The interesting thing to me is that the timbre controls seem to have been intended to modify the instrument while it is sounding. An organist can do this by pulling stops, and is similar to setting patches on a Moog, but generally, you play the pitches with both hands and pause to change settings.

I wonder if this was done simply to aid the prototyping, or if the intention was that the performer would be changing the timber during the performance, while the instrument is sounding. This seems to be the effect you hear with the klaxon sound changing into a grunty, nasal timbre at the beginning of the Sackbut Blues.

My guess is that it was a prototyping convenience, but it would seem to have big implications for how the instrument is used in performance. A composer writing for it would have to think about mutable timbre not dissimilarly to planning pedal changes for a harp or even thinking about double-stops on string instruments -- there are practical limitations of the performer and instrument that has to be considered.

That actually makes the music a bit more interesting to me than an early 20th-century ideal of "liberating" music from the confines of catgut and sloppy wet wood and metal.

Ask HN: What does "vast majority" mean to you?
I see this phrase a lot. For me, it roughly equates to > 98%. However, for some I could imagine it meaning > 99.9% or perhaps much lower like > 85%. Or, even worse, is context dependent (the vast majority of pop bottles in the pop machine did not contain pure hydrochloric acid).

I kind of feel it is a cop out on the part of the person using the phrase as is conveys a quantitative value with actually specifying it. It is a lot harder to commit to writing down a concrete number as then the reader expects a reference or more information to back it up. "vast majority" just kind of slips into the brain unexamined.

That's great to hear! The clustered index sounds really cool. Especially since SQLite tells you about ORDER BYs in xBestIndex (with the nOrderBy[0]), so it would be super cool to have super-fast ORDER BYs with those.

Very interested to see how xFindFunction works for you. One limitation I've found is that you don't know if a user uses a xFindFunction inside of xBestIndex (ie at query time), unless 1) it's part of a WHERE clause and 2) only two arguments are provided, the first being a column value and the 2nd any literal. I've found this limiting in the past, only having 1 argument to work with in that narrow case. But I'm sure there's clever tricks there!

One trick I've noticed: You can kindof detect a COUNT(*) with the `colUsed` field in xBestIndex. In that case, `colUsed` will be 0 (ie 0 columns are requested), so you can use that as a signal to just iterate over N times instead of accessing the underlying data. Still slow, but you can probably do something like ~1 million/sec, but better than accessing the data that many times!

I'm a big LISP fan. Clojure syntax is my favorite, but Common lisp's ability to compile to native AND be interpreted is so damn impressive.

Over the years I've toyed with running uLisp running on microcontrollers. There has been some work to add macros, and the running of assembly...so of course the next step would be to write a small compiler that can output RISKV and Arm thumb assembler so that I can reproduce the Genera LISP machine on and esp32 or teensy 4.0 driven handheld computer. That's the dream at least.

> As a side note, why does compiling Linux have to be so... obtuse? It just stops for me after several minutes of building out objects with no explanation.

The Linux kernel compilation scripts use the lowest-common-denominator toolset: make/sed/awk. It would be awesome to rewrite them to use Python or some other higher-level language, but then it wouldn't run on a Japanese supercomputer built in 1986 and long-ago mothballed, and you never know when you'll need that!
Love him or hate him, Zuck keeps defying the doubters. Even as far back as the IPO he was dismissed for his youth. Meta/Facebook was dismissed as a fad or the next myspace. He knew Meta needed to be streamlined, and he achieved this.

Ask HN: Immutable DBs like Datomic or DBs with similar features outside Clojure?
Event-sourced DBs, let's say, in Ruby or JS. I really like Datomic's features but it isn't the most approchable, even though I also have a preference for Clojure.

Is there any DB or combination of DBs that would function in a similar fashion?

About a decade ago, when facebook(after IPOing at 38) came down to 20, I was in a bus speaking with a friend about buying a bit and holding it forever(like Buffet). He laughed at me. A lot of folks in the bus gave me strange looks.

So far it has been the best decision(investment wise) for me.

The only effort I did was to read their IPO prospectus and the latest 10q(at that time).

> ...not trying to prevent the use of the term. I don't even understand how it's not obvious.

The post says it's just an excuse to crack down on free speech, suggesting that it has no validity as an actual idea, that the term itself is invalid. Arguing that a term is always wrong is surely an attempt to prevent the use of that term.

What's more important to free speech.., that people can use the term "stochastic terrorism" to describe a tweet where they think it fits, or that people should not have to be subjected to having their tweets called "stochastic terrorism"?

To me, it's pretty clear: if you're trying to police language, you shouldn't be using free speech as the justification for that.

For those who don't get (the whole) reference, Mike Masnick, who founded and heads Techdirt, is the original coiner of the term "Streisand effect".

He's also been legally targeted by those who want to silence critical coverage of their behaviour before, and received an EFF Pioneer Award in 2017 for his journalistic work (though he joked at the time "The sort of obvious interpretation to me is that this is an award for getting sued"). I don't know whether his acceptance speech is online somewhere but I remember it being a vivid description of the pressure legal threats have on people and businesses, even when they are ultimately dismissed.

I found the article convoluted.
In 2011 after selling my company to Goog a salesperson from Goldman called me trying to sell me pre IPO Facebook stock. I told him I think FB is s fad, and given that he works for Goldman, they wouldn't sell it if they thought it had value.

I was not a good investor back then.

This was the late 1930's so quite long ago. Pretty much every bank now has policies that would cause them to seriously object to a roof shingle being used as a check. So not illegal - just very unlikely to be accepted.

Could you create your own paper checks? I think you can, as long as it looks/feels like a check and has all the info on it in the correct places. You don't have to use any security features to prevent check washing (but it's a good idea). You don't even need the magnetic ink, as the check will be optically scanned, with hand-processing as a fallback (they will attach a MICR correction strip).

Random thought I just had: What are the odds of a rocket launch crossing through one of these laser links on its way to a higher orbit and disrupting traffic for a fraction of a second?

I know space is really big and so the odds of a rocket hitting a satellite on its way up are incredibly low, but now we're talking about lots of lines between each satellite rather than just the satellites themselves. Are the odds still tiny?

Not that it would be a big deal if it happened, just curiosity.

What's more surprising is that they trust you to setup adhoc ssh connections to arbitrary endpoints; unless you're the person in charge of network security?

> Origin Private FileSystem

Question that is both on and off topic. Is the Origin Private FileSystem permanent on Safari?

Apple released an update a few years ago the cleared the contents of localStorage and indexeddb for an origin if the user hadn't visited in 14 days.

This makes it hard for purely offline PWAs to store data offline.

e.g. I wrote an offline only exercise tracker PWA (akin to "Strong" on Android) that used indexeddb to keep records and required no account. The 14 day policy makes it basically DOA for iOS clients.

Is the OPFS a viable alternative?
Just the already known side effects (can cause blindness, for example) can be scary, and the actual main effect - effectively reducing insulin levels - has weight loss as side effect - and the way it happens in otherwise healthy people is that (gross simplification) it reduces your ability to turn what you have consumed into energy, forcing the organism to dig more into stored supplies and preventing creation of more reserves.

So it can easily cause all sorts of fun things like hypoglycemia, cause you to randomly collapse, etc.
Well, it is there if that is what you want. But, not everyone wants such a thing like that, and you should not expect everyone to want that, please.
I was going to disagree, but after experimentation it seems like the non-LLM search in google maps already does a pretty good job of handling vague searches more complicated than keyword matching

I imagine searching "place to hangout downtown that is vegan and dog friendly" is not going to return the results you're hoping for.

We atheists believe things. We just don't believe in gods.

Some people use "nihilism" to mean belief in nothing, but there are self-proclaimed nihilists who are offended at that.
At the most basic level, for the feature that bypasses the search results and takes the user to the page they probably want, my first thought was that they just reinvented the “I’m feeling lucky” button.
