We were using musescore for our sheet music while I was playing in a symphony orchestra and, it was very capable back then. It was missing some very niche things (like Turkish Music Coma notation which divides a note to 9!) but, it was vastly usable.

I'm glad they didn't stop and moving forward. It's a very nice piece of software.

>> Does the underlying CPU platform matter anymore for most people?

Developers. They want to run the same code on their machines as on their servers. Or in some cases a library might not be available (or behave differently) on one CPU family vs another.

In theory this could accelerate adoption of ARM servers.

She was gambling. This is crypto/mtg finance all over again. We need to cut this cancer out of our economy.
Reminds me of that bit from The Simpsons:

Marge: "I'm sure your insurance will cover the house."

Maude: "Uh, well, no. Neddy doesn't believe in insurance. He considers it a form of gambling."
Even without the fake identities, she committed insurance fraud. She found a loophole and abused it; that's not the fault of the loophole being there or the insurance companies, but the person abusing it.
Do the police not like being profiled? Maybe they can take their own advice.
I’m not sure I’d pick either efficiency or humanism to describe what’s going on here. Personally, I’m not as optimistic as you seem to be about the nature of the service that insurance companies provide but I can still see why the case isn’t clear cut.

In my mind, the insurance company neglected a particular outcome of their service, and she enacted the loophole. It’s their mistake for not catching it and they’ve now made sure it can’t happen again.

I agree with you that insurance, as a concept, isn’t a means of making money as this woman has treated it. I also think the notion of insurance isn’t as sacred: the company is providing a service not some fundamental right, so this woman isn’t necessarily in the wrong for taking advantage of a “bug”
Very cool. A very clever exploit.

Yep, you and the user you're replying to are both right in different ways. One thing's for sure - machines don't generate "insights" on their own.

Let's define an "insight" as "new meaningful knowledge", just for fun. We could talk about what comprises "new" and "meaningful" but it would be beside the point I'm making.

In a supervised learning problem, the range of possible outputs is already known, meaning the model output will never be categorically different from what was in the training data. The knowledge obtained is meaningful as long as the training labels are meaningful, but it can never be new.

Unsupervised learning doesn't have a notion of "training data" but that means an unsupervised model's output requires additional interpretation in order to be meaningful. It is possible to uncover new structures and identify anomalies in new ways, but this knowledge isn't meaningful until someone comes in and interprets it.

Applied to the specific example where sensor data is used to try to generate insights about machine functionality: Either you can only predict the types of failures you've already seen, or you can identify states you've never seen but you wouldn't know whether they mean the system is likely to fail soon or not.

It's the Roth/401(k) tradeoff. For model output to be useful, someone must pay an interpretation tax. The only choice is whether it is paid upon insight deposit or withdrawal.

You shouldn't be buying fire insurance if someone has said they were going to burn your house down.

Or well you should, but if you wilfully had your house burn down anyway to get insurance money, that's insurance fraud.

University of the People is changing the way we face our educational system. Firstly by showing that education is freedom and should not be the privilege of a few. Secondly, by showing that the traditional educational model is outdated and not enough to keep up with the changes of modern world. It is accredited and I saw some people saying the level is very basic. Well, it might seem like that, but it really gives one the basics they need for a given degree. In today´s world it is impossible to expect to learn everything in the class. It is more important to know how to filter and deal with the astonishing amount of information we can get in a safe, critic and ethical way.
Even though it didn't end up well for her, it's nice example of how non-technical person can "hack" the system. She definitely has hacker mindset.
More like buying fire insurance for a house as you see an arsonist walking slowly toward it.

You know what the expected outcome is going to be and are securing an agreement deliberately in bad faith. That's not to say insurance companies are always good faith actors (oftentimes not), but it's a very one-sided information flow.
I think the key here is that it is bad according to society's legal norms, rather than any "socio-political norms". I think it is absolutely justifiable that Google filters based on legal norms, given that it is a company operating under a given legal system (or multiple). If the result was purely "technical" it would need to show a lot of content that you don't want it to show.
If you have some basic library that would be updated by your distribution, you have pretty much big chance that it would be part of the runtime and updated by runtime maintainers, not by the application authors.

Unfortunately, this is not true. Many of the Flathub Flatpaks compile custom versions of a lot widely-used libraries. E.g., the most recently updated Flathub package of an open source project (as of writing), compiles by itself [1]:

Boost 1.73, Eigen 3.3.7, OpenCV 4.3.0, exiv2 0.27.2, marble 20.04.1, lensfun 0.3.2, ImageMagick 7.0.10-13, libgphoto2 2.5.25, libusb 1.0.23, jasper 2.0.16, libksane 20.04.1, sane-backends 1.0.27, libqlr master, qtav 1.13.0, x265 3.3

Most of these are standard dependencies that are in most Linux distributions.

All great, but the problem with police is the same reason we don't use the military as our law enforcement agency. If all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.

-Traffic cops, patrolmen, and escort/guard details do not need to carry guns. They should not be pulling people over to fish for reasons to search and detain, they should not be arresting people. It's simply not necessary, and we should not use the same people that do SWAT raids for everyday things.

Aside from mass shootings and hostage situations, there are very situations in which shooting is reasonable. Let the criminals get away with the diamonds- imagine you're on the highway when a UPS truck flies past you and the air is suddenly filled with bullets. You're terrified; any one of those could end your life. Then you realize the police are the ones endangering you. Police should be trying to get to safety and get others to safety when guns are fired.

Dominance and submission have zero place in policing and should be legally punishable. The whole concept assumes that criminality is a single entity that will stop doing crimes if the police are dominant enough. It's ludicrous; the police should never be using law as a weapon.

Insurance is precisely a financial instrument.

"Financially, they behave almost identically to options. But that's not the intended use for the product."

It is absolutely the 'intended purpose'.

It just so happens, for some products, there is a 'humanist element' i.e. fire/life/home, but it's still a financial instrument.
The arms race is that the next time you come back to the page, the offending element has a slightly different style (randomized CSS class name, RGB values changed by 1, font size changed by 0.1...) and your browser doesn't recognise it as being the right element to block.

There is no win or lose, if insurance is not gambling. If it is, then either side wins money with varying payout schedules.
I’m inclined to admit the possibility that the library model doesn’t work in the electronic world, and maybe it’s a bad idea. Perhaps money for community spaces should not be used to pay for electrons.
I have read it. The point is that for committed practitioners reading books and listening teaching talks is not is not enough. It helps only so much.

Buddhist teacher was someone who had meditated and studied decades. He recognized Maharshis was very realized. His point was that Maharshis was not able to teach more than that was in his talks in personal contact.

Well known fact in these circles is that medicore person who has struggled his whole life can teach his way to other in personal contact much better than someone who is just amazing.
Dovecot Mailbox Encryption
The problem with opinions on the Internet is that most of them are not written due to some research spent on the topic; it's rather written because someone wants to be included in some particular group that happens to promote some ideas or feelings. Instead of having own opinions, lots of people draw an average from opinions of their friends (or people they "follow") and treat this average as their own opinion (they believe it's their own). I find this behavior dangerous.
That does sound awful. Did they allow a grace period for people to download/migrate their stuff off the platform?
Yup, I've never heard of insurance for just a missed flight, but I have heard of cancellation insurance for the whole journey.

It says in the article that the insured traveller need not collect it. This was probably not a mistake in the terms, I.e. an employer buys employees and candidates tickets and wants to limit their own losses when the logistics fall through.

Or you can communicate outside of electronic channels.

My point is if you are concerned that the government is monitoring your communications (presumably related to the protests), then electronic methods are not reliable. Even if the encryption is solid, they could start jamming the frequencies used.

TL;DR: It's not about having another DAW. This functionality is also important for workflows that have nothing to do with producing.

Yes, some of that new stuff looks a lot like a DAW, and for DAW users the first priority should be to integrate the notation software with existing DAWs. However, this is different: when you don't write notation for the sake of controlling virtual instruments, but for performers on live instruments, it's still very useful to be able to ‘preview’ scores and parts thereof through soft-synths. You don't need production-quality sounds, but you do need a faithful reproduction of the notation — something that understands ‘pizzicato’ etc. To that end, software such as Sibelius has suitable synths already integrated, which can often spare you the hassle of cobbling the scoring program together with a DAW.

This is also relevant for collaboration. A couple of years ago I gave MuseScore another go because I wanted to facilitate collaborating with a Linux user. The program itself looked promising enough, but I also needed playback functionality (neither of us can play all the required instruments) and getting something cross-platform to work was such a nightmare I gave up after a day of fiddling with soft synths. It had gotten to the point where I was running Linux in a VM and tried to hook together the Jack in the VM with the Jack on the host system. I found software that was able to do this, but only for MIDI, and another program that could do it, but only for audio. It was way too janky. We resorted to just synching MusicXML and doing playback completely separately.

(Meanwhile, there now is a Linux version of Reaper on the horizon, but no idea if its notation component has gotten any good yet. Anyway, it's neither free nor Free, so the idea of telling everyone in a band/ensemble to get that isn't as attractive.)

From that perspective, the potential of MuseScore 4 is obvious. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Have you considered that taking out insurance for a flight you don't intend to take, with the intent to defraud the insurance company, might be illegal?
IMO, the problem is how to prove / what is the condition.

Without clear condition / clauses, it is possible that they'll deny valid claims by saying that the insured has already know beforehand. Maybe there are more specific information?

This is a great exercice.

I found that it works great in programming too: take a very beautifully crafted code, remove some bits, and ask the students to fill in the blanks, or wrap something around it.

The students then gain many things out of it:

- they practice reading someone else code

- they have to understand a problem to solve from context

- they get to craft a solution to that problem

- they don't have to start "from scratch", which is easy to do for simple problems, but hard as soon has you dwelve into advanced concepts

Above all, like the soviet education exercice, one untold benefit is that they get to see the beautiful code itself. It's not only inspiring and driving their efforts, it builds taste.
Indoors that's problematic today, outdoors we have "awhile" if you make 500 your cutoff, we're only growing at ~2.4 ppm per and the yearly peak is at roughly 420 right now, we can probably count on 20 years before we hit 500 outdoors.
