My biology teacher theorized that the reason humans survived over all hominids is our aggression. We are so aggressive that any threat is met with the complete destruction of the aggressor. We kill first and ask questions later. Add the ability to work in groups and there's nothing that can beat us as a species. Well, except ourselves. We are going to be the creators of our own demise.

Otto currently specializes in focused (yet complex) TypeScript problems, but I plan to expand its capabilities after gathering more feedback and deciding what the next most valuable addition would be.
After watching the video demo and logging in, I was able to compose and edit text easily. Nice job.

My own use case is a bit different from many others who have commented here. I'm a reasonably fast typist and don't currently have any physical or neurological issues that might make typing difficult. I have tried voice input methods a number of times over the years, as I thought speaking would be faster than typing, but I always went back to typing due to accuracy problems and difficulty editing.

Aqua Voice does seem to be a significant advance. I'm going to try it out from time to time to see if I can get comfortable with voice input. If I can, I will subscribe.

I drafted this comment using Aqua Voice, but I ended up editing it quite a bit with a keyboard before posting.

Hard disagree. ORM's tend to cater to the lowest common denominator functionality of relational databases so if you want to for instance, make use of jsonb in postgres, you have to use weird workarounds or drop into SQL anyways.

SQL is a high level, declarative language. You need to use good libraries that ensure queries can be safely composed and arguments passed, but you are not automatically "making a mess" if you're writing SQL unless you or your tooling is incompetent.

Personally, I really like Dapper (C#) as it solves the "object mapping" and "query composition" cases in a performant and ergonomic way while letting me write the (exact) query I want.
Yeh, I guess I'm used to that in pretty much all software with Debian - you're almost never going to get the bleeding edge unless you're compiling from source.

I generally kind of see this as a good thing, in that you can assume (or at least, hope) you're getting some extra stability because of this, but it's just as often frustrating when you're missing some key feature that came out a couple years ago because the repo version is old.
This is so incredibly narcissistic and mercantile. Being a grown up means you understand that you're not owed any gifts and that when somebody makes you a gift it is mainly for their pleasure and something to be grateful for, that they thought of you.

These kind of people who think receiving gifts is some kind of entitlement are the same kind of people who start bringing up their diets when you invite them for dinner. Cold, calculating, reptilian. No human emotion or joy of life.

Sort of random G7 and C chords, with C / Eb7 in the turnaround.

Should either be G7 all the way through (on the lead sheet) to the turnaround which is

D7+9 | / | Eb7#9 | D7#9 | G7 | / / D7#9 |

Pretty safe bet that no AI will be able to do G7. But it should at least do:

|: G7 / C | Dm7 / C :] &c.

I'm guessing it isn't going to do anything past a 7 chord, so C7#9 is probably not going to happen. Which probably makes it unusable for jazz. :-(
When I was finishing high school I was introduced to an interest in programming through finding the limits of a composition applet on my Nokia (which was probably a 6300 but I'm away from home and unable to check).

I know this is an unrelated tangent but does anybody have any links that talk about the one or more of the composition apps or applets for smartphones or feature phones from that time period? Symbian, early versions of iOS, J2ME, I'll happily take anything on offer.

See also my other comments. The device is tillitis TKey. There is a True RNG (source of entropy) but not recommended, i.e. not cryptographically-secure. However, together with Blake2s (in firmware) or another hash-function, you can at least approximate a source of reasonably secure randomness. Needs to be part of the your user program (to be loaded onto TKey), so you can make this as complicated as you like. You can indeed use the input-data as entropy/seed-bytes and hash it with other data and entropy from TRNG.

I haven't tested yet how fast the TRNG refreshes. Right now, I take 4 bytes (1 collection) of TRNG entropy to be hashed with a static byte-buffer.

The RNG would be used for (sk_device,pk_device). So 'identity' keypair for authn, 'device' (ephemeral) keypair for key-exchange.

Or to the whole of impressionism in music?

"In 1912, the French composer Ernest Fanelli (1860–1917) received significant attention and coverage in the Parisian press following a performance of a symphonic poem he wrote in 1886, titled Thèbes, incorporating elements associated with Impressionism, such as extended chords and whole-tone scales.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressionism_in_music

Writing in 1958, the critic Rudolph Reti summarised six features of Debussy's music, which he asserted "established a new concept of tonality in European music": the frequent use of lengthy pedal points – "not merely bass pedals in the actual sense of the term, but sustained 'pedals' in any voice"; glittering passages and webs of figurations which distract from occasional absence of tonality; frequent use of parallel chords which are "in essence not harmonies at all, but rather 'chordal melodies', enriched unisons", described by some writers as non-functional harmonies; bitonality, or at least bitonal chords; use of the whole-tone and pentatonic scales; and unprepared modulations, "without any harmonic bridge". Reti concludes that Debussy's achievement was the synthesis of monophonic based "melodic tonality" with harmonies, albeit different from those of "harmonic tonality".

I would be really interested to understand the efficiency of this learning vs a more traditional approach. If you have two models - ChessGPT and a traditional chess-playing ML model - and train them on the same number of games, which reaches a higher level of chess-playing skill?

The C version is in C because it needs to be portable and so there can be a baseline to find bugs in the other implementations.

The other ones aren't in asm merely because video codecs are "performance sensitive", it's because they're run in such specific contexts that optimizations work that can't be expressed portably in C+intrinsics across the supported compilers and OSes.
I once went to a large professional building attached to a hospital because I lost my voice and I wanted to see a doctor, any doctor, on any time frame. They said the only thing they could do is send me to the ER. These days, I would go to a walk-in clinic like Carbon Health or One Medical I guess, if I was in an American city away from home, without my own doctor. But I find it hard to blame anybody who goes to the ER for "just a cough" since I know the system won't do anything else for them.

The reason is loki's fallacy is a fallacy for a reason.

For legal purposes we simply have to pick a line.

But regardless if the exact location of that line is arbitrary, it is still useful none the less.

There is no real issue with having an arbitrary line, if it is impractical to not have an arbitrary line, and useful none the less.

To give more obvious examples, we can take the drinking age, or the age of consent. Those line are arbitrary, but are still useful none the less.

Exactly this. It's unfortunate that in the United States today, my initial reaction to new law is: "what money is behind this".

I get that Verifpal is not perfect, doesn't do everything. I have considered switching. However, a significant part of proving the mechanism is having correct definitions for all of the needed primitives. If Verifpal tackles the right, correct definitions of the primitives, that is already a significant step, right? Considering the protocol is not complicated, or trying to be, one might try a less complex solution to start with.

I worked as a dev at a startup building a competing online memorial product. We were small enough that moderation was split among the team, so I did a fair bit. I'd agree with the author here that violent or horrible content was rare, but when it did come through it always stuck in your mind. I'd always be surprised how someone could harbour such incredible hate against a dead person that they'd want to bestow it further onto their grieving loved ones. Overall, there was always at least an equal amount of incredibly deep and touching comments though. If I'm honest the things that were always the most sad to me were the memorials with no comments at all and an obituary that said not much more than that there would be no service.

Oh, that’s not a Podman issue - the Debian world is like RHEL I’m being conservative about major version upgrades. They’re still shipping Python 3.10 and 3.11, too, despite 3.12 having been released and 3.13 waiting in the wings.

The build from source instructions work and you can easily maintain your own back ports / PPAs for things like that as the standard mechanism for major upgrades which the core distribution doesn’t want to commit to supporting. Usually you can simply take the updated package definition from the unstable repository and build that, and a quick search suggests many people are doing just that.
I am watching and using RedwoodJS since its early beginning and it never disappointed me. A few highlights:

- Besides high quality code, it also provides one of the very best technical documentation set.

- The core team and management consistently demonstrate patience needed to deliver a world class software.

- I concur with keithtelliott that "to be simple and approachable enough for use in prototypes and hackathons" is one of the RedwoodJS strongest suits.

I like the article, but I am not sure that I agree with the terminology: I would not call "buffering" a form of back pressure. Imho there is really only one type of back pressure: the one the author calls "control". The other 2 are just ways to "release" pressure.

Even with the government funded healthcare here in Spain people don't spend thousands a month in taxes. In fact very few people pay that much anyway.

To double down: chattel slavery, the expansion west by conquest, a civil war, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Jim Crow and Japanese internment camps are not the ingredients of a cohesive society. The fault lines in American society were not imposed from the outside. There was never a point when the US was egalitarian in practice.
Life on earth was healthier before we enslaved other animals (not the symbiotic relationships with early canids, but when we started hanging and penning) and generally started using extra-human energy sources to do things for us.

I've been watching recent Nature episodes on PBS with my family (as I did in childhood, too), and the other primates, let's just say the lowland gorillas, lead enviable lives without deforesting or otherwise spoiling their home (we're doing that, sadly). We could lead meaningful, engaging lives following the old ways again, and everything we used and made would either decompose safely back into the environment or stay awhile longer as landmarks (earthworks and shaped stones, for example). I don't know how most of the HN participants think about this, but judging by the new and popular topics we as a subgroup aren't putting much effort into activism towards a seasonally-nomadic hunter-gatherer culture.

How exactly am I not putting myself on Junio's shoes?

If I were him I would do what's best for the project, not what's best for my ego. If I were wrong about a patch, I would simply admit I was wrong, and apply the patch. That's what every maintainer should do.

There's a difference between using authority in a way that moves the project forward and *abusing* authority to protect one's ego.

Junio does the latter.

Thank you for sharing that - it seems to be the rule that everyone I've talked to who has the surgery recommends it, though I have not known anyone who had it done in their 30's. My understanding is that ages are averaging down for a few reasons. I had a co-worker who had it done in his early 40's back at a time when that was nearly unheard of. He wore it out after 22 years but also had a successful revision. That was before ceramics or newer plastics so there's reason to believe that the current ones might last much longer, but it is still daunting facing the prospects of multiple surgeries; something I'm sure you must have grappled with.

So the money goes to a different more diverse set of corporations now but as a side effect retailers can chose to not accept transactions from some types of credit cards from $x bank while still accepting those of that type from $y bank.

This may be one of the rare instances where regulation is not a bad thing.

Social media, especially the recent evolution with shorts, reels and tik-tok, are destroying young minds (and older too).

I'm pretty sure there are millions of people who try to limit their consumption of social media, without any luck - it's just too addictive. If one was able to make a decision - to completely ban for example tik-tok (like make it disappear forever) my feeling is that many people would decide yes. As this is obviously not possible, we all struggle with the overall negative impact.

Majority of people in the US don't pay thousands a month in healthcare/insurance either. Really premium, high-end health insurance plans can exceed $1K monthly for families, yes, but regular plans don't. In addition, for employer-based health insurance, the individual often pays only a small portion of the total monthly premium (1/3 is common, but varies).

> I'm glad we just cover this through the state here.

You mean you cover this through your taxes. The state does not just literally or figuratively print money to pay for health care. In the US, over 40% of the population pays $0 income taxes, yet still has access to government provided healthcare via Medicaid.

In fact, when you combine Medicaid and Medicare, the US has the largest national healthcare system in the world - in terms of dollars spent and people covered.

How to Recover Apple macOS Recovery
I'm an Oregon resident.

I disagree to an extent. Oregons drug decriminalization failed because of a few reasons that are plain to see:

- The people who wrote the measure did not prescribe how it should be done, just what it should achieve.

- The measure demanded changes be immediate, which didn't jive with a very slow running, heavy bureaucracy like Oregons government. More importantly, time was not given for the social services pipelines to fill with cash and plans.

- The law did not also ban public drug use, it depended on the legislature doing this - which they never did. This was the big tipping point. You don't forget the smell of meth or fent, especially outside your grocery store or kids school.

This was a master class in when head in the clouds thinking meets legislative elites who are outright insulted when the people flex their voice.

I do think we'll revisit this again in the future, but hopefully next time we at least ban public drug use.
