I would like to take this opportunity to ask others:

- What services do you use for lossless music streaming?

- When you have a FLAC file, how do you listen to it in an Android phone or a Linux/Windows machine? Which apps/softwares? And does headphone/speaker quality make a difference- or is it bottlenecked by the audio card of the PC/phone?

I am a noob, and would like the answers, along with some good pointers, if possible.

My assumption is that they connected to production to run their local environment against production to debug something. They needed the data. Snaplet can capture a small subset of data related to a particular user, and remove the private information, which they can restore on their local machine.

Does that make sense?

Fantastic blog post, thank you for this. I am not even familiar with transformers, yet the explanation is stellar clear to me, and the included references and context are a trasure trove. The explanation of FlashAttention is the best I have seen, and that is not even the focus of the article.

One question I have on selectivity: footnote 4 says "the continuous A is constant, while our discretization parameter ∆ is input-dependent." What is the effect of varying the discretization instead of the (main, as I understand it) state A? My gut says it simplifies training and provides stability, but I feel A carries most of the behavior of the model, so it should have more wiggle room throughout training.

People are still using Windows 7 -- it's the third most popular Windows version after 10 and 11 -- and it only supports Unicode 5.1.

Emoji weren't officially supported until Unicode 6.0, though there are a subset of current emoji (less than a quarter) that work on Windows 7 in practice.

Meanwhile the current standard is 15.1.

There's no security or convenience necessity whatsoever for supporting emoji in passwords, but inconsistent OS support is an excellent reason against it.

I know this is controversial but personally, Spotify Premium is already hifi. I simply cannot hear the difference between 320kbit/s and higher bitrates. I have high-end audio equipment at home, a decent DAC, etc...once I go beyond Spotify Free's 160kbps I truly can't hear the difference.

I'm not calling anyone a liar, I'm sure some folks can. But I think it's worth considering how important "hifi" bitrates are to you beyond a bigger number.

Again, this is a bad analogy. Having a driver's license isn't linked to adverse health effects.

I am not sure why people always go down these weird avenues to try to justify their convictions. If what you believe you think is right (presumably why you believe it) then you should be able to argue your position on the merits rather than trying to sneak in why your position is correct by relating it to something more anodyne as justification.

The original argument was that the vaccine was like walking around a city and we don't educate people on the adverse side effects or risks of walking around a city. This is bad because people can choose to live in cities or not - whether or not you'll have the same employment prospects or whatever, you do not have to participate in city life. Now you're trying to make the argument that we put restrictions on society based on holding some sort of identification. I'm willing to bet society would look at those restrictions differently if the mere act of getting an driver's license carried the risk of cardiovascular complications (as alleged by this report).

Restrictions on society based on having identification =/= restrictions on society based on your covid vaccination status.

Vaccination risk awareness =/= pedestrian safety awareness.

Presumably, you believe the benefits of the vaccine greatly outweigh any risks, so why are you opposed to people being explained the risk before they get the vaccine? If you believe that the benefits outweigh the risks, why are you incapable of arguing that position? Why make a contrived argument that its like getting a drivers license or walking around a city when its patently not?
It’s only a frenzy because the news is focused on the stock. If you look at stock like Meta and Netflix they also have a jet engine at full blast just a few months back, and it was just passing news. This is how a stock goes up more, it also helps NVidia because they can raise more money if he choose and attract Fomo into their products.

The massive demand is priced in as Jenson indicated, it’s now a bet on how much more past the next quarter.

Made me think of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen

> In the letter, he gave the names of three KGB agents secretly working for the FBI: Boris Yuzhin, Valery Martynov, and Sergei Motorin ... Hanssen was recalled yet again to Washington, D.C., in 1987. He was tasked with studying all known and rumored penetrations of the FBI to find the man who had betrayed Martynov and Motorin; this meant, in effect, that he was charged with searching for himself.
Better for memory doesn't necessarily mean better for recall. I think if high fidelity recall is your goal, it is best to assume your memory is flawed, and create artifacts to account for that. The product of writing by hand is useful, but relatively clumsy next to a lot of computer-based note taking systems. Hyperlinking and backlinking are gold when it comes to note recall, and you can't really get that with handwritten notes.
Do mean that you forget? Or don't want to?

Satoshi having the foresight and discipline to take careful measures that would enable him to keep his identity secret, and succeeding to do so up to this point is almost more impressive achievement of his technical skills than bitcoin.

Even back in 2009, it was difficult (impossible?) to operate online without leaving tons of digital footprint, and we can guess that for sure state-backed actors tried to identify him and probably failed. Unless of course he was a state-backed actor(s).
I just looked at Eaton's website. They recommended two companies near me that carry their products: one doesn't have a website (it's not a retail address, maybe just some random person's home), the other's website has lorem ipsum text on their Eaton partnership page, and their shopping site has no Eaton products at all.

So, yeah, it's understandable why people might not be buying Eaton.

- radial menu below the cursor

- two arrows at the same time for different action

- properly visible preview.

I have high hopes to live happily ever after with Loop.

yup, agree, also looking how Len writes, he is definitely not Satoshi. You can see on his twitter(Len) - https://twitter.com/lensassaman that he is quite punctual, ie. sentences end with periods, quotation is accurate. What gives it away is every sentence he writes on twitter is one space after the period, Satoshi is 2 spaces every single time. Also seeing the same thing for Hal Finney(https://twitter.com/halfin), so my deduction is neither of them is Satoshi.
Longtime Spotify user here. I was part of the beta all the way back in 2013. I switched to Apple Music this year alongside an app that syncs the daily playlists with Apple Music.

I feel like as time goes on, the Apple Music playlist recommendations are getting better and better, but what kept me with Apple Music was actually the integrate with Sonos. I have the Arc, Sub and 2 Era 500s, and the spatial audio tracks are incredible. It reminds me of a time I used to just sit back and listen to music in my room as a kid, always discovering something new about a track that I never really hear.

I also see a lot of unflagged links to X on HN that show the login prompt beneath them, just like this one might show it, but it’s beneath the post on X.

So I have to conclude that the reason for flagging my post might be a different one, but there is indeed a stipulations in the FAQ that you could base your flagging on. So you have the moral excuse to flag it, but don’t necessarily have the moral upper ground, because the post is entirely visible without logging in and there are cases of many unflagged links to X.
For years I've had this impression that Intel CPUs were, to put it simply, trying too hard. I administer servers for various companies, and some use Intel even though I generally recommend AMD or non-x86.

A pattern I've noticed is that some of the AMD systems I administer have never crashed or panicked. Several are almost ten years old and have had years of continuous uptime. Some have had panics that've been related to failing hardware (bad memory, storage, power supply), but none has become unstable without the underlying cause eventually being discovered.

Intel systems, on the other hand, have had panics that just have had no explanation, have had no underlying hardware failures, and have had no discernible patterns. Multiple systems, running an OS and software that was bit-for-bit identical to what has been running on AMD systems, have panicked. Whereas some of the AMD systems that had bad memory had consumer motherboards with non-ECC memory, the Intel systems have typically been Supermicro or Dell "server" systems with ECC.

In one case two identical Supermicro Xeon D systems with ECC were paired with two identical Steamroller (pre-Ryzen) AMD systems. All systems provided primary and backup NAT, routing, firewalling, DNS, et cetera. The Xeon systems were put in place after the AMD systems because certain people wanted "server grade" hardware, which is understandable, and low power AMD server systems weren't a thing in that time period. Over the course of several years, the Xeon systems had random panics, whereas one of the AMD systems had a failed SSD, but no unplanned or unexplained panic or outage, and the other had never had a panic or unplanned reboot in all the years it was in continuous service.

Had I collected information more deliberately from the very beginning of these side-by-side AMD and Intel installations, I'd have something more than anecdotal, but I'm comfortable calling the conclusion real: multiple generations of Intel systems, even with server hardware and ECC, have issues with random crashes and panics, on the order of perhaps one every year or two. I do not see a similar instability on AMD, though.

With brand new Intel CPUs taking substantially more power than similarly performing AMD CPUs, we have a more literal example of what I think is the underlying cause: Intel is trying way too hard to get every tiny bit of performance out of their CPUs, often to the detriment of the overall balance of the system. Between the not insignificantly higher number of CPU vulnerabilities on Intel due to shortcuts illustrated by the performance losses from enabling mitigations, and the rather shocking power draw of stock Intel CPUs that have turbo boosting enabled, I can't recommend any Intel system for any use where stability matters.
I document as I code all the time. It is immensely helpful. As I write the signature I add a few lines saying what the function will do and often it results in me slightly modifying the function because I realize a better way.
FedEx is trash but this kind of handling of these kinds of communications is so common it's disgusting. I say it all of the time too. "No wonder people get scammed."

It's absurd.

There are a few city-wide regulations in Scotland that prohibit it, possibly in other parts of the UK as well, but there's indeed no such national law.
People wishing to try experiencing the pleasure of fountain pens but avoid it because they are afraid of going down a rabbit hole can use the following: get one Platinum Preppy pen with black ink and either Medium (if you like thick, felt pen like lines), Fine (comparable to a regular ballpoint), or Extra Fine (if you keep your pencils extra sharp or normally use .38 or smaller pens) for $10 or less, and any notepad made in Vietnam for less than $5 at Walmart/CVS/Michaels/Amazon/etc. You don’t need to read any product reviews to try this out for around $15.

Why I recommend it this way: I enjoy pens and have done illustration and calligraphy professionally but the Preppy has essentially replaced my other pens except when I specifically want something special. Writing with it still feels special, mind, but to enjoy things you also shouldn’t be afraid of damaging or losing something precious, nor should you miss a day of writing because you didn’t want to carry some fancy instrument in your hoodie pocket or whatever. As for the pads, fountain pens are wet compared to other types and some paper will make it impossible to use or enjoy. Vietnamese paper is cheap, available, and known to work well for this.

I always take inspiration from this quote, both when times are good and when times are bad. When programming is easy, ah how just like glorious poetry it can feel. Natural and easy. When programming is hard, boy what exertion it can take to wrangle thoughts and ideas. Writing poetry when the creativity isn’t there, whatever it is, is just torturous.

There's a lot implied in that quoted sentence that I didn't expand on.

The point more broadly is that if our society is willing to accept alcohol as a recreational substance with downsides, and more generally the idea that consuming recreational substances shouldn't be a criminal act, it makes no sense to send people to prison for consuming a substance that seems far less harmful in general.

> ...while a ban is not realistic due to its established role in society. This doesn't imply cannabis should have been legalized.

I disagree. Prior to legalization, cannabis already had an established role in society and saw widespread use. The primary difference between it and alcohol is that we sent people to prison for one, and didn't for the other, while also accepting the statistical reality that alcohol seems generally far more harmful. More harmful in terms of individual health outcomes and the downsides of becoming an addicted user, and more harmful to others around those who use it, e.g. deaths caused by drunk drivers, domestic abuse fueled by alcoholism, etc.

At least in the US (not sure about the climate in Germany), the reality was that cannabis use was already widespread, and that people's lives were routinely ruined for using it despite their use causing no harm to others. All while problematic use of alcohol routinely resulted in what are effectively slaps on the wrist, even when people routinely put other people at risk while driving under the influence.

It's against this backdrop that I'm comparing the two. Both were already pervasive. The difference in policy between the two made no sense.

And this is all before considering the clear upsides to cannabis. The medicinal applications are real, and have enabled people to live better lives without the downsides of the other widely prescribed pharmaceutical options.

Altering our mental states by consuming substances seems like a deeply human thing (in addition to be observed in other species), and is deeply embedded in us. I think there are very good reasons to ban some substances for the sake of public health. But I don't think a default stance against mind alteration is a good one either.
We also regularly run into hardware issues with Zstd. Often the decompressor is the first thing to interact with data coming over the network. Or like in this case the decompressor is generally very sensitive to bit-flips, with or without checksumming enabled, so notices other hardware problems more than other processes running on the same host.

One decision that Zstd made was to include only a checksum of the original data. This is sufficient to ensure data integrity. But, it makes it harder to rule out the decompressor as the source of the corruption, because you can't determine if the compressed data is corrupt.
Very glad to see EFF put this out there. We’re just some of the people who saw the problem coming before others. Now others are catching up.

Hi HN :)

I posted my idea a few days ago here - and it got roasted like crazy. You see I am trying to help early-stage companies grow their business using social media listening.

My original idea was a bot that would automatically reply to relevant conversations on social media. But many ppl here raised concerns about it being unethical.

So we made changes - making reply just one click away.

I think this will be a very cool and cost-effective way to get the word around without steep marketing costs.

If you are interested in the product, I would appreciate it if you joined the wait list and further shared the link with relevant parties.

Early joiners will get a 30-day free trial.

Really wish this existed in the 90's when my family moved to the US from eastern europe. A non-exhaustive list of scams my parents fell for:

- Investing money in a friend's company - this was the most painful as it was perpetuated by our family members who lived here for a while that we trusted

- Rainbow vacuum cleaner

- Aqualife water filter

- Hiring someone to take us to another city to buy a car to "help get a good deal" - turned out he was working for the seller, and it was not a good deal at all

- A summer job for me selling Vector cutlery

Unfortunately it's easy to scam new immigrants, this happened for hundred years and still happening now.
