Looking at that list, most things look like very basic components that can be easily found on aliexpress, and thus in China, and thus probably easy to get for Russia. Are we going to forbid selling those components to China or how is this supposed to work? (genuinely curious)

Indeed, it's a very nice boost, and great work, but this clickbait nonsense is just so stupid....

And i'm really bothered how it's just parrotted everywhere... Doesn't anybody wonder "94x faster is like.... really a LOT.... that can't be true"

Whomever wrote this article is just misleading everyone.

First of all, they did this for other kinds of similar instruction sets before, so this is nothing special. Second of all, they measure the speedup compared to a basic implementation that doesn't use any optimizations.

They did the same in the past for AVX-2, which is 67x faster in the test where avx-512 got the 94x speed increase. So it's not 94x faster now, it's 1.4x faster than the previous iteration using the older AVX-2 instruction set. It's barely twice as fast as the implementation using SSE3 (40x faster than the slow version), an instruction set from 20 years ago....

So yeah, it's awesome that they did the same awesome work for AVX-512, but the 94x boost is just plain bullshit.... it's really sad that great work then gets worded in such a misleading way to form clickbait, rather than getting a proper informative article.....

None actually happened, and they just wanted to track which features were actually used to be able to see how/where to focus their efforts in audacity.

At the very least it's a copy paste from a popular reddit post, and it indeed reads like a shitpost that combines every single trope...

But if honey is cultivated in a way that's better for the bees than other sources of sugar, wouldn't using honey be more logical for vegans?

I recently read an article about a doctor who was making a case that the issue is not that those 1 in 5 are "neurodivergent", but our current society is causing harm. When he sees ADHD symptoms his first "treatments" are proper nutrition, making sure they feel like they're doing meaningful things in life, enough exercise, etc...

I'm also sometimes starting to wonder if for a part we're not just medicating people to "thrive" in a society that's inhuman, rather than make society work for as many people as possible.

But it's of course a very complex & grey area, and let's be honest, something as vague as ADHD probably encompasses a lot of different causes. And it'll probably take decades of research before we actually manage to split up all the things that are today lumped together into the separate things with each their own propert treatment.

I'd say the issue is that if honey isn't vegan because you're causing harm to bees, isn't most of modern vegetable agriculture at least equally harmful to bees & other insects due to all the pesticides being used?

Or is it just if we directly involve bees, it's bad, but if we inflict greater harm in a less direct way, it's acceptable?

No, you didn't say "specifically", you just completely imply it if you word it like that. Stop playing wordgames please...

It is to your claim that he specifically failed black americans.

And it's also your move to prove that Obamas policies were actually the issue, because similar things happened all over the world, and a government can only do so much.

It just joined the musescore project, great open source music notation software. For funding the only commercial thing they offer is a site where you can upload & download scores, with the paying part also paying licensining fees for copyrighted music. Imo all looks very legit. I was already familiar with musescore before this drama, and watched some of tantacrul (head of the musescore project, and now also audacity i guess). He's a very down to earth guy that has quite some insightful videos on the musescore development and figuring out what to keep/remove when going for new versions. But also great videos regarding other topics.

So far i've seen nothing that rings any alarm bells. The open source community can sometimes be a bit too sensitive regarding paid services linked to open source software. But in this case as long as the actual software remains open source, and the paid part actually adds value (a nice place to exchange sheet music, without any copyright issues as that's covered by your payment, so a very legit reason to ask money), why not?

No it doesn't?

I just googled it to be sure, but i already assumed you meant 'spyware' (which is something completely different), referring to the telemetry (which i can get is a sensitive thing, but anonymous usage statistics to know where to focus their development sounds like a decent idea, and afaik they implemented it with respect for the user)
