> No, absolutely not, I disagree. If we know that a piece of music is generated by software algorithms, it instantly loses any real meaning.

Which is kind of my point, so I feel we're at least partially in agreement.

The point I'm making is this: creativity in software is either easy to achieve, or near impossible, depending on what you really mean by the term "creativity".

If you have a piece of performance in front of you, and your judgement of whether or not it's "creative" changes when you learn whether the author was a human or a machine, then that "creativity" is impossible for machines by definition - and, frankly, it's also not worth talking about, because it does not depend on the author, but whether or not you consider the author human.

If, however, your opinion wouldn't change upon learning whether the author was human, that kind of creativity is trivial to achieve for machines - it involves relaxing the constraints of whatever algorithm is used to create the performance, and injecting some randomness into it.
They'd likely know it had information on it, even if they couldn't necessarily read it immediately. Anyone storing information is likely to mark it or arrange it in some non-natural way, otherwise it'll just look like rocks.
Heads is a low resolution dimension, so CHS should probably be more like 2.5D. Magnetic orientation is just binary, so not a dimension.

The 5D in the article is kind of fishy, but in this case size and orientation are more of a low resolution dimension like multi-level cells in a flash drive.
Exactly. That's also something that is used as an argument, which is a strawman: You are refuting the validity of a number of fields if you don't accept them as sciences.

There are plenty of very valid disciplines of human knowledge that aren't sciences (and they seem perfectly fine in not being sciences since they have a clear aim and methodology for their work that, by impossibility of what they do, just can't follow the scientific method). History is a clear example.

Linguistics explanations and predictions often are testable. The wug test is a famous example.

For historical linguistics, yes, you can't summon new historical evidence out of the void, but you still have a huge amount of existing evidence to work with, and you can always go looking for that which has been overlooked: you have the entirety of written history at your disposal.
Don't worry, the people that you are worried about are trapped in a media bubble that is warning them that their right to single use plastic is going to be taken away because of people in China that litter.

Then we know that each plastic straw, bag or bottle costs this much to collect from the ocean and we know that x percent end up there. Then use the data to support initiatives to inform policy.

> My theory is that they can't attribute issues in their life to things like racism/discrimination, so they perceive failures in their own life as their own fault rather than the fault of a racist society.

Maybe your saying that the perception of who caused the failure plays into the response to it. I would say that depression in the Black community has been normalized -- that is, no one is really talking about it, but the large part of folk that I've grown up with, the large number of ancestors that I've heard stories about, the ladies in my church who would start crying for no apparent reason, the people that I've known in several decades of being Black, these people are fighting through depression. We need to normalize the healing.

The numbers are here

The most poignant story I know of is that of Rosa Parks

https://www.shondaland.com/inspire/a16022001/rosa-parks-was-...

In other words, even though you may know the difficulties you're against are caused be a racist system (typically knowing that racism is really at play takes months, years, even a century to piece together), taking it on does not guarantee that you will be supported by the community, you are likely to be cast into the same conditions and isolation that exacerbate mental health crises.

I don't know of a more poignant indicator of "depression as a state of being" than our creation of Blues

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues

"In lyrics the phrase is often used to describe a depressed mood."

The "work songs" were the songs of men re-enslaved in the mass incarceration programs of the early 20th century

The numbers also tell us that the leading cause of death of Black male teens is homicide.

https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/men/2015/black/index.h...

How many of these deaths are being wrongly reported -- young men and boys seeking out the right combination of circumstances to be on the wrong side of a gun barrel? My personal experience and theory is that probing these deaths you would find the majority to be set in motion by a mental health crisis.

As I talked to older relatives and thought through the stories I'd hear as a child, they run rife with of undiagnosed mental health issues. Relatives who succumbed to suicide, people who simply decided to leave/disappear, people who suddenly went completely silent forever. The recurring theme you hear in those stories -- elaborate plans to defeat a segregated housing covenant that fell apart, a grown man being too many times being called "boy" -- people take this pain on themselves and the torment lasts generations.

That's a very good point and one I hadn't considered. In this day and age in the UK I'd consider it irresponsible to only have one bank account. The TSB outage is a prime example of what can go wrong and leave you stuck. For me, I keep roughly a months worth of expenses in a high street bank with a card in the drawer, but touch wood I've never had to use it so I don't know how well it works. Before I used Starling (I actually don't use Monzo - but they're comparable for all intents and purposes) I had two bank accounts with different networks and did the same thing there, FWIW.
Correction: The lattice spacing gives the size of the fundamental building block of the lattice, which includes several atoms. The nearest neighbour distance in the lattice is 0.235 nm.

Wikipedia has a nice picture of the lattice structure:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cubic#/media/File:Visu...

Part 3 of the picture is a 3x3x3 block of elementary cells, for silicon this would be 1.63nm along each edge, so for a 2nm element you get a few more atoms in each direction.

Well, yes, I am saying that the millions of Americans who thought that Obama was a Kenyan-born secret Muslim (something our current president strongly supported), who support the artificial "Lost Cause" interpretation of the Civil War ("you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides"), etc. support white supremacy.

I mean, there's still a lot of people alive today who remember - and supported - the social policies of the Jim Crow era.

Funny about all the support for cheaply constructed statues in support of the traitors of the Civil War, justified by 'preserving our heritage', and yet "People keep shooting sign marking where Emmett Till died ... people in the community have widely interpreted the act as evidence of persistent racism and avoidance of Till's brutal killing and its legacy" - https://www.al.com/news/2018/08/people_keep_shooting_sign_ma... .

The thing is, her PCB wasn’t at all connected to the frame electrically. There were decoy cables but they were all connected back to the PCB as far as I could tell.

The remaining circuitry was way to simple for the claimed functionality. Basically a DIY arduino on a bigger PCB with a few leds.

Around the inner frame there was transparent silicone how her “sensors” should be able to get through that layer of see-through isolation without beeing seen themselves is beyond me.

This is why I think it is a work of fiction. I don’t know whether on purpose or because they thought nobody will notice. I certainly found it to be an interesting commentary on AI :)

In the paper you link to, the researchers trained an image classifier on data collected from 32 sites of the Moorfiel NHS trust. The trained model was tested on, presumably held-out, data from the same dataset.

This is an example of scaling a model beyond a dataset collected from a single site. It is not contrary to what I say in my comment.

The researchers further tested their model on data obtained from a different device than it was originally trained on. This data was collected from the same hospital sites. The original model performed poorly on this new data and was re-trained to improve its performance.

This does not demonstrate an ability to generalise to unseen data- only an ability to adjust a model to new data, by re-training.

I worked on a software project funded from an EU grant (which essentially funded half of the company); from this + some conversations with other entrepreneurs interested in EU grants, my impression is that the reality is similar over here.

It's cool that you can get lots of money for essentially a wishlist on a piece of paper (though to actually get that money, your best bet is to hire someone specializing in writing EU grant proposals). However, the amount of paperwork couple years in, involved in verifying you spent the money appropriately, is so big you'll regret ever taking the grant.

(One could say that entrepreneurs are partially to blame for this one, though. I hear that initially, it was much easier to work with EU grants, but a lot of people wrote up bullshit proposals and stole the grant money.)
Really cool! I feel this is the kind of project I have no use for, but would love doing just for the sake of assembling computer parts together haha

> - Nim: C/C++ interop is second to none.

This is very wrong.

There is perfect c interop - you can import c functions using {.importc.} pragma.

C++ interop is best i have seen so far. You can use c++ template types! Here is the sample: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo/blob/master/modules/contai... Of course it is not perfect. For example if you would like to override c++ method you will have to write a bit of c++ code using {.emit.} pragma. I do not know a single language that could map c++ template types into it's own generic types like nim can.
1080i is interlaced; 720p, 1080p, and 2160p are progressive, i.e. non-interlaced. My understanding is that most commercial Blu-rays are progressive encodings, broadcast may be different. (1080i was common back in the day.)

Interlaced had the advantage of looking better for fast motion, such as in sports; for example, 480i with 60 fields/sec would look better than 480p with 30 fields/sec, at equivalent bandwidth.
You should read a bit about the revolution of physics in the late 1800s-early 1900s. There was just as much carrying on with theories that are popular despite mounting evidence to the contrary. The tide was so great that Ludwig Boltzmann committed suicide.

Of course, eventually the evidence grew until it was impossible to ignore. But let's not forget that even physicists can succumb to what's in vogue. Physics does have a great culture of trying to combat this, though that has its own problems.

I do something similar. My method is always to try and fit everything I need for an exam on a single A5 sheet of paper, as if I could take it into the exam with me. The first 5 or so drafts I'd never be able to fit enough on, so with each iteration I make the writing smaller, or work out a pictorial code, or condense my explanation of a method to squeeze on as much as I could. By the time I've finally managed to fit it all on one side of paper, I've thought about how to compact the information in so many different ways that I could recite everything on the paper without it. Repeat that process over the course of 3 or 4 days with plenty of sleep, and it's stuck.

I've got all of the final renditions of each sheet I've ever done filed away. It's always quite entertaining showing people my notes, because they're a completely indecipherable mess of words, numbers, cryptograms, symbols, scribbles and colours. Imagine a sort of Chthonian cult literature. It makes me look insane - but I can still go back to ones from years ago and know what it all means.
