XEmacs Tried to do that, it has been attempted to rewrite the backend of emacs into Rust twice, Guile has tried to interpret emacs lisp twice. The biggest problem is basically how large the user base is and the ability of people to want to perform the port so actually improving the editor is more likely.

GTK+ and webkit has been integrated into emacs and it has a package manager now and configuration is still a problem.

You're correct, I'm using the IPA as a proxy for the audio data they actually use, but it's a decent proxy.

I'd have linked spectrograms if I could find them, but in general sibilants come out very heavily in the audio data, so the complete absence of sibilance in "Trump" alone would make it extremely unlikely that the words would get mixed up. The fact that the words are substantially different in length would also come out in the audio data, as would all of the other features that I mentioned.

If you were to create spectrograms for each word they would be completely distinct from each other to even a human eye across multiple dimensions. There's no good reason to claim that phonetics are the reason why their advanced statistical model connected the two words.
This looks like a good exploratory project!

One thing I’d add to the readme is an example of how you’d use the database in an example application. From the docs, it’s clear that this isn’t a sql database (yet?), so it would be good to have an example to see how to use the database.

It might also be nice to have a description of what happens when you insert or get a record, so others can learn from the code too. Or can you comment here about what your favorite part of the code is? What did you figure out that you didn’t know before? If you’re using the project to learn about databases, what have you learned so far?

Maybe two years ago I got a youtube ad that was literally an infomercial telling me that my penis was too small to please my partner, and presumably trying to sell me something for that, though I could not watch long enough to see where it was going. I was only able to make it as far into the ad out of incredulousness that it was actually as brazen as it seemed. It was mostly just funny to me, but also sort of amazing that YouTube was showing me such bottom-of-the-barrel ad content.

I'm interested in how this would work for generative models. It's not obvious how you'd implement causal masking in the frequency domain. And the modReLU activation seems critical but adds implementation complexity.
Would love to see how this scales on truly massive context lengths where the theoretical advantages should really shine.
If you want to subtly break a windows install you can use setCaseSensitiveInfo with fsutil. It turns on/off case sensitivity for a directory. There is also a similar set of options for samba shares which comes with interesting tradeoffs for speed of reading a directory list.
Working in the Fourier domain has been a staple of scientific and engineering applications. Learning those interactions rather than just hardcoding them has been fairly widely explored as well - the term to look for is Fourier Neural Operators [1][2]. It turns out you can prove universality even if the nonlinearity remains in the real domain [3].

The concept is fairly mainstream nowadays, to the degree that Jensen talked about it in his GTC keynote in 2021 [4] and there’s even a mainstage TED talk about its applications [5].

A nice property of doing things this way is that your model ends up being resolution-invariant which is particularly interesting for engineering domains. Scaling these methods has sparked the "let’s do a fully deep-learning-based weather model"-race [6][7].

As for using this on text data: my intuition would be that is going to not work as well because of a fairly unique property of text: for image, video and scientific data each individual element is of approximately equal importance, whereas in text you can have discrete tokens like a "not" somewhere in there that change the meaning of everything around it fairly significantly and you’d want that all to all interaction to capture that. Any kind of mixing that smoothes things out is going to inherently be at a disadvantage - probably true to some degree for most of those efficiency saving methods and why we’re seeing more limited adoption on text.

I don't see a lot of arguments happening here.
Just go already. Florida has outstanding state parks and natural areas. Many of them will be gone forever soon(ish).

Spend much of your time there camping at the parks or in cheap hotels, buy food at grocery stores, etc. Stay away from the rich/expensive areas and you won’t contribute much of anything to the craziness of the place. You’ll also find that the average Floridian isn’t nearly as crazy as you thought.
Hard links are not a suitable alternative here. When you deduplicate files, you typically want copy-on-write: if an app writes to one file, it should not change the other. Because of this, I would be extremely scared to use anything based on hard links.

In any case, a good design is to ask the kernel to do the dedupe step after user space has found duplicates. The kernel can double-check for you that they are really identical before doing the dedupe. This is available on Linux as the ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FILE_EXTENT_SAME.
> but why is it the case that at 50+ it is harder to find work?

I think this begins to be visible even sooner, 38 if you graduated at 23. The majority of the job market requires very very few 15+ years experienced engineers. 5 to 10 years of experience is a sweet spot - you will be easily hired. Everything below and beyond is a struggle, especially for the latter since very few companies need and are willing to pay for those skills.

And that's how you become unemployable with the irony of being at more or less what would be the peak of your technical capabilities. In years later on, people start to lose the drive.

contingencies

Caltrans and PG&E had to be shamed into providing power for the Caldecott tunnel. The contingency was basically just shut everything down including tunnels and whatnot.

PG&E didn't share their list of folks who required electricity for medical equipment with counties, didn't actually contact everyone effected, and didn't communicate specifically when the power was going to be on/off to most of them. PG&E (still) doesn't do "well communicated".
It's likely not a single fault, but a fault and a subsequently failed protection mechanism. Elements of a grid usually work together, tied through frequency synchronisation with protection breakers to separate them if a part gets overloaded or fails. If a required generator or transmissions like did go down, and it and its users remained connected to the national grid, that load can very easily pull the rest down.

Many modern countries have experienced rolling black- and brown-outs in the past ~25 years. It's not an easy thing to sidestep without a lot of spare capacity and that takes money that nobody has the appetite to spend.

Show HN: Lotad, an Open-Source DuckDB Differ for Data Exploration
Lotad makes comparing DuckDB files effortless. Get started with a simple setup command that generates a config YAML file tailored to your needs.

The tool creates a comprehensive DuckDB output file containing:
High-level change summaries per table
Detailed table deltas
Complete schema difference analysis

For tables with drift, Lotad generates dedicated comparison tables that preserve the original schema while adding an observed_in column to track data origins.

Lotad is under active development, with support for additional database types on the roadmap.
It's actively being worked on and I do have expanding the number of supported Databases on the roadmap.

NFTs are interesting. When they were originally hyped up, I didn't see the point when you could just save the work. But, I've learned to understand them more as 'signed' copies. Also, there's pride in knowing that you sponsored someone before they became known.

Finally, I love generative art. I'm a huge fan. But, too few works appeal to the human condition, and they're often just algorithmic designs.
Opinion, but lean and coq both use dependant type theory, while isabelle uses a first order logic. Between coq and lean, lean has always had great support for unicode, where coq always seemed to me ascii first, and coq itself predates the publishing of the unicode standard and formation of the unicode consortium. At least my feeling has always been that syntax probably takes no small part in it. Because with lean one can use all the familiar mathematical alphanumeric symbols and operators.
By wealth I mean nice things, which may be more or less material according to taste. Numbers sitting in an account is not wealth, because wealth is stuff you palpably enjoy, or that otherwise does you some good. If you transform the numbers into something that you imagined, and make it real, now you've got wealth (and, even if indirectly, the wealth has a good chance of making you money through some kind of thriving).

> Americans aren’t going to die en masse over some random island in the pacific

OP is saying that Taiwan is "some small random island" from the point of view of most Americans, its merits notwithstanding. And given everything the current Trump administration has done so far (which suggests that they view alliances, promises, and treaties in extremely transactional terms), it doesn't seem unfair or unreasonable to assume that they share this view too.
Funny to choose an example where even the author admits:

> Personally, I don’t wade into these questions much, professionally, or even here on the blog. They honestly don’t interest me very much. Maybe it’s a sign of how post-post-Cold War I am? I don’t know. To me it has always seemed like splitting very fine hairs, trying to make distinctions without much difference. In my mind, the atomic bombings were plainly not ethically very different than the previous firebombings of Japan or Germany

But hey, I’m glad you found an example of a historian that admits there are “hazards” to being a historian. Do you really think this one example of a historian being self aware precludes what I’ve said about historians being dangerous? I think it supports my argument. For every one historian that acknowledges their own bias there are plenty that do not. Just as I would be able to provide examples of amateur historian AI content that even historians would not find problematic. The difference is that I would not use my example to say that AI videos are not dangerous.

Funny in a world of “history” channel where many of these professional historians are used when they can take a break from their regularly programmed conspiracy theories that anybody could with a straight face say they are any less dangerous. The amount of revisionism in history should have been a clue already but how much more defilement of our past can one ignore before calling the entire field out for what it is: a tool for propaganda
It's an interesting idea, I would agree that that's money in its ideal form.

There's a push and pull to it though too, because when you accumulate money, it's not just that you may have pleased someone, but that you have placed your trust into that money, that it will be worth something tomorrow, and thereby you have placed your trust into society at large.

So money is not just tracking how much value you have added, but also how much trust you have put in.

Yep... but there are dozens of different types of databases out there. There is no way to look at this codebase and give any kind of feedback one way or the other without that understanding, particularly with zero usage examples. Which is what the OP is asking about.
Are you really so blinkered that you are surprised to learn that people on the outside often have a negative view of VC?

The horror stories are legion. It's much harder to find the stories of ordinary or good people in the industry. Silicon Valley (TV) was barely fiction, because it didn't need to be.

The quotient of decent people to snakes in VC is lower than most people encounter in their ordinary life. Someone who doesn't know how to navigate this industry is entirely justified to ask questions like this.

There are good people. Probably even most. But still well-below what an ordinary person expects to find in a random sample of humanity.

Trump is correct to criticize Apple. DEI policies are discriminatory and illegal, because they focus on equality of outcomes (equity) instead of merit. The law just needs to be enforced against them for the discrimination they quietly practice.

Let’s also not pretend the obvious isn’t happening - companies with DEI are aligning their culture to progressive politics. It’s why Apple has transcription that calls Trump racist and why Google has had various situations with politically censored search results. DEI culture gives activist employees permission.
Hi, cool and congrats on making a game! I also have a breakout clone in the works but with the twist that I'm doing my own complete 2D game engine for the game.

- The particle effects when the block is broken is a bit disturbing and distracts from the gaming experience since they make it harder to see the ball. And since this is just a visual maybe you want to fade them out or something.

- The little effect when the ball hits the paddle is a neat idea!
