I'm simply a bit baffled at someone meeting a comment saying essentially "this is disputed, here's a collection of specific critiques" would be met with "you didn't provide any specific critiques".

I found the article easy to skim, with well-linked sources throughout. Again, it already contained exactly what you were asking for.
Mostly instrumental music for me, e.g jazz or progressive rock. I'm aware that's a smaller niche, typically only understood by musicians or enthusiasts.

When going on trip with family or friends, of course I won't play any King Crimson or Mahavishnu Orchestra tracks.

Of course if I'm in the mood for singing, playing Beatles tracks is a mostly safe guarantee it can be understood by teenagers and old grand pas/mas.

>Different person here, but I wish there was a terminal where mouse clicks moved the text cursor (without holding any hotkey)

Umm, This is a `feature` in Konsole that I ___HATE___. I'd have a file open in vim that I'm editing. I'd also have a browser window open and I'm trying to copy text over to my terminal.

Well, wherever you click in the terminal window to 'activate' it for pasting, causes the active line to jump to that place regardless of where your cursor was before. IT'S HORRIBLE!!

I'd much rather click on the window, then ctrl-v to paste my clipboard. Now I have to be extra careful and just click on the windows decoration/header, or frame. This has caused me dozens of missed-pastes.
And 99% of these are in landfills somewhere, you are seeing one preserved example. It's a survivorship bias in its full glory.
Sure, but that's part of a much broader issue that predates AI by at least two millennia, probably much longer — the principal-agent problem.
This reminded me of the following story from John Cage:

When I asked Schoenberg to teach me, he said, "You probably can't afford my price." I said, "Don't mention it; I don't have any money." He said, "Will you devote your life to music?" This time I said "Yes." He said he would teach me free of charge. I gave up painting and concentrated on music. After two years it became clear to both of us that I had no feeling for harmony. For Schoenberg, harmony was not just coloristic: it was structural. It was the means one used to distinguish one part of a composition from another. Therefore he said I'd never be able to write music. "Why not?" "You'll come to a wall and won't be able to get through." "Then I'll spend my life knocking my head against that wall."

(I read it in his book Silence, but I grabbed this text from https://www.johncage.org/autobiographical_statement.html)

> Gödel was second-to-none in analytic ability and he was paranoid. What made him so certain that nuclear chain reaction was a distant possibility? If it were anyone else, I'd say they were just trying to comfort themselves by not thinking about terrible consequences. I wish I knew what made him come to the conclusion he came to.

The universe does not subscribe to rigorous, certain analysis. Being an unparalleled genius in mathematics can make you too certain of the applicability of conclusions deduced from axioms about the real world; in mathematics axioms are true because you decide to work in a model of them, but the real world usually doesn't care to cooperate with the axioms that make sense to you. My suspicion would be that that's what happened here.

Hi Hacker News,

I’m thrilled to introduce a project close to my heart – Journey Chains. It’s a unique blend of tangible, engraved bracelets and a digital platform that tracks their journeys around the world. This venture aims to deepen human connections through shared stories in a tangible format.

What is Journey Chains?

- Physical Bracelets with Digital Tracking: Each bracelet can be engraved with personal quotes or memories and comes with a unique code. This code connects to a digital platform that tracks the bracelet’s global journey and the stories it accumulates.

- Built on Bubble.io: As someone with limited coding skills, I utilized Bubble.io to build the entire platform. This allowed me to focus on the product’s design and user experience without deep diving into traditional coding.

- Community and Marketplace Dynamics: The platform not only tracks bracelets but also fosters a community where users can trade these storied bracelets, adding layers to each object’s history.

Challenges & Feedback Requested:

- Using Bubble.io for Complex Data Handling: Managing the intricate data involved in story tracking and user interactions on a no-code platform.

- Scaling with Bubble.io: Tips on efficiently scaling a user-driven platform on Bubble, particularly one that handles rich media and geolocation data.

- Privacy Considerations: Best practices for managing privacy, especially concerning geolocation data on a platform built with a no-code tool.

I’m here to gain insights and feedback on how to enhance this platform further, especially from those familiar with no-code solutions or community-driven projects.

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
Formal verification is very powerful but still not full assurance. Fun fact: Testing and monitoring of Datomic has sometimes uncovered design flaws in underlying storages that formal verification missed.

I would have thought biological contamination was an issue. I, perhaps foolishly, presumed wastewater treatment plants would be fairly good at removing heavy metals.

Biological contamination seemed like a bigger issue to me since the solids could be re-colonized post-processing.

Maybe this is a more processed product than I’m thinking of. Surely their not selling literal bags of poop, maybe it no longer resembles human feces enough for bacteria?
That's a very good way of putting it. Songs evoke a very multifaceted sort of experience, I can't think of a better way to put it - they make both sides of the brain fire up. A good song causes me to rationally enjoy its lyricism and have strong feelings over its melody.

I agree with you, as indicated by the second paragraph I wrote. I was just paraphrasing and tried to answer what I believe the other person was asking (I’m happy to be corrected if it was not).
I still don't quite get it.

Why can the camera's stabilization system detect the rotation and correct it (and causes undesirable result) but not the revolution?

There's a story about the jazz sax player Ben Webster that my music teacher told me. Supposedly he was taking a solo and stopped in the middle of it. When asked what happened later on he said "Sorry, I forgot the lyrics".

6 months into working with my current teacher he told me "ok, well you're not going to like this part, but this is the point where you have to learn and sing all the lyrics to all the tunes we work on". He's in his late 70s and learned the old way, which was you learned the lyrics to all the songs, and improvisation comes from singing them through your instrument (in my case piano). And then you start realizing just how many of the jazz musicians knew all the lyrics to all the standards.

I'm still mainly attracted to the music first, particularly rhythm, but I've gotten a new appreciation for understanding things lyrically as well.
> No offence, but this is why the plural of anecdote is not data. Your sample bias here is extreme - people who were idealogically inclined to take acid daily as an almost pseudo-religious sacrament are not a representative sample.

Case studies are a major source of data in science. People exposed to extreme radiation doses from accidents play a significant role in our understanding of the consequences of said exposure and ways to treat it.

If the people I knew were able to handle that kind of LSD use then I would have a different opinion because LSD would be safer. Is 1% the use 1% as dangerous? Now that’s where you need controlled studies because the effect size diminishes, but feed 50 rats 1 gram of substance Y and they all die and that’s strong evidence on it’s own no need for statistical analysis.
Yes, although thankfully on Windows we have a modern graphical terminal, with a scripting language that took plenty of learnings from non-UNIX CLIs into account.

Two things differentiate it from regular chat for us. One is it's mobile. They have a web product, but we don't use it, we just use the mobile, so we talk into it as opposed to type. I personally get up and walk around to talk into it. The second is the audio. Listening is just different than reading. Re-listening is awesome.
In my RnD testing, when I just need an arbitrary port, 666 is my go to.

(a) It's almost never used by anything else and (b) <3 Doom

Unfortunately, I showed some software in a sprint demo once, using 666 as an arbitrary port. I was very clear that this port can be anything, because the software was made to be configurable by the user, and of course the project manager wrote it down and put it in the "official" and released documentation that the customer must use port 666. facepalm.

So when I scan a server and 666 happens to be open. Nmap will now report “doom” under the “Service” header?

Most people will get a chuckle, but I suspect laymen and even Christian zealots will throw a fit.

Like when a normal person gets an error on their screen and it prints “process closed: child killed by parent”. It will probably raise an eyebrow at the very least, lol.
This is the George Costanza approach to VC: you go looking for some minor flaw, make a big deal out of it and then boast/complain to your friends.

I know humans aren’t rational creatures but boasting how you make big investment decisions on a glorified pseudoscience call like you’re Sherlock Holmes is icky.
> but carefully didn't include the critical lead in

Because it's irrelevant to my point. My point being that if you don't sign a contract with me where I commit to do something for you, then I don't owe you anything.

If you misunderstand open source and have wrong expectations because of it, then you will get frustrated. My point is that it is important for you to understand that open source just means that the author shares something for free, no strings attached. Maybe the maintainer is super responsive today, and that's great. But you have to know that they may stop responding tomorrow. And you should be ready to handle that if you depend on their project for something important.

I think "small minority" is a bit misleading. For the US that would be nearly 12 million people protesting.

Also, if that many people really are protesting, you can pretty safely extrapolate, that the support for the cause if at a much higher percentage.

Sometimes a minority can enforce their will, but there are probably more negative examples than positive ones where that did happen.
the technical math definition is a rigourous formulation that encapsulates exactly the same thing as what we mean when we say things are curved, but one that also extends far more generally into contexts where our old intuition fails.

The same is true for most mathematics. For example, we are introduced to multiplication as repeated addition: 3x == x + x + x or 2x == x + x and more generally nx == x + x + ... + x, for n number of times. Of course this is only defined over naturals, what would it mean if we instead took n to be fractional, negative, irrational, or even complex? We of can easily generalise multiplication over larger and more complex fields and spaces, but in doing so we must abandon our old intuitive idea that nx is x + x n-times.
This is all true, and still far better than the situation in Russia.

$150 million is way too low today. Nearly every small acquirable company will meet that threshold. I do think that a limit could possibly be set though for companies with significant market share in the same sector. The Sprint acquisition was over $20 billion. Exxon's acquisition of Pioneer last year was around $60 billion.
> I'm saying this would not be an average user. The average user would not be comparing AI capabilities, they open an app that uses AI, with a high chance of not even being aware of it

What is the point here? If the average user doesn't care about comparing AI capabilities, then clearly Apple wasn't targeting that user in their AI capability comparison.

> What should they have compared it to? There's only one other tablet on the market, with an old chipset and a fraction of the performance, that just received its first real video editor late last year [1].

It's very clear that Apple is trying to make the case that the iPad Pro is a replacement for a laptop. In fact, that was their core marketing claim when it came out : "What's a computer?" [1], and arguably that's the point of their latest ads where they market it as a general purpose computer. Given the price point and the marketing, yes, they should be comparing it with a computer when making the case it's a good replacement for a computer. And when they do, they should not be misleading to the point of falsehood.

There have been many. But none of them really successful, in the sense that they were more proof-of-concept, never fully feature-complete, or just not adopted by the community.

See the list here: https://github.com/hoeck/schirm

I think the most popular was TermKit (https://github.com/unconed/TermKit, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517205).

Maybe the most successful such attempts is DomTerm (https://domterm.org).
It's almost like parent was intentionally hinting for someone to mention Emacs. Probably not, but the degree to which they described Emacs was kinda funny. It may be old, but it's been evolving, and I absolutely love it still. Especially now with LSP. And it's not even hard to get into, when things like Doom exist.
i think i've just grown up in different areas to a lot of you all then. this has never been a problem for me, but maybe it's regional/cultural/climate-dependent.
I was laid off last year, but contract ended up getting extended until end of Jan 2024. After talking to a few other companies I decided to take 6 months - 1 year off unless something really interesting came along. A few days after that decision, a company reached out that fit into exactly that category and I ended up joining them.

I didn't notice any particular issues with job availability or recruiter outreach, and figured maybe the sentiment about the market is a little exaggerated.
A Sprint bankruptcy may have been inevitable, but Verizon and AT&T would have been forced to steer clear (a failed merger having made that inevitable).

The private market would have provided a bounty of suitors for Sprint if it couldn't recover from bankruptcy. It may have emerged in a far weaker fourth place, but it would still be around.
Prepaid sounds great unless you ever want roaming, it’s either straight up not possible or priced in a way that makes it impractical.
No. It means that a case for the same incident cannot be filed again. When a case is dismissed without prejudice, it can be refiled if the plaintiff thinks they can make a better case at some future point.
While no one is entitled to other's time for free software, your comment is needlessly dismissive and discouraging. People can have legitimate complaints and try to rally others to change the status quo. No one is encroaching on your right to use the software you choose. You also seem to have preconceived notions of what GP envisions. You can stick to your own thing, but don't stifle the creativity and fervor of others.
I would never, ever want to take food out of aphyr's mouth, but is there something specific that makes either just creating the Jepsen tests somehow out of reach of a sufficiently motivated contributor, or is so prohibitively expensive that a "gofundme-ish" setup wouldn't get it done?

I (perhaps obviously?) am not well-versed in that space to know, but when I see "wish $foo would pay for" my ears perk up because there is so much available capital sloshing around and waiting on Apple to do something is (in my experience) a long wait

“Her.” That was the single tweet that OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman posted as his lieutenants demoed a new ChatGPT with the same alluring vocal flourishes Scarlett Johansson used in the movie about a man who falls in love with his AI.

The most impressive thing about the new GPT-4o (the “o” stands for omni) is that it can discuss what it “sees” through your phone camera in real time, a skill that Google faked in a demo for its AI model last December. More startling was that it didn’t just sound human but … strangely seductive."""

I don't follow this industry at all, so I'm out of the loop. Are you saying Sprint could not have possibly reversed course? (E.g. through pricing or even new leadership)

Sometimes when companies are trying to merge, executives from both sides will come out and say it's "necessary" and push the narrative that one or both will go bankrupt without the merger. In cases where that strategy doesn't work it, unsurprisingly, turns out to be a lie. The companies will just keep competing and figure out a way to operating as usual. (I remember reading not-too-long-ago about an example of this exact thing, but don't remember what it was)

So personally, I don't trust anything a business says when a merger is on the table.
Fascinating. I've been thinking about this recently.

I'm 100% a music person. My girlfriend seems to be a lyrics person. She doesn't seem to understand why I listen to music that has no words (also, she calls every piece of music a "song", which is all too common, alas). Conversely, I think some of the stuff she listens to is mind-numbingly boring and generic (like Taylor Swift), but apparently the lyrics mean something.

If something can be musically interesting and have great lyrics (like The Beatles), then that's even better. But I'll listen to complete bullshit that is musically good (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg). But if it's got shit music then it's essentially poetry, and I don't like poetry.
