Not sure if the author will eventually show up here, but I'm curious if they managed to get it working at scale and if they ran into other challenges?

One 'feature' that immediately came to mind for me is automatic transposing for use with a capo. Many hobby guitarists cannot play barre chords for an entire track, especially if they don't know it already. Transposing is already a thing for vocal karaoke and quite common. Some players may be skilled enough to transpose in their head to take advantage of the capo, but juggling the lyrics, instrument, and transposing at once is quite taxing mentally.

Cool project!

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to modern JS (still mostly using jquery when having to do something browser-side), but

> And learning modern React ecosystem from the scratch is no easy undertaking even for experienced developer.

feels like a pretty strong statement to me.

I've seen a few snippets here and there of various JS frameworks over the years and they could be summed up as "reactive programming for browsers" - which doesn't seem particularly groundbreaking.

So I assume that I just don't know where the difficulty comes from. My question is then: where is the nonobvious complexity of learning React?
I'd add another factor: neurology.

Our brain don't like to break accumulated "knowledge" to replace it. Especially if it's just to recreate a different mess without a global improvement in insight. And if this occurs too often.. it feels as breaking your leg every time your bones heals..

I don't get angry when I read a new topic, even if complicated, it's a motivating pleasure even.. but trying to reverse yet another vaguely specified build system .. not so much.
Sizing Up MI300A's GPU – By Chester Lam
Elon musk did a sign that shows that he's a Nazi. There's no ambiguity, he did the sign the neo-nazis do and it's instantly recognizable. That's my reading of the situation, with my education and background (I grew up & went to school in Sweden) - I mention the background to say that this is how the sign is interpreted where I come from.
Guaranteeing freedom of speech and preventing a talk from happening seems contradictory.
> It would be as bizarre to say those people were supporting NAZI Germany, too.

The person you replied to said "nazi salute". In context, it's clear the gesture is meant. Everything else comes solely from you.

And far-right groups everywhere are totally celebrating it by the way, you're aware of that, right? In a way they never did and wouldn't celebrate some random "gotcha" photo of a Democrat that has nothing to do with them. So you're just underlining the point.
Cuda the language is an antique dialect of C++ with a vectorisation hack. It's essentially what you get if you take an auto-vectoriser and turn off the correctness precondition, defining the correct semantics to be that which you get if you ignore dataflow. This was considered easier to program with than vector types and intrinsics.

Cuda the ecosystem is a massive pile of libraries for lots of different domains written to make it easier to use GPUs to do useful work. This is perhaps something of a judgement on how easy it is to write efficient programs using cuda.

ROCm contains a language called HIP which behaves pretty similarly to Cuda. OpenCL is the same sort of thing as well. It also contains a lot of library code, in this case because people using Cuda use those libraries and don't want to reimplement them. That's a bit of a challenge because nvidia spent 20 years writing these libraries and is still writing more, yet amd is expected to produce the same set in an order of magnitude less time.

If you want to use a GPU to do maths, you don't actually need any of this stuff. You need the GPU, something to feed it data (e.g. a linux host) and some assembly. Or LLVM IR / freestanding c++ if you prefer. This whole cuda / rocm thing really is intended to make them easier to program.
The alternative is moderation only on content (CP for example) and not on speech (save for crimes like death threats and so on).

The more you censor speech the more radicalized people become against the system setting that censorship. It becomes a self perpetuating feedback loop.
For mixed workloads, I find that memory becomes the bottleneck first for running workloads on a given physical host. This changed after NVMe SSds became available – before that it was disk I/O.

But pricing per GB is also a factor I have to admit, currently we are outfitting with 1.5 TB memory per CPU.
I agree, I've basically gone the same path as you, just ended up with a different stack to solidify behind, but same idea.

> YMMV but the point is, it's everso tedious and unsettling to those involved trying to figure out what the next thing to focus on should be.

I think it would all be fine, if people could just accept they're are part of this turning wheel, but instead they'll kick and shout that "No, but it's different this time, this time we really found the silver bullet" while you continue to look at them changing from HypedThing to HypedThing, repeating the marketing pitch while running into new walls.

I'll get jumped but whatever: Currently this is happening with for example TypeScript, where some people are so into it, they don't see it as just another "Compile to JS" language that will eventually be replaced by something else once the hype wheel starts turning yet again.
BambuConnect is not part of BambuStudio - That's intentional, so BambuLab does not need to share/open-source it.

The current implementation (the Bambu network plugin thingy) isn't a part of it either, it's downloaded by the client when BambuStudio is opened.
Albumentations vs. PIL: 2x Speedup for Model Training Pipelines
I feel like "Complexity" is the wrong word here.

Although I agree with the notion that deep knowledge of complex systems has decreased over the years, I'd argue that the problem isn't the lack of interest in gaining deeper knowledge that's the problem, nor a perceived lack of respect for expertise.

I'd argue its more to do with the nature of how large codebases morph over time as they're retrofitted to do more usercases. Its a lot easy in the short term to just hack in the functionality you need into an existing codebase, instead of rewriting the entire thing from scratch every time. This comes at the cost of maintainability and leads to a lot of headaches in the long term, as systems that where never designed to work together clash in unexpected ways.

I don't begrudge anyone for not wanted to dive into codebases like that.

The full speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3EM0G0qh0Q

In fairness to Musk he explains the gesture as 'my heart goes out to you', and the general vibe is not really fascist. Very cheerful about sending people to Mars. For comparison here's Hitler - all anger https://youtu.be/FJ3N_2r6R-o

That said I'm sure Musk knew what he was doing. He seems to be going a little nuts these days.
I mean, technically, this is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_salute and it was used extensively during the history. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute for example.

Mixxx has been around for over a decade, I was mixing with it back in 2011. Back then I also made a controller out of an old HDD, a cheap hall sensor IC, and an arduino and it worked well as a small portable CDJ knock off. I’ll try and resurrect it when I get some time later this year and post the GitHub link. I’m sure it could be made a lot fancier for even less these days.
There is one glaring omission IMHO: documentation, or to be precise its quality.

It happens way too often that even the "latest" version of the documentation (assuming it exists) contains code that outright does not compile, does not work or yields deprecation warnings. I get the motto is "move fast and break things", okay, but at least don't make me curse at you while trying to get started on your project.

Also, when you introduce breaking changes or deprecate something, please give a healthy amount of "common patterns of X gotta be done like Y now", and a decent changelog. Don't make version upgrades even more painful than they already are, or at least try to provide shims.

seeing it is great. coming into a hairy monolith and having to plumb one variable through half a dozen layers to get to the creamy nougat later you actually wanted it in, is not. having to do that more than once it's why they invented the "magic" implicit context variable.
Personally based on my experience with programming language related podcasts, I find they just don't work well, the medium is fairly illsuited to the subject matter.

It's either technical stuff that would be much better served in an article or video format, or else it ends up being vapid hype about new language features or the like.

If anybody has counter-examples I'd be interested to hear them.

I feel like the only programming language related content that is suited to the format would be something like history/historiographical content and the like. Like I said, interested if anybidy has examples of the format working though.
> Fun fact about World War II Albania...... they came out of it with more Jews than they started with.

That is perhaps an interesting fact. But not really a fun one.
Competition leads to innovation when the definition of success and its metrics are set correctly. A big chunk of "success" in academia is the number of publications, and funding often depends on that exact metric. As a result, competition in academia is very good for innovation in the field of producing papers and winning grants. I'm not saying the respective scientific research is wrong or doesn't exist, I'm just saying the system is skewed towards this one metric in an unhealthy way.

It's similar to competition in tech products not leading to innovation. The important metric there is financial growth and stock value, and there are ways to increase those metrics without really focusing on true innovation in the core domain.
No — “deep state” can refer to the permanent bureaucracy operating according to their own agenda, in coordination with NGOs, etc.

That’s the “unauthorized networks of power” which run independently of democratic control, eg by coordinating non-prosecution of crime despite citizen demands for more criminal prosecutions.

> A deep state is a type of government made up of […] unauthorized networks of power operating independently of a state's political leadership in pursuit of their own agenda and goals.

>Protesters do not have an untrammelled right to be disruptive; others in society do not have an obligation to facilitate or tolerate that disruption

Go on then, polite member of society who doesn't understand the point of protests. I'm looking forward to your counter-protest that will not disrupt anything, will largely go unnoticed, be super polite but still be a huge success and change the status quo.
Wikipedia discussion and edits have always been a bit of a cesspool, but most people just don't look at them (especially when US politics is concerned)
That's not at all limited to open source orgs and participants I've found. Seems to be a large percentage of the world these days, really...
Good question. My hunch is most functioning governments will step in and create these jobs - because they are badly needed. .Even now at least half of economic activity is government created in many developed countries - so it will be more like 80%.
But I have no crystal ball, I'm just speculating.
I agree about not raking over old quotes, but people will. Any attempt to do what you are suggesting will be labelled "communism" or similar.

Of course communism is not the only value system I remember an Yes Minister episode (I cannot recall which one) in which some one quotes that and Hacker guesses the source of the quote is Jesus. Not an unreasonable guess.

The problem is that whatever values you base the justification of the change on, they have to be radically different from that of the current political consensus.

The problem is what that lead to. Not something I want to live through, or want my children to live through.

This looks like it's a bit more flexible than my accelerator idea, while in the spirit of it. Thanks!
Absolutely thought through carefully. People who think it's a joke because of the name will probably get a shock. Apparently they've been planning DOGE for months.

We can conclude a few things given this move, which I've been anticipating right since DOGE was first announced. It comes as no surprise. I think Elon's plan looks like this:

1. The purpose of the DOGE teams will be only partly efficiency. It will primarily be about control. Control initiatives might be disguised as efficiency initiatives in some cases.

2. The Trump agenda will be enforced by combining X.ai infrastructure with IT systems at big data scale using small projects. Think Grok reading every email sent by every federal employee looking for signs of subversion, stuff like that.

3. Targeted efforts to replace or augment key employees with LLMs, in particular to speed up approval processes in cases where Congress hasn't yet simplified the underlying procedures.

All this will NOT look like conventional government IT projects that take years and frequently stall out due to institutional inertia. They will be more like lightning strikes in which existing procedures, workflows and software are preserved but rendered essentially irrelevant by AI based automation, and which are forced on agencies by embedded outsiders given carte blanche administrator access before the middle managers even know what's happening. And maybe in some cases without the middle managers knowing what's happening.

Taking over USDS and then inserting loyal strike teams into each agency is exactly the right way to start such a strategy. You don't need many people to inject an LLM call into a teed off communication feed. USDS has people familiar with the broad outlines of the IT systems used across government.

This strategy makes sense for the Trump administration and others. Governments all over the west, not just America, are struggling with civil servants that have gone rogue and just refuse to implement direct orders or actively wage war against elected leaders. Nowhere is this more extreme than the USA, but this problem isn't unique to the right. In the UK recently some anonymous civil servants told the BBC that "there is a mood that we should just pull the plug on [Kier Starmer]". Starmer's "crime" in this case was to criticize the civil service, calling them comfortable with managed decline. I'm not a Labour supporter but he won the election fair and square. It's dystopian that elements of the civil service are openly telling high profile journalists that they are the ones in charge and can simply "unplug" Prime Ministers who mildly criticize them.
I understand that this post is flagged because it can start flame wars and “not curious conversations”, but I’m curious about what people here from different parts of the world are seeing for these search terms. If censorship is indeed happening either due to manual flags or “AI” algorithms, people need to know what’s happening and if this is just anecdotal or geography specific or could be spreading to other countries in other forms for other search words and terms.

I don’t have an Instagram account to verify this myself.
>>The fact is that people are talking about moving either out of Western Europe / UK to somewhere else and it is a common sentiment amongst many professionals.

2022 and 2023 were the highest years on record for net migration into the UK. The only reason 2024 wasn't even higher was due to the new Conservative government's policy stopping international students from bringing dependents to the UK.

https://news.sky.com/story/net-migration-to-the-uk-falls-by-...

Migration to Ireland is at the highest level since 2007. It represents a 3.5 per cent increase in population - which in a given year would be one of the highest ever recorded for a single country.

>>You can look up the laws yourself and the cases. They can easily be found. They are numerous. The law around speech is quite easy to find on the .gov websites.

But of course the rules are different for your opponent in debate. Laughable.

>> In the UK we literally don't have the right to free speech...Freedom of expression != Free speech. They are not the same thing and that is why hate speech laws exist in the majority of EU countries and in the UK

I think you're conflating two issues here - Hate Speech and 'Freedom' of Speech.

Hate speech receives substantial protection under the First Amendment and is specifically covered under 1A as per Matal v. Tam (2017). But there are several carve-outs. The most famous is the fighting words doctrine; a well known limitation to freedom of speech under 1A - enshrined in a 9-0 decision in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942).

More to the point, the First Amendment prohibits defamation actions based on “loose, figurative language that no reasonable person would believe presented facts". Not actions like when Donald Trump defamed E Jean Carroll by denying her allegation of sexual assault to the tune of $80m+ in damages.

That said, this didn't stop ABC News paying $15m (£12m) to US President-elect Donald Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit after its star anchor falsely said he had been found "liable for rape" as opposed to liable for "sexual abuse", which has a specific definition under New York law. This is despite the substantial-truth doctrine which many jurisdictions adopted, which protects a defamation defendant as long as the “gist” of the story is true.

Something something willfully ignorant. /s

It is not "complexity good" versus "complexity bad". It is all about legibility, and legibility emerges from how complexity is managed.

When has the brain of people promoting this been damaged ?
Contrary to what seems to often be believed, the EU way of doing things is to try to make companies do their own agreement and policing, as to avoid the rigidity of regulation unless we absolutely have to.

Another example is how the EU asked the phone manufacturers to agree on a common charger for years on a good will basis, and only had to regulate when samsung said they were going to back out if no regulation was made because apple was not playing ball.

So the idea here is "guys, we really don't want to come here and make a law about what is or isn't allowed to be said or what has to be fact checked and everything, we want you to behave like adults and agree together about said rules".

I believe in this case, the fact that every company is part of the same country and same bunch of absurdly rich tech companies means it's never going to work at all.

Given the failure rate I think it's always been hard to justify for the vast majority of people.
> I have some doubt about #2. Weren't Big Tech companies paying senior engineers $300K+ - in 2025-adjusted dollars - back in 2013?

Yes but big tech got bigger. Google had a 4th of its current workforce for instance, Meta a 10th, etc. It got much easier to get into those companies.
During BLM, I've seen rhetoric that said "If you're silent, then you're part of the problem!". Sheesh! Luckily I don't live in that quasi-apartheid country and don't have to speak out and say how guilty I am for taking my privileges for granted.

I support their right to challenge the oppression, but please, don't make me the enemy if I'm minding my own business. Yes, I get that there's tremendous privilege of being able to not be enraged by the issues...
Software Engineering is about always maintaining the right balance between NIH syndrome and dependency hell (yeah, don't pull in leftpad as a dependency).

As such, new frameworks keep coming out as people decide to build something small and focused, and that keeps growing and becomes a framework.

It is bound to continue, as it should.

One should neither get too excited nor too upset, but some of those announcements will sound funny to anyone who's been around for a while (in general it is mostly rehashing all the same ideas from 70s onward).
