A lot of the binaural stuff try to set up "beats" by playing a slightly different frequency to each ear. Neither frequency is 40Hz, but the beat frequency may be.

Also, if the environment is not soul-crushing and polluted, then it might actually be pleasant to go for a short walk.

If you have to push a baby carriage 2 kilometers just to go to the store, then that is, by definition, not a very walkable neighborhood.

Neighborhoods with the highest walkability scores have good stores within a couple blocks radius. Or, in other words, about the same distance that it takes to traverse a Wal-Mart parking lot.
> It's compromises up and down the chart

What compromises?

They're literally always on my person. At all times. Without even having to think about it, because they just come along with my phone and keys whenever they change pockets.

I can wear them all day and basically forget they're there, even when pausing audio to have conversations with people physically in front of me.

For phone calls, they're measurably more convenient since I can just leave my phone on my desk and continue whatever it was I was previously doing.

The "compromises" I have to make, on the other hand are completely insignificant. Sometimes I have to take one earbud out. Sometimes the case is low on battery so I plug it in at the nearest cable on my desk or nightstand. The audio quality is perfectly fine, I have never noticed a difference unless I was explicitly trying to look for one.

> Are people nowadays really that rich that they can dump 150 USD EVERY two to three years just to get rid of a wire?!

Why do you seem to believe that these will only last two or three years? Mine are 2.5 years in and I can't say I've noticed any kind of battery degradation. Surely they won't continue to last indefinitely, but every other wired headphone I've used has had the wire fray sooner or later anyway.

> Also, I just can't fathom people's willingness to let so much tech into their lives.

I can't reply to the other comment you made, but I find it telling that you've decided that you get to be the gatekeeper for what is "too much tech" and what's not. From that comment, "Every person deserves... a laptop... and a smartphone". And headphones too, apparently. But wireless headphones are where we as a society should draw the line?

Somehow I don't think I'd be surprised to find you having this same conversation ten years ago deriding how rich people must be to afford a $1,000 cell phone every few years, when flip phones are just as good and aren't full of compromises like software keyboards.
At 9 years old most kids have not been playing long. It wouldn't surprise me if he studied more hours than everyone else in his class (homeless implies no other toys to play with) which begs the question why are the other 26 better than him with less study. Note that wouldn't surprise me doesn't mean much - I have no clue how much study he does.
>There's no way professional music can be played live on any Android based product.

There are some very recent developments on that frontier[1]. Let's hope that the new Oboe API will result in usable music software on Android.

I have a DX7 emulator on Android that is pretty good latency-wise when used with a MIDI controller.

Sadly, touchscreen latency is still way too big for anything musical (and the new Oboe API doesn't address that).

I think Tesla eventually has a catastrophic accident and is sued and/or criminally prosecuted into oblivion. I feel sorry for the people who are going to have to die for this to happen.

This trope that humans are bad drivers is, in general, crap. Humans are very good drivers. The US has 7.3 deaths per billion km driven. This means if you drive 50km a day, every day, you are (essentially) guaranteed to die... after 7500 YEARS. You have less than a 1 in 10 million chance of dying on any given trip you take. That is NOT risky, and is NOT dangerous.
Who is Magnus Carlson?
One thing that recently made me immediately recall the book was a story I read about "fake influencers", that is people who go on holidays, but pretend to be paid social media influencers to prop up their own instagram channels and whatnot to appear successful.

This seemed so absurd to me that I had to think of the Soviet joke about the workers "pretending to work while the bosses pretend to pay". And it struck me as sad but also funny that we are entering a stage of economic development, that for an increasing number of workers, looks more like a giant collective inside joke than actual meaningful or genuine labour.
i would not take those chances. if the self driving car is only slightly better then average driver in fatal accidents that's not good enough. most of accidents happen because of distractions (texting and so on) and if a self driving car is only slightly better then average driver I can get a lot better if I just don't use my smartphone while driving and don't sit behind a wheel tired.

so it's not enough to be better then average driver. It needs to be as good as "good" driver or better before I would trust it.
Model Y will have Full Self-Driving capability, enabling automatic driving on city streets and highways pending regulatory approval, as well as the ability to come find you anywhere in a parking lot.

It's not really fixed though. When using vim-go with gopls, I see extortionate memory and CPU usage relative to what gocode used to use, and glacial lookup times compared to what gocode used to offer. Maybe it's perfectly adequate for you, and if so that's great! But that has not been my experience. Neither gopls nor any of the dozen forks of gocode I've tried since 1.11 has come close to the pre-modules experience for speed, accuracy and acceptable resource usage.

I tried to use the profiling flags to get some data to file reports, but ran out of yak-shaving time when I realised was trying to flush out a bug in the tool command helpers in golang/go where it would write empty profiles if the process was shut down the exact way vim was shutting it down. That may have been fixed since, I haven't had a chance to look back into it.
There is a difference between rejecting a claim and not accepting a claim, yet you use both expressions to describe the position of an atheist. Which one is it?
This, except also relatively compared to reaction time thresholds/max latency for hci.

For example in predictive typing anything above ~100ms (don't remember the number but there's an exact measurement on the Gmail paper for smart compose) is noticeable and very annoying to a user.

Or video chat, I'd be curious to see the video latency required for a user to notice lag between audio & video.

I know in game dev, I was always taught that 60fps is fine, but then there are gamers swearing up and down when they drop below 140fps. Would be curious to see what the max allowed latency is here as well.

Another common one is the microexpressions latency which is frequently quoted as 1/20 of a second (max latency before an emotion detector starts to miss the microexpression).

I feel like these are the real goalposts in tech; especially in ML, we've got the accuracy/quality and now we need the speed. Every research paper likes to brag about how many ms it takes for one step, I'd like to see this compared to the maximum latency required for practical HCI.
> It does in fact put probabalistic limits on the size of the elephant.

Emphasis added (obviously). This word was missing from the analysis of whatshisface (GGP). While all of our models are probabilistic, and it would be silly to constantly describe everything this way in normal parlance, a discussion of how we want to go about building and interpreting models of the world is exactly the domain where this needs to be explicitly stated. You're not wrong here, but neither is GP. GGP is wrong, though not provably so (again, obviously).

> In effect, we can make a statement like "at least 90% of studies like ours will detect an elephant larger than 20 microns if it is actually there on the table".

The "in effect" disclaimer makes this statement arguable, but fundamentally we still can't say that. We can only say whether or not an elephant was detected, since detection (in this sense) is subjective. We can't say whether elephants actually exist or not. Perhaps all tables have invisible elephants on them, or perhaps all elephants are hallucinations shared by multiple humans through crazy coincidence. If 50% of elephants that actually exist on tables are invisible, and 10% of visible elephants are not detected due to error, then only 45% of studies will detect an elephant even though it will still seem like 90% to best of our knowledge. Since we don't know what percentage of elephants are currently detectable we need to be even more ridiculous and say something like "we guesstimate that there is a 99ish% chance that at least 90% of studies like ours will detect an elephant larger than 20 microns if it is actually there on the table".

I wanted to launch with a simple pricing model, but I'm working on developing a longer term (annual/lifetime) plan to sit alongside the monthly one. I think that's an important point.

A user could also disable their subscription for longer periods of inactivity, but that's obviously not ideal for a regular but infrequent project (e.g. a couple days per month).
This. And somewhat discouraged by the seemingly imaginary 44% discount on the pricing page. Has 8.95/mo ever been the price? Is it going to be? Is this just a permanent gimmick? Without any details or explanation it seems disingenuous.

I also can't find any info about exporting data for backups or what happens to data if a subscription is paused for a period of time. Since it isn't called out my default assumption is that data is trapped and lost respectively.

Generally looks like something I'd love to use but would be great to clarify those points.
If you read the research that indicates that climate change is conributed to by eating meat there is a very wide variation in the contribution within each industry. Most of them had a +/- of 50% based on the individual practices of the farmer, and butcher/processing plant.

It is a contrived example but also a realistic example. While there was no situation in the article I can remember where the best farming practices produced less green house gases than plant based food, it was a pretty wide spectrum.
What churches use this? As an (open minded) atheist it annoys me that religious groups get privileges over the rest of us, (when most of the time these religions seems to amount to a lack of critical thinking and objectivity).

I would be interested in trying something like this, but the likely means would seem to be likely criminal and unsupervised.

(Saying that I live in Spain and have seen some something like "bufo" toad stuff advertised alongside ayahuasca in retreats with a bit of new age crap thrown in for good measure. As an open minded atheist I would like to experience something like that without any belief based religious stuff attached). In my own country it would most definitely be illegal.
Ok, but a lot of people are arguing something along the lines of "there is a bug in the pacemaker, let's take take out everyone's pacemakers".

Chambers says: Atheists believe god does not exists. This is a claim: that atheists have evidence god does not exist. And that is inaccurate.
They are arguing that this isn't boolean logic.

Since when does accountable mean being fined over $1 billion? It is beyond absurd. If Waymo gets a speeding ticket in Europe, should it also be for $1 billion? At least the speed limit is a clearly defined rule. Selectively enforcing an arbitrary definition of "anticompetitive" is not.
Part of the problem is that p-values are not the best indicator in all applications. One question in my work is whether a process change affects the yield. A confidence interval of (-1%,+1%) is much different than (-20%,+20%), even though they would look the same if I was just interested in the p-value. We might also accept changes with a (-1%,+10%) confidence interval. We can't 'prove' that yields would increase, but there is significantly more upside than downside.
Yes to this as well. They found a variation of +/- 50% of gasses produced based on the individual practices.
It's still really convoluted and removed from the actual elephant. From a frequentist perspective, the elephant either is or is not on the table, and if it is then it has a certain size - not random quantities subject to probabilistic statements.

If you're willing to treat probability as a measure of uncertainty, then you'd be right at home as a Bayesian.

that's not true. i use visual studio code and emacs, both on windows, to develop scheme that runs on wsl (since many schemes don't support windows). in visual studio, i use bash in the integrated terminal which takes care of running the binaries on wsl, and in emacs, i update my user init file to use "wsl.exe scheme" for the scheme application, where "scheme" is in my wsl path. launching a repl works just fine, and it's able to load files without issue.

what path translation are you talking about? if there's an actually a problem with something you've tried, then it is probably a problem with python and not the setup. as i said, i regularly do what i mentioned above with no issues. wsl can see both files local to it and on the windows system.
Not only this, but even if the money comes back anyhow (and I am casting doubt on it, never heard of any insurances) all the international influence built will be lost, because it was done specifically for the parties of some countries supporting tyrants.

I think this project is very cool, great job on splitting the internal logic into components too!
Asserting that something doesn't exist, when there's no compelling evidence that thing exists, is arguably the antithesis of a factual assertion. Claiming that god doesn't exist isn't asserting a greater truth about the nature of the universe, it's the linguistic cancelation of an unsupported, invented concept. Without the concept of god in place first, "God doesn't exist", doesn't exist, it doesn't have to.

That is to say, in practical terms, consciously choosing to not believe in something is the same as not having any concept of that thing to begin with.
You can add any chord you want! Just click anywhere on a chord line and enter the chord you like (or click on an existing chord and type to change it). You will also get recommended chords for that location in your song as part of the autocomplete. The theory tools on the right are just meant as an alternative way to add chords / progressions that sound great with your song, plus some goodies like transposition.

I really do want a way to incorporate roman numerals, especially with the progressions. I need to find a way to do it without cluttering the UI, but I love the idea.

There is no such thing as "facts of a theory". Theories are not facts. I don't understand why you persist in talking about these two different things as if they were the same.

> I don't see how statements about it can be encoded without making reference the theories in use by the experimenter.

Huh? The portions I already referred to as giving facts do just that. You don't have to have any particular theory to understand what those portions are describing. What's the problem?

> Suppose that later these results need to be translated into the language of a new theory in order for them to be communicated with future generations (who may not know what a wavelength is).

The word "wavelength" doesn't occur anywhere in the description of how the experimental apparatus was set up, how the observations were made, and what the observations were (as opposed to theoretical model-based descriptions).

I think you're making this a lot harder than it needs to be by refusing to distinguish between factual descriptions of an experiment and theoretical interpretations of the results.
