Depends entirely on how much data you have. If it’s less than 1TB then $.005/GB/month is less than $5/month. These days most people would blow past 1TB pretty easily so for most people unlimited Backblaze backup would be cheaper (if your on Mac or Windows where it is even an option).

Cool. I have a garden with mostly roma tomatoes for canning and a couple of dark tomatoes like Cherokee black or black icicle. I used Boston pickling for the cucumber since I like pickles and they work fine fresh too. I have plans for carrots and garlic but the soild type isn't great here since there's a lot of clay. Maybe after a few more years of composting and fertilizing the soil will be loose enough. I'm planning for purple hardneck garlic and one type of orange carrot with another type of black carrot. Of course there's tons of other stuff I grow too. I'm sure with a 1/4 acre you'll problem find some other things to add to the mix.
Do you also trust that the recipient will keep their emails secure?

Edit: Moreover, if we assume that there could be a bad actor that wants to know your secret, you have now endangered that 3rd party by giving them your secret.

Again, another scenario: You might trust that 3rd party now, but not in a years time (when, hopefully, you're still alive). Well, the good news is, you never revealed your secret to that 3rd party and you have no obligation to continue making them the recipient of your secret.

About 8 years ago my wife and I were driving to Vegas from Houston. Its basically 2 roads, I-10 from Houston to Phoenix and then some shitty state highway between Phoenix and Vegas.

Along I-10, we were stopped 5 different times at immigration checkpoints and asked a single word question "American?" and sent on our way. Our final stop was on the bypass bridge next to the Hoover Dam, same single word question, except this time, they required our IDs and asked for passports.

My wife and I are US Citizens, and at the time had no passports. Mine had expired around the year 2000, and she had never had one. Trying to explain that to some asshole hassling us felt impossible. After 15 minutes of us pulled to the side, they brought our licenses back to us and sent us on our way.

We never drove to Vegas again.
You could always legally pay. The price was quite high because you needed to pay for cable + premium channels in addition to renting at blockbuster video.

However with all the streaming services it's not just as high if not higher if you want everything. Not to mention the crazy Disney fee ($30+ / movie in addition to the monthly subscription). It's great as a DIS shareholder, but pretty terrible for their fans.

24-bit sound cards will often have 8+ bits of noise. None can provide can capture true 24-bit audio data.

Human ears are at their highest sensitivity level in the early teenage years. After that, it is all downhill in terms of what a human can hear.

The highest audio frequency a human can hear across their lifetime is about 20kHz, give or take a few hundred Hz.

It is true that audio data is captured in samples, and a naive way to view that sampled waveform is with a stairstep-type of a curve, but that is not how audio is stored. The gaps between samples is undefined, and is not defined as the nearest or most recent sample value. This means that when the original waveform is restored from the sampled audio, the only possible solution that fits the sampled audio points is the original audio itself. Bits per sample only changes the noise floor of the signal.

Audio is weird in this way. 44kHz 16-bit audio is capable of capturing any audio waveform that a human being can hear. There probably are exceptions to this rule who can hear, possibly, up to 23kHz or 24kHz audio, and there would only be a couple dozen of these people on the entire planet, and it is likely that they would not know how exceptional their hearing is.

Depends on how large the swarm is. Using our sun as the example a 1AU swarm would be very warm, but at 100 AU it would be extremely cold and much harder to detect.

Really though, a Dyson’s swarm isn’t that efficient long term. It’s likely better to dismantle large stars and use fusion reactors with heat sinks at close to 2.73 Kelvin as possible.
Again, this isn't really true although of course there are significant overheads beyond salary. Here are some somewhat UK-centric examples: pension, employer NI, other benefits such as healthcare, office space, equipment, heating and lighting (by which I mean all business utility bills), licenses and subscriptions. Still, the total cost of a junior, even taking all of these into account, is nowhere near $120k anywhere I've worked.
> How can we say that with confidence, though? What if we're just still scratching at the surface of fundamental physics? What if in 3,000 years we have much more than our subjective interpretations and do pretty much understand what's going on?

> This feels like a little bit like a "God of the gaps" type argument. It's fair to say we likely don't truly understand the fabric of reality, the universe, and matter, but it doesn't necessarily mean we can't or never will.

I'm just extrapolating the trend - of course I don't know what end-game physics looks like, but I'm basing my understanding over what's happened so far.

All we have to build our interpretations on are what we know now. That's the reason we no longer believe in supernatural causes - we've figured out better explanations for enough phenomena that we can reasonably assume the rest are explained naturally too. From the models we have so far, we know that the universe is organised bottom-up and our understanding of what we consider "complete objects" like a cat or a solar system are just the emergent phenomena of collections of rules (or are engineered based on those rules in the case of manmade objects). So if objects don't actually exist in the way we perceive them, I'm not sure what credibility is left for materialism if the whole concept of 'object' only exists in my interpretation.

> I think many people interchange "materialism" and "naturalism", even if it may not be correct.

That may well be true, but I had to look 'naturalism' up because I hadn't heard the term before. It's probably the angle from which I've approached metaphysics that's to blame for that though.
In most cases, it's running millions of lines of legacy code that interacts with all sorts of crufty, decades-old proprietary software components. (iow, it's not COBOL itself that blocks a migration, it's the fact that real-world COBOL code tends to rely on this terrible proprietary stuff. I mean, it's nothing that couldn't be dealt with cleanly if a gigadollar was literally on the line, but I suspect that such figures are somewhat exaggerated.)

I dont agree with this, either we know what the pretext task was, or we fine tune with labels, but in either case, it's no different to analyze than supervised models.

I do agree that more parameters and a bigger training set makes the models more opaque (or at least more expensive to understand), but the self supervision is not the reason.

Writing simply doesn’t require an unnaturally restricted vocabulary, and it doesn’t limit you to simple ideas. It means writing in a straightforward manner, using words that precisely express what you want to say, without the reader needing to fall back on allusion or guesswork.

If an idea is complex, then there may be no simple words to express it. That’s fine. However, dressing up simple ideas with complex words is not. That’s just deception.

Orwell was in favour of simple, direct language. Newspeak was insidious because it obscured meaning and eliminated expressiveness. Complex language can do the same, and Orwell was well aware if this. In “Politics and the English Language”, he railed against "pretentious diction" and "meaningless words". These, he said, were used to make biases look impartial and to obscure the point of a statement.

Orwell’s six rules of precise writing stand today. In summary:
1. Avoid overused metaphors, simile, or other figures of speech. They have likely lost any precise meaning;
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do;
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out;
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active;
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of a precise everyday English equivalent;
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

> The mainframe apps were a cost center the company sought to minimize.

a bit off topic, but this is a huge thing that I at least didn't pick up on across jobs for many years - for accounting reasons, many firms will always see what your team is doing as an 'expense' to be 'minimized', no matter what you do, and in many cases, there is nothing you, or your manager, or even your managers manager can do to change this, since it is often decided at the highest levels of the firm based on broad-stroke accounting policies that have a direct impact to how the firms entire books (and therefore revenue/profit/etc) are calculated.

IT/tech related? goes in a cost center.

What's a cost center? an optional expense which can and should be minimized, with manager compensation often tied to how effectively costs are controlled.

If anyone working in tech is not aware of the various accounting models used in business, it is well worth your time to get familiar with the basics - assignment of 'cost center' to technology groups in firms that use cost/revenue center models has a huge impact on how teams are likely run, decisions are made, and potential for career advancement for employees in those groups.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_centre_(business)

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

this is not the only costing model (job costing, activity based costing, etc) , but one in my view that is often hugely detrimental to technology teams in non-tech companies unfortunate enough to find themselves pre-categorised as a 'cost center'.

Taiwan did better than just about everybody else without lockdowns.

Might be some truth here. Although at this point automatically interpreting plain text data would fail as well. In both cases, you could add separating symbols in the raw data stream.

Also, timing should help here. Sure there can be gaps, but at a given data rate the receiving end should be able to compensate for it, as long as velocity doesn't have large unexpected changes (doppler). Even then it should be decodable afterwards.

There are a lot of ways you can compensate for any of these issues. That said, of course plain text is going to be the easiest option for a human to decode when everything else fails.
