I love music archivists, and there's an active bunch of them on reddit.

I remember this gem about a guy who had been searching for 15 years for a song that he had recorded off of Ian Camfield's XFM rock show.

https://old.reddit.com/r/NameThatSong/comments/58gt5d/ill_be...

After crowd-pooling the discernible lyrics, and a brief exchange with Ian Camfield himself (who had since relocated to the US), the search petered out.

Then one day, the artist themself just randomly uploaded the song.

Apparently they made a single debut, and then the lead singer went off to become a dentist.
Notably the open source foundation tried and failed to trademark the term open source in 1999.

As such “by definition a NC license can’t be open source” is true only by certain definitions. Open source is a generic term, not owned by the OSI, despite the holy wars fought over it.

I realize my post is controversial and may spur vitriol from some. It is an uncomfortable truth for many.

For a while now I just assume anything that is used/allowed in Russia and/or China is only because those states have access to the contents. They are advanced and powerful enough to ban and create alternatives. So Russia probably can access whatsapp messages. Meaning that any three letter agency can do that as well.

> nor do they respond "Sorry, you're right, 1+1=3, my mistake" without some discernible reason.

Look up the Asch conformity experiment [1]. Quite a few people will actually give in to "1+1=3" if all the other people in the room say so.

It's not exactly the same as LLM hallucinations, but humans aren't completely immune to this phenomenon.

But presumably now the SGX root key is published, anyone can still do all of the above, but in a simulated machine rather than on legit intel hardware, which means they see everything that SGX is supposed to hide from them.
This is a really good question and I’m not qualified to answer it, other than to say “it can be done!” Alan Kay is an example of someone who has a great intuition for answering this kind of question.

My general opinion is that a great coach/mentor can “see” your errors and doesn’t just know what you’re doing wrong but what the best next step is from where you are, to learn the thing that is holding you back.

Deliberate practice never feels easy. You’re always pushing the boundary of what you’re capable of. And you keep going back for more.

Where there are a lot of different styles of doing a thing “well” (e.g. first class lawyer, teaching, writing, 99% of things ) you’ll need to progress through a wider series of different mentors/coaches, sort of “earning” the mentorship of a “better” coach is a good goal in any field.

In fields like you describe it’s not a simple ladder, more like a branching tree of ladders. You’re goal is not just higher and higher but learning (by climbing) where and who is a mentor for you.

A more comparable example, is France going to arrest someone who maintains a printer in an office and knows an employee is printing CSAM but doing nothing about it?

I hope they would, this is the boat Telegram is in.
Ok, not 100%. Human Factors can be critical in a lot of cases. Similar to security, designers try to eliminate the system's reliance on human actions wherever possible.

Still though, security is fighting against an opponent who searches for weak points and exploits them to the max. "Safety" protects against random natural accidental events (either internal or external in origin). If someone is just trying to get home, they want to get the job done quickly sure, but their intent is not to cause damage, their actions aren't targeted. It's a different risk profile.
There was a HN discussion some time ago about choosing a textbook that is optimal for oneself (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41016650), and this passage from the answer about deliberate practice stuck out to me:

In the field of talent development, there is absolutely no debate about the most superior form of training. It's deliberate practice: mindful repetition on performance tasks just beyond the edge of one's capabilities.

Deliberate practice is about making performance-improving adjustments on every single repetition. Any individual adjustment is small and yields a small improvement in performance – but when you compound these small changes over a massive number of action-feedback-adjustment cycles, you end up with massive changes and massive gains in performance.

Deliberate practice is superior to all other forms of training. That is a "solved problem" in the academic field of talent development. It might as well be a law of physics. There is a mountain of research supporting the conclusion that the volume of accumulated deliberate practice is the single biggest factor responsible for individual differences in performance among elite performers across a wide variety of talent domains. (The next biggest factor is genetics, and the relative contributions of deliberate practice vs genetics can vary significantly across talent domains.)
Since you chose Harry Potter specifically: the official Spanish translations were always released several months behind the US. Therefore fan groups gathered to make their own versions by scanning the originals on release night, splitting the chapters among subgroups, translate them in parallel, and then merge them back together. All of this in less than a week.

So while certainly not the case for most books, if you have a pirate Harry Potter then there's a fair chance that an actual human did the translation.

Unrelated, sometimes I'd get a fake unofficial chapter and then I'd have to decide on-the-fly whether Draco undressing Harry felt in line with J.K. Rowling's universe so far.
Yes they do exist. On the one hand this is great but on the other hand it also also generates waste, both in terms of resources and time.

I went to university in France when it was both free (still basically is) with no selection for entry and the amount of waste was huge for no benefit to anyone... well except for official stats because "I'm not unemployed, I'm a student"...
That's fine. That's still a step beyond just "linear algebra".
It's because the primary purpose of these institutions is cultural filtering. The only reason we have name brand unis is to sort and filter people into a very small (i.e. 1%) cultural/economic elite. The point is for you to go "ooh, stanford" or "ooh harvard" when you meet a partner at a big law firm, VC, or hedge fund.

In order for there to be a 1% there must necessarily be a 99%. The percentages are fixed; they always will be. Acceptance rates (public, reported) tend towards the filtering rate (implicit, hidden) as the college educated in the broader population tends towards 1.

Look at the endowments of these institutions. They are comparable in magnitude to elite hedge funds and VCs.

Of course they do top research and learning as well -- but only because they must. Under the old system, which worked simple, you'd be selected for an Ivy based on your blood relations and receive no education at all (for a recent example of this, Brett Kavanaugh: Supreme Court Justice).

I guess it is an improvement on the old system that these places offer a "world-class education" ** to at least some of their students; and that some of their students are pleased to receive it.

** whatever that means. My degree isn't printed on vellum Ivy league stationary, only the coarse public Ivy stuff (public Ivy: isn't that an interesting turn of phrase?); but I received the finest education of my academic career from a California community college. My classmates were navy veterans, part time auto mechanics, and young single parents.

As I've heard it explained, RISC in practise is less about "an absolutely minimalist instruction set" and more about "don't add any assembly programmer conveniences or other such cleverness, rely on compilers instead of frontend silicon when possible".

Although as I recall from reading the RISC-V spec, RISC-V was rather particular about not adding "combo" instructions when common instruction sequences can be fused by the frontend.

My (far from expert) impression of RISC-V's shortcomings versus x86/ARM is more that the specs were written starting with the very basic embedded-chip stuff, and then over time more application-cpu extensions were added. (The base RV32I spec doesn't even include integer multiplication.) Unfortunately they took a long time to get around to finishing the bikeshedding on bit-twiddling and simd/vector extensions, which resulted in the current functionality gaps we're talking about.

So I don't think those gaps are due to RISC fundamentalism; there's no such thing.

Probably true now, but in ye olde days, some instructions existed primarily to make assembly programming more convenient.

Assembly programming is a real pain in the RISCiest of RISC architectures, like SPARC. Here's an example from https://www.cs.clemson.edu/course/cpsc827/material/Code%20Ge...:

• All branches (including the one caused by CALL, below) take
place after execution of the following instruction.

• The position immediately after a branch is the “delay slot” and
the instruction found there is the “delay instruction”.

• If possible, place a useful instruction in the delay slot (one which
can safely be done whether or not a conditional branch is taken).

• If not, place a NOP in the delay slot.

• Never place any other branch instruction in a delay slot.

• Do not use SET in a delay slot (only half of it is really there).
This is one of those cases where finding someone that already _is_ what you're looking for and get (meaningful) mentorship from them can shortcut your progress.

You can most definitely figure out the path yourself, find out what practice exercises and knowledge are required and then go for it and adjust as necessary. However this is much more labor and time intensive than having someone highly skilled, that has essentially already been there, point out your weak points.

Music as you mention is very stereotypical in this, where a good instructor can quickly point out the exercises you need for your specific style and instrument, however very rarely does this apply to full professions and careers, where you know from the get go what you want to be a Lawyer specializing in mergers and acquisitions of overseas companies in the chip manufacturing industry.
>I don't even know a reason to use FreeBSD

That's funny because i don't even know a reason to use Linux these days.

And since there is the Linux-Foundation who invests whopping 5% of their money into the Linux Kernel, an opensource alternative is always good to have.

Edit: Correction it's not 5% but less then 3%
Studies are easiest to perform on topics with easy to measure results.

But in most any field, if you’re genuinely interested in the field, you will be aware of people who you consider to be better than you. Even if it’s a highly subjective field, as you learn your taste/appreciation grows and you get a clearer picture of what you consider “better”. Those are your potential pool of coaches/mentors. You don’t have to pick just one, either.

>and they seem to be intentionally masking the fact that she has no real policies or any sort of platform

She doesn't need one: the fact that she's not Trump, and she's not old enough to be senile or on death's door, is all she needs for most voters. It's not like the Democratic Party had a bunch of other viable candidates in a position to mount a presidential campaign this close to the election.

If you want to criticize the US for having a crappy FPTP election system that basically guarantees only two viable parties on the national stage, that's fair, but that's not the fault of journalism outlets, it's baked into the Constitution and other legislation.

<The real threat, the known threat to state security is Trump, because he and his followers are crazy. If the NSA, and other intelligence agencies, had any influence on the election...

Also, those news outlets may very well have their own agenda they're pushing, without any help from the intelligence agencies or anyone else: back in 2015, the media did help to make Hillary look bad. Perhaps they're blaming themselves partially for Trump getting elected, so this time around they want to make sure they don't turn off voters to the non-crazy candidate just because she isn't perfect. (And granted, Kamala doesn't have nearly as much baggage as Hillary did, which helps a lot.)
Interesting. I have long thought the word “celerity” to be a beautiful word.
A minor point to feed back: for me, https://www.buttondown.com/ fails to load, while https://buttondown.com/ works.
The pricing page (in the FAQ section) has a "c..e@buttondown.email" address, so the grep must not have been complete :-)

(I've migrated a domain from .io to .com, I can relate)

I'm a possible customer, so I looked at the service and its pricing page and… I'm not sure if this is a service for me. I send both transactional and non-transactional E-mail, but I don't need "list management", just E-mail processing. Buttondown would be $29/month + $50/month for whitelabeling, while Postmark would be $15/month. Am I missing something?

> International visitors will be greatly disappointed at how terrible this country’s public transportation infrastructure

The 2026 World Cup will be the first hit. People from all around the world will have to go to stadia in the middle of nowhere in seas of parking lots, without any or any good transit options for getting there. Combine with the very expensive prices of everything, local cultural expectations that will not sit well with everyone (tipping iPads for self-servicing yourself), and I personally think a lot of people will absolutely hate it, which will also cloud the Olympics' perception before they even start.

As a fan of Sparklines (and Tufte in general), I have to shout out to one of my favourite places that sparklines have been used - in sudara's Audio Sparkline library for the popular JUCE Audio processing framework:

https://github.com/sudara/melatonin_audio_sparklines

The reason this is such a nerd tickle, is that sudara even went as far as to teach lldb how to render arrays' using sparklines, meaning one can get a pretty useful clue about the contents of an audio buffer within the debugger:

https://forum.juce.com/t/new-audio-sparklines-module/46606

This, to me, aligns very much with the "Tao" of sparklines - although of course I've modified my local copy to use unicode fonts, which is either heinous or fabulous, depending on how much coffee I've had before I have to hit up lldb for details about why my day is going to be good/bad... ;)
It's great to see the rapid iteration on this. Congratulations on the adoption so far!

AI as a Scrum Team Member

Not small instruction sets, simplified instruction sets. RISC’s main trick is to reduce the number of addressing modes (eg, no memory indirect instructions) and reduce the number of memory operands per instruction to 0 or 1. Use the instruction encoding space for more registers instead.

The surviving CISCs, x86 and z390 are the least CISCy CISCs. The surviving RISCs, arm and power, are the least RISCy RISCs.

RISC V is a weird throwback in some aspects of its instruction set design.

I'm not sure you can run Wine natively to run x86 Windows programs on RISC-V because Wine is not an emulator. There is an ARM port of Wine, but that can only run Windows ARM programs, not x86.

Instead box64 is running the x86_64 Wine https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/blob/main/docs/X64WINE.md
