Gray just means you opened it since it points to the comments. It's HN's visited link style. It looks like enough people vouched or a mod intervened.

The US has a complicated relationship between colloquial and academic definitions. Academic is useful for understanding and discussing the history of systemic issues, but sometimes people try to over-fit them to avoid recognizing someone&#x

Russia is the fallback for many countries facing sanctions. Who does Russia turn to that wasn't taken off guard by the invasion and the swiftness and unity of Europe's response? China might have helped in another limited land gr

Yep. I've had Berlin on mind and the way it was fairly tolerant pre-WW2. It had the era's equivalent of a queer center. All burned in that famous book burning photo that, until recently, rarely had that context.[0] The person who

Folks really underestimate how many economic chokepoints there are if the right people feel threatened. I think and hope most Russians know who to blame, but it only takes one person misdirecting their rage to end your life if you're t

All of those countries have support from larger countries that aren't party to the sanctions/embargoes they face. Russia is the entirety or a substantial part of that support. Who does Russia turn to that wouldn't worry abo

I must have a very confused model of what it takes to run a domain registry. I don't know what those 1000+ people were doing before Putin came knocking, but I'm glad you're looking out for them.

A lot of people have the unfortunate experience of being pressed for estimates and guesses only to be held to them as though they were 100% certain, and possibly punished for being wrong.

The replies suggest a need to separate mental math from mental arithmetic. I can't do mental arithmetic despite a lifetime of trying to develop the ability, but still have no trouble with the mathematic intuition based on expected cost

This is exactly it. If you drugged me, put me on a plane, and made me parachute into a random social situation while still groggy, I'd do great. I just feel no particular inclination to socialize. I recognize it's not great for pe

It looks like the plane used to move some EUV equipment may be damaged or destroyed, so maintain the hope! The supply problem could continue. https://twitter.com/AntonovCompany/status/149796783633704140... Of cour

Can you translate for people (like me) who don't know what all those numbers are supposed to represent? I can't make sense of it or relate any of them to GPU demand.

I think it's a good sign for how I've curated my Twitter feed that everyone seems to understand how "regional" wars can spiral and how much this resembles the early days of the world wars. Add world-ending nuclear arsena

That would be an awful waste of jet fuel in a country dealing with an invasion. It's an important symbol, but so are a bunch of topped off fighters and more practical transports.

They were like web directories and the stuff they link to, but for one person's interests. The closest comparison in modern terms is a personal blog, but these would often host music and videos and random niche stuff like game save f

I don't know what SOTA is. Are we still on-topic here? The context is realistic instruments. Synths can already produce timbres pre-electronic instrument designers could only dream of.

by mkr-hn 5y ago
While interesting, I'm skeptical an algorithmic approach will ever come close to a decent wavetable-based synth (using samples/noises from the real instrument) or scripted sampler instrument (like Kontakt). It might help if you ca

It probably springs off the faulty assumption that HN is only people who live in Silicon Valley and work in well-remunerated tech jobs and hot startups.

From what I understand, they had experienced Illustrator users in mind when designing the interface. Same with Photoshop and Affinity Photo. It seems to have paid off.

Apple hosts an index of RSS feeds. The hosting for the files is elsewhere and varies.

The people doing actual, good reviews/guides also use affiliate links. Getting rid of affiliate links to get rid of the bad actors gets rid of people trying to do it right. The bad actors will have another path in within a month while

Yes. Lots of people. They don't have press offices like congresspeople do to complain about it though. Things like "in Minecraft" or "Minecraft parody" are popping up as loopholes that seem to work. All Twitter care

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if a company suspends a member of the government who has a budget and staff for PR as a function of serving as a member of that government, then that person has not in any meaningful way been ce
