Americans have been voting for significant change since Obama ran on "Hope and Change" and delivered neither. Harris promised Even More Of The Same and people said 'No, but For Real this time.'

This is all well and good, but at least for iOS my understanding is you cannot decompile unless you have a jailbroken iPhone or security research device. Makes things a bit difficult.
Spotify was shit exploitative grift even without AI — if AI manages to kill it for good that’s just one more argument for it imo

If this is the startup that finally unleashes AI spam bot articles and comments to the top of HackerNews, I'm gonna quit the internet and move into a log cabin.
It's always been a non-issue for me. However, when I do want to explore a new stack I generally go as a consultant or in a small startup i.e. not-well-funded. I'm more than willing to pay the price in wage for a few shorter-term engagements.
Oh, there's a section in the actual memo that talks about "ending the wokeness agenda". I was going to say it feels like it was written by Trump himself, except far too eloquent. Maybe by Musk, then.
This is ridiculous. Since the actual training code for DeepSeek is _not_ public, this is a based only on the technical report, which mentions PTX one (1) time in §3.2.2 Efficient Implementation of Cross-Node All-to-All Communication:

> Specifically, we employ customized PTX (Parallel Thread Execution) instructions and auto-tune the communication chunk size, which significantly reduces the use of the L2 cache and the interference to other SMs.

So they have some intrinsic in some part of their training framework. That's it.
I wonder if an AI recommender system can recognize AI music
For one data point I always did better with a short, generic cover letter than a customized one.

> Traditionally, programming (in a meta sense) is about this loop between thinking about what to code, and then writing that code. Sometimes you have to break the loop and go learn how to do something.

Nope. Meta-traditionally-philosophically programming is about software _engineering_.

Code is just a byproduct, intermediary, leftovers etc of the process. Liability, not an asset.
Is the belief that these tracks are being generated and placed by Spotify themselves, or is it possible that third parties are uploading generated music? Are other streaming services liable to encounter the same issue?
If you want good AI generated music that captures the best of human creativity, just go to your terminal and type `cat /dev/null`.

I have several songs that I actually like which are AI songs.. maybe they just need to label them explicitly as AI? Or maybe they need a way to filter it out.

Making AI get mad (or any other mood) is easy. You need to keep a bunch of variables related to it’s current state, and then using Utility AI concepts you select it’s highest scoring mood based on a bunch of different considerations for each possible mood. You can update the state of the AI’s variables after each response it gives. Example: If the user naturally says infuriating things, some annoyance variable should go up relative to how patient/impatient the AI is. Or maybe the AI gets angry if it can’t figure something out or you give it really hard work, or try to get around prompts. You can even assign it tools so it can take retaliatory actions against the user.

No need to over complicate things, the above behavior will be indistinguishable from anything else you come up with.
Dependencies meaning other components or something else?

And if I understand correctly, you're forming relationships between parents/children by setting extra properties on the DOM nodes themselves (e.g., node.mutraction_parent = <Some Other DOM Node>)?

You're comparing two completely unrelated things and phrasing it as if we have to choose one or the other.

If your aim is to criticize the risk of AI, you'll have plenty of supporters here. Adding web3 to the conversation is unnecessary and you're going to get called out for arguing a false dichotomy.

I've put these points up many times on online forums and it is a sure way to get ad hominemed to oblivion, and if that doesn't discredit you then you're banned or flagged. It's simply not allowed opinion.

I remember when everyone was calling for public daycare/preschool. I posted an address for anyone who felt it was their duty to pay for daycare of others to send the money for my child. I received nothing but curses. What they really meant was everyone else would pay and they would receive.
Not to mention axing third party API access instead of coming to a licensing agreement, forcing DJs, dance class teachers and others to jump ship to Tidal/Beatport/whatever at high cost, losing all their carefully curated playlists unless they go through the time consuming process of converting them.

Why wouldn't your employer just hire fewer people to do it since you seem to have enough spare time to do lots of things besides work?
> Like in the same way you might forget to write pattern matching code?

This is a lengthy response to seemingly ignore, or miss, the point being made.

It is literally impossible to "forget" if you have pattern matching + algebraic data types/enum/unions. Conversely, it is possible and easy with Go.

Nothing you have said acknowledges this.
"People scheduling their travel around limited flights" drove extra operational complexity and expenditure for Concorde; it's not a hassle-free business case.

BA and Air France understood that people paid extra to be able to quickly travel transatlantic[0].
That premium value proposition depends heavily on passengers' expectation that the flight WILL go at the scheduled time. The airlines had to invest significant extra resources in spare parts, additional staffing, and standby airframes to ensure on-time performance.

If the Concorde were to ever develop a reputation for six-hour departure delays or days of cancellations in a row, no one among their premium customer base would bother paying extra for it.

British Airways and Air France did profit from them prior to the 9/11 hijackings and the flight 4590 crash, so it's not an impossible hurdle to clear for Boom. But the value proposition for a new SST is going to be vulnerable to operational concerns that don't affect the rest of an airline's fleet.

Damn, you went from pinocchio to real boy is 2 seconds. Your anthropomorphic assumptions will lead to the classification within various species. If you are gonna pay an AI for it's output, but not bees....you may want to re-evaluate your premise.
Yes, no doubt. Nothing comes close.
Very cool what the VGHF is doing. In addition to magazines, old video game forums (old being early 2000s in this context) seem interesting to read from the few snippets I've come across.

I think The Economist should be center right thanks to its consistent insistence on free trade (founded to oppose the Corn Laws in 1843) or rather it is what the center right should be. Between the current Tories and Labor it is politically homeless in the current UK. I'd argue that its rating here

is a sign of the US political spectrum itself being hopelessly biased, but maybe any American taking an interest in a foreign publication is left leaning, but then I remembered

Full disclosure: I read The Economist and The Guardian regularly and I'd say the latter really is lefty. I was introduced to The Economist by someone who was a conservative at the time but switched sides but has enough sense to not to talk about "anti-fascism" around me.
I don't use spotify (primarily buy CDs and use ipod classics, also records because I am a cliche) and this made me think of the articles about the guy who was one of the most listened artists on spotify (piano for study/concentration type stuff iirc?) and he got punished or something because he was publishing under several names? I couldn't quite find that or what actually happened, but I did stumble upon this Wikipedia page about controversy over fake artists on spotify[0] that suggests some of those are commissioned by spotify.

The only feature of spotify that I've ever been interested in was discovering new and new to me music. I'm not interested in AI slop though, and I can't imagine a lot of people would be (maybe the background noise use case don't mind so much which is fair, I suppose). Is this going to get to a tipping point with spotify for it to go under (or lose a LOAD of value), or is it going to be like 'smart' TVs where non-'smart' TVs essentially don't exist because almost all manufacturers have realised they can make more money from forcing ads and spyware? I see that it's been a problem for nigh on a decade according to that Wikipedia page but with the floodgates for AI feel a lot more open than they used to.

Kinda related, does anybody use soundcloud any more? Just interesting that it seemed hugely popular and was then derided (terms like 'soundcloud rapper') and I haven't heard about it in a while.

I suppose netflix still exists despite derision for their awful originals, killing the good originals, and having little content (especially internationally!).

Spotify will be fine, especially with how little they pay artists, but it's probably a shame for a lot of users.

Are these made by Spotify themselves so they don’t have to pay artists?
There is no reason that a discovery programmer cannot create a highly structured, rigorous end-artifact.

They often stop before they do.

Designing software is a human process and not all humans are the same.

...nor is the quality of their results.
They also deprecated their library (libspotify) which had previously been used to build alternative third-party clients and playback-capable integrations for paying Spotify users. They promised a replacement, but that never happened… the best we ever got was a set of watered down APIs that’s curiously missing what one would need to build a third party client.

They couldn’t allow for users to opt out of the constant A/B testing and user herding in the ever-changing official client by using a sane third-party client that just acts like a normal music player and obeys the user’s preferences. The ability to shove the music that’s most profitable and whatever other non-relevant audio content in users’ faces by mandating official client use is too valuable to give up.

Somehow even Apple is better on this front, with there being multiple alternative Apple Music clients out there that are build with official Apple SDKs and aren’t reverse engineered, which is crazy. They’ve out-Apple’d Apple.
Get Qobuz.

You can pay per track/album to actually own the music as lossless flac files or sign up for their streaming service that uses the same lossless format, but doesn't let you save them.

The big bit of a river is easy to find, sure.

But up near the source where it splits into thousands of small tributaries which move and change a lot? That's a recipe for boundary disputes.

Whereas a watershed rarely changes far, even on geological timescales.
Spending that money was part of their strategy to go for a "bundled" rate for royalties, which 99% (their number) of the US customer base now does. In a nutshell, they can downrate the royalties for music as long as they bundle other things with it- that's why there's books on there now as well. UMG is now fighting it [0] but all the indies are basically fucked as there's no global leverage.

The second part was demonetizing any songs with under 1000 streams per year- they're just taking most of the long tail for themselves now.

By law the FTC, like the FCC, cannot have more than 3 commissioners from the same party.

Yes. But. The reference photo is blurred. The smallest details matter for faces! That's the whole point. I have no doubt you can do a kind-of-looks-like faces. But this is the same issue since Dreambooth. All the IP transfer approaches, even the best like Ideogram's, are failing on faces.
I would wager it would be some third party since Spotify themself would not participate on their own platform (especially with ai slop)

I can't understand how people use Spotify. It was great ~10 years ago? It's terrible these days. Pushing Podcasts at you (no thanks, Podcasts are terrible. If I wanted to hear idiots laughing at each other I'd listen to the Radio DJs), terrible music, the UI getting harder and less intuitive to use.

It's a shame all good things have to slowly tend towards sucking, instead of getting better. Bitwarden, one of my beloved apps, has done the same with a god-awful UI redesign.

Youtube music is just as bad with pushing unwanted content. I can't believe the answer after 10 years of this is to go back to doing it myself, downloading MP3s and using something (currently Jellyfin) to curate them.

At least Youtube music lets me upload my own music to it, so that's the main reason I'm still mostly using it.

PS: Please don't reply and tell me I just haven't found the right podcast. The "X person/people talking taking 2 hours to discuss something that could be discussed succinctly in 5 minutes" isn't a format I'm interested in.
How do Maxima and SymPy compare in terms of capability, features and speed (native, not WASM)?

I love reading blog posts on oauth2 and oidc. I have a mental model on how it works but every person has their own way to describe the flows. So far my favorite article has been oauth-oidc from first principles[1] and why each piece of the protocol is useful.

This being hackernews, any comment worthwhile cannot be devoid of criticism. Trust-on-first-use is used incorrectly here -- saving the previous authorization scopes is just caching. TOFU has a specific definition in security: it's when you're establishing a secure channel but you haven't shared a secret or public key a-priori -- it makes it impossible to guarantee that the counter-party is whom they say they are. Very concretely TOFU is a diffie hellman key exchange with a shared secret that can be MitMed. Through use in time the shared secret gains integrity because the probability of a persistent MitM accross channels degrades. The most common place TOFU is encountered is when connecting via ssh to a server and the server accepts your connection because you're in their authorized_keys but the server's key is not in your known_hosts.
