I would like to add another comment on the matter of idle power draw, that is turning out to be somewhat disappointing on the platforms of this generation (a).

The TinyMiniMicro PCs from 8/9th-gen Intel are impressive as they can get below 3 W at the wall. Gemini Lake (Refresh) thin clients can also easily get under 4 W. I wonder whether these performances come from optimisations driven by actual market requirements (I guess it can make a difference for a company that run thousands of those?).

ARM RK3588 platforms are champions in this regard. My Orange Pi 5 Plus idles at 1.5W (less than a RPi 4, with the same power supply). However, they are not viable for people who want to run Proxmox.

It seems that almost all N100 platforms idle above 5 W. Also, there are not so many passively cooled options from reputable manufacturers, while actively cooled boxes are not so silent (while TinyMiniMicro PCs are super quiet under most usage scenarios).

(a) With EU energy prices, a 5 W difference translates to 20-35 EUR per year on the electricity bill.
Heck, I'm all about polyrhythm and polymetre

Had no idea Reaper had this, thanks!

What actually switched me over from trackers as the primary tool was this (discontinued) DAW called Orion, it had a piano roll for which you could provide custom tick rates, divisions, and highlighting rules for those divisions (ie. You could specify an arbitrary number of columns, then have bar lines every 11 beats and more subtle lines every 7 beats)

You've made my day with this tidbit!
Everyone who even vaguely cares about psychology should read Eichmann in Jerusaelm from her.
I can't say for them, but towel is good heat insulator and can keep bottle content cold. I use it often for that reason (either towel or other clothes that's already in backpack).
It's so good (and sticky!)

When mine arrived I fiddled for a minute, then wasn't so sure it was going to be a winner

Then looked up and 6hrs had passed - absolute love
Then have fun trying to debug an LLM and realising that not only are there billions of unlabeled variables (weights and activations) but that in fact no one knows the specific purposes of those variables, not even the people who wrote the code and trained the model.
Interesting, didn't see this before. Now I am curious about addicted judge effect (e.g. smoking) since I witnessed weird things semi-similar to this, but for smoking.
I keep reading this but if you compare the latest version of the 9front fork with the source code with inferno there is no doubt 9front looks a lot more polished. FFS I had to download some guys amd64 fork because the vita nuova bit bucket only has i386 sources.
Is it fishism, yet? /q
> I still use WhatsApp though as that is the biggest communication app outside China in Asia

This is still contributing to their monopoly. WhatsApp's monopoly is growing and they've even blatantly started to copy the competition: Telegram.

Disagreeing publicly does nothing if I'm the one empowering my opposition in the first place.
Statistics for stuff that has unequal length is tricky. Reminds me of the days there I did packet sampling on the LAN and as the length distribution is bimodal statistical math using means as assumption yielded misleading results.
It sounds like he is talking about an actual simulation:

> Basically, his idea was that if we progress far enough technologically, we'll probably end up running a simulation of our ancestors. Give those simulated ancestors enough time, and they'll end up simulating their own ancestors. Eventually, most minds in existence will be inside layers of simulations — meaning that we probably are too.

> What they mean is that this three dimensional reality we're experiencing is a projection of some sort of higher dimensional reality.

I think, that's also true for holography.
I don’t want to quote Einstein here, or the path not taken. ;)

It's free to use for anyone. Doesn't need any client(software), just config like described in link above. It's fucking fast(for me). You don't need to use the ad/malwarblocking lists, though you can with some rather coarse granularity.

What exactly is blocked by which options can be determined from there:

https://github.com/mullvad/dns-blocklists

Besides that it seems uncensored. Meaning you can browse sites which are censored by DNS-blocking in the EU.
I don't get how it depends on "how it was written." First, Bach did write chords. Bar 2 of the famous Toccata and fugue ends in a chord. Bar 10/11 has a big chord. Bar 12 starts with a chord. There are chords everywhere. In case you doubt the authorship, plenty of other toccatas have chords. The whole idea of figured bass is chords.

Second, while they did think differently about harmony, you can describe it in modern terms. A description like Cmaj7 doesn't mean anything else than a set of pitches.

A tritone substitution is somewhat different, since it depends on what the analyzer thinks the chord could/should have been. There's a recent YouTube video (by David Bennett, IIRC) that shows tritone substitutions in songs, but he mentions that he doubts Paul McCartney knew he was writing one. But does that mean it isn't? No, it means you can see it as a tritone substitution.

Music theory is a subjective tool to describe and compare, nothing else.
This is mindblowingly cool

Here comes another rabbit hole
Can a future GPS replacement or extension use signed transmissions to help address this?
I've seen that but I am not sure I agree with it. The categorization seems solid, at the same time the real world offers a lot of surprises and niche market settings.
Also, to acclimatize them to the structure of working where we spend massive amounts of our time carrying out arbitrary tasks with arbitrary deadlines. The core work skill for many jobs is our ability to both believe and co-create the shared fiction that they are important enough to even spend time on in the first place.
Why do people suggest inflating away debt rather than just defaulting on it? I'd guess that the debt markets would punish the two options equally, because bonds would lose the same amount of real value either way. But inflation also screws up your economy as a side effect.
Coffee is laden with beta-carbolines, some of which are known to be anxiogenic.
Why do you say a tritone substitution turns it in a II-bII-I? Can it be as easily said to be II-#I-I? In that case it would be C#.
well arrays of digits are often daily duty in finance, and also historically, quite a few talks online involved people in finance IIRC

ps: oh, and commercial APL/j/k engines are said to be extremely optimized
The M-code from GPS (for military use) is almost certainly signed (as part of being encrypted), but unfortunately, while the latest L2C (civilian) has ECC, there is no signing.

I would suspect this is probably intentional, as it's difficult to imagine otherwise why this would be omitted in the latest standard.

The US probably wants the operational capability to spoof the civilian GPS; and signing would provide verifiable attributability.
I ran into this many years ago when trying to inspect spectral content of data from a fancy oscilloscope that had sub-sample accurate timestamps.

There are some tricks to solve my problem. The general term for it is "periodogram".

> was "sketching" out songs that I might somebody revisit to remaster or clean up with better instruments

Haha big time - I didn't really have the kit for such things, but I remember trying to "finish" a few tunes by rendering them out (not as stems) and then adding crap over the top in a non-real-time sample editor

Whole thing of course became a mess of reverb :)

> writing out by hand effects that are done nowadays with VSTs

Yeah, VSTs made it so appealing and flashy

Making manual flanges by copying a track and using sample offset on one was... not super convenient, but boy was it satisfying

"real" effects opened up so many powerful sound design options that it was easy to forget about actually composing things :)

And the amount of times I then wanted tracker level micro control you got with manual approach and just gave up after a bit..
I used to drink 3 cups of coffee per day. I recently switched to decaf and it has improved my sleep considerably. I still enjoy the ritual of grinding, brewing, pouring, sipping.
Whenever I'm discussing something in person I think about how I would feel if it turned out my employer was breaking the law and me not putting it in writing stopped the injured parties from obtaining just compensation.
Because I tend to hold it with my left hand and tap with my right, I've deliberately moved icons around until my most commonly launched apps are as close to the bottom right corner as possible.

I've actually stopped using the 'switch between running apps' UI almost entirely now because with that done, it's faster for me to tap to the home screen then on the icon of the app I want to switch to.

Show HN: Redu – ncdu for your restic repository
Redu helps you find what's taking up so much space in your restic repository, all the caches and useless things you might be backing up.

Redu aggregates data from all snapshots into one view so you can easily find the culprits.

It lets you navigate around and mark all the files you want and generate a restic-compatible exclude file that you can just use.

There's a fairly complete README in the link with pics.
The free time aspect is probably a big one - easy for nostalgia to say it's the tools that changed, but as an adult (or close approximation of one) getting a few hours of free exploration time is downright miraculous - can't possibly compete with a teenager hyperfocusing and losing time while they create for 24hrs solid
Something else vital is that it ran on almost everything. Even before it expanded to every smartphone and console available, you could get it to run on a cheap and old laptop. Even 10fps was serviceable if you played on peaceful :)

I actually got into Minecraft during classic, and I chased performance optimizations all the way to Linux. Even with all the feature additions, by the time it hit beta, it ran better on my laptop than it did in infinidev / alpha.

When it entered beta and Jeb took over in 2011, it felt like an inflection point. Minecraft just _kept_ _getting_ _bigger_. Every time I come back, there's something new that I discover.

I think that's part of the secret. Even with a wiki up at all time, there's still the delight and horror of discovery. I went got back into the game recently, went strip mining 5 blocks above bedrock, and was pleasantly surprised by the whole process :)
IPSec is still widely deployed, securely even. All manual, of course, because it doesn't do the stuff that makes HTTPS easy.

IPSec is not always a VPN protocol. L2TP over IPSec is often used as one, but IPSec does little more than encrypt a tunnel between two IP addresses. IPSec in tunnel mode can be a minimal VPN, but it's not used as such as in VPN scenarios without a second packet encapsulation protocol, as it lacks authorization beyond key exchange.

As for the risk of ossification: that didn't go away with the current system either. HTTPS over TLS 1.3 looks like a TLS 1.2 session resumption on the wire (in its default configuration) because shitty middleboxes are used often enough that it would impede the protocol.

The "let's remake TCP over UDP" approach QUIC takes has very similar origins. UDP is generally allowed by random firewalls over that network, while other (more suited) protocols for this type of stuff like SCTP are not. The operating system doesn't allow opening raw network sockets without high privileges, so adding a new QUIC protocol at the layer of TCP and UDP to implement them at the right spot in the stack wouldn't be usable for many devices. Same is true for the TCP stack you have to use what the OS provides or get higher privileges to do your own; patching the TCP state machine isn't practical. So, if you want to implement a better version of TCP optimised for web browsing and such, you use UDP, because while technically incorrect, it'll work in most cases and has the least restrictions.

In the context of the network, IPSec is the new protocol here, not the result of ossification.
Default impact is spread more unevenly compared with inflation.
Ladybird doesn't support Windows yet because most developers use Linux or macOS. Ladybird has been progressing faster when it comes to CSS rendering and JavaScript support.
I should add that I think Tailwind, much as I love it, has been responsible for much of this problem. Tailwind’s creator, Adam Wathan, wrote a book called Refactoring UI. It’s a book that teaches you how to design, and one of the things it explicitly states is that you should add generous spacing around elements.

If you look at Tailwind UI, which is clearly governed by the principles laid out in Refactoring UI, you can pretty much see the blueprint behind 95% of websites today.
They could still spoof an encrypted public signal as they would be the owners of the key.
Probably my naiivity here, but why isn't R on the list?
The "secret" knowledge isn't necessary if you're persistent enough. Japanese Youtuber PiroPito has an ongoing series of videos (with English subtitles) of an almost entirely unspoilered playthrough:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbqkLu2V1bJJUQ2aLZjFd...

Only things he used external information for were nether portals (which were made more difficult by poor Japanese translation) and summoning the wither. The devs added ruined portals in response to this series as an in-game hint for nether portals.
May also be worth a look at Solid and things the same author has built on his dom-expressions library (I've been thinking about using his mobx-jsx for example) - a more React-ish experience but with a compilation strategy that seems to've been written with a similar aesthetic and set of trade-offs in mind to Svelte.

(Svelte is awesome, mind, I compare the two to compliment them both)
Totally - the "I like this, how does it work?" Factor is such an amazing learning tool (and a hell of a fringe community builder)

Between mod files and small demoscene programs written in assembler there was so much incentive to improve your skills just in order to _understand_ how a thing worked. Then you're using that new understanding to make new things (rather than copying a set of rote "tricks")
I would think translation to other languages would be trivial. The model is just a map of word to vector. Every word is converted to it's vector representation; then the query word is compared to the input words using cosine similarity.

Perhaps one simple way would be moving its own executable and putting a different executable in its path. The idea is that under Linux you can change things in the filesystem but the running process is keeping the old state. This way you can delete files but the process still has access to the file as long as it runs. This is exploited by log rotating: move the current log file and put a new log file in its place. Then when the service restarts it switches to the new log file, but not before.

Didn't try it out.
I'm not sure the Vietnamese are a marginalized group. More a country that was kept poor by communism and is now recovering in a similar way to China but a few years behind.
Buzz tracker was so awesome

I may be in favour of DNSSEC, but I admit that it's time for a v2 of the RFC that removes the stupid "encryption can't be done at the endpoint" restriction. In practice you can just turn on validation on many computers and gain its benefits, especially if used in the manner as described here where you can just block connections to unprotected hostnames to work around the most glaring issue, but the whole spec is written for a world we've moved beyond.

IPv6 doesn't have that problem, though.
Of course they could, but then you'd know it's the US doing it; with cryptographic evidence.

If there are covert operations going on somewhere in the world, where the US isn't publicly claiming to be (and I don't just mean DoD; but also CIA for example); this would be an irrefutable cryptographic trail.

Another case is unintended collateral damage; e.g. say a civilian airliner (with US citizens perhaps) goes down; the US can't have plausible deniability and suggest it was the enemy doing it.

Are the railway strikes in Germany really a good example? It's a public company, no matter what happens it will be kept afloat by the taxpayers. Realistically, if DB were a private company, it would have long gone bankrupt and the strikers would be out of a job. They lost 1.3B apparently in the past 6 months, and they claim 300M were due to the strikes.
Probably by AI before then though.
Right but then it would be obviously them vs having the deniability to be like "well it got spoofed by someone who knows who might have interfered in your operation hmmm??"
> Mouse interfaces are fundamentally different, because you have much more pointing precision, so it pays off to show more data on the screen. You don't have to cram your interface with with spaces to make it scan-friendly, you just use heterogeneous elements and colors.

Another massive consideration is that a mouse (and a keyboard, if you want to expand from UI to UX) pairs that precision with significantly more available control actions - LMB, RMB, MMB, scrolling, and hovering.

With a mouse, the edges and corners of the screen are the easiest and most reliable areas to interact with; this is the inverse of touchscreen UIs, in which the center of the screen is the most ergonomic area of the screen to use, and edges and corners are practically unusable, leading to large margins in almost every UI targeting them.

With controls like LMB/RMB, you can also have functionality _immediately_ available wherever the pointer is located, which is now quintessential for practically all desktop applications, and which can't be faithfully emulated with touchscreen UIs.
It did always feel like the "real" folk had some mysterious room full of hardware

I guess it was true, but so neat that they were sometimes triggering that stuff with trackers or sampling it for use within trackers (or similarly niche software)

Is it confirmed that this effect is “intentional” by evolution? Couldn’t this also just be a side effect of how the brain works which wasn’t negative enough to evolve a defense against? Maybe the neurons becoming less reliable when having too little sugar for example?

> However, I'd like to point out that the budget hawks of yesteryear (Reagan, Simpson, McCain) were at least logically consistent in that they were pro-immigration.

Being pro immigration does not mean you’re pro illegal immigration.

> The bonus to Social Security is even larger because of the undocumented population, which pays payroll taxes but is ineligible for retirement benefits. This effectively foots the bill for 2-3 million American retirees.

If they don’t have social security numbers, they’re not paying payroll taxes.
The other factor is that it’s just a job - you are not getting married! You can take their offer, and if it doesn’t work out or if something better comes along, you can just resign.

So a few weeks ago, we built an app to directly connect influencers' Instagram posts to your Shopify products.

The idea for this actually came in from our first product, which is a marketing automation tool for Instagram, where brands & creators could send the exact product/guide/recipe link to folks who commented on their post.

Saw on average 3x higher engagement & sales/lead collection via this method (as compared to link in bio). Many brands came to us that they want to do this for accounts of the influencers instead. Since that is where the main engagement comes in.

That's because national railway and other such national critical infrastructure workers like policemen, teachers, healthcare workers, etc have actual leverage. Like what are you gonna do then? You can't outsource your infrastructure maintenance, healthcare or policing to remote offshore Asian workers, but you can for other non-credentialed internet connected professions in the private sectors where the language is Englisch, which correlates to their unions being very weak in negotiation power, like IT workers for example.

The recent tanking of IT/tech jobs in some high-CoL countries has made IT workers there realized that without the low interest rates to artificially inflate the market demand, they have virtually no leverage over their employers unlike those in credentialed professions with unions.
