In my opinion, the most likely scenario is that China will ramp up pressure with "gray zone" actions, (exercises of the coast, election interference, propaganda, cyber attacks, air defense zone and airspace incursions, overflights over straits islands), while at the same time pushing for negotiations for peaceful reunification.

Essentially salami slicing Taiwan sovereignty, in order to undermine their authority and erode their red lines without triggering a conflict, and attempting to demonstrate resistance as futile.
Upon close reading it’s not Shakespeare’s work, it’s a song variation in the 1640s, long after he was dead and his material was being adapted. I might not be reading the scholarly article correctly…but my impression is this is not an alternate version of an actual work by William Shakespeare.

Show HN: Audio Visualizer – High-Resolution Audio Visualization Tool
I built a free and open-source, high-resolution, real-time audio visualizer on the web.

Try it out here:
https://audiovisualizer.org

The main feature is a very high resolution frequency domain visualizer. It even works in realtime with the microphone.

The application also features a synthesizer that can be played with the keyboard or MIDI files and allows for adjustable harmonics and ADSR envelopes.

I used React.JS as the framework, P5.JS for rendering the visualizations, the WebAudio API for audio analysis, Meyda.JS and Essentia.JS for feature extraction, Tone.JS for synthesis, and Spotify's Basic-Pitch ML model for note transcription.

It’s open source under AGPL-3.0. Feedback is welcome!

I think it’s Eurocentric to imply that China is morally inferior to the US. Yes the United States have more personal liberties, but China has less wealth inequality. While the US is more democratic, we have had many questionable elections in our history. Most notably in favor of the victor, Nixon committed treason by sabotaging peace talks in order to influence the ‘68 election [0]. Giving more recent examples of questionable elections would be too controversial and political for HN.

When discussing nuclear proliferation, North Korea is pretty much the worst example and should be mentioned.

There are some real gems in there.

I especially liked the idea of CR2 and CR3 as scratchpad registers when memory access is really slow (386SX and cacheless 386DXs). And the trick of using ESP as a loop counter without disabling interrupts (by making sure it always points to a valid stack location) is just genius.
It's pretty hit or miss. And so far, for me, nothing comes close to topping Hyprland -- I'm perfectly happy without a global menu bar at the moment.

A 486DX and a 487? I thought the 487 was only useful for the SX chips?

...looked it up, apparently the standard 487 was a full 486DX that disabled and replaced the original 486SX. Was this some sort of other unusually awesome coprocessor I hadn't heard of?
Specifics sure. I dont expect them to understand the specifics. I dont want them across every task.

But I also dont want to (and currently dont have to) explain specific risks regarding what I do, I dont have to justify how long things take, because my management understands that. We speak the same language. Its glorious.

I mean just comparing my clients that have relevant technical knowledge, vs the ones that dont, the clients that dont have that knowledge need "meetings" and "catchups" and immense email threads in the order of 10 times the ones that do understand. Thats measurable (to me) waste.

Another observation of mine is that non technical people really have no ability to recruit and manage technical people. I have seen multiple businesses brought low because the "technical" person brought in to manage the "technical" side of the startup actually had NFI. Or when they do accidentally hire someone competant, their requests for resources or time are ignored, even when well justified. The non technical founder or CEO either has to trust someone (which fails a lot) or they dont trust someone (and thats even worse).

Yes and no. If everyone who expects a crash has sold already, and there wasn't a crash yet, how could it trigger one?

The stock market has been found to behave completely randomly, even when taking into account all available information.

Yes, there was a crash at the beginning of COVID-19, and the market recovered disproportionately to the amount of pandemic-related destruction. There are also many really bad things that happened and did not cause crashes. And there are crashes that happen out of nowhere.

I mean, that was kind of my point. Now that they finally have a 'war' to fight, instead of a dispersed terrorist operation, suddenly it's less appealing, when this is basically a textbook example of a 'winnable' war.

There were no policy objectives in Afghanistan or Iraq, or they were very hard to achieve without decades of sustained presence. Meanwhile they're fairly clear for Ukraine, and arguably easier to achieve, if the Russian military is degraded enough that they pose no threat to Ukraine then the war is won.

Of course that leaves the pesky issue of those nuclear weapons, but I'd find that a much better argument than 'all our previous special military operations were a disaster'.

It's also the case in Germany, but Germany sees Israel as a unique situation to which normal rules do not apply (and pointing out this contradiction may land someone in jail) and does not say "what about Israel?" when the context is any other country.

I’ll be honest, having been involved off and on with golang over 10+ years, I constantly feel like I’m being gaslit.

It’s fine that golang has made missteps along the way and course corrects. Or if people realize that some hoped-for development doesn’t come to pass, but the current state of things is acceptable.

But the number of times it feels like we’re just told things were always this way, or this was always the goal, or actually having 2/3s of the language being redundant boilerplate is a good thing (it’s “explicit”), or actually they always intended to have generics because it’s important for library authors, or actually systems programming always meant small network services, or actually abstraction is bad unless it’s coincidentally the exact level of abstraction that golang ended up with, or… on and on and on.

It’s exhausting and it’s not a good look on the community.

How do we try it?
>West has no means to put more pressure on Russia

This is simply false. West can send more arms, more tanks (US sent 31 old Abrams tanks since 2022) more long range missiles. You know how easy it is to defend Ukrainian cities against airborne cruise missiles? Bomb few airbases used by strategic bombers. Bomb few factories used for ballistic missiles production.

If west bite putin's bluff about WWIII then west can transfer technology and give Ukrainians money to make long range ballistic missiles themselves.

And sanctions! West can put a real sanctions. A trade blockade of Baltic and Black sea will destroy their economy pretty soon.

The are so many things west can do.

But US president is a friend of putin and going to bully Ukraine to surrender on Russian terms.

Echoing rchaud’s comment, it takes longer to buy houses if you need to get a mortgage with a serious assessment because banks suddenly rediscover diligence in a down market, and there are always stories about having a deal fall through because the buyer’s loan didn’t get approved. If the property would need work to clean up for showing, people might also figure that they’re not getting so much less if they don’t have to pay a realtor, handyman, or cleanup crew.

If you weren’t old enough or in the right neighborhoods to see it in the last bubble, there were shady companies mailing postcards to every house and plastering neighborhoods with poorer / older people with fliers. They appeared to be looking for people with medical bills, old people who needed money for assisted living, etc. who needed money right now and might be swayed by a quick transaction. I noticed how you could cross into a less affluent neighborhood and suddenly it was like every pole had a “ca$h for ugly homes” sign on it.
Chinese people know that Taiwan is only what it is because of money pumped by the US into the little island. It has always been the strategy of Western countries to support little states in the vicinity of enemy countries as a way to contain and divide the nation.

I'm not pivoting from it. I think Russian tanks in Berlin are only slightly more plausible than Russian tanks in Washington DC. That is to say, I don't think it is a credible threat. I don't even think Europeans believe that. Germany has twice the population and 20 times the GDP of Ukraine, and Russia can't even conquer it. EU has a hundred times the GDP of Ukraine, and several nuclear-armed countries. Do you actually believe that?

If that is a real concern, I haven't seen anyone articulate how it is supposed to work. Just hand wavy threats that if Russia isn't stopped in Ukraine, the rest of the continent will be next. Somehow the same people speak out of the other side of their mouth that Russia is simultaneously the sick man of Europe, incompetent, and ready to implode any moment at the slightest breeze.

Reread my posts. I brought up global policing not as an example of a wmd lie, but as a more logical reason to support Ukraine.

Last, the USA spent six trillion dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Spending money isnt proof that they posed up legitimate threat of conquering the USA.
The certainty of a war right now vs maybe a nuke tomorrow?

Surely you can see that's an easy choice. And if you can't perhaps read one of the articles on Bucha?
> I think we have every reason to believe putin will continue to conquer more land over time.

What makes you think that? Historically, Ukraine has been conquered by various countries in the region (Russia, Poland, Lithuania) because of its strategic location.

Clearly, western europe doesn’t think that’s true judging by their defense spending.

> There are lots of infinities that can be tamed by Turing machines, by a program that computes membership, for instance.

To someone (which I assume covers most here) who are familiar with mid-level high school maths (calculus, infinite series) this is obvious, surely. We don't just tame infinities in maths and physics, we put them to work. You not only have to be aware of them, you have use them to get some important results. I doubt you would find someone willing to argue against this in mathematics.

The same statement is true in computing. You have to be aware of unwanted infinities. I'd lay long odds there are more programmers out there who have created unwanted infinite loops than there are maths students who have unwittingly divided by 0 and got a nonsensical result. Yet at the same time, infinities lie at the heart of some important results - like the halting problem. Everyone should be aware they are both a nuisance you don't want sneaking in unnoticed, and a very valuable tool.

> I agree with basically everything you have written here in spirit, but I don't think "oops an infinity snuck in" is really a useful way to think about computability.

I disagree. The halting program is one specific result. It is merely the outcome of a more fundamental idea. To wit, there are infinite states (think: infinite strings of bits) no finite program can describe (or equivalently reproduce, or recognise). It's one of those rare things that is hard to get your head around when you first hear it, then becomes obvious after a bit of thought. Somewhat less obvious, to me anyway, is the result applies even if you give that finite program infinite time and infinite space.

Like most fundamental ideas, it leads to other results with little effort. For example, if you view the finite program as a compressed version of the infinite space, it means some infinite spaces can not be compressed. This result is doubly interesting because it extends to finite systems, leading to linking of the seemingly disparate ideas of randomness, compression and computability. It also means if the universe has some infinity hiding inside it it's possible our finite minds can never understand it. It means you will never be able to write a finite program that proves some infinitely long programs halt. It almost certainly means there is an N above which BB(N) isn't computable, and from what we know now that N may be 6. It is why Gödel's theorem holds. Most of those things aren't near as easily deduced from the halting problem, which is why it isn't as useful understanding the effects of infinities on computability.

Above I think you are saying "but, but, introducing the idea that some infinities can be described might confuse some programmers. It may lead them to think a finite program can't describe an infinite series of 1's, for example". I'm not sure how many programmers you know, because in the world I live in not a single one would be confused by that. All are perfectly capable understanding some infinities can be described (not in the least because they've probably written a few by mistake) and this new idea some infinities can't be written down.
Good point about T-junctions. I was thinking only of combinatorial triangulation.
> I get your sentiment, but I work 40+ hours a week as a swe. I write plenty of code. I don't see how writing a loop with some conditionals and regex would be beneficial.

No worries, I get it that this example might be a bit contrived and respect the demands engineers have on our time. The reason I went into such detail was to illuminate potential benefits of "exercising mental muscles" as it relates to knocking out similar solutions quicker each time they are needed.
Are TSMC chips crucial for them, though?

As I understand it, the military generally isn't a big fan of "move fast and break things". They prefer mature, well-designed, and reliable products because it's a matter of life and death - and development takes years.

A 2025 tank isn't going to use chips made using TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm node. Personally I'd expect the fastest chips to be using at best something like the decade-old 14nm node, with the vast majority being on even more mature nodes. Sure, TSMC can produce them, but so can pretty much everyone else. Losing TSMC would be a major blow, but I doubt it'd have a huge long-term impact logistics-wise for the military.

Not quite. He favours isolationism. It's just that Israel is an exception because many Americans (especially religious right wingers) view it akin to a 51st US state.
Well, one way to look at it is you are getting some portion of a senior dev for a junior dev rate. That is, if the senior dev is actually completing both their work and the juniors work to your company's satisfaction. That aside, you should feel free to raise a concern with your manager that one of your contractors is not able to do their work.

Yeah but I think they have a point in that when I book a flight in that scenario—if we don’t require that all the completely empty flights remain completely empty—then I’m going to wind up as the only passenger on one of the (previously) empty flights, rather than ending up on the full one. Unless the empty flights don’t allow bookings.
