Proper, hard-working DJs submit track lists from gigs which then compensates artists through copyright and performing arts agencies, which is way more money than the $0.50 you get from a single track sale. This has been standard for decades and is no different from Twitch collecting revenue. You can also submit tracklists from online events these days. Although in my experience most DJs are lazy (or do not know of this scheme), and this stuff needs to be automated.

Pretending that the DJ's experience matters more than the music they play is cringeworthy for any DJ worth their salt. Nobody beside self-centered assholes think this way about themselves.

And this is not even getting to how a lot of DJs don't even pay for their music.. big names have a constant stream of free promos coming their way, and you can sign up on any number of promo lists from labels to get their latest releases delivered in your inbox. It used to be that they mailed out physical vinyl, for free!

I do! I have some niche hobbies and have read, and really enjoyed several self published amazon ebooks that had zero reviews.
Lmao, tell me you truck cosplay without telling me.

The vast, vast majority of construction sites don't need a dualie. Hell, half of them don't need a truck. I've seen and met numerous plumbers, electricians, and carpenters who roll up in a van. My uncle was a GC for 40 years. My other uncle was a union pipe/sprinkler fitter. My cousin is an electrician. My other cousin owns a roofing company, and my pops is an architect who regularly makes site visits. None of them owned a work truck. The only one who does own a truck is the roofer who got a Raptor for fun.

The majority of truck owners do not haul large cargo. The majority of construction workers do not bring tools requiring a bed each day. Lawn crews use trailers for their actually large equipment. With fewer and fewer exceptions each year, trucks are increasingly bloated emotional support vehicles for insecure and obnoxious turds.

While you were right in calling that an exaggeration, the only people who I've ever seen use a dualie for real work were all towing horses.
Which megafauna went extinct in Africa? Surely some couldn’t evolve in time
How is this different from having screen recording on?
Agreed. History is rhyming a lot, lately. Feels like we're reliving events from about 100ish years ago.
You mean the Zorin OS logo?
> Anyone using a washer, listens for it

I hate laundry. I still have no idea how to do it; I referred to detergent as laundry sauce a few years ago after forgetting the word. (Thank you, subconscious of mine.)

The new machines with screens are a nuisance. Apparently to you, somebody competent. But also to those of us for whom listening to one’s washing machine sounds like advice from a laundry Lorax.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I thought I understood this stuff, but apparently I'm still missing something. I obviously need to ponder it some more, because I still don't understand why second-order induction succeeds where first-order induction fails. We are only dealing with one predicate here, FINITE. So why should it make a difference if induction on FINITE is a first-order instantiation of an axiom schema, or an instantiation of a second-order axiom? Proving that all natural numbers are finite still boils down to induction on FINITE, no?
If you mean Win-G, then clicking screen record, it shows an overlay which clearly indicates that the screen is being recorded. I don't think that you can hide that overlay.
I'm on team front-loader for sure. When I got my first one (about 30 years ago), I immediately noticed a significant reduction in dryer lint with no other changes. I attributed that to the washer doing less damage to the clothes and did later get a strong sense that my clothes were lasting correspondingly longer. (I couldn't detect any change in cleaning power.)

Completely agree that I don't need any WiFi connectivity on it.
>> Prior to the war Ukrainians' views on russians seemed way more friendly than the 'mainstream' american's views on mexicans.

The 2019 "On Protecting the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the State language" law forbid the publishing of print media in Russian unless the same publication was available in Ukrainian, it forbid requiring Russian language ability for any job, it forbid Russian instruction in schools after elementary school, and it limited the amount of Russian content allowed in broadcasting.

That does not seem to me to be more friendly than the way Mexicans are treated in the US. It seems like a law that was designed to cause conflict. If Canada passed a law that treated French speakers like that, I would expect violence and I would assume that the legislators who passed the law were trying to provoke violence.
Arm is so, so over this AI accelerator unit craze
there's a giant banner saying that screen recording is on, while there's nothing for recall? im not sure im following your question.

Didn’t congress pass a gargantuan bill a few years back for this?
It won't save your passwords in clear text though.
I think a lot of it is just garbage science by people who were paid by some industry to come up with anything that could result in a snappy headline that might boost sales of their product, combined with media being perfectly happy to misrepresent even honest research if they can get a clickbait title out of it. "Science says Bad Thing you like is actually good for you!" is about as sure to generate clicks/views/ad impressions as "Science says Healthy Thing is actually killing you!"

With near zero accountability for bad science and journalism this situation isn't likely to change any time soon.
It's like the difference between sniff https and http traffic

> A true to history version would be soldiers getting shrapnel wounds from indirect fire and being shot at by soldiers they can't see. Then they redo it somewhere else becouse someone said so.

No offense intended, but did you really watch Saving Private Ryan? Both of those things you mention occurred within the first 60 seconds of the start of the beach scene.
I think a lot of the megafuauna have bones found near humans and other signs of hunting and the inverse meaning human bones with animal bites isn’t as common.
Not in this case, because the 'stick shaker' activates when the aircraft is stalling or close to stalling. The only sensible option in this scenario is to lower the angle of attack, that is, pitch forward. If you have both the GPWS 'terrain, pull up' warning and the stick shaker warning simultaneously then you are in a sticky situation indeed.
Was confused by this, as well. It appears they skilled the intermittent part entirely.
I don't believe "middle class" is anything but a psychological game.

You either have to sell your labour to someone else or you don't.

The concept of a "middle class" seems to just make half of the working class think they're better than the other half.
Are these really the problem? I feel like new cars are obscenely expensive right now. Even a basic car can easily run you 30-40k, the same thing a few years used will be <20k, and a few years more <10k (this is in Australia).

The difference between a brand new car and a 10 year old car is almost nil in terms of featureset nowadays (if anything, you get more because you can buy a higher end older model for less), every car has all the basics. Cars just got so good over the last 20-25 years that any vehicle in that age range is a perfectly reasonable choice.
I have the 80's feel too...

It isn't piracy, anti-cheat technically isn't DRM. Many games let you disable it for the purpose of running mods. Even Halo: Master Chief Collection, a Microsoft game, has concessions made by the developer so that it works properly on Linux given anti-cheat is disabled (they've mentioned it in patch updates).

Judging by the second bit in your post there I guess you haven't been paying much attention to gaming in the Linux space in the last 6 years or so, lol.
I love my '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee for everything but the gas mileage. I especially love that everything is under direct button and dial control, and yet somehow its interior doesn't look like that of a 747.

If a 26-year-old car can do it, so can modern ones.
Your comment resonates and I liken it to promoting when starting a business, which I have just recently done again.

Feels like there is a massive imbalance between quality outlets where eyeballs exist and the volume of people /content/businesses vying for attention at those outlets.

And, the idea that we need to all become influencers of some scale and amass our own audiences to get the word out about something is not practical or possible. Just creates a long-tail for the platforms. This leaves a relative handful of platforms and influencers through which everyone must flow.

It produces an all-or-nothing effect, with tons of failures and a few outsized winners (relatively).

I've solved this before, but things weren't as concentrated then. And, ironically, my latest business is intended to solve this for others. But, this startup phase is a beast.
This is why Amazon can’t supplant bookstores because they, and publishers, act as curators for the deluge of creative works out there. (Not saying they are always right in their choices and certainly good stuff gets written that is never submitted to a publisher, but I would rather browse the shelves of my local bookstore—especially an independent one run by someone who cares very much about literature (as booksellers do as they’re otherwise not in that difficult business), than scroll through Amazon.
Even if you throw out the research that you mention, you'd still have to contend with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_randomization which converges with that research and shows that ApoB is an independent causal factor for CVD, like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7611924/ (random google result). And saturated fat increases ApoB. And Mendelian randomization over genes that increase the saturated fat -> cholesterol or ApoB relationship, or cholesterol and ApoB independently, result in more CVD.

The evidence and scientific consensus are still against your wishful thinking. Though these days with algorithmic doom-scroll feeds it can feel like there is no consensus.

I follow a lot of evidence based nutrition accounts on Twitter yet I still get recommended quacks like Shawn Baker and Nina Teicholz (carnivore diet charlatans) who make the same points you make to story-tell away the inconvenient truth. And I specifically avoid anti-science quackery. So I can imagine what the average person is seeing and why it seems like the science is reversing.
Good list! Some of my favorites:

- The Shining Mountain by Pete Boardman (one of my favorite of all books, two pretty normal guys doing something absolutely epic)

- Everest: The Cruel Way by Joe Tasker (maybe history's single greatest suffer-fest, incredible).

- Touching The Void by Joe Simpson (I avoided reading this for such a long time, because it's something of a cliche, but it's actually great).

- Seven Years in Tibet in Heinrich Harrer (It's hard to know how reliable this is, and it's a bit of a tall tale, but it's absolutely not the book I expected it to be going in).

- Eiger Dreams by Jon Krakauer (Bite-sized bits of great outdoor writing). "Into Thin Air" is a good read too.

The "classic" I disliked was Herzog's Annapurna. It just seemed so mechanical, and so missing the joy of exploration that makes the best of these books so fun to read.

Zotero is great for organizing and annotating papers, keeping notes, and building bibliographies.

You can create libraries and sub libraries according to topic, and also create libraries for projects or reading lists. You can file items into multiple libraries, and you can also create shared libraries, allowing your team to share annotated papers.

Finally it can archive offline copies of web pages, which makes it useful for blog articles and other online resources that might vanish.

There's a learning curve, but it's worth it if you find yourself juggling dozens or hundreds of technical papers! Enjoy!
You write that there are "accounts of numerous women who have claimed they were raped and abused." Is the Times incorrect when it says the only such victim testimonial comes from Amit Soussana?

Microsoft is a big organization with different teams. It wouldn't surprise me if this front-end AI team didn't consider the larger security implications -- having it stored in your profile probably seemed sufficient. It's the same security all your documents have, your browser cache, etc.

The case Amdahl brought against IBM tackles this question directly. It may have settled, though. (I was a CPU logic designer at Amdahl for a while. Some people had access to info from IBM under the terms of the settlement. They could read and make plans. Then one day they could walk down the hall and tell me about new tasks on my to-do list. )
I've been doing machine learning since the mid 2000s. About half of my time is spent keeping data pipelines running to get data into shape for training and using in models.

The other half is spent doing tech support for the bunch of recently hired "AI scientists" who can barely code, and who spend their days copy/pasting stuff into various chatbot services. Stuff like telling them how to install python packages and use git. They have no plan for how their work is going to fit into any sort of project we're doing, but assert that transformer models will solve all our data handling problems.

I'm considering quitting with nothing new lined up until this hype cycle blows over.
Thanks, nice to know
Have you considered spending some time to understand how these machines work? I promise you the operational part in the manual that came with them is probably 10 pages long, and designed to instruct folks with an eighth grade reading level how to do laundry.
I assume you mean algebraic data types as found in C#, Go (awkwardly), Rust, Swift, TypeScript, and Zig.

Also, gradual typing + ADTs: Crystal, Elixir and Erlang typespecs, Haskell, Python

Finally, dependent typing + ADTs: Ada 2012, Agda, Futhark, Idris, Lean
Not significantly. The economics are a tidal wave and any political action is like trying to hold it backward speed it up with a bucket.

Industry and individuals switch quickly when the economics are favorable.

Brings back memories. In the mid 1980s Duck Hunt was one of the games that came included in the bundle (along with Gyromite and ROB the robot) when you bought the NES.
This is the "damned if they do" side. I don't care what the principle was that kept them from doing it. "We'll make more money over the longer run if we don't do it" is a totally valid principle in my book.

But if that's the case, then I'm looking down on them for throwing that away in favor of short-term gain now.

Unless they can point to something specific and say, "Our reason was X. Now Y has happened, which makes X now an inferior strategy to Z, so we're doing Z now," they either should have done it sooner or shouldn't do it now. I don't see anywhere they're pointing at any Y that has happened.

Super basic estimate (I'm not an astronomer, this could be wrong): The core of a star has a radius of 100000 km, and after collapse the radius becomes 10 km. Angular momentum is proportional to fr^2, where f is the rotation frequency. Since the radius decreases by 4 orders of magnitude, to keep the same angular momentum the frequency must increase by 8 orders of magnitude. This means that if the new rotation frequency is 1/hour, the original must have been around 10000 years.

Statistically some stars like that probably exist somewhere, but it's unlikely that one of the few thousand neutron stars we know of started that way.
I wonder if you could do that with tristate logic somehow. maybe with more guards or other variables.

You're right, this stuff really doesn't help the indie people who would need the most support as nearly all of the long tail falls outside of the program.

You'd be surprised how many artists own 100% of their rights these days though- people have gotten way more aware of the business side of things in the past 20 years, and there are things like label deals where the rights roll back to the artist after x years.
They want both.

They can get both.

Guy has stashed away so much money it's absurd. He should be taken for every penny he's ever made. Making money trying to convince people that a bunch of dead kindergartners are fake and their parents are just paid actors. What a scumbag. There's very few people who I'd have no problem with them getting chased by a mob, caught, violently dismembered, and beaten to death. He's one of them.
Thanks, I'll take a look into this! I'm still probably going to move to a linux distro for my desktop, but I'm always down to try breaking things on another system.
Laundry is not hard. Go watch a YouTube video. When it doubt, sort by color and size, wash on cold, hang dry. Heat can keep things white or dry things faster, but has higher potential to damage clothes.

All mass produced clothes of any value have a care tag that at least has symbols, if not outright written Instructions.

EDIT: Reading your bio makes me think of someone who has probably never had to do their own laundry.
If automation didn't reduce labor costs and overall costs, nobody would do it. The jobs provided to the guys making the machines are paid less overall than the jobs they replace.

Most modern jobs are so-called "bullshit jobs" where people sit around wasting time pretending they're doing something useful.

This was not true before the massive electronic industrialization in the mid to late 20th century. You can argue that society is better for automation, but there are very few facts to support the idea that it increased productive jobs.

If minimum wage doesn't affect employment, why not raise it to a million dollars per hour? Your assertion that it doesn't lower employment isn't factual except in cases where it is already lower than the lowest going rates or where it can be avoided (under-the-table jobs or contract work).

In any case, the real minimum wage is zero. If your job is costed above what it is worth, the employer will eliminate it.

This sounds amazing! Some years ago I was involved with a project for a company where we tried to extract some data from some PDF files they had. But neither OCR nor my attempts at reconstructing order of text in the documents panned out in the end, and it all ended in tears :(

Perhaps one day in the future dealing with extracting data from PDFs will be less of a mess.
It occurred to me that the neutron star may be wobble spinning and we only catch it flashing by now and again when it gets round to pointing in our direction. Does anyone here know if this even a possibility for such an object or would it’s internal uniformity (in composition) prohibit such behaviour?
It would be nice if it could diffuse right on the AST. That would ensure each generated item passes a syntax check, without the waste of rejection sampling
> The new machines with screens are terrible. Apparently to you. But also to those of us who have no idea what you’re talking about with this Lorax for the laundry talk.

I think it's just a simple statement that, for example, an app that proudly offers to tell you when your drying is done is really offering no service, since you can just hear from the fact that the dryer's not running that it's done—not that we're performing some delicate sound-based diagnosis.

(That's, of course, presumably referring to people with in-unit dryers; I can imagine this being a useful service if one were using shared units, say in a common room in an apartment complex, or in a laundromat. But that's assuming that the app is intended actually to do its advertised job rather than to provide a vector for manufacturers to shoehorn in some other unwanted behavior, which is an assumption decidedly in need of supporting evidence.)
