I find this a useful frame of reference: don't assume anyone, anything is correct. Learn to work with what is, not what could be. AI is very helpful to me, as long as I don't have unrealistic expectations.
For quite a period afterward, this defined the form factor. Many of us will have had the Japanese versions of this, in a leather or pleather wrapper, with the single earpiece on stiff twisted wire.

This looks handy. Do you have any tips for stuff like queued ‘mv’ or similar? If I’m moving data around on 3-4 drives, it’s common where I’ll stack commands where the 3rd command may free up space for the 4th to run successfully - I use && a to ensure a halt on failure, but I need to mentally calculate the space free when I’m writing the commands as the free space after the third mv will be different to the output of ‘df’ before any of the commands have run.

I don't necessarily disagree, although note that this is true for just about every packaging ecosystem: Rust, Ruby, etc. are similar in making no guarantee that the index name is even remotely related to the importable/module name.

Python gets the "worst" of it in the sense that it's big and has a large diversity of packages, but it's a general consequence of having a packaging ecosystem that's distinct from a given language's import machinery.

I have had to open the parent folder of all the different code bases I need in a single VSCode window, instead of having an individual window for each.

I much prefer having individual windows for each code base, but the 32G of ram for my laptop is not enough to do that.

If I were to run multiple instances of VSCode, then the moment I need to share my screen or run specs some of them will start crashing due to OOM.

It continues to be relevant. On modern computers, mobile especially, there are are more and more things that can glitch audio from being actually real-time. Probably one of the worst offenders is power management; it is extremely likely that the power management governor has no awareness of upcoming audio deadlines.

Obviously the happy case is when all the audio processing is done in a DSP where scheduling is deterministic, but it's rare to be able to count on that. Part of the problem is that modern computers are so fast that people expect them to handle audio tasks without breathing hard. But that speed is usually measured as throughput rather than worst-case latency.

The advice I'd give to anybody building audio today is to relentlessly measure all potential sources of scheduling jitter end-to-end. Once you know that, it becomes clearer how to address it.

Banning "py" would catch "mypy" and "pydantic", both of which you probably don't intend to catch.

pillow is imported as `PIL` because it's a fork of the original PIL[1]. There's a very strong argument that Python's ability to retain the same import name across package name changes like that is a valuable source of flexibility that has benefited the ecosystem as a whole.

[1]: https://pypi.org/project/PIL/
I thought nix did perfect bit-for-bit reproductions at any time on any machine so long as you used flakes to lock the versions of inputs (and also I gather that flakes by default lock out some remaining sources of nondeterminism like reading environment vars). Is that not correct? (I don't see flakes mentioned in that link, nor the linked lobsters discussion, and the only mention in HN comments of the past was someone arguing that it doesn't count because some packages still fail to reproduce, which is notable but would still leave it in at least the same ballpark as ex. Debian)

Compliance is based on the idea that if you are in compliance with a particular control (per NIST 800-53, say), then you have reduced the risk the control is meant to protect against by default. Compliance doesn't reduce all of the risk, but yes, it will reduce the risk profile to a degree depending on the control.

Multifactor, non-phishable credentials do reduce risk of unauthorized login, absolutely. It reduces the risk of having a username and password that anyone can use if they know it. Give someone the PIN to your PIV or CAC card, and it's useless without the card. The risk then is that someone grabs your card and then beats you for the PIN, but that's a much less likely scenario. Sure you can mitigate brute force attempts at guessing passwords, and you can check things like source IP of the client and make decisions whether to allow the login or not.

The problem with compliance in my experience is that while it does reduce risk, when your mission must use or configure equipment that doesn't or can't use that control for some reason, the IT powers that be (esp. in government) demand you comply anyway, or else, even if you have mitigated that particular risk with compensating controls. That's when 'checkbox compliance' becomes a real threat to mission success.
>And there are of course marriages that make it until death, but the partners and everyone around them spend the whole time miserable; that's hardly a success either.

Maybe according to your personal opinion, but the general opinion of society at large has been, for centuries if not longer, that these miserable marriages were in fact "successful" because they kept the two people married which was apparently much more important for various reasons (like religion or social stability) than whether the people involved were actually happy or not, which was not considered important at all until recent years.

I think society is going through a lot of "growing pains" now because of this change in attitude and the idea now that people's happiness is of prime importance in a relationship.

He probably used off-the-shelf RAM chips, after all, RAM is not part of the CPU.

In the early 70s, before the internet, even finding the information needed would be a fair amount of work.

I learned how flip flops worked, adders, and registers in college, and that could be extended to an ALU. But still, that was in college, not high school.

I've read some books on computer history, and they are frustratingly vague about how the machines actually worked. I suspect the authors didn't actually know. Sort of the like the books on the history of Apple that gush over Woz's floppy disk interface, but no details.
A certain frisson, irony, that MIT speaks to the confusion of meaning behind a field of study MIT is strong in. Where were you when the word leaked out in the. 60s guys? If you didn't want people to be confused, maybe you should have thought about that, back in the day?

Personally, I like to think of AI as applied maths in statistics and optimisation. I think I'd be less oppositional to it, had it not acquired the suck-fest of stupid associated with both "intelligence" and "artificial intelligence" when its not intelligent. It's maths. and a french metric tonne of data.

I have similar qualms about ML, and GAN. Learning has certain overtones.
Show HN: My first web app (video editor learning to code)
My background is in filmmaking, and video editing in particular. But for a few years now, I've become increasingly fascinated with the world of software (in large part due to reading HN).

At the beginning of Covid I started a website/blog called VU JA DE, to explore crazy ideas through found footage video essays. When my Wix subscription was up for renewal, I decided I'd rather rebuild the website from scratch, than to give Wix another $350 for another year.

I’ve had no formal training in programming or web development, though I've started experimenting with code in some work-related projects - such as Slackbots and low-code automations using n8n. Almost everything I've made thus far has been heavily aided by ChatGPT (I'll admit).

As a result, this was my first project using every piece of the stack, which included:
- Backend using Flask and PostgreSQL
- Frontend using React, Three.js, Framer Motion
- Hosting on Heroku, with assets on AWS S3/Cloudfront

This also happened to be my first taste of git, npm, Google Analytics, and basic computer vision (I used OpenCV to detect scenes and split the videos into the shorter clips you see on the cube).

Also important to note that the Rubik's Cube itself originated from some excellent source code by Keaton Mueller (https://github.com/KeatonMueller/cube). Over the course of several months, I managed to integrate video textures, clickable 'sticker' faces, a spotlight, camera animation, and various tweaks to the orbit controls.

Ultimately, this became my primary nights/weekends project for the last 6 months. After 100+ commits, and hundreds of hours of troubleshooting, I finally feel like I’m getting (close to) a grasp on everything that’s going on throughout the app.

Feel free to look under the hood: https://github.com/billybjork/vujade-site

I am certain there are dozens of things I did wrong here, so please let me know what they are :)

Part of my point is that fair use doesn't apply.

Training a model doesn't involve reproducing a copyrighted work, preparing a derivative work, distributing that work, or performing that work.

Fair use isn't required because none of the exclusive rights afforded by copyright apply.
> what if you change the implementation language later?

I don't think that is a thing that happens in real life.

* Practically, one package is associated with exactly one github repository, sometimes a few. You would see implementation switching from JavaScript to TypeScript, but almost never from python to Go. Normally people start a brand new project for that kind of thing.
* The reality is that each language has its own library ecosystem, and people reinvent the wheel at least once for each language. I wish we live in a world where you could save the effort, instead implement everything only once and it runs efficiently and has idiomatic APIs everywhere. But that's not how it works. If you create a package for a language, that's it. You could reimplement the same thing like by line in another language, but that would be a different package for that language.
You would think that, but it reminds me of a quotation of the moviefilm "Brazil" - """Oh Sam.. this is information RETRIEVAL, not information DISPERSAL"
I would say that I would hire that person if that was the solution. That said maybe repo wasn’t included in interview. (Would be even better if person figure out how to diff against a new clone)

With something like La_x H_y I expect it to oxidize or burn in contact with air.

I've got a fun issue right now – two packages with dashes in the package names but underscores in the module names:

https://pypi.org/project/xml-from-seq/ → xml_from_seq

https://pypi.org/project/cast-from-env/ → cast_from_env

Simple normalization, right? But `pip` installs one with underscores and one with dashes:

>>> from importlib.metadata import metadata
>>> metadata('xml_from_seq')['Name']
'xml_from_seq'
>>> metadata('cast_from_env')['Name']
'cast-from-env'

so that's what ends up in `pip freeze`.

I _think_ it's because there a bdist in PyPI for one, and not the other, so `pip` is using different "backends" that normalize the names into `METADATA` differently... ugh.
looking for what hasn't yet said here...

- some lines like Yamanote already use mobile block, 1 minute headways is pretty much SoTA with or without it.

- some systems like surface trams and AGTs can stop on a dime, but they are low efficiency, low capacity systems.

- trains scale well, the longest freight train known to man so far is ~4.5 miles long. A typical 15-car ~2k passenger commuter trains stretch about 300m(0.2mi).

- Just napkin math in loud: each Yamanote train at typical 150% capacity running at 1-minute headways can transport 2k[pax] * 60[min] = 120k passengers per hour per train; Yamanote has 30 stations with at at least one each of CW and CCW platforms; 120k * 30 stations is already 3.6m passenger per hour combined, or 28.8m per 8 hour day. Hypothetically the train can be joined back to back, operated 16 hours per day, tracks can be doubled, for a 2^3 multiplier to 28.8m figure. That's 230.8m/day or about 67.5% US population worth of traffic from just four pair of rails, and that's technically feasible with current technology. The question is how to make bucks out of it(build pairs of one Disneyland and a highrise apartment complex each along the rails)

I couldn't disagree more. Given time and budget constraints and the tendency for code/services/entire business models to deprecate in less than a decade heavy architecture should be the last thing that anyone reaches for and only after a need has been comprehensively proven for it. Over the decades I've lost count of how many project budgets have been blown to hell by well-intentioned, well-educated, experienced, and competent developers attempting to apply whatever architectural best practices du jour (the churn in this space is telling). End of the day it's still just code. There will still be bugs and it'll still be a pain in someone's ass to deal with. KISS uber alles.
