This is one of the best essays I've ever read.

I was surprised to find it was never discussed on HN (plenty of submissions, no traction). So go read it HNers.
If it was this review, it tells you nothing about the book: https//news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5706631. The Amazon reviews are a lot more informative.

That said, I agree that SIQM and SICP are totally different (again, I haven't read SICM), and I suspect the similar naming is a coincidence. In my mind, they're linked only by the name and and the qualities I mentioned before (they are two of my favourite books). I read SIQM as a physics undergraduate before I ever heard of SICP, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with computers. As a philosophy professor writing about quantum mechanics, I doubt the author was aware of the existence of SICP, let alone that he was attempting to "ride on its coattails" as the linked comment claims.

Regarding the names, SICP and SIQM use the terms "structure" and "interpretation" in very different ways. In SIQM it's structure in the sense of the mathematical structure of the theory (Hilbert spaces, operators, eigenvalues, etc) and interpretation in the sense of philosophical interpretations (eg. the Copenhagen interpretation. The title is therefore a straightforward description of the two separate sections of the book. With SICP I was never really clear on the meaning of the title, particularly the interpretation part: interpretation by a human or a computer, or is it deliberately ambiguous?

There's also a minor, but telling, difference in the titles: SIQM's title actually starts with "The".
If you consider that you hear sound (waves) carrying a certain frequency and amplitude, this sound has a total energy. Add anti noise to it and you add additional energy. Of course the energy has to go somewhere, while it propagates through air basically the air molecules carry it. Of course then it goes into your body. Wave Physics 101, you can look it up when you google for destructive interference.

Of course that's just Physics and not Biology/Medicine. I'd be curious to hear more about it.

Printing a ticket on an inkjet is fun when it starts to rain.
Yes the average ones are like that but the good ones I have seen provide a broader perspective, simplify solution, prevent the excited devs from trying out complicated solution with hyped but unsuitable technologies among other things. They save so much time and effort of an org that they are much more valuable than many managers.
What a coincidence! I've been playing one-night werewolf with a set of friends and I was theorizing about a way to solve this problem, or at least to create a framework in which you can deduce under which "worlds" or configuration of roles some claims might hold water etc. I'm definitely going to scrutinize this article. Thanks for sharing!

edit: the article goes in particular detail about the graph structure in their own game. I'm currently looking at whether this type of analysis could be used for one-night werewolf. I was hoping for a more general and a bit more extensive post, but still. Good share.

> A single adult with 1 child pays a lot more for housing, presumably because the child requires its own bedroom.

I find this funny, because it takes several years before a child will stop actively expressing its preference _not_ to have its own bedroom.
“Facebook makes just a hair under $635,000 in profit for each of its 25,000 employees. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, makes about $158,000 per worker. (At Walmart, it’s $4,288.) These calculations often get spun as representing a victory for automation and algorithms—machines, rather than humans, creating value. But the truth is, these media companies have billions of people working for them—they’re just not on staff.”
"Money is a motivating factor for most of us, but assuming comparable pay, what is it that makes some companies attract and retain developers while others churn through them like toilet paper?"

My take on that would be that paying more would almost certainly help. Companies who are wondering why they can't seem to find or retain top talent should most likely not wonder about all the soft factors but pay more.

There is this almost comical aspect to companies hand-wringing about how they tried everything, except paying closer to top of the market.
The first time I started looking for my next job I realized what this guy was saying, some half a decade after him. I didn't want to work for the sort of team idealized on HN: good pay, 9-5, fixed vacation days, no social events, private offices, clear spec to code to.

I wanted the high variance outcome. I say this because usually when HN threads with titles like this come out an army of people descend to say "No! This is not what developers want. They want cash".

I wanted to work in a competitive atmosphere where we had to demonstrate to the market that our stuff was good. I wanted to be an engineer but not a spec-to-code converter. I wanted unlimited vacation. I wanted my coworkers to be fine being my friends (though I have friends elsewhere too). And I didn't want private offices or cubicles.

But what I really really really wanted:

* Trust, and from that, autonomy

* Coworkers I could trust

* Recognition of achievement

* Intelligence org-wide in decision making. And true openness in this.

* Rapidity in development

* Interesting technical problems

I actually found a place I liked and it didn't have all the things but it had a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed working there and would happily "work" in the shower. None of the scare factors materialized. It actually worked really well. Many of the people I knew there senior to me went on to found other companies and I can see that they took a lot of the culture with them.

There are lots of 9-5ers and there are lots of companies for them, but the best companies for the other kind are in the Bay and I love it for this.

It's funny but when you have a good management team, so many worries go away. You don't have to protect the downside of "what if the company doesn't actually respect 'unlimited' vacation?" Or "What if they won't buy me the new Tesla GPU for my work?" A good management team won't nickel and dime you and they know when to say "Cash is tough now, we can't expand that cluster. Let's try to make the job more efficient" (less relevant now when you don't have this massive necessary capital expenditure and have some elasticity, but it was back then). They won't screw you on options because they aren't planning for this to be their only success.

In fact, now I'm fully confident that the leadership is everything when it comes to a startup. Life's too short to downside protect. It's a hell of a lot of fun to swing for the fences.
Clip Sharing with Overcast
Fair enough.

A mosquito is simple enough that I don't know, nor do I particularly care. Most insects are just biological automotons imo. So they react to pain, but I'm not sure they feel it.

As for the smallest, I don't know. It pretty much falls in my general philosophy when things are in a spectrum or there is a line. Typically there are things that are definitely white and things that are definitely black, so there's a line but it's somewhere in the large zone of grey. Or maybe a clear line doesn't exist and we can only ever slowly narrow the grey zone. Either way, this uncertainty doesn't invalidate whether black and white examples exist imo.

For instance, bacteria definitely don't matter, whereas humans definitely do. Though thinking about it the line probably depends on the observing species, would elder gods think anything on our plane is real as we are so insignificant and simple compared to them?

I’ve been using your app for 2 months on the free plan after seeing you link it here.

The site dailymaverick.co.za which I frequent has built in AI-read voice for articles provided by a third party service. For some reason, Articulu fails to convert some of the articles, which curiously also do not have a converted audio for their third party service. The failure state is not very graceful.

There’s a couple issues with organising my recordings (there’s just a queue at the moment), the seek bar, continuing where you left off and renaming recordings.

Also why do I use up credits in the free plan when I listen to the same article more than once?

If Wegener had had the ocean floor topography and magnetometry data to point to, I imagine the reception would have been warmer.

Lacking that, the proposal that a ball of rock has certain immense rocks that float around on the remaining rock, and far enough to create vast oceans, would sound quite crackpot today.
I was in a group a bit like that. It was small product-focused R&D team of ~6 people, charged with figuring out an emerging disruptive industry change, and building a new product line for that. (The rest of the company was directed not to even allude to our existence, since that might interfere with sales of the current products, and we even had a stealthy group name.) Except for me, who was the token enthusiastic kid, it was hand-picked from among the top engineers in the company.

This particular group had a manager. One of my favorite bosses, who was very sharp as both engineer and manager, honest, humble, and supportive (and formative of some of my ideas of what I should aspire to).

This splits content into three types: prohibited content (doesn't include face-sitting), specially restricted content (18R) (does include face sitting), and regular 18 content.

If you are a tv channel providing tv programmes and you have a VOD service you cannot provide prohibited content, and you must not provide 18R content unless you have a suitable age wall.
Indeed, I recall getting messages along the lines of "error: freeing a null pointer" or something like that. On the other hand, what are the chances of some freshly-written C being built with an old compiler? (possibly moderately high in the embedded world?).
Arenas are the simplest allocation scheme ever.

// Start of frame
void *arena = malloc(LOTS_OF_MEMORY);
void *next_ptr = arena;

// Allocate something
object = *next_ptr; // return that value
next_ptr = object_size + alignment; // crash if out of memory

// End of frame
free(arena);

By the way, such "separate complex ad hoc" memory allocation schemes are the reason why manual memory management is faster than garbage collection. If you did everything with malloc(), it would be slower (unless the GC language allocates much more than C, which they often do).

Programming rust on the Pi is a whole lot easier than "pure" embedded.

There are libraries for linux PWM, GPIO, SPI etc in Rust, so it shouldn't be a problem to hook up some sensors. I in fact just wrote a little driver for the MPU6050 that I'm using with my Pi, it was a breeze.

Nevertheless, get used to Rust first! Start with the book, it's great
If you take apart some more complex patches you can see they’re sort of composites of simpler patches. But then there are also some patches that are just very complex.

I think ML and GANs might be interesting to apply to FM patch design.
The mystery is why only one theory is accepted, while all other are left behind.

For me, it's clear that Universe has no bounds, so objects after Visible Universe is invisible because of geometry - we just cannot see objects which are sending less than 1 photon per hour per square meter, so there was no Big Bang less than nanosecond ago at Universe scale, it's just aging of light, so background microwaves is just aged light from distant objects.

Amazon is prepping a high-fidelity TIDAL competitor
Imagine finding out that the New York stock exchange were buying and selling shares on their own account. They see you bid, execute a trade in between, and then fill your bid. This is fundamental, you can't be the global marketplace and be a trader.

You’re the one who’s stretching the analogy. Just like there’s no need to introduce dualism, there’s no need to introduce different kinds of a flight. For the purposes of this discussion, flight is what’s being simulated by the flight simulator, just like emotions is what those robots are trying to simulate. I don’t see how that’s different in principle.

"it is interesting that someone who is willing to make their kid share a room is unwilling to share a room with their kid"

Kids sharing rooms is somewhat more acceptable than Adult/child sharing a room. Past babyhood anyway.

I suppose the problem is it all depends on genders and ages. A 5 and 6YO sharing is probably fine. A 16 and 17YO of differing genders not so much.
I appreciate your detailed response, and am fascinated by the complexity of legal systems around the world. I can reveal that I'm from Australia and our legal system seems to be good, but there's so much legislation to sift through to find something!

One thing in common with all countries legal systems is that they are extremely complex, and no single person has an understanding of the entire system. It's also apparent that laws only become more complicated as different amendments account for more different situations.

I think a good analogy for a legal-system is a software-system, here are some similarities:

- Both begin as simple systems and become more sophisticated to account for more conditions.

- Both use a language of logic to determine how things happen.

- Both usually only add more code, not delete old code.

There are many subtleties in Law, but in essence it's just a set of rules (albeit complex) which a society has to live by. The system I'm proposing would not be simple, and all-encompassing, but it should be easy to query:

- Laws/regulations

- Related precedence (cases, trials)

- History of changes

Maybe it could simply be a CMS which links to legitimate government websites. I just thought it could be made simpler to digest for citizens (not lawyers) with software...
This winter I went down this rabbit hole and back up, trying to approximate some acoustic instrument sounds. I went through a succession of different workflows, spending a couple weeks on each.

Workflow 1: feed a sawtooth oscillator through filters controllable with knobs. Eventually I realized that it will always sound mechanical, no matter how many filters you stack. That led to

Workflow 2: feed a sawtooth oscillator through a convolution reverb that uses a custom impulse response. For impulse responses, use random sounds downloaded from the internet (like wood strikes), or mixtures of existing instrument sounds. But that felt limiting, so I moved on to

Workflow 3: generate an impulse response wav file with Python, and use that in a convolution reverb to filter the sawtooth. This gave me some more interesting and configurable echoes, but then why start with an oscillator at all? So

Workflow 4: write code to generate the sound on the fly, as a sequence of samples. This way I can mimic some nice properties of physical sounds, like "the nth harmonic has initial amplitude 1/n and decay time 1/n". Also I can get inharmonicity, smearing of harmonics (like in PADsynth algorithm), and other nice things that are out of reach if you start with periodic oscillators.

If I could go back and give advice to my months-younger self, I'd tell me to skip oscillators and filters, and jump straight into generating the sound with code. You need to learn some math about how sound works, but then you'll be unstoppable. For example, here's a short formula I came up with a month ago for generating a pluck-like sound: https://jsfiddle.net/yd4nv5Ls/ It's much simpler than doing the same with prebuilt bricks.

The whole experience made me suspect that there's an alternative approach to building modular synths, based on physical facts about sound (as opposed to either starting with oscillators, or going all the way to digital modeling of strings and bows). It would be similar to physically based rendering in graphics: for example, it would enforce a physically correct relationship between how high a harmonic is and how long it rings, and maybe some other relationship about what happens to harmonics at the start of the sound, etc. But I'm not an expert and can't figure out fully how such a synth would work.
Let Go of Your Money Worries: Tips for Better Money Management

Leverage. The CEO has control over more resources than a front line employee, so their decisions have more weight behind them. Front line employee makes a slightly less optimal decision while performing their job? One customer has a slightly worse experience, skips disneyland next year and Disney loses like $500. Iger buys the wrong company or the right company at the wrong price and Disney loses a billion bucks.

Because of how much impact their decisions have, you really really want to have the best possible person making them. The best person is someone with experience making those decisions, which means they're rich too. So the person you want needs truckloads of money waved at them to be motivated to do the job, and you're quite willing to pay the truckloads to get the best, therefore the compensation ends up being truckloads.
