I'm not going to comment on the technical side of things, which is way beyond my technical comprehensions skills, and I'm sure it required a considerable amount of brain, time and energy to reach similar results.

But music production and distribution is (actually, was) my home turf, so here's my two cents on the topic:

I've already heard music qualitatively on par with the tracks available on your demo page. I've heard it way more than I truly wanted or felt it was necessary, at least once a day while tracking on pro tools hundreds of albums you've never ever heard of, in studios in France and LA, for years.

It was made with people with the best intentions, coming from all sorts of walks of life, and yet it was obvious from the first note they played that they were condemned to the oblivion, their music destined to be basically never heard by anyone.

And this has been done every day, multiple times a day, in every studio around the world, since the '60s.

20% of Spotify music has never been played once. IIRC less than 40% has been played more than once.

There's a genuinely humbling scene in the 2002 documentary "Scratch" where DJ Shadow, a world-renowed DJ and producer, wades trough stacks of EPs out of a record store in NY that have never, ever been played once[1], which perfectly captures how little of the musical output being recorded we actually get to listen to.

Making music is very easy. Making music people want to listen to is hard, mind-bogglingly so. For every whitebread pop track you've heard on the radio, there's thousands of other similar tracks that have been discarded by an A&R, a radio DJ, some label, or simply by the audience.

I'm saying this with no ill feelings towards you or your work, but I can't concieve even the flimsiest of reasons why anyone would ever listen to (or license/sync/track/ ) any of those generated songs once the novelty of "music made by the AI" is gone.

Or a mesh network. Getting a signal is probably easier if you've got a repeater hovering above.
> My genuine hope is that secretly we actually are really good with drones and just strategically have decided not to broadcast it...

What would you call the Reapers and such? The US has a massive fleet of large, armed drones, remotely operated, and quite a few are capable of being armed.

It's different from the consumer/small commercial drones being talked about here, but the US Military is pretty darn good at UAVs.
Gemini was looking quite nice the last time I've been there.
given the performance of the Israelis recently, it may be more like the opposite. they would authorize collateral damage of 300 people to get 1 militant, so their "off-target" ratio could be as high as 99.7%

Israel does path finding for what the U.S. military can get away with.

that's like living near an airport; property values are definitely affected by the presence of airports and you'll find that in most cities large residential neighborhoods do not spring up around airports for that reason. It's also why new airports are usually built quite a ways outside of urban areas.

But I am actually interested in the economics! The author mentions sending her designs out to a factory - I would expect this is astonishingly expensive for a single prototype! Wouldn’t that be thousands of dollars? Is anyone familiar how to get good factory-made parts like this at DIY budgets?

Not that that takes away from the article at all. This project has many merits, and although cost may not be one of them, it’s still interesting!
One of the reasons China does well with fountain pens is they nationalized the Parker pen factory at the beginning of the cultural revolution.
Mutating a container through a shared reference means the container either has to be single-threaded (not marked as Sync/Send), or be thread-safe.

The single-threaded ones are easy to make, but Rust will prevent you from sending them to another thread, which is probably something you want.

For thread-safe things, look into the crossbeam crate, it has really good collections.

One I worked with was the dashmap, which has a .retain() method [1] that works over a shared map reference, but runs a closure which gets mutable access to each key and value, and decides whether to keep the pair or not.

Its .get() [2] uses equality (so you can use a different object), but returns a reference to the original key-value pair. The .get_mut() will return it as mutable, but inside a guard that keeps the item locked until it goes out of scope.

Complicating the issue is that this was also an early generation of chiplet so there are two levels of bga. motherboard to processing unit and processing unit to chip_actual. the latter commonly are referred to as "bumps" to distinguish from "bga" which attaches the chip_structure to the mother board. A lot of the problem was in the bumps for this chiplet like sub assembly. and while reballing bga is a tricky but well understood process. my understanding is that reballing bumps is nearly impossible.

There’s a brand of ice cream that has 5 ingredients in their vanilla. Vanilla, cream, milk, sugar, egg. I can eat it no problem. Other vanilla ice creams gives me gas and digestion issues - and the one difference is the other always have some texture modifier.

This article mentions carrageen were found to alter gut bacteria — that reminds of the articles from years back where experience us showed cows fed seaweed reduced their methane emissions in their farts, which are a chunk of cattle’s global warming contribution.
Global tables with anything but a tiny rate of write operations is going to bring Amdahl's Law in to ruin several years of your life while you fight against it.

I had a service that was adding 30 ms to TTFB because most of the other decisions we made during page render were predicated on this response. I would later find about a quarter of this time was in bookkeeping code that got out of hand, but that's a story for another day.

The biggest problem was that this data requires a capital-P Process to change, so it took about 20 minutes to change it and fifteen seconds to roll it back. There had been plans to have the service do more but in the end it looked more like a remote request for a feature toggle. We were already broadcasting feature toggle changes through Consul, which is great for this kind of data. So I did more of the same and got to decom a cluster.

Moral of the story is, it matters what kind of global data you require to build your system, and that's the sort of fact you should keep in mind while designing the system because you can pick a design that will scale or one that absolutely won't, because you've given the users features that make the entire system 10x more expensive per request.
That sentence could come from an Onion news report about worker productivity.
It’s not being talked about much outside of military analyst circles but those small drones have significantly changed the logistics of modern warfare possibly more than anything in the 21st century. Before, with cover and conceal warfare, armies had to deliver massive firepower to even have a chance of hitting an enemy unit from a another dynamic military, with ever more expensive precision munitions to make up for that fact. Now a small drone can drop a grenade and do the same amount of damage at similar distances between combatants. It makes a huge difference when a combat engineer slash drone pilot can carry 20kg of drones and small explosives into the battlefield as part of a small team instead of manning an entire artillery unit.
Yeah, the real time stuff is pretty solid in blender but for very high image quality / realistic prerendering, blender is still missing a lot of the professional/proprietaries tools that gives the last 10% of polish in big budget productions (photorealism). The community has done a great job in last 10 years but there's still a lot of technical tools locked behind something like max/maya ecosystems professional paywall that most people eventually transitions to for "serious" industry work because pipelines are hard to change. At least that's the state a few years ago.
this is nice. i like the idea which has been tried in a few places of running sqlite in the browser directly/locally. the only thing that is really missing to make this work at a bigger scale for read-heavy databases is a very cheap or free static hosting service which does range requests, allows you control of CORS and doesn't have the file size limitations of gist or github pages. maybe this exists already? S3 would do i guess?

Capitalism provided the necessary wealth to enable those advancements. Sure there were a few in history, but a few people doing investigation doesn't advance nearly as fast as we have been for the last several hundred years. Without capitalism we wouldn't even be able to support the world population and thus would have less surplus to put into science.

Yes we did have science before, but capitalism was what provided it in more than tiny amounts.

No, secretary of commerce Lutnick said that the $65 billion deal was Biden's and was subsidized by the US ($6 billion).

He then bragged that Trump extorted TSMC using tariffs and forced TSMC to invest another $100 billion to avoid tariffs.

The US is using tariffs to have other nations build "their" industry. After that work is done, these nations will be ready to become new theaters for US proxy wars.

Cuba benefits from a lot of the advances done elsewhere. They are not standing alone, but standing on the shoulders of giants (just like everyone else). They don't have everything we have elsewhere, but they have a lot of it and so there are only a few gaps to attempt to fill in.

Ya, that makes sense to me, this is roughly how I feel about self driving cars as well — I want very good proof that it outperforms even the best drivers by a wide margin before I’ll actually use it. I feel that my friends and I are better drivers than average, even though I know that’s mathematically unlikely. So I need the self driving to be _really_ good before it attracts me. I know this is irrational; what I feel does not obey rational rules.
The mix-in revolution
A wishlist as short as it is improbable:

1. Overturn citizens united. (get money out of politics)

2. Rank-choice voting. (get extremists out of politics)

3. Remove cap on House of Representatives (washington only wanted 1 rep per 30,000 people... we're currently at 1 per 750,000...) (get lack of representation out of politics)

4. Mandatory voting / national holiday.

e.g. at its core, people are not being heard (or even worse, feel like their voice doesn't matter) and vested interests have fully taken the wheel.
I've tried all kinds of pens, and my favorite by a wide margin are the TUL ones. It glides smoothly over the paper, doesn't groove it, no blotchy lines, no dried up ink in the pen problems.

I use a pencil in the car because it always works.

Pencil writing doesn't scan very well, so I don't use it for notes. TUL writing scans delightfully.
> That didn't stop us from learning what we needed to know.

Actually, it did. At the beginning of its intervention, US weaponry and tactics were way below their European counterparts, even in nuclear research. The difference was made through sheer power of scale and speed of adaptation, not pre-war innovation.

In the same way, the US military is currently as good as it is precisely because it sees significant deployments very frequently (Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq), which means they learn hard lessons and develop technologies solving real problems, at a rate that no other military can match.
Probably a lot in generic household appliances - washing machines, microwaves etc. They've all get electronics in these days.

In my limited experience, things that get hot and or wet as part of their function tends to break more often than those that don't. So basically anything in your kitchen or laundry.
In oracle, a float by default is 126 binary, or 22 bytes.

That could be because she optimizes for views, willingly or not. There is a reason why a lot of podcasters and youtubers move toward more extreme and polarizing views, that's what attracts more viewers and creates more engagement. Same reason why places like twitter or facebook pushed the emotionally charged posts up... keeps the viewers engaged and locked.

Most likely they appear blue-green (a.k.a. turquoise a.k.a. teal), not green.

As another poster has mentioned, with increasing temperatures the color sequence for a black body is black => red => yellow => white => blue-green => blue.

Neither the greenish colors intermediate between yellow and blue-green nor the purplish colors intermediate between red and blue can appear as colors of a hot body, but only the colors that can be seen when low-pass filtering white light (i.e. between red and yellow, inclusive) or when high-pass filtering white light (i.e. between blue-green and blue, inclusive).

While above I have simplified by saying that purplish colors should not appear, that is only partially true, because very hot stars could appear as violet, i.e. reddish blue, due to the defect of human vision that the red photoreceptors are sensitive not only to red light, but also to light with a higher frequency than where the maximum sensitivity for blue is, so the high-frequency violet light excites both the blue and the red photoreceptors, being indistinguishable from a mixture of blue light with low-frequency red light.

With a video camera where the output signals would not be processed in such a way as to mimic the bugs of human vision (like in all normal color video cameras), purplish colors would not be obtained for hot bodies.
Thanks for the more complete explanation!

> Normally you'd start from bytecode, build an SSA, then do a pass where you apply type information.

> With Warp, the design simplifies into stitching together a bunch of CacheIR chunks which already embed the optimization information you care about, and then compiling that.

This is what I meant by ditching most of the profiling stuff; I suppose I should have said "type inference stuff" to be more precise.

> Originally the "shared code" was emitted by a bunch of statically defined methods that emitted a fixed bit of assembly (one for each kind of stub). That became unweildy as we added more stubs, so CacheIR was designed.

I remember all too well :) I worked on the first pass at implementing megamorphic caches into the original stub generators that spit out (macro)assembly directly, before we had CacheIR. So much code duplication...
Have you tried a good-quality, light-weight fountain pen?
I stopped using Dropbox many years ago. I switched to a non-syncing but encrypted cloud backup, with the years they changed and now they are Carbonite, that have unlimited storage. Challenge is that if you encrypt then you cannot recover "that one file" but you have to download the whole blob (mine is over 1TB).

When I need to travel and take my "burner" laptop it carries only the OS, firefox and the very few files that I copy with a flash disk.

And, SyncToy, I used it plenty 10-15 years ago.

You mentioned syncthing, if momery serves me well, Steve Gibson has mentioned it quite a few times but I haven't played around with it.

Is it possible to keep only a,bone that has bone marrow that produces white cells that produce the antibody? It would be less creepy, but white cell maturation is not easy, so I guess there are many problems I don't imagine.

But there is also monoclonal antibodies for cancer, and this antibody production looks somewhat similar.
> I wish there were software companies that put as much attention to their software as companies like Mitsubishi and Kokuyo put into their stationery.

Mitsubishi refined its process by selling the same basic product for half a century. The software equivalent would be closer to the 'cat' command than Omni. We could go with curl or vi, or Notepad if we give more credit to Mitsubishi pencils on keeping up with modern materials.

You'll note that Mitsubishi Pencils isn't producing a highly crafted extremely precise and delightful to use 3D mouse. They stuck to pens and pencils and the day pencil demand will die the company will also die.
