It doesn't really work like any other DAW.

It has a strong focus on composing sheet music, as opposed to recording and producing full tracks.

Too bad that you don't like what some other people say or write. That's what public discourse is, most things said will be things you don't agree with. And since you're neither God nor the Supreme Ruler, you don't have the right to silence anybody else.
Those aren't Confederate flags!

As my history teacher explained to me, back in the day, a small offshoot of Confederates had it with the war. They were weary. They were exhausted. And so, as many American hippies and conscientious objectors have done in the past, they decided to flee to Canada.

At this time however, they were worried about passing through Yankee territory, and also about their own troops shooting them for desertion. So, cleverly they modified their flag, and their uniforms, in subtle yet not quite discernible ways.

When approached, they would hold up their hands and describe at great length that the flag was much like the Ship of Theseus, each thread had been carefully replaced, and that their philosophical belief was that it therefore was not a Confederate flag. It may seem and look as such, but it as most certainly not! "What!", they would decry at such statements, "Are you ignorant louts! Have you no philosophical roots?", and so soldiers would feel great shame, and let them pass.

Thus after much hardship they managed to cross the border, settle down in a small town. I'm sure the flag you saw was probably only isolated to that one rural town though, but even so it just looked like a Confederate flag. It was instead copied from that other, unique flag.

Not necessarily. The LLM doesn't know what it can answer before it tries to. So in some cases it might be better to make an attempt and then later characterize it as a hallucination, so that the error doesn't spill over and produce even more incoherent nonsense. The chatbot admitting that it "hallucinated" is a strong indication to itself that part of the previous text is literal nonsense and cannot be trusted, and that it needs to take another approach.
We know that LLMs hallucinate, but we can also remove them.

I’d love to see a future generation of a model that doesn’t hallucinate on key facts that are peer and expert reviewed.

Like the Wikipedia of LLMs

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.17642

That’s a paper we wrote digging into why LLMs hallucinate and how to fix it. It turns out to be a technical problem with how the LLM is trained.

I withhold any opinion on your health care; I've heard negatives, sure, but I've got no skin in the game. Philosophically I like it better than what we're doing in the US, even if the results have been lackluster so far.

Paraphrasing a known saying, "there's no API, it's just someone else's computer".

I wish programmers would internalize this. They often seem to take APIs uncritically, not questioning whose resources they're using and where does the data come from as well as its quality beyond obvious cases. APIs are leaky abstractions as all abstractions are.

No, they pretty much gave up on winforms when .net core morphed into "the" .net that is cross platform. There are some nice crossplatform gui libs now though.
You are expected to use Avalonia or Uno for multi-platform targeting or Gir.Core (GTK4) or one of the many other binding libraries for Linux-specific GUI.

Also very easy to throw something together on top of SDL2 with Silk.NET.

Practically speaking it is in a much better place than many languages considered by parts of Linux community to be more """linux-oriented""".

Why would Facebook be relevant for consuming anything non-Facebook?
Right. In my opinion, the 'fair' and 'simple' thing to do would be to eliminate the estate tax, and the step-up basis. Then there would be no loop hole to borrow against unrealized gains (and no real point to do so), while still allowing wealth to be enjoyed by the family that generated it, requiring them to pay taxes in the same way everyone else does (simplifying the tax code).

> I don't. The actual numbers, both in my example and yours, are almost irrelevant.

So why would you make them less relevant? With semver packages that do proper versioning actually communicate something meaningful and for packages that don't do proper versioning it's just a number like in your proposal.

> Your example only communicates more info if you know what constitutes a major and minor release for that specific project

For semver that is defined and even if only loosely followed still gives an indication of the intention.

> My example sorts nicely.

Use sorting that understands the context. `sort -h` works for bash. For v0.0.0-alpha1 and similar stuff date-versioning does not help either.

> Looks pretty.

Subjective and not useful.

> Gives you an idea at a glance how old and busted your stuff is

That assumes that every library/package needs constant updates. Many packages only needs updates every couple of years. Nothing about how "busted" your stuff is is communicated.

---

I still don't understand why you consider release date something that is meaningful to communicate in the version? Even if the author is wrong about compatibility 99% of the time it would still be better to use semver than date-versioning since it would still give you an indication of if the author feels the compatibility is broken. Date just says the date, which is meaningless for compatibility or features.
It's surely already happening now. Nietzsche worried about The Last Man, well, I think we've reached and passed The Last Dataset. Everything from here on out has some subset of once-digested AI slop, and each iteration will include more and more. Like an image that's bounced back and forth between two mirrors, we'll get further and further from ground truth. Maybe everything will tend towards the latent space equivalent of a grey blob.
yeah, i have the same problem. it's been hanging for almost an hour for me now. probably an infinite-loop bug rather than a working but slow algorithm?
Good to know, for some reason my sort sets to `Date modified (newest first)` which seems bad also and I'm certain I never set it this way intentionally, but I guess that explains the issue and I was wrong that they have entirely let this problem languish. Thanks.
You can absolutely work as a professional writing code for 20 years and never work on a large software project or a project with a large team.

I worked on a small team at a government contractor that never used version control and deployments were an rsync from the lead engineer’s laptop to the cloud, this was in 2020.

There’s a lot of industries like bioinformatics or journalism where there’s people who are adept at writing code but who are not doing software engineering.
> Typically nuclear/renewables is not used with storage at all, it's instead used for baseload/cheap-n-clean-load with the peaks/firming handled by other types of primary generation, traditionally natural gas or non-pumped hydro that dams a river.

But we're trying to get rid of fossil fuels. If you have enough primary generation from hydro dams or something else that doesn't emit carbon to reliably handle the whole grid then that would be the entire solution by itself. There aren't enough suitable hydro sites to handle the whole grid, which means only needing half as many (or only needing enough storage to make up the difference against half as many) is quite an advantage.

> Nuclear can trip out in seconds or be put offline by fault investigations or fuel reloading, so you need alternative generation with enough capacity to supply the whole grid at any given time, and enough storage and or firming to be able to do this for a week or more in the event that nuclear generation is low for an extended period of time (like France the other year).

You're talking about an individual nuclear plant rather than the whole grid. One plant out of dozens or hundreds being temporarily offline is not a big deal, and refueling in particular is easy because it can be scheduled for seasons when power demand is lower.

The issue with renewables is that it can be night or cloudy or still across thousands of square miles at once, and then low generation periods correlate across the whole grid instead of being isolated to an individual plant, and happen randomly based on weather rather than having any ability to be scheduled.
Sure nobody says slurs. But I see misogyny and what I would classify as racist every time I'm on hackernews.

It's a combo of AI making it easy to flood the feed with engagement-bait (that you aren't interesting in engaging in) and users who post stuff you would engage with leaving the service or simply not posting that stuff anymore.

What's frustrating about Meta, and probably other companies that run social media sites, I'm sure, is that no matter how many times I swipe away posts I don't like on Threads, which is marked as a signal to show me fewer posts like this, I still get served similar posts or posts from the same account. Blocking takes too many pokes, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. :)

I'd suggest it's because the public discourse around these things are dominated by the talking points pushed by those same groups.

They may not be the only driver of that discourse, or even the primary origin, but they're arguably the face of that viewpoint.

The whole point of .NET-Core was to remove all the (largely desktop-oriented) platform-specific dependencies that tied it to Windows, so you could run server-oriented .net programs on Linux. So no, afaik you can't simply run GUI apps built with .Net on Linux desktops - that's the reason Mono wasn't simply killed, because it covers that niche (which wouldn't even exist, were it not for Mono/Xamarin's efforts back then. But I digress...). Nowadays there are a few other attempts at providing that UI layer.

Aside from my notoriously illegible handwriting (which becomes even worse after just a few seconds, but more on that later), my main gripe with using paper is that I end up with smudges all over my hand—being left-handed doesn’t help. The smudging often makes my already hard-to-read handwriting even more of a mess. (This issue even contributed to my struggles in English classes back then.)

These days, the only time I use pen and paper is during language interpretation sessions. It helps me retain very short-term memory, but afterward, I can hardly make sense of any of the notes I took.

For everything else, I rely on apps. I currently use OneNote. I've tried various solutions, but I found OneNote strikes the best balance between online and offline functionality—it’s saved me many times in situations with spotty or slow international roaming.

> ... "so people can compare realize what an difference that makes."

It makes zero difference, because the people who could change the course of all this aren't listening at all to those who speak up, regardless of what is said or how it's said. They're firmly convinced that money is literally more important than any life (even their own), and no words can or will change their minds. Literal decades of inaction despite growing numbers of actual climate scientists speaking up about the issue has proven this.
I'd like to hear more about this and how you know it.
There are some people there who are good; but most of the courses there are quite bad. Which ones you tried, if I may ask? I'm curious.

We actually do have a bill of rights. It predated the charter but basically had no teeth, so its largely ignored. It does have slightly more rights than the charter.

Laws (both federal & provincial) have to follow the charter (unless the notwithstanding clause is invoked). For the canadian bill of rights, basically any ambiguities in federal laws are supposed to be interpreted to be consistent with it, but it cant override anything. Which is pretty damn useless and the reason the charter was created.
People who install a tooth brushing app will probably buy all kinds of electronics stuff, so I'd wager that such a list would be somewhat valuable.
As an immigrant to Canada, I don't think Canadians think of themselves as Americans, but they are way too much affected by what is happening in the US.

I bet if you rated all countries in the world by how much common people know and spend time looking at the internal politics of neighboring countries, Canada would be easily top 5. On the other hand, most countries outside North/South America have thousands of years of shared history, unlike the 3-4 hundred ones by (non-native) Americans.

In my opinion, Canadian should stop with this obsession and engage more with local politics.

It depends a bit on what you want to do. I made one attempt where I needed to carry a 'arena lifetime everywhere which was really tricky. A second attempt was to tag the Value internally with an ever increasing ID of arenas. However the latter becomes dangerous very quickly because nothing binds them together and you end up with a lot of unsafe code and I had no trust in my creation.
My analysis it that it is a plot by a company that makes "child proofing" gadgets. People are having fewer children, so sales of child-proofing gadgets are falling. People are keeping dogs and cats as pets instead, but neither dogs nor cats have the dexterity to make child-proofing gadgets a must-have pet accessory. Pet Raccoons could save the child-proofing gadget industry, with only a minor pivot to tougher, gnaw resistant gadgets.
This is 1000% correct. Canada is definitely not defined by "being American", or as Peter Zeihan would say: "passive-aggressively not-American".

Of course, when you're a small nation right next to the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it's easy to have your media sphere be overwhelmed by the glut coming from south of the border. This is especially true as institutions like the CBC and NFB have come into increasing irrelevance while the internet replaces them. But this should not be misinterpreted as the country missing an identity or viewing itself as the same as the USA - that's simply not the case.

On a casual viewing, the similarity of external culture looks the same: we have the same shops, the same ugly modern strip malls, etc. We mostly look at talk somewhat the same, certainly in urban centers. But when you dive into the heart of our cultures, we had very different histories, and that's reflected in some big societal discrepancies. The USA is a bit of an outlier in a number of ways, and in many ways Canada resembles Scandinavian countries more than the USA.
