I’m not sure it’s not just wishful thinking that consciousness can be cloned and exist in a “software” form at all, but that general idea (and the subsequent question of whether such existence would be satisfactory to us accustomed to physical human bodies) is very much along the lines of what’s being discussed in the thread.
Thanks, I haven't heard of the Goertzel algorithm.

It's a spectrum-based detection though, so it will have the same issues as other spectrum detectors. Lower notes tend to have harmonics that are stronger than the base frequency. At least on a piano. Similar issue with mid-range notes that are fading - the fundamental frequency will fade quicker than the harmonics. There's also a separate issue with detecting higher-pitch notes, because the spectrum response to these is very weak.

That is, spectrum alone is not enough to do any sort of reliable note detection. That's where I started too, but none of simple approaches worked well.

That's exactly the situation that you should take advantage of. You can win big if you disagree with everyone else, and you're right.

If you notice that there's a big emotional or even tribalist resistance to a new technology or a business model, then that's probably a good investment, if you know that fundamentally it's going to work. The best investments are those where the general population is wrong, and their mistaken judgement is caused by psychological reasons or emotions rather than facts. The facts will win in the long run.
Breaking: Encryption Inadequate Without Trust
A few years ago, the state of California put out a video about avalanches. They interviewed a bunch of experienced backcountry (out of bounds) skiers and the various tricks you'd learn for avoiding dying in avalanches. Most of them had been caught in avalanches and described a complete loss of ability to do anything.

At the end of the video they list all of the interviewees, all of whom had subsequently died. If you think about the amount of mass in the snow 9+ rocks, trees etc) and the churning dynamics you realize all those "techniques" you might learn are mumbo jumbo.

We show this video to our students (it's so old it's on a DVD), while teaching them how to avoid likely avalanche zones in the first place. Despite that I still carry an avalanche pole and beacon.
I think this is more akin to construction workers asking for blueprints rather than cad models.

As someone who hasn't actively done formal math in a couple of decades the slog of relearning syntax to read papers about code can be off putting. I understand that this makes me a barbarian. However code is really the lingua franca we use as an industry but in papers it is treated exactly as you say a nice addition.
To be more clear a pure thought experiment doesn’t invalidate a theory on it’s own. It’s the conflict between the results and either past or future observations/experiments that invalidates the theory. Plenty of theories that gave what seemed like insane results happened to work out.

We can do a full "Video SecureBoot" thing, where the camera sensor signs stuff at the lowest level and every other level adds additional signatures, so you know the full chain of what happened (what cam took what part of the final video, what software edited, and who did the editing).

Nothing in that scheme requires "rights management".

Ultimately still it comes down to trust: do you trust the org who put out the video, do those people trust their subcontractors and (freelance) videographers, the hardware and software that was used, etc

In some cases this might help a little. But in the end misinformation and outright lies will still spread, be it deepfakes or be it just the written word. QAnon is relatively successful without the need to deepfake (they will just do a few meme pictures), so is the Flat Earth movement, and Alex Jones (US not UK) has still a following too, for example.

Perhaps they did in the past but it was not newsworthy so you did not hear about that.
And they shouldn't have. That's a perfectly reasonable argument: an organism's behavior (movement of the eyes and facial gestures) give clues about its internal state and potential conscious experiences.
Use slightly more expensive other source of the same substance? It's like killing whales for oil just to burn it instead of using olive oil, or that stuff pumped from the ground and refined, or whatever. (as was done at various points in history)

Except we farm most of our fish. And sharks are out of the equation?
It's more of a matter of human population expanding to cover the entire surface of the earth than anything else. There's no evidence the last SARS outbreaks in China was from wet markets. Much like there's no evidence it was from wet markets this time.

Fish are very stupid animals without much brain. It is definitely worth it to kill 500k of them to help save a bunch of human lives.

One of the colors that seems to have been lost over the past 20 years or so is Quinacridone Gold, denoted by pigment number PO 49. The pigment is part of the family of quinacridone pigments used everywhere, but reportedly this gold hue variation of the pigment wasn't popular enough to sustain production despite being used by artist paint manufacturers. Paint companies typically buy pigments from a relatively small number of pigment manufacturers. From the perspective of pigment manufacturers, paint for artists is a small market in comparison to other uses like the automotive industry. When the pigment went out of production, a watercolor paint company in Seattle, Daniel Smith, purchased the last batch and had a roughly 17 year monopoly on the color. Of course, artists figured out that the pigment was going away and started buying up the last of the stock, and now it is considered an "extinct pigment," no longer available for purchase in any new paint. There is a reformulated "New Quinacridone Gold" that uses a mixture of two pigments (PO 48 + PY 150), but some artists swear by single pigment colors for their more predictable mixing properties.

There is indeed low-pitch tinnitus. It's much less common. I have a version of it. In complete silence, I "hear" a rather pure 73 Hz tone.

> Everyone says index fund, and they're okay but it's a big thing on Passive Investing, I really enjoy Michael Burry 's quip about passive investing being the next big fall:

Michael Burry is wrong. Going with index funds is no more and no less than investing in the entire market, so unless the entire stock market fails (i.e., every publicly traded company collapses, which would be akin to the economy collapsing), you'll be fine.

And even if there's a major rout, if you put in a little every month via continuous, automatic investing (sometimes mistakenly labelled "dollar cost averaging"), you'll probably do well over the long term. Someone putting a little in at a time (which most of us do monthly for retirement) would have even done pretty well through the 1930s Great Depression (notwithstanding high unemployment, etc) to come out on the other end 25+ years later.

If you believe the economy will completely collapse and not ever recover you're also likely to be someone who has an underground bunker.
Many agendas masquerade as "conservation of our ecology" when they are none of the sort and produce no results or even the opposite of what they claim.

No offense but you are absolutely misunderstanding.

The Ackermann function (or rather, the family of functions with similar behavior globally known as 'ackermann') is an example of a general recursive (i.e. computable) function that is not primitive recursive. The proof that this is the case is a classical result that's part of the usual computer science curriculum, the idea being that the asymptotic growth of Ackermann is greater than the asymptotic growth of any primitive recursive function.

However, it's easy to see that you can write any recursive function iteratively; it's sufficient to allocate memory for a stack-like structure, and wrap the function body in a while loop. Recursive calls are pushes onto the stack, and returns are pops from the stack. This is exactly how compilers are able to turn recursive calls into ASM.
Notice that there is no guarantee that, in general, the function will ever exit the while loop. This is inherent; it is in fact the recursive variant of the halting problem.

Based on how the stock market didn't die during the pandemic vs. how many people lost their jobs, I'd say they are right to believe that.
I think the main root cause for this is that computers and AI are not smart enough yet to know "what's better" for your business/website.

Each business is unique, offers its own (almost unique) products or services, has a (sometimes hard to understand) user segment on the market, and each visitor is unique too. It is very hard to make some generic software that automatically gives useful tips on how to improve conversions, it can not tell "hey, reduce your price by 10% and start advertising towards cat owners instead of dog owners".

What analytics software does is exactly the point B you mentioned: allow you to measure impact of changes and take (yourself) decisions accordingly. You can decide to A/B test two different pricing strategies and see (based on analytics) which one converts better, but the software won't tell you what the A and B variants of the pricing strategy should be. You can test hypothesis and take decisions based on the resulting data.

> There are no provisions to leverage that data to actually make more money, or make your product better, or anything of substance
I think this is due to, as mentioned by polote, the misunderstanding of the point of analytics: its purpose is collect and display data in such way that it can be analyzed (by a human or an external software) which can then take, based on this analysis and hypothesis testing, decisions that will lead to higher conversions.
It's the same with people saying ads don't work and are useless: if you just create a poor ad, with wrong targeting, that leads to a shtity landing page trying to sell a bad product, you probably won't give a positive ROI and then blame it on the ad platform because it doesn't tell you why things are not working, but there are so many factors outside their control, it would be impossible for them to give an answer. You can only get an answer by looking in detail at the data of each step and understanding WHY something happens or doesn't happen. This WHY is very hard to tell even by experienced humans, so it would be very hard to have a computer automatically answer this WHY for us.

> If you can see validity in literate programming than basically my variable naming is a tiny tiny step in that direction.

No need for that, because history has shown that people like English keywords, but that's about it. Just look at SQL - many people complain about the verbose syntax, which comes from trying to make it read like English "for business people" (who don't use it anyways).
Check discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24730713

But SQL is not a general purpose programming language - let's look at one of these: COBOL. It is literally what you want: programs look like text, which comes from trying to make it read like English "for business people" (who don't use it anyways). And guess what? No one who actually uses it really likes the syntax.

Maybe you should start with Mathematicians and ask them to stop naming their variables "x" or "f" and use English instead of symbols. How about that? :)
Every recursive algorithm can be expressed without recursion. You do not need recursion to simulate a Turing machine and Turing machines can compute every total recursive function.

Generally, it is easy to turn a recursive algorithm into a loop and a stack. Simulating a CPU and running compiled code is one example of running recursive programs while only using a loop.

I wrote a version of the Ackermann function in Brainfuck (a language with only while loops), but sadly I don't know where I left the program.
