The article sensibly asks if the (intentionally or not) cherry-picked stats about automated driving (fair weather only, limited to specific areas that aren't especially difficult) is valid then cites a study that really massages those stats in a dubious way (e.g. only counts as a crash if the airbag triggered, no mention of weather). Hmmm...

Another thing I'd really like to know: let's suppose that these are indeed safer than the average driver. Is it also the case for the median driver?

Yeah, it's just "new technology". Like those Flock cameras, I guess.

> I have NEVER seen a single person accuse anyone of being a bad person for still preferring to drive a car manually

Just read further in this thread, will you?

Sounds like what Mazda did with the MX-30 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-30) which flopped hard. They used their new Wankel engine as range extender, perfect use case since the power:weight ratio of these is impressive.

Might be less efficient, no? At least in CL (https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/t_sat...) this is the case, that static type analysis isn't clever enough to work with predicate based types.

Can it do holes like this?

  (typep 3 '(or (integer 0 10) (integer 50 100)));; => T

Even if that's impressive, the README is low SNR slop as usual...

At first I thought about something like https://libreelec.tv/ but Kodi instead of the much more powerful mpv is not an option.

So probably a custom lightweight distro with mpv outputting to DRM directly and a game controller to navigate some file explorer ? Maybe try to script around some speech-to-text LLM to be able to say "Play me X", heh.

Or just control it via ssh because that's actually simpler for me.

Fun thing, both SA and ChipsAndChesse similarly dunked on that presentation:

You're probably thinking of LZMA2.

I've been searching for one hour, and the only truly safe thing is an HTPC linked to an OS-free commercial display like these large VAs from ViewSonic: https://www.viewsonic.com/global/products/commercial-display... (goes from 45" to 100").

Ah, it's basically a PAQ context.

Hope for the US it won't reach the FOGBANK level of disaster.

Those .blr extensions in the examples are making me doubt: the result is still conformant and playable ogg Vorbis/Opus, right?

Man, I hope for that guy he one day wisens enough to let out a "God I was stupid!" while re-reading this.

Love the Plasmadyne logo! And that Xenon card gives me strong TriOptimum vibes.

What a rosy view of life! There are no NPCs, everyone is a unique and wonderful snowflake!

In person immersion is a great way to research!

> The very fact that fraud is identified is clear evidence that is is not true

That's not merely enough, you need a clear trend that the rate of fraud discovery is greater than the rate of fraud production, not just that "some cases are found out". Good luck with that, since it's by definition not measurable.

I have a free Deezer account from my family. Shit is extremely barren. Some examples:

1. (already posted on HN) Wanted to try Midori's early stuff, but no "1st" EP nor "2nd" LP. Not on Spotify nor Apple Music either.

Only yesterday:

2. Looking at Bleach (the Japanese hardcore punk/noise rock band): nothing and they aren't extremely obscure or anything (https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/bleach-4). They're on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/5gRsPZZNgrkagQnDlyFZUC) but missing two LPs; on Apple Music too (https://music.apple.com/us/artist/bleach/74570682) and one more LP available.

3. Okay, let's try Meat Puppets' lauded second LP from my backlog... artist is there, but four first LPs aren't. On Spotify and Apple Music.

4. For fun, let's try to find that very obscure kote kei demo, (螺旋 (Rasen) - Hysterical Noi「z」e / Like「M」(1997)). Nothing, of course, but well, I can't even find it on private trackers or SoulSeek (got some mystery mp3s "somewhere").

So, if I were to stoop down to streaming, looks like Spotify/Apple are less worse here.

Lain mentioned, me happy.

Interesting article. While there's a lot to criticize about Snow's talk - that techno-optimism has aged very badly, after all - I think he's right that too many scientist types lack true artistic interest and thus insight going beyond a "neat!" while reading Herbert or listening to prog rock.

But I don't think the problem concerns scientists much more than the general intellectual class; yes, even amongst so-called literature or philosophy intellectuals. Learned but not wise is the recurring motif and I doubt anything can be done about a "problem" that's always been.

I have X:RA flashbacks now...

I guess you're right. Still, hate the kind of system that forces people to upload random garbage instead of rewarding long term seeding (especially of stuff with no or a single other seed), it's not a healthy relation with music. Mind you, I also find Orpheus too easy.

Still, if there's at least one thing that deserves the "antiquated" qualifier on both Orpheus and (I think?) Red, it's the FLAC-doesn't-trump-MP3 garbage rule that make people litter the sites with crap just to gain ratio.

Not really. See AB and its generous system yet very well furnished selection. Orpheus is simply less popular.

Movies? If you want Blu-Ray remuxes or ISOs (you do, cf 2nd paragraph) of non-mainstream stuff, it can be a bit hard on public trackers.

But I do somewhat agree with you that you get less for you effort with TV/movies, since in my experience, there's less focus on quality: encoders really don't know what they're doing compared to the anime world and metadata is often partial/absent (I rarely see the BD provenance and almost never internally hosted screenshots).

Protip: Orpheus exists for those who don't want to bother with Red's antiquated system that forces people to "play the game/economy" instead of just downloading what you want, uploading a little and seeding ad vitam eternam.

The only downside is that it's missing some stuff (which you can find elsewhere, usually) but you can be part of the solution.
