It is a bit more complex, though. Quoting "nmbl: we don’t need a bootloader" from last month[1]:

> - Possibility to chainload from Linux while using Secure / Trusted boot: Dual-booting, although not supported on RHEL, is important for Fedora. While there are attempts to kexec any PE binary, our plan is to set BootNext and then reset, which will preserve the chain of trust that originates in firmware, while not interfering with other bootloaders.

It could be seen as an advantage to do chainloading by setting BootNext and resetting. I think Windows even does this now. However, it certainly is a different approach with more moving parts (e.g. the firmware has to not interfere or do anything stupid, harder than you'd hope) and it's definitely slower. It'd be ideal if both options were on the table (being able to `kexec` arbitrary UEFI PE binaries) but I can't imagine kexec'ing random UEFI binaries will ever be ideal. It took long enough to really feel like kexec'ing other Linux kernels was somewhat reliable.

For the second part, 100%. I started years ago already collecting my own flac files, and I'm quite careful on picking the best mastering if possible. In 2024, finally, some of the latest remasters are great (like the new Steely Dans from Bernie Grundman). But between 2000-2015 or something a remaster of an album was usually just compressed to the maximum and made very _loud_.

For some of my favorite albums I have multiple masters available, because they can be very different how they sound and sometimes I can't choose the best one.

Oh, and for most of the people none of this really matters...
Is NTP precise enough for this? I thought timestamps are usually in milliseconds, but audio sampling rates can be fractions of a millisecond? If you're off by a little, won't it create weird echoes or interference in the sound ?
Ok guys can you move? Someone is there for too long.
Just do it now.
Any camera with an accurate clock can record video timestamped so that the exact time of each frame can be known.

Why do we need proprietary stuff like this when we already have a tried and true method for syncing multicamera shots?

The iPhone and iPad should be perfectly capable of this. Every video you take should be compatible, and pooling videos from multiple people should allow you to sync and sequence the videos properly.
I have no idea what connectivity options are available in current scanners, but it sounds like a viable solution could be to use an RF band that customers don't overwhelm, similar to wireless microphones perhaps, with a little hub situated nearby that consolidates the list of already-scanned tickets, possibly standalone or possibly on a wired network that includes other far-away entrances.

> AI can't think. It doesn't create an internal model of the problem given, it just guesses.

These "AI can't think" comments pop up on every single thread about AI and they're incredibly tiresome. They never bring anything to the discussion except reminding us how inherently limited these AIs are or whatever.

Someone else already replied with the OthelloGPT counter-example that shows that, yes, they do have an internal model. To which you reply that the internal model doesn't count as thinking or abstract reasoning or something, and... like, what even is the point of bringing that up every discussion? These assertions never come with empirical predictions anyway.

GP's comment was interesting because it pointed at a specific area of what LLMs are bad at. A thousandth comment saying "LLMs can't think or do abstract things (except in all the cases where they can but those aren't really thinking)" doesn't bring any new info.

Gas?! ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance.
Yes, but:
- Is having everything be an expression by default a good design choice? A not uncommon idea in programming language design is that certain language constructs (for example, variable assignments) are better off as only statements, as their potential for confusion outweighs their usefulness.
- Why should the burden of additional syntax be placed on the most common scenario? Statements (or the desire for statement-like behavior) tend to be far more common than lone expressions. Why not require lone expressions to be specially marked, rather than statements?
- Do the benefits of this approach outweigh its costs? Is elegance a desirable trait, and what is its importance relative to other values, such as clarity (how accurately and easily is the writer's intention conveyed to readers) and user experience (what is the potential for this syntax to be forgotten or misused).

Personally, I much prefer the design Go uses (where semicolons are implicitly added at the end of newlines following an identifier, numeric or string literal, keyword, or operator).

So a [gigantic meta analysis](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976342...) of thirty years of studies on sexed structural and functional differences in human brains found zero evidence of any differences, a completely overlapping distribution, but as soon as "big data AI" is used suddenly not only are there differences, there's literally zero overlap? Count me suspicious. I think I'm going to trust the meta-analysis of 30 years worth of wide-ranging scientific study over the brand new study that's just throwing whatever fad is currently in the vogue at the problem to see what happens.

Affinity has really sophisticated colour editing controls.

For example you can apply adjustment layers and then use a blend curve (not just blend ranges) to moderate it. So if you want warmer shadows, it's as easy as using a colour temperature adjustment to warm up your image and then adjusting the curve so that it doesn't apply where you don't want it.

And you have cross-model curves: you can apply Lab curves to RGB model images without converting.

It has a Capture-One-style HSL wheel. It supports LUTs (and LUT inference!)

I can think of some things Photoshop does that Affinity Photo does not, but I've been using it nine years now for my photography and web work (along with Designer). I think for almost every normal Photoshop user[0] there's no reason not to use Affinity Photo instead.

Yeah, "performed dominance" as you call it definitely is orthogonal to rationally understanding the world.

The problem is exacerbated by content and replies trending shorter over time. It's hard to have a nuanced and thoughtful take in 10 seconds. It's much easier to have a simple, easy to understand, "dominant" take in the same amount of time.

I wonder if there's a social solution to this, somehow.
>Maps is a prime example of the costs from not enforcing antitrust laws. Google spent billions of dollars from its ad monopoly to control this market and is now squeezing it for all it can.

The alternative to "Google spent billions of dollars from its ad monopoly to control this market" (ie. a non-subsidized maps app) is you paying $100 for a dedicated GPS device, paying $30/year for tomtom[1], or using a free app like organic maps. All of those are still options today. What exactly is "the cost" from letting google subsidize its maps app? Do you think that if such anti-trust laws were enforced, maps would still be free and ad-free?

That does not match my experience, even if I also believed that myth.

At one time I had to install Windows Enterprise IoT on several kinds of embedded computers, all of which had various quirks.

The computers worked fine in Linux, from the first attempt to boot it, without the need to do anything special, but a customer wanted to have Windows on those.

After installing Windows, there have been a lot of problems, for instance Windows was unbelievably slow, because the SSD's had a very low writing speed, but they could not be replaced with decent SSD's, because the embedded computers were certified for certain applications only with their original components.

Making Windows usable on those computers has required a week of tuning and finding various workarounds by searching the Windows Knowledge Base and various Internet Forums, where many Windows users had the same complaints as me, but few were able to provide good advice about how to solve the problems.

I have been astonished to discover that for every workaround I was not able to find any way to do it in any graphic interface of Windows, but all workarounds required to use in a Cmd window some obscure Microsoft command-line utilities with a lot of magic command-line options, which I did not understand and I could not find in the official Windows Knowledge Base, but which were suggested as solutions on various Internet forums and indeed they worked as desired.
Err...no. Developing countries tend to not have a large amount of anything. Definitionally they're poor and under-resourced.

If their economies are growing, the grids are constantly playing catch-up with demand. Otherwise they're in a state of managed decline, or are an actual dumpster fire.

Whatever the case may be, the one thing they don't have is reliable base generation capability. A safety net for when renewables can't produce enough.

The most popular desktop OS. It is nowhere to be found in the Top 500 supercomputers, is nowhere to be found on smartphones, lags in the Cloud, is nowhere to be found in the billions of appliances, etc.

> Why isn't that harming Windows?

It is harming Windows. That horrible cmd.exe is one of the reason Windows lost in all the other markets and has hardly any market share there.
I'm not sure I experienced the same with the Windows boot loader so maybe that behavior was something case specific instead of intended?
The UEFI environment is a given, unless you're in a position to replace the firmware - using grub doesn't avoid it in any way. But for the most part the security properties of the underlying firmware don't matter that much if the attack surface it exposes can only be touched by trusted code, which is the case if secure boot is enabled (and if secure boot isn't enabled then there's no real reason to bother attacking the firmware, you can already just replace the OS)
That really depends if you ask a neo nazi or not.

Timecode server and recorders that sink timecode are literally all you need. Everything has been standardized for multiple decades.

Truthfully, anymore even this is starting to become unnecessary; most NLE's can just figure it out from the regular metadata and autocorrelation to sync the clocks. Just dump it in the timeline and everything lines up.

Another user of pdm here for professional projects. It sure is more standards compliant than poetry. Support for in-project venvs and integration of configs for packages such as pytest is quite useful.

When evaluating package managers, poetry for sure was a contender. However listening to others experiences regarding poetry developers introducing breaking changes that could potentially cause the CI pipeline made it a no go [1]. uv seems to be coming along rather nicely, but wasn't anywhere near the level of stability compared to pdm during the evaluation phase.

Is that still the case these days? I filmed a multi cam performance a few weeks ago with an Android phone, a PC laptop, and an iPad. The software (Premiere and others) was able to automatically sync them up just by analyzing their waveforms and lining them up. (You just drag the clips into a timeline and then right-click to sync them... it takes a few seconds to process but it's all automatic)

It was good enough that the audio lined up perfectly except in cases where a performer was standing next to one microphone and far from the other one, which created a noticeable echo delay in stereo. But I think that's just the speed of sound at work, not the software's fault.

My understanding is that this is a normal feature in video apps these days, to the point that a lot of older standalone time sync apps are no longer for sale because it's all built-in now. I'm not a professional in this space though, just someone recording amateur videos for a music class.

> sadly, I would not be surprised if it were.

On my end, I'm sad people make up silly things that'd never happen, to claim that it could happen, so they can express their sadness.

There's better options!

ex. here: I'm sad because it's near 4 PM [EDIT: f***, after 4 PM!], and I got a bunch of failing integration tests to fix after rushing a feature, over a long holiday weekend, for an investor who has been AWOL for a week. When I take a step back, my harsh review of myself is I'm unconsciously getting my mind off it, because it makes me feel better because it's easy to be correct when people aren't trying to be. But really, I'm just burning time I could be using to wrap up work.

I admit to be on the side that is very suspicious about journalists, but I haven't given enough thought as to the role of money in their bias. Money obviously trumps everything (pawn not intended :) ), but there's also the question of where the money comes from, or what money is to be made from applying certain manipulations on the public.
All in all I think the notion of an 'objective' media is absurd to the point of puritanism. In democracies, the media is just another political force, like the parliament or the government, only it is not appointed by elections and less regulated, but also has no actual force, only 'soft force' (which in some cases is stringer than 'force force').

I have the complete opposite impression of European vs. American attitudes in this regard. It's a common belief here in the States that the Constitution was genius, that the healthcare system is "best in the world", that it's the "shining city on the hill" for the rest of the world. "If you don't like it, leave" is a fairly common response to criticism of US governance.

In EU GDPR vs. Google/Facebook/Apple, I'm very comfortable with the concept that the EU is at least trying to protect consumers from what has been decades of clear overreach by the ad industry.

If the answer is yes, does that mean a junior web dev who implements user tracking on a shopping portal is equivalent to Hitler? Or is every who does less evil than Hitler "not a bad person"?

I don't think it's useful to say "Hitler was bad." Hitler did a lot of specific evil acts that are more useful to analyze. If anything, it's counterproductive to say "Hitler was bad," because lots of people do bad things and then say "well, at least I'm not Hitler."

I am sure this is pointed out elsewhere, but ticketmasters business model is based on lying to the public so that the artists and venues don’t have to.

Taylor Swift is a nice-ish person and wants her fans to think they can buy tickets for her shows at about 25 bucks because that’s a lot of money for a 12 year old and she does not want to alienate her fans.

Her manager is an evil cackling bastard and wants to get as much as he can.

He knows if he sells all the tickets for 25 bucks he will lose money in the tour and the people who resell the tickets for 2000 will make 1975 dollars profit.

So he does a deal with ticketmaster.

They will sell 100 seats at 25 bucks, then announce “wow that sold out quickly” and then pretend that the other 5000 tickets they have are sold, and then resell them on secondary sites (ie ticket master is actually selling you orignal tickets through secondary markets).

Then they give the cash to the evil manager who twirls his moustache.

All the rest, the adding extra charges at end of sales process, the ridiculous rush to buy at a given moment in time instead of some auction or lottery, the whole thing of backhanders to venues, all that is secondary to enabling Taylor swift to take a huge cut without seeming like a evil moustache twirling money grabbing manager.

(a) doesn't hold up because the details of the claim necessitate that it is a property of brains that they can always perceive the truth of statements which "regular computers" cannot. However, brains frequently err.

Penrose tries to respond to this by saying that various things may affect the functioning of a brain and keep it from reliably perceiving such truths, but when brains are working properly, they can perceive the truth of things. Most people would recognize that there's a difference between an idealized version of what humans do and what humans actually do, but for Penrose, this is not an issue, because for him, this truth that humans perceive is an idealized Platonic level of reality which human mathematicians access via non-computational means:

> 6.4 Sometimes there may be errors, but the errors are correctable. What is important is the fact is that there is an impersonal (ideal) standard against which the errors can be measured. Human mathematicians have capabilities for perceiving this standard and they can normally tell, given enough time and perseverance, whether their arguments are indeed correct. How is it, if they themselves are mere computational entities, that they seem to have access to these non-computational ideal concepts? Indeed, the ultimate criterion as to mathematical correctness is measured in relation to this ideal. And it is an ideal that seems to require use of their conscious minds in order for them to relate to it.

> 6.5 However, some AI proponents seem to argue against the very existence of such an ideal . . .

Penrose is not the first person to try to use Gödel’s incompleteness theorems for this purpose, and as with the people who attempted this before him, the general consensus is that this approach doesn't work:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/#Gd...
I had a similar issue recently. Someone suggested a technical solution that based on my experience has zero chance of being correct. It was said with great confidence that makes me doubt my experience. Great confidence but zero supporting details or experience. For someone observing from the side there's no way to tell who is right and my double-take doubting my own experiences can appear to make the extremely confident but likely wrong person be the right one. For someone that really knows stuff, being 100% confident on nuanced/complex issues is very hard, you're used to moving forward with 90% or 80% or 95% confidence. I.e. you're very likely right, but there are can be surprises or something you didn't anticipate. For someone confident but wrong they have like 100% confidence for something that's 0% chance of success. As you say, this is a lot more difficult when you're put on the spot, e.g. the CEO might question what's the right decision in a meeting (the king in your example.). Often there's not enough time for a deep study and even after studying a problem it might still not be 100%.

Tough situations to handle.
