From the "other ideas" section:

> The concept was to get one noise value from one area of the Perlin noise field, and another value from another part, perhaps using 3D Perlin noise. Now you have two random values ranging from -1 to +1. Using Math.atan2 on those two values will give you an angle, which should be pretty uniformly distributed between -180 and 180 degrees. And it kind of works:

> The distribution is … ok? But tons of clumping and really hard transitions in some cases. Like in the bottom left when it goes from about 45 degrees (light orange) to around 225 degrees (dark blue). My guess is that those are both very low values like 0.00001 and 0.00001 and just a tiny, tiny change to each of them makes them go to something like -0.00001 and -0.00001. But that’s 180 degrees different in terms of angle. And near the bottom center there are four cells which point in almost four completely different directions. So I took this experiment as a failure.

Combining two independent gaussian-distributed variables into a vector and taking the angle is a good way to get a uniform angular distribution, but this experiment shows that this is not enough to get a good-looking vector field, because the neighborhood structure also matters.

Points that all surrounding vectors point away from correspond to sources that push away nearby matter. That's not necessarily unrealistic, but looks weird in the middle of nowhere, especially if the point doesn't also act as a visible source of particles. Mathematically speaking, the vector field at such a point has positive divergence, and to realistically model most fluids, you'll want divergence to be zero everywhere instead.

I did a search for "divergence-free Perlin noise" and found this paper discussing the problem and offering a solution: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/bridson-siggraph2007-cu...

> Perlin’s eponymous noise function [1985; 2002] is frequently used
in practice to generate random velocity fields; however, these fields
generally contain many sinks (“gutters” where particles accumulate) since they are not divergence-free. The divergence-free condition, ∇·~v = 0, is equivalent to stating the fluid is incompressible,
and is one extremely important visual characteristic of everyday
fluids (e.g. water, air, and smoke).

Their solution is to use Perlin noise as a potential function and to use the curl for the flow:

> A classic vector calculus identity is that the curl of a smooth potential is automatically divergence-free: ∇·∇× ≡ 0. Thus the velocity
field we have constructed is divergence-free, ∇ ·~v = 0, i.e. it is incompressible. No sources or sinks (“gutters”) are possible.
Your fundamental truth is based on a false premises that the goal is weight loss as opposed to health, more specifically metabolic health.

But lets assume it all boils down to calories in/calories out, your solution is singularly focused on calories in (eating less), that in a vacuum has no effect of calories out except generally a negative effect (your body will adapt and try to burn less calories). Thus, you are ignoring that the form of calories in directly effects the calories out, and that there are better ways to balance the equation by increasing calories out without necessarily reducing calories in, or in some cases increasing calories out might even require a caloric surplus (such as muscle building).

So the Baker Lab out of Seattle has actually been working on that exact problem for a while now. There suit of programs for doing this type of work is called Rosetta and I know they have generated at least one protein from scratch.
You don’t seem to understand. If I have 100 mbps down speed, my ISP should have no say in how I use it. If it is Netflix of Facebook, it doesn’t matter. It’s my 100 mbps. That is like saying that my electric provider should have a say on what I use my electricity for. That if I use a GE brand washer it costs less per kwh than a Samsung, or that electricity for a computer is more expensive per kwh than electricity for a refrigerator. No. They give me the electricity, I decide how to use it. They give me the internet bandwidth, I decide how to use it.
Are you saying most people would answer Yes to "Are politicians trustworthy?" because then I clearly live in a completely different bubble than you do and have a very different interpretation of TV speaking heads talking about the issue. In my bubble at least 90% would say that US politicians are not trustworthy (no idea about UK). Not much different if you ask about Trump or Biden either.
I have no doubt it is great. And my life is not enough to read all the great books I want to, even if I were not ADHD, slow reader and generally overwhelmed. Why should I pick this one if I know what it is about already (and have in fact already started reading it once)? What will I find there that will make me feel glad I've actually read it? Can you come up with a curious quote from there perhaps? I mean a quote which a person understanding the concept can still find interesting.

Correct, but the current economic incentive structure is set up for short term profits and nobody really cares about the soil quality (except perhaps farmers that own the ground they farm; which even then they are to survive long enough to adapt soil-healthy practices).

Right now, farmers (corn/soy/wheat/cotton) are reward on quantity, so they need to increase production and keep costs down. Rightly or wrongly, the prevailing thought is to increase yields rather than cuts costs.

There are news systems thinking approaches slowly gaining steam (as the original article is about), but the reality is these things are economically risky. This is why the government needs to divert agricultural subsidy money from its existing criteria to one that requires practices like cover cropping. Importantly the money is already there, we just need to shift how its disbursed and start incentivizing more sustainable practices

That was my first thought. Inside an Apple store is not a public place. A sidewalk is a public place - you can take photos there and post them with no consequences. Inside a private business might as well be inside someone's private residence as far as the law is concerned.

Just because a business is open to the public does not mean it is a public space. People confuse the two.
It's not like you _need_ vim to edit code. If those are the only shortcuts you need, then you don't need vim! It's just very useful for power users, especially with the huge plugin ecosystem. Instead of each plugin adding its own shortcuts, they often compose together with what you already know to make editing even easier.

> syntax-aware editing is overrated when you use a linter/formatter

Not quite what I'm talking about actually. Going back to the theme of "code as syntax tree", when editing code you'll often find yourself needing to do things like "ah I should hoist the code in this paren block into its own variable." Vim lets me operate on that syntax level, which feels more reliable to me than using the mouse to carefully select text. I just tell it to delete in parens (which automatically pulls it into a register that I can paste from), move to a new line, paste with "p". When I edit code it's less about individual characters and more about moving blocks of logic around, which is super important for refactoring safely. I end up making fewer mistakes with vim.
This is really good. I could only stomach the first half because of the awkwardness, but that's exactly the point:

I think the author's intentions are what earn him some sympathy from people around here. He wasn't stealing bank info or passwords. He wasn't tracking their location or scanning their email. He was essentially doing street photography albeit with cameras owned by Apple.

The author may be naive but he's not malicious and that matters to me when I try to come up with some kind of judgement.

pretty coool coincidence, actually
My question regards the fact that that we obviously have methods to reduce waist circumference by reducing overall weight through calorie deficit, but those methods also tend to cause muscle loss. You have a lot of bullet points here about muscle gain/maintenance and weight loss as though they're two independent problems, but the problem I'm asking about is the fact that they're coupled by energy balance and age-related changes in nutrient partitioning.

No, it's actually pretty fun writing UI's in Flutter, because it's relatively straight forward.

Edit: Fair warning, desktop development code is _interpreted_ by the VM when doing debug builds, so that you can have hot reloading, which is great. But it may seem like your app is slow until you do a release build. Though it seems obvious in retrospect, it took me by surprise at first.
It's in the comments.
A compiler doesn't have to emit machine code. It just needs to translate one language into another, which the author's program does.

Also, a parser implies having an internal, structured representation. As the C language is neither internal nor structured, I'd say the program is more likely a compiler.
The stars can be seen too. Except if you mean "only" a billion stars.
I'd say this is a good thing.

If you can't even figure out how to bypass it, then you probably shouldn't.
I think the biggest problem copilot will have in practice gaining traction is that verifying correctness isn’t any faster than writing the code yourself in many cases. The Easter(y) function is a classic example - it would be way faster to write that than to try and verify that there’s no subtle bugs.

Copilot is by design trying to give you something that _looks_ correct without caring whether it actually is - so it optimises for real-looking but subtly buggy code, which is the worst kind of broken code.
Last year I helped the owner of my local coffee shop renew his NYC license. I've been doing web development over 20 years and barely managed to navigate their website. It took over an hour and dozens of attempts to pay a couple hundred dollars to renew one of the many licenses he needs to stay open. We moved to New York five years ago and I've come to believe the propaganda that it is the Greatest City in the World. This experience more than any other -- the hoops that every smalltime entrepreneur has to hop through -- seriously called that claim into question.
I just got back from touring Oregon and Washington and I got to see a lot of fascinating agriculture. Primarily hazelnut trees along with some berries other speciality crops and "hay."

The nut tree farmers need some help. They are spraying water scattershot to soak the ground. What's more is that they have the ground prepared as perfectly flat bare soil--I presume to make automated harvesting possible.

It looks like a lot of resources are allocated to this rather imprecise method of irrigation and as the droughts and heat persist I could see this failing to scale. It doesn't look like it scales very well even in good times.

I was wondering, given the very organized situation of the trees and ground, why are they not using direct or site-based (drip?) irrigation? It would definitely change the watering process from one of rolling and unrolling irrigation line and towing of sprinklers (water canons?) to one where you would automate water delivery via a network of lines with computers and have workers monitor and repair lines as needed.
There are a few things that come to my mind, reading your thoughts and observations.

In this way, things do not seem comparable. Privacy is at risk on another level.

The author literally gives an individual reason why about half the books should be read by everyone and the other half by many based on their interests. What are your objections?
The author's pinned comment:

To answer some common questions:

a) I have already emailed & called, and I patiently await a reply...
b) You can't re-renew with a 13 month old PIN if you already renewed.
c) You can't show up in person without an appointment.
d) Appointments are only granted by means of contact that don't reply.
e) Yes I have two other licenses that AREN'T expired, but those are useless, they are for selling laptops, not fixing laptops, which I don't do anymore anyway after the city was unable to give me a straight answer on how to do so without being fined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi8_9WGk3Ok - I need this license in the video to be able to actually do repairs.
f) Just listen to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi8_9WGk3Ok This is what I am dealing with. After 15+ minutes and being transferred to two people, they can't answer a basic question about a rule they fined me for breaking that they can't even explain. They never emailed or called me back, which has been the behavior I have come to expect over the past nine years.

I am serious, if you work for the city and have any way of applying my 13 month old payment to this license renewal, you have the gratitude of myself & 14 of my employees who will get to continue paying their rents, mortgages, & food bill for their kids.

In spite of what people think, I am not a millionaire. If I'm forced to close - I can't afford to pay these people. I do not want that to happen.

I am not meming, I never get responses to DCA emails - not 3 months ago, not for NINE YEARS, and I don't expect to be able to now. Since I cannot sort this out in person due to the COVID closures, this channel is my only hope of reaching someone who can help me sort this out.

Thank you.

Yep - Investments go up and down, your salary is your foundation that lets you take risks with everything else. That is also why people move to lower risk investments as they age - we have fewer salaried years in front of us and cannot afford a big loss as much as we can when we are young.

I'm young enough that I 'should' love emoji, Snapchat, etc. and certainly did love Pokemon (Blue & Yellow on Gameboy Colour), but I would have no idea what you meant by a 'surprised pikachu icon'.

And what would you do in a spoken conversation then anyway? 'Hang on, I need to send you an emoji'?

The difference here is that professional translators often have professional training.

The bar is substantially lower for a 'programmer', especially with an incredibly large bootcamp market which churn out 'professional' 'programmers' in 6-8 weeks.

Been to a bootcamp? Know some leetcode? Someone will hire you. And then you got Copilot advertising its services to you as a way to learn how to code. The implication of 'learn to code' being 'learn to code correctly'.

Google Translate has no similar relationship with professional translators.
The fact that MS Teams includes this as one of the only 5 reactions you can send to a message is... frustrating. It isn't the only issue with Teams by far but, please, MS, Discord already did it right.
No, just no. This is 100% false. You are not required to use ANY chemical on ANY crop in the united states. It's it 100% a voluntary decision. Why so many people make the decision to use these chemicals is another discussion.

Chemicals like roundup where so effective they changed agriculture production in unforeseen ways (like we lost institutional knowledge on how to successfully grow crops without them). The fact that mother nature is rendering all chemicals (glyposate, glufosinate, dicamba, 2,4-d) ineffective is predictable. Mother nature also had the mechanisms to combat these chemicals, but it happened quicker than most people thought.

We also didn't have 2nd and 3rd generation tools (re: not chemicals) ready to go when the chemicals failed. So we're stuck on treadmill.

There are solutions though...
My time is spend mostly not on writing code, but thinking what program has to do, testing (including writing unit tests) and understanding errors, I always tell people half joking programming is not about writing code, but an ability to debug it; understanding requirements, errors and bugs is hard, writing code and fixing bugs is relatively easy, in general.

Maybe Copilot 2 will do exactly this; it will generate tests based of half working code, run them and suggest improvements, that would increase productivity by like ~100%, but to me this sounds to good to be true.

I think it is fine if it is "effective". Really most of our physics is effective. So valid at a certain length scale. Fluid mechanics is very good, but it does not describe it all in terms of quark interactions. Quantum field theories are also mostly effective. So as long as it is describing protein dynamics at some effective length scale that is fine. Obviously it does not know anything about quarks/electrons/etc etc.
