spectral analyzer. not sure if you need cli or batch function, but the frequency will be cut off regardless of the purported bitrate even if it was "upscaled" since those frequencies were chopped previously. you can see a sample screenshot in the upper left showing the frequency. re-encode a 320kbps to 128kbps and you can see the frequency range diminished on the 128kbps.
What I have heard from some youtubers is that those smaller trucks were lot less available. As Ford pushed bigger ones due to higher margins. So supply was limited moving people to bigger vehicles.

I’d argue that the person who lost its voice have no choice, the people choosing to draw by AI to express themselves do it by sheer laziness and to get quick gratification, but that seems what technology is mostly about, putting any effort in any pursuit is so old school.

> The Blaster rworm did not in fact make the whole earth fall apart. Stop scaremongering.

Blaster was a wake-up call, caused DDoS on servers, and kickstarted similar variants like SQL Slammer, Sasser, Conficker that hindered many services around the world. Stop dismissing real threats because you haven't personally affected by them.

If you don't like secure defaults, just turn them off. If you don't like how Windows does something, use an alternative. What dystopia are you talking about?

thank you, I needed a good belly laugh!

Windows 95 was built in 3 years and its user interface is still superior to anything they've come up since then - instant redraws, buttons respond to clicks, information was laid out as needed, not to look good in a theoretical sense, etc.

Germans are not using torrent not because they don't have the knowledge but because they will get sued unless they take other anonymization measures that cost money and slow down speed so why not just pay for Netflix. In developing countries enforcement is not so great that's all
None of them are taking on the risk of what the tenant isn't paying or you don't have one. Landlord also isn't free money. You have a lot of bills to pay.
It's not even that. Physicists can generate quadrillions of elementary particles per nanosecond and observe whatever interactions they're looking for faster than they can type up the paper. Human subject research requires recruitment, consent, IRB approval, waiting possibly decades for effects to show up. Hacker News seems to think physicists are just uniquely better scientists for some reason. They're not. Some research questions are inherently harder to answer. There is no particle collider analog that can spawn a few million humans out of thin air, give them heart disease, perform a surgery, and tell you what happens in a matter of minutes, no matter how much funding you sink into it.
And all that without even mentioning that they put cut/copy/paste on top in icon form (afaik).

I loved your book! I loved the way it reads. So fluid and interesting.
Yeah WebRTC is not a well-factored API. It's basically almost an entire end-to-end implementation of a video calling app Google acquired and bolted on the side of Chrome. If what you're making is not a straight video calling app then it's a very strange API to use. But it does work!

The problem with WebRTC for this kind of application is the need for a whole separate "signaling server" just for connection establishment, plus STUN/TURN, plus your actual application server makes three required servers. It puts a really high minimum on the complexity of any WebRTC app. For a client-server only application you might be able to combine all three servers into the same binary. I haven't seen a library that does that, but maybe it exists, I haven't looked extensively.

The HumbleNet library that I use provides an implementation of the signaling server for connection establishment, and for the client app it hides all the WebRTC complexity behind the BSD sockets API. So all you need to do is host the server.

The only crime statistic that is pretty reliable is the murder rate. The vast majority of murder victims are found.

For lesser crimes the numbers can't be trusted. Many victims don't bother to file reports because they're afraid or they don't believe that law enforcement will act. Some police forces even have an unofficial policy of discouraging victims from filing official reports in order to minimize workload and make their statistics look better.
Reasonable. Thanks for your answer.

> Under this narrative, a nation possessing advanced AI capabilities could, theoretically, gain an insurmountable military and economic advantage.

Sounds familiar. At the beginning of World War II, Nazi Germany thought their adoption of encryption was a game-changing application of industry that would provide an insurmountable military and information advantage. What they didn't know was that Poland had already cracked their encryption before the war had even begun. Everyone knows how the rest goes; Nazi Germany goes on emboldened by a broken protocol, and gets their communique leaked at every corner.

It's not hard to see the same veins in think-pieces that advocate for "infrastructure investment" (eg. buy schools NVIDIA) and "public-private partnerships" to incorporate AI everywhere. We see this technology that seems smart but is unproven in action; and our reaction is to entirely rely on it without proving the benefits. Advanced AI capability is just as they say - a narrative, a theory.

> The result resembles a 21st-century Cold War, where escalating tension and mistrust make cooperation increasingly difficult and conflict more likely.

The US has been in a Cold War with China for almost a decade now; our competition over AI is almost as irrelevant as the race to find Dodo Bird fossils. Free trade fucked the US over a long time ago, anyone that's paying attention should have expected this to boil over eventually. AI isn't even a straw on the proverbial camel's back, it's the Nvidia hardware that's a point of contention.

> A more balanced approach is needed—one that acknowledges that legitimate security concerns can be better addressed through international cooperation rather than competition, as they have been in the past.

What's really stretching my imagination, here, is that the threat of nukes is self-evident. The threat of advanced AI is not only theoretically irrelevent with current techniques, but demonstrably harmless. We've had advanced LLMs for years now and nobody has summoned Yaldabaoth with ChatGPT's secret apocrypha. We're going to be fine.

In a similar SPSC ring buffer setup I see something like 1.8ns per 16B entry without RDTSC (our design has a cached thread-local tsc that is updated periodically, so this is vaguely reasonable) or 7.6ns per entry with RDTSC (approximate RDTSC cost of 4.8ns). This is on a VM on some sort of Skylake CPU (maybe Skylake X).

One of the best roles of a good manager is insulating their employees from the political bullshit that goes on above them. One example that happened to a coworker of mine is that something happened in an open source project they were the maintainer of that caused VP-level executives to blow up at him, so the manager told them to take they day off and let him deal with angry executives instead.

As I understand it, Observable Plot also seeks to be the "higher-level abstractions on top of D3" layer.

The Vega docs address Vega vs D3 (https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/), but I don't see them compare Vega vs Observable Plot, which would seem to be a more apples-to-apples comparison.
This actually makes a lot of sense, especially in heavily populated areas. You could establish limits based on inertial mass and braking distance.
No, it doesn't. But unlike the marketing buzzword "serverless", it is honest about not requiring a server.

Not quite the same scenario, but it makes me think of how a startup I know dodged a bullet with the Silicon Valley Bank collapse [0] partly due to having some other money elsewhere Just In Case. (But in a major part due to bailouts, of course.)

Many decades ago I transfered my money from the USA to Europe. Nothinf much but I didn't want to cross borders with wads of cash even though it's perfectly legal.

I had to give my origin bank everything imaginable, including address, phone, fax of both the destination bank as well as the branch.

All of my ID obviously and the destination account number.

Weeks later I get a message from my destination branch saying they got some money in USD for someone that had a subset of my name but no account information whatsoever.

I said it was for me and thankfully that was it.

What happened?

Eventually I got something that looked like a traceroute of the transfer.

The origin bank used Citibank as an intermediary and at that step everything but the amount, name of the destination bank and my first and last name was lost.

Completely obliterated.

Never trusted them ever since.

While that is true, good team members don't interrupt each other and make sure they maximize both their individual and team interactions.

"Hey, you got 5 min" all the time is a symptom of bad communication and bad team flow. It means lots of things are not clear, often, things that can be put in a knowledge base, or batched into a longer conversation.

The price we pay as an organization when team members switch context is high, and if your culture is a culture of constant context switch, then it's not a good culture. Let's not normalize interruptions as "the price to pay" for being in a team. We can be in a team with better dynamics than that.

Interesting.

I guess since IPv6 solves the address allocation problem natively (with SLAAC), it’s not allocation you need to worry about so much as “what IP’s does this router see vs that router, recursively”, which it sounds like IS-IS can provide.

This would mean each router box in my network would grab its own random (SLAAC) address within the /64 advertised by my “main” router (found via multicast all-routers), and would then each (through IS-IS or something similar) announce and forward individual /128 routes for each host plugged into them. The network would converge such that each individual box would have a complete routing table of what next-hop to use for each IP address in the tree.

I can see this being a preferable setup if it allows you to completely eliminate layer 2 from the equation… alas this never happened so it’s all a thought exercise.

> we keep moving ever backwards

Sadly true, but if you observe a larger timeframe:

- back to Unix time, unixers say GUIs are unneeded complexity, in very little time Unix add X, not like Smalltalk workstations, but still similar, one of the first based on the current 2D graphics for documents, SunWS, or DisplayPostscript server;

- back at first Windows time, Windowser say widget based GUIs are the sole GUI needed, and that last long, but, the web 2.0, QtQuick, ... state clearly no, we can't live on widgets, and we are now essentially back to a much more complex and not much more featuresful DisplayPostscript equivalent, still a kind of DocUI like the Xerox workstations ones, only NOT moldable by end users;

- at a smaller levels menus are mostly substituted with search&narrow tools, from the "classic desktop menu" to "the dash", Android preference with a quicksearch, equally present for apps menu, failed but very good Ubuntu Unity HUD, we can go till search engine and ML (LLM, mostly) prompts, all are "back" at users entering text instead of clicking around pre-made menus;

- decades after CanonCat notes are now very common even for not so power users, and notes pale and limited automation start to appear here and there (R with Quarto, where the user write a mix of data (MD) and code (R) to generate a pdf via pandoc/LaTeX (or something similar in their backend), to Zettlr note "export template" functionalities and so on, actually is the data and code of Lisp and Smalltalk systems back then, in users hands even if that part is sometimes a bit hidden.

Long story short good ideas came back, generally only after an immense amount of time and turned into Greenspun's tenth rule bug-ridden, half-backed soups, but still they are back. So well... As the time passes "digitalization" happen and some start to think, rediscovering old concepts often not knowing they are old, but still came back. Maybe in 50+ the future web will be composed of feeds, full articles in the feed, and the same mechanism will be used for releases announcements, bug tracking, vulnerability notice and so on, as well as something equivalent of emails, equally scriptable.

For me the sole key is not losing all the past memory, so we can know how bad evolution arrives and how they disappear to collect experience and a bit at a time correcting errors.

Reading history I think this same phenomenon happen in all fields, good stuff tend to die early en masses, only few survive often badly changed, but a bit at a time died early stuff came back. Sad for the humanity, sad for those who know but at least still good for future generations.

What Happens If You Fly a Drone in an Elevator? [video]
I see they have measured improvements in the performance of some things. In particular, the camera app starts faster. Small percentage, but still real.

Curious if there are any other changes you could do based on some of those learnings? The camera app, in particular, seems like a good one to optimize to start instantly. Especially so with the the shortcut "double power key" that many phones/people have setup.

Specifically, I would expect you should be able to do something like the lisp norm of "dump image?" Startup should then largely be loading the image, not executing much if any initialization code? (Honestly, I mostly assume this already happens?)
At least they finally re-added the "feature" (after removing it after many years) to expand taskbar titles instead of forcing MacOS-like icons on the taskbar with zero information other than a barely-visible red dot when anything happens, though I don't quite understand why it's sort of hidden inside the Taskbar behaviors list (inside Taskbar settings) which is by default collapsed, whereas Taskbar items and System tray icons are always open (and IMO you don't need to mess with those settings very often, at least compared to the Taskbar behavior settings).

"of adopting these commonsense protections"

You can be 100% sure that anytime someone says "common sense" it's absolutely the opposite of that. Lawmakers love saying it, and it's a quick and easy way to know that you should disagree with whatever they are proposing.

There are exactly zero "common sense" laws that someone is going to tell you about - anything actually common sense is already enacted, or soon will be. If he needs to try to sell you on the idea, you can be certain it's exactly the opposite.
A friend of mine who works in primary care has a policy of not prescribing semaglutide unless a patient has tried at least three months of diet/exercise first. She now has a long list of patients who decide to screw that and self-refer to a specialist who'd write them the script. I don't work in primary care myself, but this more or less matches my own experience - 95% of people do not want to put in the effort of changing diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits. They want a quick fix.

The data however shows that diet and exercise fails for most people though. I don't see it as entirely irrational to go strait to the more effective drugs.
