One problem I've run into with the music services is with older styles. For example, I'm specifically into black musicians from the 1930s-1950s who played swing style music. I have yet to find a service that actually will play more than 2-3 songs in that style before deciding that what I really want to hear is rat pack or swing by white musicians. No matter how much I thumbs down it, I get Glenn Miller/Frank Sinatra/Benny Goodman instead of Count Basie/Duke Ellington/Slim Gaillard. The services have that music (I can find the songs and seed stations from it) but for whatever reason all of the ones I've tried (Spotify/Apple/Amazon/Pandora, and I have a feeling I've tried others and forgotten) just don't want me to listen to the style I'm looking for.
The variety in vocal distances in my home office are much greater. I have a nice sunny window to look out into the distance, and the outdoors are 10 steps away which I indulge in at least every couple hours.
1. Doesn't matter, the law is the law and you have to comply even if it's hard.
2. It already passed (the House) in a separate vote this year. It would have passed anyway. If anything, I would guess the Ukraine part of the package was the most controversial.
3. Absurd.
4. No evidence of this.
5. Perhaps, we don't really know the future. How is this a "fact"?
I saw an interview with Gabor Maté, who framed ADHD as a coping mechanism acquired during early development. He has some books on the topic, though I haven’t read them.

These days it seems trendy to have some mental health issues to deal with. While I don’t think people should be shamed for having real issues, I think people reaching for a diagnosis to gain acceptance with a peer group, or to get some pills to use as a study aid, is very problematic. Maybe some form of Munchausen syndrome.

Companies have divested in the past. You could look up some previous cases.
Also, previously on HN:

> Sundar Pichai, who previously worked at McKinsey — arguably the most morally abhorrent company that has ever existed, having played roles both in the 2008 financial crisis (where it encouraged banks to load up on debt and flawed mortgage-backed securities) and the ongoing opioid crisis, where it effectively advised Purdue Pharma on how to “growth hack” sales of Oxycontin.

I didn't use anything for DND, I wrote that all by hand. I used React, Pullstate for a state store, and PubSubJS. All of them are great to work with, although this was really, really pushing the limits of what React is made to accomodate. If you play Magic: The Gathering you can check it out by starting a mirror-match by yourself at "ca rd tav ern dot com" with the spaces removed (don't want this comment showing up in search results), but it would require you to make a deck since I haven't gotten around to adding default starter decks to new accounts yet. (The site was largely finished but never launched or shared.)
I appreciate Pixiv letting users set their preferred region and actually respecting that setting, unlike Twitter which ignores the user's "country" setting and do all ad targeting using GeoIP instead.
I think having one tree is a huge advantage. take the windows registry, on paper it sounds like a great idea. "lets make a single unified database to hold all config values" In reality, it sort of sucks. One of the reasons it is so unpleasant to use. Is that now you have another tree with different special access patterns and programs that are incompatible with your main tree(or trees in the case of windows).

I really like the plan 9 ethos here, which can be summed up as "does it vaguely look like a tree? if yes, put it in the file system". My favorite one was html "Hmmm... An html document is tree structured.... hey guys lets make our web browser a filesystem driver. (enthusiastic clapping)". Having said that, having no mainstream browser on plan9 is what usually keeps me from using it. I keep telling myself that avoiding the web drivel that requires a mainstream browser would make me a happier person, but I keep coming back for more.
I had the same initial reaction, but it turns out that if you have at least one private member, even with the same signature, it works as the parent comment suggests.

For example, these two classes are distinct to TypeScript:

class Name {
constructor(private value: string) {}

getValue() {
return this.value;
}
}

class Email {
constructor(private value: string) {}

getValue() {
return this.value;
}
}

const email: Email = new Name(“Tim”); // Error: (paraphrasing) conflicting private declaration of “value”.
Every site I know of in recent memory that has banned adult content, pretty much lost all their users. Not that there aren't a million sites for that kind of content already. They'll just find another site to post their doujins.
I think this just validates China’s social, cultural, and digital hegemony.

Banning (if you can call it that? Divesting?) a single product like this is a strange move. It’s using a shovel to clear the early crumbs of an avalanche.

I don’t think this is the right move. Yes, it threatens the monopolies that companies like Facebook have established. And let’s assume that Haidt is right and social media and the surrounding ecosystem is a cesspool of negativity being lunged at the youth. I still think that it’s in a way petulant and reactive to pass a bill for this. A foreign country is not responsible for our leaders having failed to nurture us into sensible adults who do not fall prey to these dark patterns and tactics. I will refrain from the angle that our leaders intentionally did not want us to be critical, independent thinkers to further their own agendas by treating us like lepers.
I'm the bane of any recommendation algorithm. They just give me random crap because nobody, not even me, can figure out my taste. I like a little bit of virtually everything, with no rhyme or reason.
I would not be surprised if the use of VPNs in China is not as prevalent as is often assumed. I knew a Chinese guy in his thirties who came to the US for a graduate program and he was excited to tell me of the websites he now had access to that he wasn't able to access on the Chinese web.
Wonder how the limiter is going to know what the current speed limit is? Map data, sign monitoring?

I was on a business trip to Korea years ago and had a friend / co-worker who was native Korean drive us around. He said there were certain sections of the highway where they keep track of your average speed and if it exceeds the limit for that section, you'd get fined. Not sure how the tracking works in that case, but I'd imagine it's probably something RFID related where you cross a checkpoint that keeps track of start time and an end checkpoint and calculates accordingly.
As someone who knows somebody that recently had a flight cancelled (then booked another flight at the same airport, only for that flight to get cancelled as well), it was very frustrating to hear that all the airlines in question would do is issue a voucher that expires in 3 months and requires the exact same people to travel alongside you (i.e. if you purchased a ticket for yourself and a relative, then the voucher only applies to flights where you and this exact same relative are boarding). It seems like a pretty blatant way for airlines to keep customer's money. Too bad this rule didn't come sooner.
I find it hard to believe you actually read the bill multiple times when you misstate a key aspect of it.
Parsing a URI should not be a straight pass to open(2) [or CreateFile in Windows parlance] to get to the filesystem directly anyway ... Think of the security problems with that, or URIs where they don't actually correspond to filesystem objects. So, IIS already needs to parse the path distinctly. I'm going to say it didn't cause them a lot of trouble.

Note also that Windows tends to use 16 bit Unicode everywhere, that's probably a bigger thing for IIS than the path separator.
They IPO'd in 2021.
Psychiatrist Peter Kramer writes about how the availability of a technological solution prompts us to see the problem everywhere - such as lithium for bipolar, Prozac for depression, Xanax for panic attacks, and now Adderall for ADHD. What problem is next that we find a solution for? I think it will be something for impulse control perhaps.
This will be used as a pretense to raise airline fares, and won't impact cancellation rates or average delay times.
US property owners enjoyed vast expanses of unexploited resources to tap and legally protected exploitation of whole classes of people to help them do so. I hope you are not claiming that that (limited) prosperity wasn't generated by wiser and more humane policies than today's.
It doesn't matter, but also that isn't the stated reasoning for the law.
Most of the time "common sense" is actually just stuff that was drummed in to us as kids because it's what the research of the time said. So yeah, you do need these studies, and then they become common sense later.

Navigate means make sure that the plane is flying somewhere safe (not into a cloud, mountain, etc) and figure out where you are geographically if possible, since that is going to be one of the first things they ask you on the radio. The reason they give that advice about communicate is that they are trying to make sure you maintain situational awareness, and a safe state of flight in an emergency. The advice is basically saying that whoever is on the radio can wait until you are ready to talk to them, and have handled all of the important bits.

My broader point is that getting the plane straight and level is far more important than the radio, and fiddling with the throttle is not the first step in any scenario that I can imagine.

The word is "blur." Low-pass filtering is blurring.

Is blurring good for compression? I don't know what that means. If the image size (not the file size) is held constant, a blurry image and a clear image take up exactly the same amount space in memory.

Blurring is bad for quality. Our vision is sensitive to high-frequency stuff, and low-pass filtering is by definition the indiscriminate removal of high-frequency information. Most compression schemes are smarter about the information they filter.

I think you’d have a hard time aligning the amount of the paycheques such that the puppets couldn’t get bigger expected future paycheques by doing what they wanted with tiktok.
For LLM stuff, one upside to “stealth” is you might obfuscate your GPU demand. Now that the GPU market knows there’s another player with over $200m to burn, the market is going to want to take every last penny of that funding.

Multiple targets is definitely the plan, and GLSL is my next priority. Metashade can currently generate HLSL for the DX12 version of https://github.com/ppenenko/glTFSample/tree/metashade_demo, and there's also a Vulkan version of that demo using GLSL. So implementing GLSL generation for that would be a great proof of concept and a test bed: HLSL and GLSL generated from single source and producing identical rendering results.

The diagram on slide 31 of my presentation shows how implementation is currently inherited between the Metashade packages. The future GLSL generators should inherit common functionality from the "rtsl" package, just like the existing HLSL generators. However, I expect heavy refactoring to be necessary because I was initially targeting just one language and so not all code is implemented at the appropriate level.

BTW, here's a poll where you can vote for a target language you'd like to see prioritized: https://github.com/ppenenko/metashade/discussions/17

Very little of the South China See is owned by China. China doesn't own it any more than Japan owns the Sea of Japan.
MS Mincho and MS Gothic (and many others including Meiryo) both use the Yen Sign (unicode 0xA5) character graphic for the Backslash character. There are also a few Japanese fonts (such as Sazanami Gothic) that don't do this.

The separate halfwidth yen sign does not exist in Shift-JIS at all. So any time a non-unicode Japanese Win32 application needs to draw a halfwidth yen sign, it must draw a backslash. And you can't make the official character mapping convert Backslash 0x5C into Yen sign 0xA5, otherwise all file paths would break.

Yes. All my therapists have referred me to meditation and explained to me that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy takes some influence from it.

There are tons of articles published in journals on it.

As for the quackery, that comes from attempts to discern objective truths. Traditional medicine is terrible for objective truths. But it shines in subjective experience.
Im concerned this represents a more general trend towards severing the small connections between countries formed on things like social networks, and that in doing so we’re opening ourselves up to a public that will be more supportive of useless war.

I don’t get the recent moral fight against adult content. Not just in terms of illustrations or graphical novels as described here, but also other recent developments like identity verification laws for porn, or laws against AI-generated content (like deepfakes). We all have imaginations. People fantasize about their partner, or celebrities, or someone they are interested in. It’s normal. It’s just thought and expression. So what is wrong with people sharing their real (pornographic) or fake (digital) version of all this? On deepfakes or generative content, I can see it being misleading or defamatory perhaps, but if it is explicitly marked as content that is not real, is it really a bad thing or a problem? I feel like it’s just someone’s thoughts but in shareable form. What makes it different from artistic expression or satire, really? Isn’t ALL of this just the same old moralistic outrage?

One interesting part of this article is where it mentions the Miller Test, and it links to this page about US laws on obscenity - which to me mostly seem to be violations of constitutional rights on free speech and expression:

That reminds me of some thinking I did regarding the primordial gods one finds across many cultures: The penis and vagina symbolism, the first physical objects representing ontology as building blocks.

From there, we spatialize and logicize concepts like "mine," "like me," "unlike me," "other," "in front," "back," and "forward."

Additionally, at the risk of igniting flames, I find it interesting to ponder the significance of gender in the current zeitgeist. Could attacking gender at a political level be a form of assault on sense-making, tugging at the roots of ontological logic centers in the brain? Might this destabilize civilization centers deemed as enemies by some? Feels like the right exploit from a hacker mentality.

There aren't 6 listed countries in the bill are there? Not sure if I'm misreading. Seems like it links to another code for the countries (source: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/815/...) which lists four countries, of which China is one (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/4872)
This isn't about making anything "better for society", this is about nation state power games.

That's why there's been no movement on data privacy legislation in 15+ years: because it would hobble a heavily US-centric profitable industry (with the side benefit that the data can be mined by US law enforcement and intelligence - which is directly the problem the US government has with TikTok / China)
It’s been a decade at least since I heavily used Pandora but I remember it being even worse than Spotify at this. The algorithm seemed to latch on to one or two tracks from any given artist and they’d continue popping up no matter how I trained it. Great as a discovery tool for artists I guess, but as endless radio Spotify does a way better job at least trying to reach into back catalogs and including more than one or two songs. There’s still a lot of room for improvement, and it does seem to get hung up in similar ways.

Maybe Pandora has improved since.
Hey that's me! Thanks!

I finished the new, bigger, better one a few months ago. (The old one was actually very small -- photo angles are deceiving.) Not published on the internet yet, maybe later this year...

Recently held my 28th Annual New Year's Eve LAN Party, as well as a big party around the solar eclipse (we had totality at the house). Both were attended by some of the same friends as the first one (and many new friends obviously). Gonna keep doing this for a long time, it's so much more fun having everyone in person vs. over the internet.

Just hope my kids don't decide they hate video games...

If "it" is referring to the LLM then the statement is correct.

It could have used both maybe? "...and then berthed in the present"

> What is the nature of the risk?

The risk is information warfare. It's difficult to know whether they've used it for that purpose yet, because there's a lack of transparency, which is actually part of the problem. But regardless, the risk is unacceptable, especially if the Taiwan or Philippines/Vietnam situations boil over. There's no historical precedent of a rival having such massive control over domestic consumption of information. The one thing we do know from the history of conflict is that all available tools will get used for that purpose (e.g. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C8197).
