Revisit your note later, right...But what if you forget about those notes in the first place? :p

I'm sure problem most people face with digital note is discoverability, things that digital Zettelkasten method want to solve. Once it inside your app, it rarely comes out. You forget about it completely except from some of most-used notes or unless you have a strong system in place(which most people don't)

Also, what paper has and digital notes lack, is spatial connection between you and your note. You can guess or estimate where or at what position your note is in your notebook, complete with time context, while digital notes live in abstract oblivion...

Looking through the recent Biden's posts, I don't see the opposite effect you mention. There's lots of criticism at the top.
Either you have causality (even if it's 'only' statistical) or you don't.

Something along the lines of

I'm pretty sure soundbars are popular because of the speakers and cables etc. For many people, running cables between playback devices, receivers and speakers is way too confusing. Nobody who is comfortable with separates is going to switch to a soundbar because they don't find the received "modern" enough or something.
The numbers on my comment are for 3 hours, not 6. (Yeah, the text is not very clear on that.)
Sure, changes often are required when plans come to a practical implementation, but they (should?) have to be documented and re-verified by the engineers/architects at least for structural components, and the plans should get updated to match the on-site modifications.
If we're in a simulation there could be a way for information to flow out.

In this case, we could do things we're really good at. We could influence a viewer by showing them a myriad of ads for example. Or shift their political views to our advantage.
I had assumed they did a truly blind test, then asked them for opinions on the sound. After they got that feedback, they revealed the systems and price and asked, with this new info what would you get?
Presumably you could delay implementing microscopic phenomena, as long as they're consistent with macroscopic phenomena, until such time as they're actually measured.

“Extraterrestrial” somehow implies that they would live in the same universe as us, doesn’t it?
> the only sane choice is probably through Docker images

Its really not. You either tailor your dependencies to match the host (clue, you should be doing this anyway, it makes things much easier in the long run), or use virtual envs.

pyenv also gives you some (non obvious) flexibility as well

However, having said that, the chances are, your go or rust binary is going to be in a docker env as well(so is your python), so its basically all the same.
Maybe you are not an NPC but an actual playable character to someone and the whole concept of you thinking that you are in control is part of the system.

When I started, "software engineer" wasn't a job title. We did already have job-title inflation, though; when a programmer was promoted, they became an "assistant systems analyst", then a "systems analyst". The proper definition of a systems analyst at that time didn't even include programming computers!

So what's an engineer? Outside of software, an engineer is a professional - a member of a professional body, licenced to undertake specified design and construction work, and required to take regular training and re-licensing. It's like a physician; it's not some particular level of training or experience. Or skill - there are rotten physicians and excelent ones. But if they're not licensed, they're not a physician.

Can't we go back to calling programmers programmers?
I wish there would be more debate about the equity of a cryptocurrency amongst the tech community. Why should the least well off in society be part of a crypto-coin whose supply has been given to early adopters and insiders? Ultimately the social compact of the economy you create will involve everyone, so we should design a coin that solves hard problems, not just narrowly defined ones that conveniently benefit a narrow minority.
I think probably as likely as the earth is at the center of the universe. The simulation theory as fun as it is to imagine I think is more like the earth being flat or center of the universe type thinking … it more comes from our imagination then from our observation
> A PoW miner has to spend to cover their costs, a staker doesn't have any cost to cover, providing a cryptographic signature requires no energy on an ongoing basis, just an initial investment.

And that is great news for crypto holders, cause that means PoS rewards can be way smaller than PoW rewards, which means less devaluation of existing coins and lower transaction fees!
Given that history often rhymes, is there any energy technology that never went anywhere?

I can only really think of successful ones (human power, draught animals, fossile fuels, electricity, etc).

I guess nuclear maybe, in that it never reached the potential people thought it would?
To me this is simply rephrasing the age old question about the existence of God using a modern technology analogy.
> For example, target running at 165-170bpm

Depends on age/health condition, 165-170 could be much higher for an older, less healthy person. But the strategy is right I think, with an adjusted bpm
Both Siri et al and modern chatbots are just menu systems though. They are constrained to a finite list of things they can do, and have some intent resolution logic on top of that so that you can ask for things in slightly different ways and still get a response. It works alright for Siri because there is value in the closed domain of actions it provides, and users have been trained to stay within this domain. It works less well for a "support" chatbot that is really just acting as a gatekeeper for a closed menu system with which the user is not very familiar. I'd rather just be presented with a hierarchical list of actions I can take, and the option to talk to a person if my request is not there. Having to guess whether the menu behind a chatbot supports a particular action is supremely frustrating.
There's no way they didn't expect some backlash on this. So I think it's partly for the marketing gimmick. I'm sure there are people at Github tho who really think they're making something valuable unfortunately. Sadly, what they're not aware of is that they've become part of the experiment themselves.

It's like expecting that an AI trained on Shakespeare novels would be able to "help" a writer write Shakespeare-like novels. Sure, they might get something that might fool some people, but are they a writer? I think software is a lot more like "writing" than it is like "building".

What mostly annoys me is that this is a win-win for github regardless of the outcome. If people buy into it (even for just a while, and it currently seems like some really smart people are buying into it) they'll carve a huge piece of a new market. If it fails, they'll make it seem like an experiment into the whole ethical gray area of what should and shouldn't be used for training, and that they just wanted to draw attention to it.

I suggest your mental issues are way, way more severe than your current diagnosis.
The number of speakers is part of the problem. Reproduction of a center channel using two loudspeakers ("phantom center") is inherently flawed, because you get comb filtering between them. Unlike with headphones, both ears can hear both speakers at once, but unless you're sitting perfectly centered, the distance from them is not the same. This means the signal from one is delayed relative to the other, so you get frequency-dependent constructive and destructive interference. See:

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

The effect is more noticeable in an acoustically dry room where there are few reflections filling in the notches. A real center channel eliminates this source of comb filtering.
How is it populist if, per the article, 72% of the population oppose the measure?
Didn’t Satoshi premine a large number of coins?
This article is about private communication, however. And that one does not necessarily contradict current pandemic measures.

Most of the harm of content with anti-vaccination stuff or whatever comes when it becomes publicly available. We could still have private communications but block (or annotate with "see COVID Center with actual science") those conspiracy videos when they get posted on public feeds, such as youtube, instagram or whatever. Until the pandemic subsides, that is.
You can simulate plenty in real-time or faster - most games do. The underlying universe can easily be more complex than the simulated one.
"So, if your brain is fast, and aliens have the Playstation Fourteen, that means reality is a Nintendo"

Sit down, Doug, that doesn't make any sense
Sound bars can also offer a budget priced mobile speaker solution. If installed correctly and with the correct adapters it’s rather trivial to grab the sound bar off of the TV stand and bring it out to some other area and connect your phone to it for decent quality listening. Returning it to its normal resting place is nearly as trivial.
You can always go back and add it later. You put in a cheap heuristic to begin with and only implement the faithful model when particle colliders start coming online. If it took too long to develop just pause the simulation for a bit.

Centralization of media is very dangerous for democracy.

All you need to take control of a democracy is to own the media and win a single election.

Afterwards, you can just rig election laws and use control of the media to gaslight dissent, never having to win a real election ever again.
From the first sentence on the Wikipedia article:

> Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender.

Now, some people personally identify as queer instead of lesbian, bi, or gay for all sorts of reasons; but it is the umbrella term.

One practical solution to climate change may be to shut everything down for one day each week, kind of like some places did in response to the pandemic. Close all non-essential business, restrict all non-essential travel, etc. In addition to giving our planet a much needed day off each week, it’d probably go a long way towards improving our mental health.
Don Lindich recently recommended a ZVOX product. I wish I could hear it first, before buying. Although this isn't solving the root-cause of the problem.

> If you are willing to spend a bit more for a sure thing, ZVOX is the go-to for voice clarity and one of the most popular companies I write about. Their lines of headphones, soundbars and television speakers use their proprietary AccuVoice, based on hearing aid technology, to make dialogue clear and easy to understand.

I’m not sure that’s the case, because we don’t know the underlying system (assuming true).

More importantly, If math is designed to reflect reality and his proof effectively states you can’t prove the system is correct within the system — then effectively aren’t we saying we can’t prove we are in a simulation?

> using LXC containers for production

which isn't docker.

From what I recall, spotify were the first company with a large footprint to use docker. However for some reason they skipped VMs and went screaming into docker when it was _very_ new. Personally that seemed like a mistake, but you know, each to their own.

If you're wanting to get into a bun fight about containers, then IBM 360 and JCL has some time for you.
I find questions like this fascinating. As a religious person, I guess I don't really see the question. There's no way for me to (currently) prove or disprove the existence of a deity. Ultimately I make a faith-based decision based on things that resonate with me, helping to reinforce my religious beliefs. Others do the reverse and don't believe.

But it would be hubris on my part to try and prove the existence of deity. It's fundamentally unproveable - at least with what we currently know. I view these simulation exercises as the same.

If Copilot was trained only on public repos like they claim, then shouldn't those API keys already be disabled due to existing secret scanning tools?

For example https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/secret-security/abo...

The fact that Copilot recreates API keys that still work makes me wonder if they come from a semi-public place, because SendGrid is usually quite fast at blocking API keys that were accidentally made public.

This looks a lot like a Probabilistic Programming Language, minus the explicit probability aspect. Almost like operating over a Bayes Net, but simpler. I like this model of computation and I think one can go quite far with these approaches. See: TensorFlow Probability (Python), Amidst (Java), PyMC3 (Python), Keanu (Java), etc.
Could you expand on this? The Planck length and time would seem to be such discretizations.
Ugh, I have a half-height Marantz A/V which struggles to drive my 5.1 B&W 600-series speakers. Since moving to my new home, where the couch doesn’t face the wall, I was inclined to ditch the set up and get Arc+Ones. It looks fantastic... but:

- no DTS:X encoding. What? Many UHD blu-ray movies only come with DTS:X tracks and no, getting your player (e.g. XBOX One) to do the conversion doesn’t do the trick because for object-based audio formats (DTS:X and Atmos), it has to be done by the processor, which has data of where the speakers are. And I disagree the future of 4K movies is streaming (which favor Atmos, according to Sonos), because the difference of any streaming 4K movies and an UHD disk without all the ridiculous compression os night and day
- this is not a problem exclusive to Sonos, but no brand does anything to help with cable management. Yes there are less wires with soundbars, but the rears are where the main problem is. With wireless rears, you’re just trading speaker wires for power wires (with the exception of one soundbar brand selling battery-powered rears, but forgot which now)

So, with all that and considered the price, I couldn’t justify getting the Arc system.

Fun fact that I had to prove for my master's thesis: if you have a procedure that (independent from other estimates) estimates a mean with absolute or relative error eps with probability 1/2 + g, then you can boost that to an arbitrary probability 1 - d using the median of O(log(1/d) / g^2) estimates. So repeated often enough, "probably approximately correct" can become "almost surely approximately correct", with an overhead factor linear in the number of zeroes you want in the failure probability.

The problem was in part because they actively broke the 2/3 compat story.

I see this as a problem with the developers who are committing code, and not a problem with Copilot. if you make your secrets accessible then they might be accessed. Also if you are rotating your keys regularly that would also mitigate these issues. This is a problem with humans failing to execute known security best practices, not malicious AI doing something insidious.
I agree with this; I'm very confused by what appears to be a very strong visceral reaction to this experimental feature. I don't know what impact it will have on programmers/programming, but I'm curious to see. Personally, I see something like copilot as a terrific search engine. Searching for code in Github is kind of difficult; being able to search by writing a descriptive comment is really cool!
Alpha Zero would not be competitive in its original implementation. It's neural net is too small (this is why it only took 4 hours to train it, since it stopped learning after 4 hours). Stockfish 14 just doubled its network size from Stockfish 13.

Stockfish 8 actually won games against Alpha Zero. But Stockfish 11 (which is still classical evaluation engine with no neural net support) totally decimates Stockfish 8, and Stockfish 13 (which uses neural net) totally decimates Stockfish 11. Stockfish 14 just got 30 elo points stronger than 13.

As it stands now, Stockfish 14 is the strongest chess entity humanity has ever seen.
I don't disagree with what you said, but for context: when these players do speedruns they typically start from 600 ELO and work their way back up to GM, so they face players at every level as part of that 100-game streak.

Could you call that a simulation? The comparison is meaningless.
