Heh to quote Beethoven (from: https://brooklynrail.org/2007/07/music/third-party-beethoven...):

> As practice gradually moved away from this insular model, and standing, virtuoso quartets replaced ad hoc groups as the chief vehicles of chamber music performance, Beethoven’s compositions became increasingly experimental (and daunting). Legend has it that when Ignaz Schuppanzigh—a well-known Viennese violinist and Beethoven supporter—complained about a particularly difficult passage in one of the Op. 59 quartets, the master retorted, “Do you suppose I am thinking about your wretched fiddle when the spirit moves me?”

> Under international law (the real one, not the USA BS about "rules based order") unilateral sanctions are illegal.

No, they aren't, in general international law. They may be between partners in a multilateral agreement that provides trade terms, but they are specifically allowed on national security grounds within the largest such organization and the only one I am aware of where both the US and Russian Federation are members, the WTO, under GATT Article XXI(b).
> The optimizer’s behavior is in some contexts load-bearing and has little margin for error (e.g. missing an optimization).

Well, sure, sometimes, to an extent. But if it's load-bearing, maybe that's a bug? You might have written non-portable code that won't last, because it depends on an implementation detail that isn't standardized.

There are widespread applications where performance isn't critical. For example, any time you do a network request. Web pages shouldn't break because the network is slow today, if you can possibly avoid it.

The web provides no performance guarantees, but it tries pretty hard to provide compatibility guarantees. Your code should, usually, work on new browser versions and on devices that haven't been released yet. New browsers will have different JIT compilers with different performance cliffs. And yet, there are websites written many years ago that still work.

When standardizing things, we need to be precise about what's standardized and what isn't, or protocols "rust shut" and can't be changed without breaking lots of stuff. Not standardizing performance is often a win. (With some exceptions like video game consoles where the hardware is standardized.)

Hyrum's law suggests that all compiler optimizations will eventually be load-bearing for someone, but we should usually try to avoid it. To make sure that the code is robust, perhaps performance should vary. Maybe it would be useful to have something like a chaos monkey for programs, where optimizations vary based on a random seed?
It means that each federated technology creates a federation of "self-governing" entities, for example Mastodon servers. The meaning is very similar to the political meaning of the word.
This is true and one of the known limitations of PPP.

Having lived in 6+ countries (rich and poor) there is no “equivalent” across many countries.

“Shelter costs” in say the US and Laos have no equivalent. The shelter in the US is unobtainable in Laos, so saying “$30,000 spent in the US is equivalent to $1,000 spent is in Laos” is not possible.
I have been enjoying the new version that just came out yesterday, they implemented a new video player and IMHO the user experience is much improved, if the UI glitches you mentioned were related to the player, maybe you could give it a try.
https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

Iterating on an accessible color palette creator, for custom Tailwind-style palettes of multiple swatches, where you can check your colors have sufficient WCAG/ACPA color contrast on a live UI mockup. You can export the colors for use with Tailwind, CSS, Figma, and Adobe.

I started working on this because for design projects I was almost always getting handed brand style guides that were missing thought into accessible colors pairs and lacked tints/shades, where I had to fill in the gaps. There's lots of color tools out there, but this supports multiple swatches, checking the contrast of multiple color pairs at the same time and the HSLuv based color picker makes it easier to explore accessible colors.

It's really only usable on desktop right now but I'd love any feedback good or bad on if it's useful and what to work on next! There's actually a lot of directions to go in, and it's tricky to balance more features with keeping it simple.
Some tips:

- The "Load examples" menu in the top-left lets you compare the colors from Tailwind, IBM Carbon and United States Web Design System.

- The "contrast" menu lets you see how WCAG 2 contrast checks compare against APCA when "vs black/white" is turned on. WCAG 2 has known inaccuracies, especially for dark mode. APCA is the candidate contrast method for WCAG 3 that's meant to improve on this.

- Use the "..." menu to create a swatch based on a brand color.

- Use the "..." menu to "flip to dark/light palette" to create a dark theme. Or just manually flip the lightness curves horizontally.
If it helps, that cleanup is not implemented currently. I did not want the cleanup to be done as part of regular app update/delete. The plan is to add a vacuum/purge type of command, which expressly does this cleanup, and document that a database backup is good to have before running that.
> more established there is a smear campaign against him

A smear campaign forced him to assault "an off-duty police officer in a drunken argument," "illegally [enter] the United States using a friend's passport," repeatedly violate simple court orders, repeatedly libel people including children and stalk journalists [1]?

I literally asked for reputable corroboration of his accounts.

I'll file this under the category of people whose speech we are discussing because it's available, been amplified and is being reported on yelling into a microphone and/or on TV that they're being silenced. (Reminds me of South Park's "The Worldwide Privacy Tour" [2].)

Looking deeper, the guy is an entertainer. He says provactive stuff--some of it racist, some of it stupid, a little of it true (though never novel)--to an audience that wants to believe it's edgy and oppressed by supporting someone cosplaying a martyr. The role isn't unique to the right or left, but it is the domain of extremists.

Not sure who “us” is meant to be, but the first Internet boom (1995-2000) used a whole lot of Solaris, Windows, and Cisco. Of course there was plenty of OSS too, but Linux servers, or Intel servers, weren’t the standard.

I remember visiting early Hotmail and their sharded “capital unit” was a great big Sun storage server and a bunch of Intel desktop towers running BSD. The latter was considered rather wild at the time.

Last I checked, some eBay URLs still had “ebayISAPI.dll” in them, which is a remnant of that period.

One thing I'd like to hone in on is that these threads aren't intended for promotion, but rather for the just-because sort of project, driven by idle interest or weird obsession—the sort of thing people might spend their free time on.

I'm not sure yet what the official "rule" should be (if any), but if you're working on a startup or have had attention via Show HN, maybe abstain from these discussions? It wouldn't be good for the thread to get taken over by things HN already has a place for.

> it’s reasonable to argue that compelling speech that results in access to otherwise-private information that may be incriminating is _also_ a (potential) violation of self-incrimination

No? If we do that we render the term meaningless as any incriminating evidence could be termed self-incrimination.

Self-incrimination is about speech. Violations of privilege are not self incriminating. Neither is murder. Both are bad. But just because something is bad doesn't make it every specific type of bad.
I'm not so sure this is an open source NotebookLM as it is a few experiments in an iPython notebook. What NotebookLM does at an LLM level is not particularly novel, it's the packaging as a product in a different way than what others are doing that I think is interesting. Also the "podcast" bit is really just an intro/overview of a large corpus, far more useful is being able to discuss that corpus with the bot and get cited references.

What this does however demonstrate is that prototyping with LLMs is very fast. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't had a play around with APIs to give it a go.
I tried to roughly replicate the trip booking estimate but the closest I could get was a 77h trip (a bit over 3 days), with one change in Chicago and one Emeryville, CA. Price was about $1430.

In contrast to that, you can get a 7hr direct flight for about $430 (delta, round trip, luggage not included).

Or a full size sedan for about $500 (one way, 3 days, does not include estimate of $400 on fuel).

I wish trains were more affordable because (I think) the experience is worth it.
So it's fine to be a racist if you hold historical grievances?
Let me give you a clue: a Fin has no high moral ground when it comes to WWII, they were Nazi allies that had "work camps" where the death toll was on par with some Nazi death camps.
Chopin is associated with waltzes and mazurkas, both of which are dance forms in triple meter.

A mazurka will emphasize either its measures’ second beats or third beats. This might be kind of difficult to identify in Lang Lang’s interpretation, but a waltz differs from a mazurka by having a more steady tempo and by placing the emphasis on the first beat of each measure, usually matching what you were probably expecting.

I’m not sure how many of Chopin’s dance-form pieces were meant for actual dancing, but it is fairly common for composers to write according to stylistic elements of a dance form without intending the work for an actual dance.
I hope so. Commoditization should be part of every product’s lifecycle. If the incumbent can’t meet demand then that unmet demand becomes a juicy target. And if it won’t meet demand (or its prices are too high or it raises its prices to match demand to supply) then that price umbrella also creates a juicy target.

In other words, barring legal implications this is the natural order of things.

Simply inventing something should not confer the right to charge as much as one wants for it for eternity, nor the right to produce as much or as little as one wants.

And you also have to have some sympathy for the problems Chinese leadership face - what are they to do, if mind boggling amounts of things must be produced just to keep up with China’s own indistrialization? Wait around for companies to fulfill orders for foreigners and soak up the leftover capacity?

Not necessarily! If the client supports Brotli encoded data (Accept-Encoding: br), you can pass it straight through without decompressing. Ditto for gzip, or zstd for newer browsers.
Thank you for this comment.

> Maybe they could have instead worked with some local cultural organization in Poland, which could have made the debut a significant local cultural thing?

I suppose the NYTimes could not be bothered to look for someone to work with in Poland or Europe generally (France would be another option), which is, indeed, a shame. In my home town Kraków we have a wonderful chamber music collective which performs music from this very period on historical piano fortes, so very much the kind of instruments Chopin would play on himself. I contacted them immediately after reading this article and before your comment appeared. I am hopeful we will hear the piece performed by them very soon!

It may be that a commonly established convention is what's meant by a problem being 'solved'. Maybe some things could be done in many different ways that are all about as good as each other. At some point having 'a' way to do things rather than someone's arbitrary notion of the 'best' way is sufficient and trying to find some better way (that may or may not exist) is only a waste of effort.

That's true of any solvents initially trapped in the plastic, but different plastics go through different degradation processes, many of which create fresh volatiles. Celluloid and [cellulose] acetate are especially notorious because their degradation processes are autocatalytic and produce fairly aggressive volatiles that catalyze not only further degradation of the plastic but also of things like paper and lungs. I don't think you'd identify that as a "plastic smell" though.

Separately, plasticizers incorporated in many plastics ("new car smell") often continue evaporating at smellable levels for decades.
I think this is not as complicated as it sounds; it's same as how NN classifiers aren't always built to do label to image, only image to label. Being able to do former through a parallel pipeline helps(that's like GAN), but that ability isn't required in training or in inference.

Your OCR engine in the brain might generate "𰻞" for 'zh_hant_適' if reversed, doesn't mean it can't recognize the latter.

Probably. Only Americans demand accountability from governments and publicly funded international organizations. The rest of us have learned to shut up and keep our heads down, and continue to worship our masters.
> getting materials to rural places in Sub-Saharan Africa was really, really hard to do without graft along the way

"Graft" shouldn't need to be an unknown monetary amount missing from a bank account, especially for something like transporting things:

* Can they wear hidden cameras/microphones to get the amounts documented?

* Are they using local transport companies and staff or are they valiantly parading their bright white Hiluxes and Range Rovers as UN type orgs are prone to do, which attracts an undue amount of attention?

At some point the transport cost becomes a fixed cost of whatever that can at least be reported back to donors. Nobody donating to this type of cause expects transport to be a small number.

>Meanwhile airports haven’t gotten bigger and more people are flying.

This was the flawed thinking that led to the production of the a380 and its ultimate demise. It turns out that people mostly don’t like layovers and more efficient mid sized planes flying between cities people actually want to go to is much better.

I don’t have to care about the capacity of ORD when I can just fly to SFO directly from the east coast. The airports with the worst capacity problems (cough LHR) generally had that issue because they were major layover hubs too. The economics will just eliminate them as a hub and life will move on.

The 777ER came in and wrecked the other pillar supporting the layover life by opening up direct long range routes from NA to Asia that would have previously made sense on an A380 to NRT with fanouts to other destinations in Asia.

The a380 is super cool, but it is not filling a need.

This is not how you end poverty. This is how you pad the pockets of whatever entity is best positioned to receive that amount. It will promptly be flown with those people to the Dubai gold market where an all-gold suit will be purchased and the rest of the country never sees a dime.

Ultimately self sufficiency needs to be obtained in a stable and scalable way and then the proceeds can distribute across the economy better.

This is a very good article and I agree with most of it. I never really understood why React and Angular became big for the general web. They have a lot of usage in enterprise applications, where you typically access them from a “pc”, but even then they suck on the tablets your employees drive around with. At least for the most part they don’t suck that much worse than the terrible native clients that came before (and still do in the rare case that a supplier actually build a native mobile app). Why that spread to the wider web is beyond me though. I get why you would use it for personal projects if it’s your day time job anyway, but a page reload never hurt anyone.

I personally think that the most responsible “father” is finance. The article states that there is more money with the web, but in my experience it’s far easier to lock down payments through apps. I agree that part of this is because native apps are better on mobile, but they are also much easier to work with and consume. It’s not easy to make payments function well on the web while in a native app it’s just a click with well powered api behind it. Serving both users and developers. Now, it probably could be easier on the web, but who would deliver it? The article calls out Apple and to some degree Google as guilty of not making browsers competitive with mobile apps, but why would they? If anything it’s in their best interest to keep the web shitty on mobile.
It works great. I actually build it for a few friends initially and now I have about a hundred people using it, mostly for personal web pages (which it was designed for), but not only. I also use it to manage the websites of my uni department and research group for example, at https://informatique.up8.edu/ [website is in french].

Source code is available here if you wanna take a look: https://code.up8.edu/pablo/cigala

A warning: the code is not written to be pretty, it's written to be simple and effective. The initial goal being to have the whole software in a single PHP file that could even be used offline to produce a fully static website.
If you’re talking about autovectorization in C++ then you have the option of using intrinsics to get real vector code. So I think that’s fine because you have a way to tell the compiler, “I really want simd”.

Generally speaking, decreasing inflammation in your body. Can google how to reduce inflammation.
The error lies in thinking they're 'real' systems to be taken for granted and blindly reasoned forward from, instead of sometimes-helpful academic categorizations.

You can always factor things into groups. e.g. 'Thoughts about now vs thoughts about the future'. Extending that to say there are therefore two modes of thinking and that the brain must handle your two groups differently, at some fundamental or physiological level, and there are only these two modes and all things are either one or the other ... is perhaps quite misguided without more support.

Why would we believe otherwise? The evidence suggests that replacing butter with margarine reduces LDL-c (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9771853/), and we have an enormous body of evidence showing that LDL-c is a causal agent in atherosclerosis (https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/38/32/2459/374510...).

So why wouldn’t replacing butter with margarine be a positive step for one’s cardiovascular risk profile?
