> All formalisms have expressions and reductions. Their denotation is just different.

Well if they have different denotations they're necessarily not identified, no?

> (fac4 doesn't really express the full computation, but I wanted to make clear what's going on; fac3 is a better, though less clear example)

Well, fac3 is still old-fashioned recursion on its face. I guess you could say it's constructing the recursion to happen later, but that seems like an expected mirror image to how the Y combinator does it - you can compose the recursion and the computation either way around (and I'm not sure from a YC-style perspective we recognise any distinction; as far as I can see Cont r a is equivalent to a). I'm not really sure what you're getting at with fac4 (did you mean to read the values from the state rather than accepting them as function parameters?) - it would only represent recursion if you applied a function that does recursion on it, on it's own it's no more recursive than an ordinary function. Again this is exactly what happens with a plain old function and the Y combinator, so the State monad isn't making any difference. I mean, you can make a monad have an unusual denotation by passing it to an unusual "interpreter" function, sure, but the same is true for any function or value.
But there still is a market. Cities compete against each other and that keeps them honest. If a city neglects it's police force, it faces demographic consequences. And if citizens are hurt by poor policing, they have other cities to choose. These properties are not true to the same degree in national issues.
This was super fun to play with, but I just wish at least the Fundamental modules were documented :(

I know jack about synths, so I kind of have to gleam what each module does by what it looks like, it'd be nice if there were a description of some sorts.

Also, how the hell do I connect a single output to a scope AND my audio device?
I would say modular can be more simple than a lot plenty of beginner-focused all-in-one subtractive synthesizers.

At its most simple, synthesis is no more that changing the pitch and amplitude over time. Not having delved into this example so unable to tell for sure; that set of features will already be covered by a single sound generation module, capable all sorts of wails, warbles and glissando- think of a theremin.

Now you can go many paths onwards from there, start with a complex sound and use a filtering module to shape the sound over time (subtractive synthesis) Or modulate the original signal and move into the world of AM or FM synthesis. All by just adding another single module.

I think simplicity or complexity with modular synths all lies in the hand of the user and I would certainly advise anyone to delve in.

Some focus on user numbers, because then they can be famous, or they have a connected business that will make more money.

These are groups that will work very differently and respond to users differently. They have simply chosen similar software licenses.

I don't know who recommends random_page_cost=1, but IMNSHO it's a bit silly. Even SSDs handle sequential I/O better than random I/O. Values between 1.5 and 2.0 are more appropriate. I wouldn't really recommend 1.0 except when you know the data fits into RAM. There are other options that affect costs of random I/O, e.g. effective_cache_size.

Last thursdayism is an interesting concept that really challenges what you can determine as truth. Fundamentally all we can really do is come up with some good probability estimates that reality is as we think it is.

Much like the matrix, if something is powerful enough to fool all of your senses, including your memory how do you even detect it?

At the end of the day I don't think it matters very much. If our reality is an elaborate trick or not science allows us to predict and manipulate the physical world in ways that improve our existence. So it's worth perusing and using as a tool but there are somethings you'll never know for sure.
That would fall under the aformentioned "amalgamated" interfaces. In Rack you can (theoretically) plug or unplug new interfaces with a different sample rates and block sizes without rebuilding your virtual interface, since they are treated as individual streams (one per Audio Interface module) instead of being multiplexed and synchronized. But I haven't reviewed the source for thread-correctness and tested carefully enough to deem multiple interfaces stable, so in practice, you might get jitter, crackling, crashes, etc. if you use this feature. Some interfaces work flawlessly though.
I think XLA is trying to reduce the overhead introduced by backprop, meaning when you optimize the computational graph you might end up with an efficient calculation of the gradient (closer to the calculation you get with MC).
Regarding non-scalar valued functions: Don't you reduce a constrained problem to a series of unconstrained problems (via a penalty (or even augmented Lagrangian) or barrier method)? Then you only need the gradient of a scalar valued function to solve constrained problems. I imagine you can use the gradients of the constraints for solving the KKT conditions directly but this seems only useful if the system is not too big. But for sure it opens new possibilities.
Web browsers like the one used by Electron do this as well. The styles of buttons, inputs, etc. vary from platform to platform. They can be overridden, of course, but that’s true of any native GUI framework as well.
Store them in fully reconstructable deterministic wallet (the one that can be rebuilt from scratch using long enough passphrase only).
Split passphrase in 3 pieces (A, B, C) and store it in an envelope with instructions in three different, unrelated legal firms to be given to your heirs in case of your death.

Firm 1: A,B

Firm 2: C,B

Firm 3: A,C

This way:

- Your assets are protected from banks getting hold of your assets (including safety deposit boxes) in a future for whatever mayhem reasons.

- You assets are protected in case if any of these firms gets uncooperative, hacked, robbed or blackmailed to disclose password. Single firm cannot reconstruct your wallet - it doesn't have enough information.

- It's enough to have cooperation of 2 out of 3 firms = 2 letters to fully reconstruct the wallet.

No, the simplest explanation is that the FCC just received a bunch of comments. I have no problem believing that -- I've seen quite a few Facebook and Reddit posts encouraging people to comment.

My limited union experience as a highschooler.

I worked as a stocker at Kroger grocery store. Made maybe $6 an hour. During interviewing, I was told that stocking at Kroger was a union position, and in order to accept the job I had to join the union. I know it somehow tied into a national union, and am sure I could google it.. but I know nothing about it.

Every week, I had an $8 deduction from my paycheck to union dues. Otherwise, it was no different from any other job. I interviewed with the store (Kroger). I got a paycheck from Kroger. I maybe had a piece of paper with a phone number of a union rep, but I never made contact with the union (for good or bad). The pay was the same as the non-union grocery store across town.

So for me personally it was nothing except $8 a week to some union bosses. But I have been AROUND many other unions, and the experiences can be far different. For example, the Chicago Public schools have a very strong union. Because of it, teachers are paid a fair bit higher than other comparable cities. In theory teachers are protected from unjust firings and harassment. As cons, the teachers get no merit award, 100% pay is based on tenure. Great for the bottom half of teachers, not so good for the top half of teachers. It also makes it basically impossible to fire a teacher if there is not a videotape of the teacher beating a kid.

They care very deeply about reelection. In order to get reelected, they need money and to survive a primary.

They won't get money from their big $$$ donors if they don't pass the tax cut bill. They won't survive a primary if they're seen as being 'soft' on the ACA by the true believers in their party.

They don't have any idea how they're going to make it through the general election, but that's a fight for another day. They have other priorities first.
> ...being secretive about money flows will always put you in company with criminals.

It matters what is being kept secret from whom. I don't tell the general public about my finances. I do accurately tell the tax authorities what I am required to disclose, and I can back that up by accounting for all (material) transactions that I have made. This is what distinguishes me from money launderers.

It's perfectly reasonable to attempt to hide in a public blockchain while simultaneously maintaining private records and making the appropriate declarations to the authorities.

As you're not an authority, you will never see the legal side of it. But that doesn't put anyone in the company of criminals any more than the fact that you don't publish your finances online puts you in the company of criminals.

> It was much worse for, say, buying a book online. But it was much better for crime, including digital extortion and fraud. It quickly picked up a taint that it's never really been able to shake.

I would argue that it is the most useful cryptocurrency that attracts legitimate and criminal users alike. It's not a "taint" caused by a consequence of some criminal-friendly design. Any higher level of criminality is a direct consequence of being the most used cryptocurrency. If something else takes over, then the criminals will switch too.

Having lived in countries that separate access/transport from bits, this is the way to do it (UK, Japan, etc.) Transport is like water or electricity - it should be provided like a public utility. Internet services should be competitive with different options or packages, etc. This allows for real competition whereas the US has quasi/defacto monopolies for Internet in most markets.

I just don't see how the US would get from where they are now, to a future where access to the Internet is a utility and services are the competitive layer.

Update on Security Incident
I understand your analogy, but I'd like to understand the point behind your analogy. Would you be able to extend your analogy with a brief explanation?

Or is it /s to the point that I perhaps failed to explicitly explain the relevance of my comment to the parent comment? If so, I apologize. The parent comment said "The mechanics of an omnipotent being are infinitely more complex than evolution" and the point of the house analogy was to argue that it's based on viewpoint. The house may think that the mechanics of the human are infinitely more complex (i.e. the wiring of the house barely compares to a handful of neurons from the human), but from the perspective of the human there is nothing complex about the interaction. For the house to be self-bootstrapping from just soup would be curious and highly unlikely from their POV.

As a human our reasoning ability is influenced by our viewpoint (and that's not to say any one viewpoint is right or wrong), so we should always play devils advocate with the razor.
> I don't know how limux was done, but modern hardware may give just about nothing to the users.

I am talking about machines with less than 2GB of RAM, running modern versions of Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice in addition to all the custom software required for the jobs (including, for some, the Java SAP client). You get why people complain about the computers being slow? FF is notorious for memory hogging, Thunderbird is not much behind it, and OpenOffice and SAP GUI are Java crap which means a tendency to leak memory the longer you have it running and general downsides of simply being Java. The machines swapped like hell, and SATA disks were not a given.

In addition, web sites themselves have grown in resource usage in an exponential way. HN and Fefes Blog are the only two websites I know that I can use even when my data allowance on my phone is finished and I'm throttled to 56k. Everything other? Forget it. And it's not just data usage, it's also RAM and CPU usage, e.g. due to ads and dozens of trackers.

> network config

Actually, it's not the config that's the bottleneck - it's the uplinks and crosslinks between the dozens of city buildings which includes the schools - mine, for example, was linked to the central DC with a 10/10 fiber 14 years ago and still was when I left the school 6 years ago, you can guess how much "fun" that is to use...
I think this is also a fallacy. It's like saying 3D video games suck because you've lately only been playing triple-A titles (say Call of Duty) that require millions to make - of course those are optimised for profit, not artistic integrity. But progress has no bias, and now with e.g. Unity the barrier to entry for 3D games is lower than ever, and there's tonnes of indie games - some of them great.

Or look at YouTube, the quality of videos is stunning nowadays. The biggest problem with 3D video is that currently almost nobody has the means of consuming, let alone creating 3D video. The second problem is distribution/payment. It's still shockingly difficult to discover great indie stuff on Steam, YouTube, Spotify, etc. To a degree, that's because most people only watch content from huge media corporations who of course want you to keep watching their stuff - but it can't be the whole story, especially with e.g. Steam.
