Art is an expression, not an artifact. I would say intent is a key aspect... creatively mapping emotions and ideas onto an intermediary medium with the intent of invoking them in the audience.

Today's AI can replicate works of art and simulate the technical processes, but we're far from the cognitive depth required for creative artistic expression.
The actual shape in this diagram contains five octaves. That's 60 semitones. The 60 semitones correspond to minutes on a clock, of course. The correspondence between music theory and time is not accidental. Both came out of Babylonian numerology, which had a thing with the integers that pop out of trigonometry - 12, 60, 360.

Sorry, but no: the US doesn't lead in this issue either. Filling in taxes here is worse that going to the dentist.

It's embarrassing as well to witness so many Americans to dismiss what's obvious for anybody having lived abroad. The tax system here sucks donkey balls. Background: lived and worked in three different countries, filled in taxes everywhere by myself. Sometimes with a dictionary, and never was so bad as in the US, even with Turbo Tax.

No, it's not only tax filling. No sir: immigration system, health care, education ... failing to admit the US lags far behind the (rest of the) civilized world is the surest recipe for worsening the situation.

Get smart, America. You're for a big surprise when you wake up to a world that's surpassed you already in most issues.
> There are so many things wrong with this comment.

I feel strongly about the midwest. I hated living there. There are serious down-sides, and if people move to Tulsa thinking it's "NZ in the USA", they're going to be in for a rough surprise.

Do you disagree?

> First, commuting refers specifically to the to-and-from of your journey to work

My point was that you're probably going to end up driving in either case, and if you have to drive anyways, your commute will suck no matter where you live.

OR, if you don't end up driving, you're actually not saving much on cost of housing. And you probably have a lower salary with which to purchase that prime real estate. Basically, little net benefit over California or other coastal states.

> You can complain about the weather and that's valid, but the whole planet isn't California and we can't all live there for one reason or another. If a bunch of people like me moved out there from the frozen/scorching wasteland of places like NYC, then you'd be priced out of the state. Be thankful that for some people weather isn't that big of a deal.

First, I don't live in California.

I agree with everything else. It's really all beside the point, though.

> Just because your family is stupid doesn't make everybody else's family stupid... So you can stop with the drive-by generalizations here - especially these undeserved "casually racist" ones.

My family isn't stupid. Pretty smart by any objective measure aside from willingness to believe confirmational bullshit, actually. Which is kind of my point. They're embedded in a terrible culture.

Look, I lived in the midwest for decades. I know what I'm talking about.

The politics of the region is dominated by this sort of stuff. It's a LOT more common and MUCH more difficult to avoid in the midwest. The composition of state houses speaks for itself. Name a midwestern state and I'll go member-by-member through its General Assembly to demonstrate to you the obscene popularity of blatant intolerance. Seriously, shoot.

It bleeds over into every aspect of life.

If you're lucky enough to be white male and straight, you can just avoid talking to people all-together, or silo yourself off from your community, and mostly ignore the terrible culture of the region. Which is what I did. But if you like living in a community where you know and respect your neighbors, the midwest can be a tough place to be.

No. Not automatically.

Animals don't have rights. Not dolphins, not elephants, not chimpanzees, not bonobos, not octopus. Not even eusocial animals like ants or bees, which clearly form stratified societies, and live within complex structures of their own making.

There's no guarantee that aliens would enjoy anything beyond conservation status.

If no diplomatic channels can be established with human society, we'll see species from other worlds treated like animals.
I found a really good dentist in the Auckland area. Not the cheapest, but he has some awesome credentials and I believe at least partly specializes in cosmetic dental work. Fixed a bad fill job my wife got in Indonesia, gave me advice on a crack forming in a tooth, and steered me away from whitening(which I'd say turned out to be the right choice for me). A true craftsman. Was bummed about having to find a new dentist when we left NZ for the US :|

Interestingly, I also know a guy in Dunedin that works in IT; remote for a company up in the Auckland area..
> all the cases we can visualize (0, 1, 2, and 3, to a limited extent 4 if you use time as a dimension, which is suitable for raw visualization but makes rotation hard)

For visualizing within your own mind, I suggest that color makes a better 4th dimension than time does. (On paper, it's hard to see colors behind other colors, but it's not difficult to imagine this.)
My understanding is that most of them came from plant life, and a lot of that from the ocean - so I don't think the animal biomass would really add that much.
> exposed to something bitcoin had grown immune to

I don't know where this myth is coming from that Bitcoin is immune to state-level actors. If a relatively large government really wanted to manipulate the Bitcoin network, they could either just buy some thousand Bitcoin and spam the network with transactions or buy enough hardware to get over 50% hashing power. Especially China only needs to take down the 2 or 3 top miners and can cut the mining power in half within a day.

Bitcoin is simply not interesting enough at the moment to get manipulated by state-level actors. But that doesn't mean that it's impossible, regardless what Bitcoin advocates want you to believe.

This drawing shows a closed cycle covering five octaves. But musical pitches are not a closed cycle, they keep going down and up from there. How can you take this drawing and extend it to an arbitrarily high or low pitch? Make it a spiral.

What you're seeing is a spiral at an angle orthogonal to the angle of view. Imagine a spiral curling around the Z-axis, and a viewer looking straight down Z. The arms of the spiral aren't visible because they are occluded.

Are there guides on how to do this? I've always assumed that passing by value helps but I'm wondering if there's more explicit guidance out there?
Thank you for your detailed and reasoned response. But again, I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

First, you are speaking in terms of numerators but not denominators. Sure, we have 78 million people going through O'Hare of Chicago vs. 18 million for Ben Gurion. But the US has far more people and far more wealth than Israel as well as very large number of seasoned combat veterans.

Many Israelis carry firearms including those that live outside the green line. Those armed Israelis have stopped terrorists. In the case of a Yeshiva in Jerusalem a few years ago a terrorist killed 8 students but was stopped by another student who had a firearm (of course, former military). I know of another person who shot a terrorist who was shooting a machine gun at a bus. He was a hero but Israel doesn't publicize it because it makes him a target.

It may not be as perfect to have US International airports have the same level of security as Israel, but it could be much better than it is today. I'm not certain why Israel has the 3 hour rule.

As it is, for flights, airlines ask that you come to the airport two hours in advance, and in particular that is true for international flights.

Airports should receive more funding for security to 1) speed up the process and 2) use formal military combat vets properly trained. I suspect a small increase in the flight ticket tax to use for airport security would make the difference.

> "the airlines would simply go bankrupt [more often than they already do]."

They often go bankrupt partially because air travel for most is a commodity and it is hard to make profits with a commodity with many substitutions. Of course, consolidation such as United buying out Continental a few years ago makes airlines a bit less of a commodity because of fewer alternatives for flight.
This all assumes that aliens aren't omnipotent compared to us human ants...we may be what's for supper...

Declaring your income does not mean that both will tax you.
> It's because Go still has a garbage collector, and that always comes with a price tag.

This is not really true, at least not as such a general claim.

1. malloc()/free() can be either faster or slower than garbage collection. It depends on implementation details and is situational. Note in particular the issues of memory locality and temporary allocations.

2. This assumes an omniscient programmer who has perfect knowledge of when to allocate or free. In reality, memory management is a traditional cross-cutting concern, and in order to deal with it manually in a modular fashion, you will typically introduce additional overhead. Examples:

- in C++, m[a] = b, where m is a map, and a and b are strings requires that both a and b are being copied. This is not necessary in a GCed language.

- naive reference counting has significant overhead, significantly more than a modern tracing GC.

- even unique_ptr has overhead (though less so than reference counting).

Garbage collection allows you to have the necessary global knowledge to (mostly) eliminate memory management as a cross-cutting concern, because the GC is allowed to peek behind the scenes and ignore abstraction boundaries.

3. Things that C is fast at is usually also allocation-free code, i.e. iterating over arrays or matrices. The performance of such code is not going to be any different in a GCed language, assuming an optimizer of comparable caliber.

You took the whole "value provided" into a strange direction.

Money is a number of things. It is also captured reciprocal altruism, the "value" you provide is often times compensated with money. (Not always)

"Landing a job"

That language makes it seem like you fall into, stumble across, or get "lucky" to work for another man or woman (ie: a JOB)

That language and thinking is precisely what is holding people back from delivering on their life's work and maximizing the value provided to society.

"Giving up my entire life"

Did Steve Jobs, Ghandi, Mandela, Lincoln "give up their lives"?

This is all perspective.

I've been to NZ a few times, love the country, but agree with quite a few of these downsides.

I'd also tack on that the variety of transportation options are very low. Cycling and public transit infrastructure is very poor and far, far behind other first world countries. From my understanding traffic and commuting in Auckland is a complete nightmare due to the weak public transit system. It's a bit of a southern hemisphere LA. Auckland has finally recognized they have a problem and they're slowly fixing things, but they have a long way to go. They've just recently reorganized their bus system so that should help some.

The housing bubble is extremely bad in NZ so that spikes the cost of living. Another con is that it feels that NZ, like many countries, is having trouble transitioning from the mindset that everyone should have a single family home, to one where denser apartment living is going to be necessary. Auckland is very sprawling endlessly as there's a reluctance to densify and change established neighbourhoods.
I left DC for Maine. So far, the novelty hasn't worn off. I like to think of cold, snowy winters as the natural repellent that prevents us from getting too crowded.

I am screwed if my job goes away (screwed in that I'd have to move). For one, there aren't a lot of fortune 500 companies up here, and I've noticed a desire for smaller companies to prefer people with small/startup experience. I don't blame them, some of the challenges are unique. Also, given where I'm at in my career on the low end of the executive ranks, there just aren't a lot of laterals available up here on a good day.

All of those downsides and it's still the best move I ever made.

You are teaching the computer to produce simple pictures of things that you find meaningful in response to prompts. You draw something from your imagination into the real world. You won't have built a machine that can draw until it produces a picture that it made on its own initiative without your prompt.

The second paragraph mentions a couple of reasons:

For vector output, there's also a subtle but important distinction between machine-drawn images (based on rasterized data) converted to vectors, and generating machine-drawn vector images. The latter could be more useful in (as you mention) animation, as well as producing vector images with clearly isolated elements - e.g., a vector image wherein occluded elements are represented with full masked shapes (preserving editable layers) rather than a single "flattened" vectorized layer.

I don't mind the idea of figuring my own taxes, after all I can lookup all the numbers pretty easily, but the main obstacle to that is the tax instructions are impossible to parse.

We should require the IRS to release the tax forms in a machine-readable format, e.g., as open-source software. The human-readable instructions should merely be the spec.

It's only 10min [using Turbo Tax | Tax Act | Whatever] if you have a simple 1040/1040EZ. Even simple things like 1099-DIV or 1099-INT, capital gains & losses on investments (including employee stock purchase or options programs), and charitable donations can add many hours, especially if the software doesn't have an automated interface to your various financial accounts. I typically use Turbo Tax, too, and even pulling in the previous year's filing it still takes 1-2 full days to get everything roughly correct & complete.

I think you're letting the immediate past (Wii and WiiU) unfairly color your perceptions of Nintendo. Even as recently as Gamecube, Nintendo released a "cutting edge" (from a console gamer's perspective) system. It offered performance near to XBox and certainly more powerful than the PS2. I say this even though I had a PS2 that generation because I found the extreme parallelism in the architecture really interesting. I even had one of the PS2 Linux kits, though I didn't do all that much with it.
