Very nice write up! It makes even more sense if you compare with Azure and see that they have the same kind of offering with the exact same breakdown, i.e. Azure Database for PostgreSQL/MySQL which is the managed relational database solution, Azure SQL databases which is the in-house one (i.e. SQL Server modified for Cloud) and promise cheaper/faster/higher HA because that's their own opinionated technology, with serverless and hyperscale (i.e. limitless) configuration options. They don't have DSQL equivalent yet, but their NoSQL offer (Cosmos DB) already have SQL query language support and with some modifications & improvements could be their "best of all worlds" equivalent.
> It isn't lethal directly at levels used in many industrial processes

Other than production itself. I was assuming that was our starting point. The TFA mentions some sources but does not limit exposure to only these indirect sources, nor does the EPA study.

> but exposure over a long time does increase cancer risk and fatality risk

Which is relative to the actual industry. The plants where formaldehyde is produced is likely highest in danger. It's also somewhere that you can easily see some changes in production process could actually measurably save whole numbers of lives within the next decade.

Likewise since it's produced and added intentionally to glues and finishes it's entirely possible it could be eliminated from the supply chain particularly in products that diffuse it out poorly before reaching the customer. Where not possible the products could be held and treated in such a way to extract and filter out the compound.

It's just weird to go "well.. the first world apparently requires human sacrifice" especially in the face of so many options. Anyways.
Yea Germany quitting all nuclear comes to mind…
The point about the chart is that each one of those technologies (some more than others) brought a corresponding obligation to raise our standards of thought: and all of those obligations were shirked.
Awesome! It's nice to see how AI can be used for learning purposes. It changes from all the negative things we hear about it :)

Making lows mono doesn't sound better (although sometimes it can make the bass seem less muddy, but if you have muddy stereo bass you'd normally fix that too). Some of the highs and lows come back in the pressing. You cut more in the vinyl master only for them to be recovered somewhat in the pressing. You don't get it all back, so the effect I guess has an element of the unknown. Thought I'd just clarify that.

The distortion and chorusing are definitely aspects of 'warmth' too. So, it's not just about the highs and lows. Producers absolutely try to 'warm up' their digital sound sources, stems, and masters with harmonic distortion. I guess you'll always get a bit more with vinyl.

I think some of this is the culture of the industry itself. The major recording studios, engineers, etc. were on a 'war against distortion and noise' from the early 50s. Then digital came along and suddenly it was possible to have low-noise floors and pretty much zero distortion through digital sound sources (plugins).

Because digital was deemed to be 'cold', there has been a bit of a backlash against that in the past decade or so:

* Major mixing console manufacturers, like SSL, after decades of trying to make their mixers as clean as possible are now releasing desks like the Origin [1] which are throwbacks to their late 70s desks. Every classic compressor, EQ, delay, flanger, phaser... from the 50s onwards, still exists either in original form or cloned-form. People are still buying the equipment of the past to make music. And digital plugin manufacturers are stil releasing plugins that try to emulate the old gear.

* New genres appeared like 'lo-fi' [2] that actively does what you say. It tries to degrade the sound for digital too.

* The fact that vinyl isn't just still here, but resurgent, is I guess more evidence of that.

But I still think, to a certain extent, that professionals in the industry want to use the full range and accept that some of it will be lost with a vinyl press. Brighter music is perceived to be louder, so on a radio or something like that, it will cut through better and be more likely to be noticed. I think the recent end of the 'loudness wars' [3] may well see some changes toward releases with different EQ curves.

I own over 10,000 records. I don't buy them because they're 'warmer', I buy them for the UX! I have a terrible memory, but I remember the sleeve of every record I own. I don't know what they're called, just "it's the green one"! I think the warmth argument is slightly overplayed, but I also understand why subliminally people might feel that records are subjectively better because of it.

A framework build is a specific build of Python to make it work like a .framework on macOS. The original motivation of this was that you can also ship frameworks within .app bundles but the Python framework build has hardcoded paths so you cannot really do it.

One of the consequences of framework builds is that they have a different layout than a regular Python installation on the file system. The Python installer will also litter a bunch of files into /Applications which makes installing competing versions surprisingly annoying.

In theory a framework build of Python would be preferrable but the framework build would have to become fully relocatable for that benefit to pay off. They are not today.

> almost everyone except politicians is critical of big corporation

I think that is the critical point.

Big corporations are good at lobbying. They shape policy. Politicians do not only like big corporations, they allow them a lot of influence, so they can shape policy to advantage themselves against smaller competitors.

I think is the unreasonable ammounts that people end up paying in US that make it crazy to understand for non US.

For me as an European, i see anything related to healthcare as core to our society. You mention food, if i dont like an apple from a vendor i can just have another fruit that is cheaper this season. I wouldn't have that choice to change meds for my current ilnesses.

Yeah sure someone has to pay for it, but do meds need a 10000x markup compared to the 2x markup on food? US is such an advanced country in terms of science and tech that is scary to think people still die due to not being able to pay their cancer treatment.
> Frontend security issues do exist and can be big problems.

Citation needed.

> Especially in SPA designs where the frontend runs a massive in-memory database of an entire application state

How is that more relevant for security issues? Common Frontend Security issues are traditionally xss, csrf, token/session theft etc. Lot of those attack vectors have been severely weakened with modern browser security settings (Content-Security-Policy, HttpOnly cookies, SameSite=strict etc.). Eager to hear how a view router (wouter) or a server-state-management system (react-query) in the FE are likely to have security wholes in that field.
> Affinity

Just remember the line number you're on, rather than the byte. You already agreed for the cursor to operate in 2D space when storing the x-position. Also, you shouldn't operate on bytes, but on grapheme clusters, which solves the emoji problem.

> Emoji Modifiers

Come on, just don't allow a skin tone modifier to modify a newline, that's silly. Allow it to modify only what you can support it modifying, so emojis with alternate skin colors. The problem is what if you want to modify grapheme clusters, IMHO you should have a small (like with autocomplete suggestions) "magnifying" popup , where the cursor continues to move as it pauses in the main text, this however would be tricky to implement for a mouse - you can control and move the mouse but it may be annoying to many users; speaking of which...

> Bidirectional Text

"Proper" bidi behavior I find very confusing and annoying, with the selection splitting. IMHO there should be main text body with some direction, and within it *embeds*, and those embeds are selected in its entirety (you usually would select part of text body with the entire quote). Now you don't have surprising, unintuitive behavior of selection, and the implementation is easy. Of course embeds can have embeds within them, and if you start selection within the embed, you now treat it as full text body, allowing to select a fragment of it. The moment you leave the embed while dragging your mouse, the whole embed is selected (but just like with x-position, the selection anchor is remembered if you return to the embed), similarly to how the whole word is selected when you start selecting it but then move outside the word in Microsoft Office Word. And if you really need to select a fragment of the embed + something else, just select whole embed + something else, copy, paste, and delete the fragment you don't want and deal with it.
BGM channel is more a cover band than a radio station. I don’t know the details, but it is my impression that YouTube strikes are for copyrighted _recordings_ and not copyrighted written music.

In the same vain, I think that lo fi is more a DJ (in the modern musician sense) that was good at automating and promoting himself rather than someone choosing other people’s recordings. I don’t know the sample sources at all
Well, it says 'pilot version' so maybe there will be a more definitive version later that is available in more languages.

Less than 12 to my ears.

I always observed that the number of random non-musicians who can get it right using the "major" handful of those twelve keys is remarkable enough to be considered.

Since those are the only 12 notes so many people have been hearing from every direction for so long, and truly confined to not more than a few of the major keys that are "dominant" as a result of modern instrumentation, it gets ingrained in the psyche and the notes are almost memorized by frequency. With nothing in-between, so that's what they reproduce without any training. Or can have a more sensitive ear for out-of-tune notes than an actual music student of a number of years.

I agree, it doesn't happen magically.

It just happens about any time naturally.
> but there is indeed a discontinuity in your consciousness when you sleep.

Yet you dream and can remember your dreams. Your dreams can be influenced by things occurring around you in your sleep. Some people do this on purpose and find that they are more reliably able to do it with practice. So how are you defining "discontinuity?" I don't see one at all.

> arising from a copy of your brain on first "restart".

You're rather certain of the semantics of something that does not exist and that you haven't described any sort of process for. What if you can initiate a copy while I'm awake? Am I required to be asleep or sedated into an artificial coma in order to make this copy? Why is that so? Are my short term memories excluded? Is my stomach equally full? Do I have the same wounds? Do I need to pee?

> So how do you reconcile this discontinuity?

How do you explain sleep walking? Or narcolepsy. In your model of discontinuities?
Well said, my friend. Thank you very much.

Yes, changing incentives is the easiest way to provide a proper carrot to help people choose a better way.

And let's not forget that disincentivizing our leaders from being corrupt bastards is the proper use of the stick as well.
If you ever find yourself on a lifeboat in the middle of the sea, it might save your life.
It's interesting to view the story systematically—policymakers likely aimed to reduce short-term rentals. Instead of using taxes or permits, they targeted a step in the system that’s easier to enforce.

This approach, where actions & policies aren't directly tied to outcomes, is rare in current discourse and strategy-making.
Why is AC/DC “dumber” than, I assume, a fantastic classic musician? I used to think that these artists are riff-riff, but they all turned out to be masters of their art and, ignoring the pop/rock/etc flavor and type, they may actually surpass the genius of a violin virtuoso. Quite a claim you’re making here, assuming that AC/DC popularity was due to “dumbness” overall and that it’s “fine”. It’s not fine, it’s the same step on the ladder. I find this facet of a deep-shallow distinction completely synthetic and (imo) coming from a limited technical-ish view on music. Vivaldi, AC/DC, Blackpink — it’s all an art of a genius level, just differently flavored.
The parent comment is inflammatory. That said, moving anything in the Python project requires a lot of energy, there is high friction and it's probably not wise to try to do that until something has established itself outside.

The discussions around lockfiles, dynamic metadata or PyBI (the PEP that wanted to address what python-build-standalone does) are good examples of how hard it is to cause change in that space.

It's only 4 hours? I expected it to be longer, even for an introductory course.

Anyway, it's a great effort! And it makes me happy to see how seriously they take it.

Since I have near 0 knowledge in the matter, I might actually take it.

Why is everything turning into subscription based? I understand that it is more favorable for the creator but I can't imagine having to pay monthly for everything I use. Imagine one day when my economy gets strangled, do I loose everything I can't afford subscribe to anymore?

Nothing new, Marqo has been doing this for a while now with their all in one platform to train, embed, retrieve, and evaluate.

I've played around with Weaviate & Astra DB but Marqo is the best and easiest solution imo.

A few years ago there was definitely document processing automation and query based filtering but still alot of human work.

I assume you’re right and AI now does some of the work but I doubt all of it. Also how reliable would the AI be… you’d hate to not have critical evidence at trial because you trusted the AI fully and it missed something.

It is not stacked. It is multirank. Stacking means putting multiple layers on the same chip. They are already doing it for HBM. They will likely do it for other forms of DRAM in the future. Samsung reportedly will begin doing it in the 2030s:

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/samsung-outl...

I am not sure why they can already do stacking for HBM, but not GDDR and DDR. My guess is that it is cost related. I have heard that HBM reportedly costs 3 times more than DDR. Whatever they are doing to stack it now that is likely much more expensive than their planned 3D fabrication node.
I'm going to say it is efficiency and the ability to implement ideas well, even if they are stolen ideas, that account for more of the success for anything else.

I also bet they did come up with some small things here and there themselves, in the process of implementing stolen ideas, because often things become apparent at the moment of implementation.
If it is possible can you share an example/samples integrating the mentioned libraries. I’m starting to learn LiveView again, mostly want to use aggrid and other custom libraries. An article highlighting the possibility and pointers to samples would greatly help everyone in this space.
Also gotta think of what else is using the corporate internet pipe you can’t drown it in one aws upload for days.

Spider plants too maybe ? AFAIK they are the champs at removing organic volatiles.

Germany does rather well. Though the paper is 6 years old (and based on numbers even older) and the number of bike accidents in Germany have gone up since then.
Adding a language does not exclude another? I completely understand that you do the videos in English and for adult audience that’s great, but for kids below 16 it’s a bit challanging.

I just wish that for non English speaking kids there would be more resources in their native languages, especially since mathematical interests and interest in languages rarely are equally strong.

The fact that the US has such a large unified one language market really gives them an edge when it comes to creating content.

It would be stupid to ask American educators to provide content in language irrelevant in their country; but given that France, Italy and Germany together provide for 40% of cern budget wishing for human made subtitles surly is nothing outrageous.

Will WordPress be there in 5 years? Regardless, it has a cost.

It's hard to compound a conversation about cost on the backdrop of agencies. A lifetime ago I worked at agencies that predominantly leaned on WordPress. WP is a complex, dynamic webapp, running 24/7. A long history of security holes both in itself but more in the fleet of community plugins that agencies install by default, and the "one click" hosting software they lean on (cpanel et al) to avoid hiring actual operations teams all cause problems. Deployments are objectively awful and demand scrappy maintenance work over an amount of regular server time.

Once a static Astro site is built, that HTML is static and safe, forever. Cloudflare, AWS, Github, and a hundred others will host it for you, for free. Just pay for the domain.

We charged clients £100pm+ just for treading water with WP and there wasn't profit in that. WP does allow clients to make changes themselves but in my experience agency clients need brand and graphics support. The cost of updating a website is insignificant to regular graphics work.

I can't say what sort of client you are, but we're looking at a cost saving of £6k in five years by not having some underqualified junior babysit a server.

The output is better on Astro too. Usually. I'm sure an agency could find a way to make an awful Astro site.
You actually can do that by pressing the 'lock' button below the 'monitor'.
I was watching a few of the preliminary commentaries on the Battlemage cards, e.g. Linus Tech Tips and so on, and they said the same thing "focus on the low/mid-end". My conclusion is that what they are talking about is "low end, brand new, current gen. graphics card". It's a very special type of low end.

The Intel cards are getting more interesting for me as I'm questioning my continued use of macOS. Intels focus on Linux support makes their options really interesting, though I don't see a need for something as powerful as these new cards.

I guess it is meant to be a bit of fun, creating a sense of a countdown to the "big day". A few people might go back and check each day, but I suppose most will just catch a few days on social media (they do a post every day saying saying what the new window reveal is), or just check back on January 1st, which is public domain day, and when all windows will have been revealed. They do a blogpost on that day too which unrolls the whole selection of highlights. E.g. see this one from PD day of this year: https://publicdomainreview.org/blog/2024/01/public-domain-da.... That's maybe seen as the main thing.
