I made little gift songs for friends for awhile. It was nice and fun. Making a roadtrip theme song for friends on a vacation is way fun, and kinda locks in the moment

I also used it when I was living in New Orleans to help a friend come up with a riff for a live set he had, which had some unusual constraints (only had a singer, drummer and trombone, but no others, in an echoey space). He used the generated song hook as inspiration for that nights' arrangement

There's lots of stuff, and song of it supports artists who have tight timelines and want creative support

Yep, for some compliance frameworks like SOC 2, background checks for all new hires is a requirement. A third party service is often used.

At my workplace, we do employment and education verification. We don’t do criminal background checks because it isn’t strictly necessary in our space.
My understanding is that branch prediction got better in the ‘10s and a bunch of techniques that didn’t work before do now.
That's not a tautology. That's the summary of the argument itself. If you want to know more, then a good reason why it can't be reasoning is that there is no evaluation of the truth value of any statement at any point, only the likelihood of the statement being found in the training set. This evaluation has no relationship with truth.

If no statement is ever evaluated, it's not logical reasoning, because logical reasoning requires the evaluation of truth values of statements.
To be fair, there is a LOT of turnover in construction, which is probably why.
Yup. The specification is under Apache 2.0 and the Python package is under AGPL.

This can be a pretty blurry line.

If the engineer took some existing product and did nothing for 2 years other than design in additional failures that show up after the warranty has expired, I agree that's awful. However, I'm very skeptical of that. I've worked in some manufacturing orgs who try to pinch every possible penny they can, and I've never seen anything resembling that level of mustache-twirling villainy in engineering. Also, 2 years seems like an incredibly long time for someone to spend doing this and nothing else.

It's much more likely that the company asked the engineer to reduce the cost of the pump while still hitting the product's requirements (e.g. no failures during warranty period plus some margin), and while doing that, the engineer found the design was overspeced for those requirements and made some changes which reduced the pump's expected lifespan while still meeting that requirement.

Unlike what the OP is suggesting, this happens constantly...it's what engineering is.

Obviously I'm not OP and I'm reading between the lines here, but it's very easy to imagine someone hearing this story second-hand and completely misrepresenting it.

I don't know where you're getting your data that there's no obvious path, or that it's unfounded optimism. When the chatbots first came out they were unusable for code, now they're borderline good for many tasks and excellent at others, and it's only been a couple of years. Every tool has its limitations at any given time, and I think your pessimism is entirely speculative.

It’s a nice line to say the US cares about democracies but I think history has shown that geopolitics trumps form of government every time. The US allies itself with dictatorships when it is expedient and overthrows democracies when it is expedient.

You are right that Taiwan makes it harder for China to project its navy, but chips are by far more important now. Building fabs in the US means we don’t have to defend Taiwan, because it’s looking less and less possible.

Also, China has a huge internal border, including a shared border with Russia. Even with a total naval blockade it would only increase food and energy costs. And sanctions won’t work, they didn’t even work with Russia and China is the number 1 trade partner globally.

Love all of these RSS resources. Thanks for sharing!

Last week, I spent a couple of hours at a local hack event putting an RSS aggregator[1] together for our community. Just something fun to do.

One thing I realized when I deployed is that Substack gives a 403 if you try to read their RSS feeds from a GitHub Action. The only obvious workaround to me is to pull the content on local periodically, commit it, and then deploy. But I'd much rather have this site updating itself via GitHub Action and cron.

Have you run into this situation before?

The phrasing of your question makes it sound like you clearly do not think Taiwan is worth defending. Perhaps a more interesting question would be - where is the line for you to consider a war is worth fighting for? Is it only when your country is being attacked and you need to defend it? If so, take a guess what WW1 and WW2 would have looked like if everyone had that opinion.
Other than mmwave (which this modem does not support), I don't think there's much more magic to do in an empty vs. a congested cell for a baseband.

5G spectrum is managed by the network, so the only thing that will happen is that each device will get shorter/narrower time/frequency slices, but there shouldn't be any unexpected cross- or same-channel interference of the type that is common for unmanaged protocols like 802.11 or Bluetooth.

I dont think that is necessarily the case. There are lots of practical logistics considerations that affect each around routing an capacity.

By way of example, rolling is more efficient than flying, but I would be shocked if flying an 80lb drone 1 mile over houses if it wasnt more efficient than driving a 10,000 lb van 2 miles on a grid, with dozens of stops.

Independent from Physics, there is financial efficiency, which has its own set of arbitrary variables.
Phone numbers/sim IDs maybe. Not cause people use them for phone calls, but because more people have an active phone line (or data line which gets a phone number anyway), than email, especially in countries where computers never made it to everyone's homes before smartphones took over.

Hi, I'm Partical, a Creative Technologist and Interactive Researcher based in Taipei, Taiwan. With over 5 years of experience in the interactive and exhibition industry, I'm passionate about exploring new opportunities in entertainment, event design, marketing, and beyond.

I'm actively seeking exciting projects and collaborations that leverage my expertise. If you're looking for someone with my skill set, I'd love to connect and discuss how I can contribute to your vision.
The design of the page is really poor and I find it highly distracting, approaching anxiety-inducing. Even in reader mode the structure is not good.
Think about all the hours you've spent doing what we all do on this site which is, ultimately, nothing.

Imagine if you had directed those hours towards learning or training some sort of skill. You would, almost certainly, be in the top percents of humanity by now at that skill.

It's not just about innate inability but about dedicating yourself to something of value. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of people choose not to do that.

But the point I would emphasize is that this is a choice.

It's actually quite the issue as well, because it's so enticing to choose to do nothing. Would Einstein in an era of endless entertainment, banter, porn, and so on have nonetheless chosen to spend his days wandering about pondering the mysteries and paradoxes with the speed of light?

I mean maybe...? But there's a strong argument to be made that we haven't done away with meritocracy but rather made it fabulously enjoyable to do things of no real merit.
My user profile directory on my PC is `c:\users\efrea`, which is exceedingly annoying given my muscle memory typing out my username. I "fixed" this with a couple junction points (both `efreak` as used on my Linux systems, and my first name as was used on my previous Windows systems), because I frequently use RDP from my android tablet and autocorrect keeps changing it to my full username. This is the second annoyance after finding out early on that changing my username doesn't mean changing my profile directory name (at this point there's too much software and scripts with hard-coded paths, both locally and remote, to change it without leaving the junction).

I would vastly prefer my username to be my usual username, with the display name being my real full name, but my Microsoft account apparently doesn't allow this (likely due to my privacy settings).

An open-source TUI for installing MCP Servers
I was frustrated by the cumbersome process to install MCP servers across clients that support them (Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cursor, etc), so I created this TUI to put the process on rails.

Sharing in case anyone wants an easy way to publish their MCP servers to NPM or another Node package manager with a slightly better installation experience.

Title: Multimodal Medical Imaging – AI and Quantum Physics for Diagnostics

Call for applications for a fully financed PhD fellowship

Project description:

Life creates order in a universe where disorder always increases. The set of chemical reactions enabling this —metabolism— changes as we eat, sleep, exercise, or become unwell. This PhD studentship is for a transformative research project integrating physics, mathematics, artificial intelligence (AI), and cutting-edge medical imaging to unravel and quantify these metabolic processes inside people.

Hyperpolarized MRI (HP-MRI) uses quantum mechanics to boost the sensitivity of MRI by orders of magnitude, allowing real-time imaging of metabolites like pyruvate as they are processed in vivo. Unlike conventional imaging techniques such as PET, HP-MRI avoids ionizing radiation, measures multiple metabolites simultaneously, and directly maps reactions like glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. It is uniquely powerful for diagnosing and monitoring diseases like cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s, with its clinical potential currently being explored in multinational trials.

The EU-funded project "Quantum+AI for Diagnostics" (Q-AID) tackles one of the most fascinating challenges in medical imaging: mapping the relationship between underlying biological "truths" (e.g., tumor metabolism) and the signals captured by imaging systems, which are subject to noise, artefacts, and are imperfect. These mappings are deeply complex, involving layers of transformation —signal generation, reconstruction, and visualization— before even addressing the biological dynamics of living organisms. Metabolic systems are vast, interwoven reaction networks, where only a subset of processes can be measured directly. Using "physics-informed" neural networks, we aim to combine analytical knowledge with AI tools to infer unseen processes.

In this studentship, you will:

• Develop super-resolution models to overcome the spatial resolution limitations of HP-MRI, leveraging data from conventional imaging

• Model imaging processes mathematically, bridging biological truths and observable signals.

• Design AI approaches for semantic segmentation and metabolic classification, integrating multimodal imaging datasets.

• Quantitatively unify HP-MRI with other modalities like PET and CT.

• Work closely with clinicians to build life-saving tools that will impact patient care

Nice, I wonder if this is the first of "freelaptops due to W11",thanks M/S :)
Wait, what?

That makes no sense to me.

Why ignore cyber threats from another country?
I didn't mention rust. I think he's used enough features of C++ to warrant using it instead.
The US was defending Taiwan against China long before TSMC was founded. If anything I'd worry it goes the opposite way. In the status quo, if the Chinese military can prevent TSMC from operating or prevent their products from being exported, wouldn't the US almost have to capitulate in exchange for a chips deal?
Here's another perspective: I was once asked to improve a custom data caching system that took too much memory even though it had string interning. (At that time, eviction had to be used on factors other than memory used.) String interning certainly helped with memory use but it wasn't enough. Eventually my solution was to compress each record of the dataset in memory. I found that this saved more memory than interning individual strings within each record. At that time I picked Google's snappy compression algorithm since it was already a dependency of the project, but these days I might have picked zstd with a negative compression level or lz4.

This just goes to show that if your primary goal is to save memory, you should consider storing it compressed and then decompress on the fly when used. Modern compression algorithms are good and fast on moderately sized textual data. You might be surprised to learn how fast decompression is. There are of course other benefits to interning like using pointer equality as string equality, but these aren't a factor in my project.

You didn't answer the question. It's easy to send other people's kids to war (see Iraq, Afghanistan). It's a different problem when you have your own skin in the game.

>If so, take a guess what WW1 and WW2 would have looked like if everyone had that opinion.

WWI Would have been merely a local conflict between Austria and Serbia. WWII would have been about the same as it was historically, if it happened at all, see previous answer on WWI.

As an aside and ironically, both Wilson and FDR campaigned on not getting us into WWI and WWII.
Isn't that really just "hush money", i.e. non-disclosure and non-compete?

And yes, to my fellow commenters, "something big is (indeed) wrong" not just there but all over the world, because most everyone has the same corporate mechanisms, filled with the same corporate mules, slinging the same corporate "economic slavery", as Bob Marley so eloquently and beautifully put it so long ago.
From the looks of it it seems that interning here is creating references to strings that repeat. Strings are large so if you can store a reference to it, you save space.
Might be a silly question but considering the tensions between US and EU right now... What would happen to all these deals if ASML was was not allowed to sell their machines to US companies? I don't know enough to even speculate on these wild scenarios
> Is it even realistic to depend on transactional guarantees, with hundreds of services hammering the DB(s) more or less concurrently?

If you have hundreds of services hammering the datastore concurrently, then the ability to offer transactional guarantees seems absolutely mandatory for me.

> Don’t they need to coordinate themselves outside of transactions?

I think we're back at the beginning of our journey here.
