That is simply incorrect. I think there’s a fundamental misconception about what distortion is, and how it works, at play here.

Any distortion produces intermodulation distortion.

A sine wave will produce exactly an octave harmonic if you distort it with only second-order distortion. However, nobody listens to pure sine waves. So if you feed anything more complicated than a pure sine wave, you will get something other than harmonics at octaves.
Yes, but unlike those places there is no Anglo-American tradition of a mid-workday nap.
This problem is commonly solved in a somewhat more meritocratic fashion by having entrance exams. My alma mater had them (not in the US), and problems in the exams spanned a range from "quite hard" to "insane". You were not expected to solve everything. Then they'd grade the results anonymously, and pick the top N, where N was capacity for that year. To have a chance of passing the exam you could sign up for their prep school for a very nominal fee that only covered postage (it was by mail), and many of us did.

In some languages like Go that support multi assignment, evaluation of some parts of the LHS occur first to help with pointer indirection and index clause evaluation [0][1]. I assume this makes the multi assign predictable because the locations of the LHS are known before the RHS is started.

There are eight currently known bodies (apart from the sun) in our solar system which can tug hard enough to dictate terms of sharing/crossing their orbit. Pluto is locked into a 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune. Neptune dictates the terms under which Pluto can have an orbit with anything close to its current parameters. That's what it means to be a planet. While there is theoretical space for borderline cases, none exist in our solar system.

I understand you'd like to focus on objects in hydrostatic equilibrium. Pluto, Ceres, the Moon, and Titan are really neat, but something happens when you tell their life stories: you end up referencing one or more of the eight heavyweights. By contrast, these smaller objects just don't get referenced very much when we talk about other bodies' life stories.

The large scale structure and history of the solar system has just 8 known characters that really matter, and that's what the definition of the planet captures.
Fantasy stories intrigue us mortals. But we do see big companies or llcs dodge responsibility.
Oh, I misunderstood. I thought the input back into Linux ZFS grew out of the (Free)BSD work. If its two independent OS trees both referring upstream to Illumos, its a minor moment.

What does the solaris compatibility shim do in the end, which couldn't be done direct in the codebase? I don't like shims, it feels like the linux compatibility ABI moment where something gets added and the shim drifts, and then you can't do eg DRI any more because "they changed how it worked and we didn't catch up"

I still miss the first Napster and later the OpenNap network with its OSS clients such as Lopster. Way flawed and not scalable at all compared to BitTorrent, but it allowed 1 to 1 connections between people, so that one day I could browse a random guy shared hard drive because he had some interesting music, see a band named "Spock's Beard" and being a trekkie myself, albeit a moderate one, I simply had to hear what they sounded like, and after an eternity due to then slow connections, thanks to other bands discovered the same way, I realized that progressive rock was (and still is) even more alive today than in the 70s, although obviously not mainstream. So a huge thankyou to the old flawed and slow Napster as well.

A lot of business line applications are still written in VB.NET. Personally, I write all of my hobby code in VB.NET since it's more or less the same as writing C# but I find VB syntax more comfortable.

There's even claims it's the fifth most popular language out there today. https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2018/12/17/tiobe-v... Though there's not a lot of other parties who agree with that, on one hand, on the other hand, a shockingly large number of developers do not work in Silicon Valley, and a lot of those developers aren't using the latest JavaScript frameworks for their day-to-day jobs.

The iCE40 and Cyclone V are worlds apart. Yes, there's a free toolchain for iCE40, but you haven't an ice cube's chance in Hades of emulating a console CPU with the 7680 LUTs available on the largest chip in the line. By comparison, the Cyclone V found in the MISTer has over 100,000 LUTs. Alas, it has no free toolchain.

The cost moment to stop and start spinning metal is huge. These devices can't bid at 5min intervals let alone 30sec. They are precisely the ones which benefit from a method to store electricity, because making steam not exist means then spending time making it exist again, to spin the turbine. They bid into 30 minute supply price moments and then try to run at the highest contract bid price for as long as possible.

Gas turbines can start quickly but its said to be very expensive to do the startup. Its better to run them idle than have to cold start.

If the goal is to remove steam energy sources from coal and gas and oil, I get this. But if you have them, and you have efficiency from constant operating load, then rather than incurr start and stop cost, its better to store, even with wastage.

Back when I was a trainspotter, I used to hang at loco sheds and I asked a driver once why so many diesel locos ran idle doing nothing. he said that starting from cold was a pain. They costed it, and it worked out ok to run idle at their fuel cost, rather than have to restart. I think this is a similar moment.

So basically, I think you may have inverted the thing a bit. You can ignore free-energy inputs like wind and solar, but its wasteful so if you can't shed load in coal, its worth storing energy from solar and wind, meantime. If you have total excess energy from all sources, its worth storing it from anything which it is costly to stop-start, and you might as well store everything you can, to the capacity of storage.

Because wind and solar cannot guarantee supply in specific situations, storage can turn them into reliable power (albiet at lower intensity than the wallplate, because the storage either runs down too soon, or can't deliver as much peak)

Thats what I am reading anyway. This all feels like a classic complex linear programming optimisation problem for wiser people in power engineering economics.

Because artists have family, and if that brilliant writer wrote a book a year before they died of cancer or old age or a stupid accident, I'm okay with his family getting the proceeds. The world can wait a decade or two. A generation or two, different matter.

Also, and here's the dark part: if it's just 20 years, rather than "life" or "life plus X", people WILL start getting assassinated just to get their copyright to expire faster.
I half want to make a Kickstarter called "Let's Kill Facebook" that promises to give people $50 of the total proceeds to delete their Facebook account. I'd venture a surprising number of people who really care about killing Facebook would back it, and a surprising number of people who don't care that much about Facebook would take the $50. If it went viral enough to make an impact on people's networks, #3 would take care of the rest.

(I'm not actually going to do this, but it's a fun thought experiment.)

Obvious typo aside ($12K not $120K), this is entirely the point of insurance. If the average person would save money by buying insurance, then the insurance company would be losing money. In general, if you can afford to pay for the worst case scenario, you are always better off without insurance (BTW, this includes "extended warrantee plans" hint, hint). Insurance is for things where your can't afford the worst case scenario.

It's also a lot easier to point a telescope at the extremely specific points. Even if the CMB could be used as effectively as stars, you can't aim a directional telescope at the entire sky all at once. You have to pick a spot to stare at & get lucky.

Try looking out the back of your head for the planet hiding right behind you. Once you figure out that you have to turn around, the planet might not be there anymore :) We could build telescopes & point them in every direction though!

Nintendo had security screws on their cartridges for the NES, so that goes back to the mid-1980s. I'm sure there were other products and devices that did the same (probably in the industrial and commercial arenas), but for the general US consumer, security screws basically made their appearance with the home video game console "revolution" (post-Atari 2600).
That would be well beyond my knowledge or ability to say.

It certainly seems plausible, it may even explain the existence of the Kuiper belt, being held in the balance between Neptune and this planet much like the inner belt is by Mars and Jupiter.
Because they have family. 20 years, so you and your dependents can enjoy the fruits of your labour, even if you died of cancer, or old age, or you got hit by a bus 2 weeks after publishing your best work yet at 32. Don't have a will? Then sure, have the copyright expire. But if you have family, and they're in your will, they are most certainly entitled to those fruits until the copyright expires, just like how they can get any other business non-copyright-workers can set up. 20 years seems perfectly fair for that.

And if that means you "leave a legacy" for 20 years, that your family can cash out on: no different from someone leaving their company or their land titles to their kids. Except that company or land will stick around a lot longer.
This incident is the first one I've felt this strongly about. There have been many others, but even Cambridge Analytica, to use that example, was just taking information that was semi-public (your likes and interests that all your friends could see), and abusing that information. But that was information that I never mentally compartmentalized as private. Sure the scale and method of abuse was unprecedented, but I also don't blame facebook as much as many people did for not really knowing the extent of how that data could be abused. I also believe that fake news spreading on facebook was a novel-at-the-time phenomenon who's impact was hard to detect until after the damage was done.

My private messages are a whole different category of private. Facebook had a phenomenal engineering team and I put the same trust in them that I put in google for my email. A hack is still possible, but it's the highest level of trust that I can have in a service that I can't control (sure things like Signal exist, but 99% of my friends don't use it, so there's a tradeoff). So this particular incident, and the dismissiveness of the response, is my dealbreaker

The real reason it's called 8-bit is because each model has a limit of 256 colours, NOT because of "8-bit" retro aesthetics. See: https://twitter.com/ephtracy/status/575207275985530880?s=20

Okay, but once there are competing possible uses of "extra" electricity, it's going to have a price, and if the price is high enough, then high energy losses will result in some of the alternatives being uneconomical.

The idea would be (for me at least, I am not neutral in this) to marginalise the coal and oil and gas generation to make it the most expensive form.

If you live in Poland, or Victoria (Australia) you have unlimited brown coal, which burns sulphurously filthy bad smoke, its the worst possible energy source we have right now but its the cheapest. It has already been seen to displace high quality low-ash black coal, because thats worth money in China and India for export. So I get your message: cheap beats clean.

If you legislate for the cost of dirty cheap power, then storage losses are a lot more tenable, compared to the remediation cost. BTW economists actually do cost the deaths per gigawatt. Dirty Coal has a really high death rate both mining it, and burning it. Kids die of Asthma at far higher rates, in economies which burn coal for power. The economic costs of killing children, quite apart from the social costs, are huge. Actuarially speaking, you don't want to do this because you alienate future income from those kids grown up, earning money. Its a third-party damage problem which makes it easy for the brown coal generator to ignore, but when the kids of the coal miners and power station workers die, (and that happens) it gets a bit more direct.

Victoria had underground brown coal fires burning for YEARS.
You are correct in general, but in this specific case the program is labelled "8-bit" because there is a palette limit of 256 different colors per model. Note: not output pixel colours, but rather colors that each voxel can be.
Or they just figured they wanted a file system that also works on mobile devices (apfs even works on watchOS) with limited memory.
Probably not, no, until they were about to be published. I imagine that the choice between "run an entire data centre ourselves, store everything there" and "use AWS, but keep high sensitivity stories on local machines" is an easy one.

After all, the client computer that connects to the CMS is just as, or more likely to be compromised. I wouldn't be surprised if the coverage (or at least parts of it) were edited on airgapped laptops.

It is well known that a lot of Indians move to Australia just to eventually get access to the E3 to work in America.

The citizens get to decide both for themselves. Then they translate that to public policy in various ways - by voting for people who they expect to pass laws on what they consider illegal, and by e.g. boycotting companies that do what they consider immoral.
When I was in college, I remember taking a class in silicon design. At one point, a student remarked, "man, silicon is like... black magic."

"No," the teacher sharply rebuked. "It's governed by well understood and reliable mathematical equations. Though difficult, it is far from magic."

There was a brief pause, the teacher was normally easy going and congenial. His harsh words caught us off guard.

"...antennas on the other hand, that is black magic."

Intelligence is not limited to what Humans are good at.

Being able to implement all the things human are good at, however, should be able to get us everything that we could do, because anything we could create, it could create too.

AGI that is as smart as say a rat would easily qualify as AGI even without language skills.

Indeed, but while a full language-using AI is ways a way at least, using language is one thing that's at sort-of describable/comprehensible as a goal. A rat is a lot more robust than any human made robot but how? Overall, I keep hearing these "there's intelligence that's totally unlike what we conceive" argument but it seems like computer programs as they exist now either do what a human could do rationally and more quickly (a conventional program) or heuristic duplicate human surface behavior (neural nets). You could sort-of argue for more but it's a bit tenuous. Human behavior is very flexible already (that's the point, right). And assuming AI is hard to create, creating something who properties we to-some-extent understand is more like than creating the wild unknown AI.

Also, "Getting to rat level" might not be the useful path to AGI. If we simply created a rat like thing, we might win the prize of "real AGI" but it would be far less useful than something we could tell what to do the way we tell humans what to do.
