I miss Waffles.fm but even more so, Oink. I did What in the end.

These were rich, music-minded communities focused entirely on music.

They were made up of people who went against great friction to discuss artistic works with others willing to do the same.

I've paid for Apple Music since the onset and it has never come close to the weekly top seeded albums of these communities.
> You seem happy to engage on how something is being said, but not so much on what is being said.

Of course, because I'm here to have an interesting conversation about an idea on its own merits, not be accused of hallucinating when you misinterpret something I've said. If you stop attacking the speaker, assumed some good faith, and have a civil conversation I suspect you'd have a better time.

Normally I have much more tolerance for shenanigans but you've demonstrated a pattern in our interactions.
EV's are theoretically better at accident avoidance because of their distribution of mass compared with ICE.

e.g. Lower/distributed center of gravity makes cars faster to stop, and easier to turn.

This is one of many advantages. Some others are related to: fewer components i.e. fewer failures, instant torque i.e. better handling, etc.

That said, given that an equivalent accident occurred to an ICE car and to an EV from the side[0], "energy is energy" and likely will result in similar injury/fire.

[0] the front/back of EVs have better crumple zones than ICE.
It's not an invention of Wikipedia editors. If you just read the first paragraph of the article it explains the accepted meaning has evolved over time. It further explains "The distinction between gerund and present participles is not recognised in modern reference grammars, since many uses are ambiguous."
I agree that notes aren't really useless even if you know you'll toss them out.

I maintain a notebook that I write ideas and sketch solutions in. I don't treat it as something I'll revisit more than a month from now. I treat it more as a workspace for sketching out ideas and coming back to them a day or a week later to recall what was in my headspace. Usually I'll commit to a solution one way or another based on my notes and I usually don't revisit them after that.

I think if I treated notes as "revisit this later" I'd be a little pickier about what I wrote down to reduce the noise, but that just prevents me from using the notebook for what I want, which is a place to brainstorm and sketch ideas.
> "correct" (what you meant to say)

Oh, this is a definition of "correct", it's not me correcting the OP.
Why not get the browser to do 10 seconds of cryptographic work, as per the original aim of Hashcash [0] (which was repurposed for bitcoin mining). The user could be presented with a message letting them know what's happening and the ability to bypass it. It would not continue to use cpu once the sufficient work has been done to access the site. You wouldn't use the original algorithm, because a bad actor could use an old bitcoin miner to quickly finish the work.

It seems like it should be a requirement and very easy for state and local governments to publish calendars. I did a quick search and was excited that Chicago published an iCal until I looked and saw that there were zero items on the calendar going forward or backward six months

The key is good clients. Good clients are aware of how the process works. The problem is it takes a long time to develop good clients and newer consultants tend to meet poor clients...ones that burned the previous consultant or ones that have no experience or ones that don’t value long term business relationships.

Communication is important. The client can have anything they want. But from day one everything costs money. Nickel and diming is the business model of consulting. And it is no matter how fat the contract.

If a client has an issue with paying for your work, fire them.
When OpenAI trained their Dota model to beat people 1v1 mid SF, they had a contest at The International (the big yearly dota tournament, RIP) like "can you beat OpenAI's new bot?" and had a big bucket of prizes for anyone that could.

By the end of the night, the bucket was empty. People learned to cheese the bot by running "out of bounds", so to speak -- normally in a 1v1, you're supposed to stay close to your opponent, since they'll be getting stronger if you leave. But the bot didn't know how to deal with it when you snuck behind it (normally an insane maneuver, almost guaranteed to cost you the game in normal play) and prevented his army (called "creeps") from running to the middle lane. (All you have to do is go wave your hand at them, and they mindlessly chase you.)

People did that over and over, and your own army would eventually overwhelm the bot and win. :)
The one you’re most comfortable with that the company either uses or is looking to use. Unless otherwise specified of course.

The goal should be to prove how you think out of a hole, not necessarily the language unless certain features will help you solve that specific problem.

IMO
I feel like that takes away part of what make FPV flying fun - there is no risk of injury or death, but you have enough skin in the game based on how much it’s likely to cost to repair when you do something risky to provide the adrenaline rush.
This is amazing, I remember when the Nobel prize was received for the discovery of quasicrystals while I was getting my PhD in materials science.

The amazing thing about these materials to me is that they are found in apace rocks that land on earth.

That means they are extremely stable for long distance interstellar travel.

This discovery means that humans may actually have a way to manufacture these in the future, it would just require ridiculous energy densities. Maybe this would be manufacturing to do on Mars?

I acknowledge this problem while throwing up my hands at the incredible laziness of the entire profession in not employing syntactically-aware diffing.

It's our own fault, we have no excuse, and it galls me to serve a dumb line-based algorithm over the writers and readers of my code.

Apple tosses togethor lossless and high res in this article, it states that its whole catalog will be available in lossless format and also this "For the true audiophile, Apple Music also offers Hi-Resolution Lossless all the way up to 24 bit at 192 kHz".

It doesnt say if the high res tracks are included in a subscription which is interesting as competing services usually have a higher price tier for this. Services like Tidal & Qobuz differentiate themselves on high res but it is such a tiny percentage of their catalog thats its often a waste of effort.

And then there is the whole hardware support question, Android down samples everything and Apples codec over bluetooth isnt going to support anything high res anyway.

This all sounds like features for the average user (bigger numbers are better) where in reality it probably holds value for less than 1% of users.
Because it calls into question the whole value proposition of gain-of-function research. If this was released from a virology lab, it calls into question whether we should be funding this kind of research at all. Further, the unwillingness of many virologists to even consider non-wild origins brings a lot of ethical questions to the forefront: these folks used their authority and bully pulpit to influence public opinion, and it’s important to determine the implicit and explicit conflicts of interests that are influencing their decision making.
They have lots of assets, seems they don't have incentive to understand it.
I once looked at the little notification tray on the new Reddit UI and saw a recommendation for a post. It piqued my interest, so I clicked it. It took me to the subreddit, not the specific post. I tried clicking different parts of the notification, same result every time. I tried scrolling down on the subreddit (in the new UI, ugh) and did not the find the post after thirty posts or so. I tried to copy the title from the notification, so I could paste it into Google, but user text selection was disabled by the CSS. I used “Inspect Element” to get a copy of the text, and put it into Google, which finally took me to the post.

All that engineering work to produce 100B recommendations, and it’s not even been put to good use.

Dear Fellow Stanford Students
Indeed, there is also the discussion on "proportionality" or "civilian buildings" which never appears in any other conflict. When proportinality is discussed it is always some demand from Israel to equal number of total killed, not the actual proportion of militants killed vs. civilians. Nobody suggest that Israel should kill 10 civilians for each militant , which is the rate of Israeli killed by Gazans, one soldier and 10 civilians.

Note also the diversion from "civilians" to "civilian buildings". Since the Gaza militant are operating from positions which are not distinuishable from regular civilian building the media now complains why those position are bombed. So now Israel is not allowed to kill militant because of the way the balcony looks. The more accurate and careful Israel become the media narrow the definition of what is a military target.

Basically they demand different standards from Israel than from any other country, which is discrimination and therefore when directed to only one nation, racism.

I am not surprised, media and politicians must cater for the growing Muslim population in western contry and to the overwhelming majority in social media, a billion Muslims vs 10 million Jews. Every claim by the Muslims is multiplied and reverberating by the echo chamber. So the media just follows to cater for them, it is a bit of decision besuiness and a bit of a political belief peppered with classic racism against Jews.

If google had an option they would have been on the Muslims side with no hesitation, it is just the current laws that prevented them.
Reducing 4 hours of Magento installation to less than 2 hours
Each and every time I installed the Magento on servers it took me almost 4 hours and a silly mistake can pop out surprises later. So I tried my hand for the first time at blogging and documented each step by step in an order, so that it might save a good amount of time for others on the same boat
In the case of Wendy Farris it's actually even more blatant than that as the dog handler actually touched the car, after which the dog looks at the owner and "finds drugs" immediately in exactly that location. Surprise surprise. This is at the end of the second pass.

A clue to the dog about as subtle as a brick in the face. The best possible good faith interpretation I can give to this is spectacular ignorance in understanding how dogs work.

Wouldn't Ford then have assets, to cancel out of the debt?

I imagine that "120B in debt" means net debt, but I'm not sure.

[follow-up] yes, that's $120B net debt. They have a total $160B of debt, and ~$23B of that is from the automotive side of the business, not the financing side.

It was the summer I graduated high school. I have fond memories of Brood X. Life is much different 17 years on. It’s also a marker I was awaiting the last couple years. Come to find out that my move a couple hours away means I’m no longer in the brood x region. My wife has no such memories. Apparently there were no cicada broods where she grew up.

Musk agrees substantially. He says prototypes are fun and easy and it's the mass production scaling that is the most hell.[0]

This is the real seller. No response to this is a massive red flag.
I like how it trains you in noticing issues in alignment, spacing, font setting etc. But as others noted it mixes clear mistakes with highly subjective opinions around size, shape and color choices and even dark patterns while suggesting to use this test to filter out job candidates for design positions [0].

While there might be some merit to this method for educational purposes I'm generally wary of fully automated assessments as they often include hidden biases like in this case and just end up enabling you to hire the same kind of people all the time (which admittedly already is an issue with human assessments/interviews, so lets not make it worse).

> It later turned out that the Lancet letter had been organized and drafted by Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance of New York

The controversy around Peter Daszak goes deeper. First off, he was the only American on the WHO team that visited Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) earlier this year. Per the WSJ (https://www.wsj.com/articles/who-china-hunt-covid-origins-11...) the WHO rejected three different nominees from the Trump administration and instead chose Daszak. That seems suspicious to me, because Daszak's prior work with WIV means there is a clear conflict of interest, and it puts the WHO's judgment into doubt since it would seem like a convenient pick for the CCP, given how tightly they managed the WHO's visit and subsequent report.

Furthermore, Daszak's name appears as an author on a WIV paper that concerns coronavirus research (https://jvi.asm.org/content/jvi/90/6/3253.full.pdf), and the text within suggests WIV was actively performing gain of function research with SARS-like (SL) viruses:

> "We recently isolated a bat SL-CoV strain (WIV1) and constructed an infectious clone of another strain (SHC014); significantly, these strains are closely related to SARS-CoV and capable of using the same cellular receptor (angiotensin-convert-ing enzyme 2 [ACE2]) as SARS-CoV"

Note that EcoHealth's grant was omitted from the oversight process concerning research involving dangerous pathogens (https://news.yahoo.com/hhs-board-never-approved-wuhan-155055...). Per this article, Rutgers University professor of chemical biology Richard H. Ebright said that NIH and NIAID "systematically thwarted — indeed systematically nullified — the HHS P3CO Framework by declining to flag and forward proposals for review."

-

While all of this could just be strange coincidence, incorrect speculation, or reasonably explained with more information, it has all the markers of something that deserves scrutiny and transparency. I feel like everyone who was and still is quick to shut down the lab leak possibility is acting against the spirit of open inquiry and thwarting the best understanding that we could have from this entire saga.
I'm a bit perplexed as to why cicadas have been in the news lately. It's my understanding that almost every year there's a brood that emerges. In fact, I think it's more noteworthy that 2023 will be the first year in almost a decade without the emergence of cicadas.

I'm not a big sushi person, but stats could be stuff like freshness, juiciness, visual attractiveness, price, etc. Doesn't have to be that accurate but I think it'll add some appeal to the Torodex.

Lore could be just a description, if there's any history to this specific dish, what it's made of and how it's made, etc. and yeah could add some jokes / fantasy lore just to spice it up.

Mainly I'm hoping these sushis are all like manga characters and each have their own personality and stories (it's always exciting to read those manga data books), just my 2 cents!

Apple’s own high-end headphones can’t even handle the lossless files.

I suspect like many things, that this is Apple’s attempt at providing a service that’s just valid enough that they can dry up the competitors then relax their quality and get back to selling the products they want to sell people.
Lichess cloud compute has that position. It still thinks black is winning at depth 59 (Stockfish 11 HCE).

I wouldn't call the Wii a 480i console; it can run in 480p, 480i, or 240p, depending on system settings and the game itself (I don't think 240p is used much outside of a hidden mode in virtual console, but I could be wrong). I think the gamecube can too, but it requires the digital out port, and I think that was rarely used. N64 is 480i or 240p depending on the game.
It could be that the disc read head is more sensitive, or able to hover closer to the disc surface

Unlike HDDs, floppy drive heads do actually rub on the surface of the media in normal operation. This is notable because repeated "scrubbing" in an attempt to statistically recover data[1] can make things much worse, especially if the media surface (or worse, the head) is already damaged.

The attempt that bore some fruit was to instead locate the start of the sector data, and continually look at the next 8us of the analog stream. If the voltage appears to generally drift in one direction, then it's a "0" bit, or if the voltage peaks one way and then the other, it's a "1" bit.

More distinctly: if the signal difference between two samples 8us apart is approximately the same, it's a 1; if there's a large difference ("large" being something suitable and AGC-ish like a running average or similar), it's a 0.

[1] For optical media this is not a big concern, and I once wrote some code to recover degraded CD/DVD(+/-R) sectors by disabling the ECC of the drive and reading the raw data many times; it was surprisingly effective and interesting to graph the results as they were being obtained in realtime and see the bits literally rising out of the noise.
Absolutely. And there is still value in propaganda that is recognizable as propaganda. The meta game has as many layers as an onion, and one piece of propaganda can serve multiple purposes. Maybe a particular piece is obvious to spot, but the ultimate goal might not be so obvious. Idiots will fall for anything, but tricking the intelligent isn't as hard as we'd like to think either.

Perhaps it is possible to subtlety influence a narrative by representing it poorly in obvious propaganda, sort of like negative space a painting. And the more time people spend trying to unravel the knot of lies and half-truths, the better. The propagandists win when we are arguing about their nonsense rather than seeking truth directly.

As soon as you think you can spot the propaganda, they've got you, as they can manipulate the presentation at any time.
If it's any consolation, self-help literature doesn't do that just to other people's culture. The transformation of the Christian message into contemporary "Prosperity Gospel" is downright bizarre.
yeah seems like a strange thing to want to turn into a popularity contest.
In this case, the Burmester system sounds really great. I'm saying that as someone who has no such thing, so I'm less biased to like it. The example came to my mind because when I heard it, I was amazed that this was in a sports car.

But you may have a point anyway: The Bose system in the same car (a vastly more popular option because it is much, much cheaper) sounds worse than the cheap sound system in my old Ford.
The other huge problem with reddit is that they aren't profitable, so far as I know. It would be one thing if the problem was just that their site was ugly, slow, frequently down, stuffed full of useless "features", and needlessly difficult to use BUT they were making tons of money. If that were the case, while you might not want to exactly recreate them, you could make the argument that they were at least doing something right. As is (so far as I know) they also don't even make money despite their immense traffic.

All of the value of reddit comes from the users adding, sorting, and moderating content. The people running the site actively make it worse and they aren't profiting by doing so.
This is exactly like the "how can I use static types when I talk to other untyped things".

Computational law does not nor should it mean limiting ourself to purely objective concepts and automatically-resolvable disputes. We can still introduce as abstract parameters all the fuzzy humanistic things we want. This just forces us to separate those from the "boring parts", which will make everything more productive. This is a lot like how with fancy dependent types you can pass around proofs of undecidable/non-computable things -- "undecidable" and "subjective" are equally bad at run-time.

Done right, right, this is also good for fairness because it's exactly to the extent the objective and subjective stuff is all mixed together that "the party with the most expensive lawyers wins". All the drudgery keeps everyone but the rich out.

-------

All that said, there are still immense challenges to pulling this off. Doctors and lawyers are insanely protected classes in this country --- the last, most powerful guilds --- and everything is designed against this. In "physical small repeatable goods" capitalism, well you can always try to compete end-to-end to the final consumer and slowly eck out market. But court cases and ex lawyer judges make for relatively-rare, high-risk proving ground, and foxes guarding the hen-house!

Also, I am skeptical of this beginning with contracts / private sector and not law itself / governments. The way we write programs today is like a Gustafson's law vs Amdahl's law situation in which rather than reducing complexity/mental drudgery using machines, we simply fill up our expanded capacity with more --- from hand-calculating rocket trajectories to debugging garbage bloated software stacks. If as increased corporate profits went to longer EULAs and other paperwork, this could unleash a torrent of non-sense orders of magnitude greater: please sign these 50 MiBs!
I would certainly hope so. It's considerably safer there than in the hands of a too-big, unresponsive, bloated, inefficient, uncaring government...
Nice work generalizing anyone who lives east of the crest as mouth breathing cretins (myself included). Now I'll do some generalization: I'll take my basically crime free town in the mountains where I know everyone and the only real concern is stepping on a rattlesnake on my daily trail run over rampant crime, homeless camps, open air drug markets, human waste on the sidewalks, public parks that are completely unusable for fear of stepping on a used needle, nightly riots, endless traffic and city councils who actively work to destroy their cities.
