mostly marketing as well.

Remember all the times when a computer could be compromised via a bug in the jvm that was supposed to safely run the java applets?

Normally it would be fixed immediately on linux and windows, and take months on osx because apple had their own jvm (that had the same bugs because it was just a fork).

Show HN: Conversational search in less than 500 lines of Python
Hi there! We built a Bing-chat-like conversational search engine with less than 500 lines of python code (and a similar amount of frontend script). The source code is fully open-source at https://github.com/leptonai/search_with_lepton , and we put up a live demo at https://search.lepton.run/. Let us know what you think!
You make two mistakes here which are very common in this topic. One, just because there have been plants where there is permafrost before, doesn't mean there is nothing new about this event. Everybody who studies a little bit about climate change will soon learn that the real problem isn't the change perse, its how fast it is happening. And that is also quite unprecedented.

Second, and most fatally, yes there was a lot of vegetation there. There was also a time when there were plants on the antarctic. The sea levels were 20 meter higher back then, which may give you a clue it could be a slight problem, as you yourself indicate.

There were mass extinction events before. Natural or not, some people might say they would feel humankind going extinct or almost so is exactly what a catastrophe is, pointing out something similar has happened before doesn't make it any better.

So no, the narrative doesn't fall apart. Furthermore, it is not a narrative in the first place, it is a risk assesment based on scientific understanding. There is no drama, just facts and theories. The hand-wavy 'it is all natural thus its good because we live in a just world and that magically makes everything okay and eco-logical and stuff', now that is a narrative.

My guess here is the reason it's so cheap is:

1. Airframe is near the end of it's lifespan.

2. Engines are near the end of their lifespan.

3. No one wants to buy an A380 so they are trying to get the price low enough to move it.

I know nothing about how to evaluate aircraft listings so it would be interesting is someone here with more knowledge could shed some light on this.

This goes beyond military tactics:

Yesterday, 0 trucks could enter Gaza, the day before that 9 out of 60, don't know about today. Note that under the convention against genocide, Israel is required to prosecute genocidal speech, much less such genocidal acts (apart from not committing them of course). Instead, as Yoav Gallant just posted this on Twitter:

> The State of Israel does not need need to be lectured on morality in order to distinguish between terrorists and the civilian population in Gaza. The ICJ went above and beyond, when it granted South Africa's antisemitic request to discuss the claim of genocide in Gaza.

... which is as good a summary as any for what you find at every corner with this: not just the unwillingness to learn, but the inability to even comprehend any of this. When Gideon Levy talks about the incredible depth of Israeli indoctrination, he isn't kidding, and he's not exaggerating.
I have no qualms about you or SingleFile. I used it today, it's great!

I just think market pressure created by the permissions systems is unfortunate, in aggregate. With x thousands of add-ons, bad stuff has happened, and is going to happen. Any improvement to the permissions which could mitigate that at least somewhat, would be nice.
I use Gentoo, so I am not against rebuild everything, but afaik unless you have static-libs USE flag for something, it's dynamically linked so relinking on rebuilding the dependency is enough, with static-libs the dependent package is also rebuilt
The US needs more DIY/small scale solar. I would even advocate "off-grid" DIY solar (no grid tie) and just use batteries as you may be able to avoid permitting and expensive install labor. You can easily get up and running for under $1k.

Right now, it seems any trade work is prohibitively expensive. I recently redid my own garage roof added mini split systems because costs for roofers and HVAC is out of control and finding quality work is hard. I called an electrician out to run the circuits and it was $$$. Next time I'll run the wires myself and just have them do the connections.
> It matters because you shouldn’t gaslight and lie to people. Articulate and intelligent people see through this, and it won’t help your cause.

My current task at my day job is analyzing a large amount of data stored in a Spark cluster. I'd say, so far, 80% of the job has been extracting data from the cluster so that I can work with it interactively with DuckDB.

I don't see how it's dishonest. The artist is transparent in his methodology, and the metaphor (engagement = treats) is clear. Either way, this is an art piece so it isn't subject to the same kinds of rigor or scrutiny of a scientific experiment.
This makes sense. Nginx is reliable and well-tested, and OLS is neither.
