Daily bike commuter here. It's not a technological breakthrough that I'm waiting for. We really need infrastructure to catch up to bicycles.

It's still very dangerous to bike in Silicon Valley. Cars are generally bike-hostile and sharing the roads with them is dangerous. Not only that, but bike lanes are often just a symbol painted on the road. We need infrastructure that separates bikers from the cars.

Also, people just simply need to stop driving so dangerously.
>they brought up on how e-bikes make fair replacements for cars in a lot of commuting situations

Except he's not replacing a car in the car lane. He's replacing a bike in the bike lane. I maintain my title-article mismatch opinion.
a) Photos stores its library in your Pictures directory. You can back it up entirely to any drive. Or if you want individual photos just use the Export/Save menu option.

b) Almost every app bar a few older ones can be made full screen. Unless I am confused there will be no black bar at the bottom. I definitely can't see it.

c) You can do basic side/side tiling if your apps are full screen. Most people aren't clamoring for advanced window management and there are dozens of tools available that aren't hacks by any measure.
> Not every feature needs to be immediately discoverable.

Not every feature does. But every function does. If there is no visual indication of how to zoom at all, there are users who will never even discover that they can zoom.
I think you hit it. It depends on _how_ we adapt to these modes. In some places around the world bikes _and_ scooters, electric or otherwise, have access to the same separated lane. In many of these places, scooter parking is pervasive and is allowed to park on sidewalks, etc., so it depends on how we acculturate to these modes of transportation, for sure. For exercise, traditional bikes win out.
>It might just be my luck, but the first 4 I got were completely empty.

It depends on luck, and there are indeed many empty ones.

Pidgin Still Supports Facebook Messenger Here's How to Get It Back
The author and anyone else who understands correctly that traditional music notation is shitty in lots of ways and is trying to understand how music really works should go get the book "Music and Memory: An Introduction" by Bob Snyder. It uses no music notation and explains music in terms of psychological principles of perception of time. It's not a complete theory of everything, but it shows the way you should be understanding the nature of music.

Beyond that, check out Sweet Anticipation by David Huron, and Tuning Timber Spectrum Scale by William Sethares (and his other Rhythms and Transforms, see http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/ for web versions of first chapter of each). These sorts of resources are where real understanding of music comes from. Not from the "theory" stuff us music professionals had to deal with that fails to explain anything well.

Hi,

So I wrote my own CUDA wrapper. Turns out there was a bug. I'm not sure where and how, but it worked for the earlier versions of Gorgonia but not this release.

You may also note that a bunch of assembly for the float32 tensor are missing... they seem to be affected by the same bug, so what I'm doing now is I'm planning to rewrite from scratch
> they speed up both training and evaluation by a factor of 100

The factor is more like 5-10x for truly optimized CPU versus GPU in fp32 (e.g., nnpack on CPU versus cuDNN).

ISTM you may have found the answer to TFA's question. In the early days of AI, they were looking for actual intelligence. Eventually everyone realized that won't be found soon. Today's success is mostly a successful refocusing on attainable heuristics, rather than solving many problems related to actual intelligence.
The interested reader is referred to "Mathematics and Music" by David Wright, published by the American Mathematical Society. The realization that the circle of fifths is really there because 5 and 7 (aka -5) are co-prime to 12 was worth the entire thing! Together with 1 and 11 (aka -1) they generate the group Z_{n} for n = 12...
Reading this over again, it seems like the author's not yet fully wrapped their mind around "big picture" stuff like keys, chords, basic compositional structure, etc. It's an... interesting choice to write a piece proclaiming that musical notation is absurd when you're only a beginner.

The article is about energy consumption and how to save the worlds natural resources. What has your comment to do with that?

It is having more money worth damaging our planet, risking famine for millions, risking natural habitats?

Maximizing relative economy value is not a goal in itself. The goal is the citizens happiness and health. They are talking about saving the world and you answer back talking about money.

> "zero discoverability" is an undeserved hyperbole.

Actually, it's a deserved hyperbole.

It's not like Apple haven't realized their mistakes... They wrote a book in the late 80s about UI and it's still one of the best works. But they've abandoned many of their most-important guidelines, and almost always for the worse.

They threw out the discoverability baby with the skeuomorphic bathwater.
Yeah wtf. Like I don't think current notation is perfect by any means (and I am a PLer, I love new representations) but this and every other replacement I've seen blatantly sucks. ....As with so many things, know what your disrupting!

As someone who commutes by bike (short-distance, non-electric), I'm not sure what the perceived problem is when stopping at a traffic light. I understood it as “pedestrians never stop at red lights, so I'd like to not do it either on a bike” which doesn't really make sense to me. As a cyclist on the road I'm bound to the exact same rules as cars, even though motorists frequently seem to have a problem with me having the right of way in certain circumstances. The latter is something bike paths separate from roads fix, but that's already the case here outside cities for the most part, it's just not feasible within them. Ideally you'd want to completely separate all modes of transport from each other, but again, not feasible.
The thing I most want to change is how time signatures are notated: I'd like to specify branching factor all the way down the rhythm tree.
The "restricting access" is naturally going to spread out from the city centers. There are powerful economic forces at play, plus the changing mindset of the new generation. The cost of building roads is going up faster than the rate of inflation.

That explains why the circle of fifths is a circle that goes through all keys, but the really interesting thing about the circle of fifths is that a fifth sounds relatively close to the key next to it, and it doesn't really explain that, I guess.
The article says that the "human ear loves ratios", but doesn't dig deeper into why. Here's my two cents.

First of all, let's focus on harmony (notes played at the same time) as opposed to melody (notes played one after another). What sounds good in a melody is quite culture-dependent, but there are reasons why harmony is more universal.

Second, let's focus on sounds that are produced by something long and narrow. In a guitar, violin, or piano it's a string, and in a flute it's a column of air. The physics of vibrations goes so that in such a case the sound is composed of harmonics: sine waves of frequencies f, 2f, 3f, 4f, ... If the shape is different (say, a circular membrane of a drum), then this may not apply.

Suppose we add a second sound, whose fundamental frequency is, say, 3/2 f. This means that its harmonics are 1.5f, 3f, 4.5f, 6f, 7.5f, 9f, ... Half of these (3f, 6f, ...) coincide with the harmonics of the first sound, so the sounds "reinforce" each other. More generally, if the ratio of the frequencies is p/q for some integers p and q, then there will be overlap in the harmonics. And the smaller p and q are, the more overlap there will be.

I think Apple was good at keeping things consistent across apps, but the chosen metaphors were sometimes just as confusing (if worse) than the blessed windows one.

There's a difference between an industry-wide proof of concept and a personal one. If I was making a text editor, I would begin by focusing on making a proof of concept that I could accomplish the features that I wanted in the way that I wanted to do it -- it wouldn't help much to say "emacs has that feature so that's fine".

These long term details are implemented by all established bittorrent clients. I would bet that version 0.1alpha of many of them did not, but were rather in a state of "holy moly this works! I should go show HN".

There's more to it than that though. Christianity for example exists in multiple aspect in people's lives. The aspect you're talking about is the actual belief. But there are other aspects. There is a set of traditions and ceremonies that people perform. There are the local communities. There is a set of values. Then there are the overarching organizations. And at the same time, there is a set of mental tools for reasoning about things that while they look like belief may not be. All of these fit into a ball of mud that can be called religion.

The last good iTunes I've used was on OS X 10.4 on a Mac Mini G4.

There were little iGimmicks around so it would play music, sync with the iPod, that's it.

From there it went downhill.
3. How could you write a program to pick out music that people find especially good (versus music that has surface similarities)?

Be an artist.
Some allow write.
1. Search for x (or y).

2. Ask for directions

3. Replace your location with y (or x).

4. Reverse start and end if necessary.

Personally I think is flow is better than directly entering start and end for two reasons:

- The common case (go from where I am to somewhere else) is faster.

- I don't have to think about how to enter "my location", which isn't obvious (over the years I've seen - typing "my location", searching with the start box empty, pressing a special button for the purpose, and others).
Please read wikipedia article on temperament. 7-note scales were "discovered" long before equal temperament was introduced. Equal temperament is a relatively recent invention, initially was very controversial, and remained so for a long time. In other cultures, there's still a variety of scales and temperaments that have nothing to do with 7-note scales at all. (Jazz uses variety of scales, too - some even with 2 semitones in a row). There's only one thing people seem to agree on: the role of fifth (3/2).

If you want a series of books that constitute "music theory for nerds" -- building up music theory from a solid foundation of acoustics, and math -- try "Musimathics" by Gareth Loy. It is a great read.

It takes very little for granted. Now, sometimes you have to say "this is just the way it turned out" to explain Western music, but the best way to do so is to show some other ways it could have turned out, and show their role in non-Western music. Musimathics does that often.

> Similarly, he sees managers as a way to compel people to do work they wouldn't otherwise do, and thus sees those jobs as bullshit.

See a quack. Most of us in the real world know that managers, no matter how much we despise them or even if we are of the many that thing most manager suck, we know their job is to organize those underneath then. A number of these manager-less companies in the last year have had to introduce managers because they actually do server a purpose: managing!

I don't know about the UI or anything but it's 2016 and iTunes still makes me re-download any firmware from start in case of any network issue. So if you are downloading a 2.5 gigs file and that screws up even once in that whole download at any place, iTunes says fuck you. This becomes a problem when they screw up iOS 10 update and brick your iPhone and the only way to fix it is restoring from iTunes and then iTunes keeps giving you the middle finger.
I think the mistake is to conflate "religion" with "Abrahamic religions". In my opinion, a religion is characterized solely by an act of worship that has a supernatural justification.

> with their jealous God

Does not even describe what many catholics actually believe. Does ignore polytheist and atheist religion.

> define clear in-groups and out-groups

Living in Japan, I was surprised to discover that religion is not considered exclusive. A lot of people go both to Shinto places and Buddhist places here. And that's ok. They also don't mind when tourists come to say hello to a kami. It is not disrespectful as it would be in a christian church.

> Personally, I think religion is a fine word for this.

Well it is called "Abrahamic religion". Buddhism and arguably taoism are atheist religion. Sikhism, hiduism (and even some forms of islam) recognize some other religions as being on the good path.

Asking every religion to have the same characteristics as abrahamic religions is a bit like saying that a language that do not use latin characters is not really a language.

Melody in the form of the pentatonic scale is much more universal across cultures, though. Use of non-trivial harmony is significantly less widespread, it's usually no more than a melody played over a single root tone or chord. South-Asian classical and folk music is one example in which Western-style harmony is not used at all.
This is exactly what I'm telling you. Why are you being condescending to me about it? You're the one claiming that the semitones of the 12-tone scale are some sort of fundamental axiom.

Why didn't you know where minor thirds come from?

Why do you seem to be denying that simple harmonic ratios are where harmony comes from? (EDIT: he's not, it's fine)

Why are you promoting a theory of music with absurd axioms, which manage to explain the octatonic scale (which almost nobody uses) better than the pentatonic scale (which almost everybody uses)? That's not a sign of a good theory.

It has to be somewhat arbitrary, because both the minor and major scales are common. Only 40% of popular music today is written in a major key.

Maybe, yes, you still learn the C scale first, but you'll learn the A scale the next week. In the grand scheme of things if you are having problems remembering the names of notes then moving the keys over two steps is not going to make the necessary difference.
