That’s called “Pythagorean tuning” and it’s possible but it’s not especially common. The system we use is a compromise derived from that system. If you use pure 3:2 ratios you get the so-called “wolf tones”, but we don’t get those any more.

The current most common system is equal temperament, which is a type of meantone tuning, where you take the 3:2 ratio and alter it. Equal temperament alters it to 2^(7/12) ≈ 1.4983, and it has the nice property that you get twelve notes and it’s all perfectly symmetrical, it doesn't matter which note you start on.

Before equal temperament, there were various other systems. One popular one was quarter-comma meantone, which took four stacked 3:2 ratios (81:16) and squashed them to equal two octaves and a 5:4 ratio (80:16), which results in a value of 5^(1/4) ≈ 1.4953. You see it in some old organs—which may have, say, separate keys for G# and Ab.

Then there are various non-meantone tunings, various “just” intonations, etc. In just intonation, a chord like C E G will have a 4:5:6 ratio. You can’t do this with all major triads, though, so you end up with some major triads that sound correct and others that sound out of tune. Our modern system is a compromise where all major triads are equally out of tune, rather than having some better and some worse.

The biases and cultish mentality of hardliners in the Bitcoin community make it difficult to have an honest discussion about these issues. There are interesting and nuanced security flaws listed here around both DoS and more recent routing fee exploits. My takeaway here is that there is a general lack of understanding and sufficient security testing around LN implementations. I wouldn't run my country on it but I wouldn't throw it all in the trash and abandon the concept like the author of the Github link is suggesting.

Hungarian perspective here:

I believe there are a couple of factors at play here.

First of all, most (perhaps all) of those people are Hungarian Jews, and Jewish people (imho) are both very intelligent and their culture values education a lot. Hungary had a very large Jewish population at the time, so no wonder we produced so many great scientists!

Second is the Hungarian language. Ede Teller specifically said his scientific achievements are thanks to the Hungarian language, and without it he could only be a high school teacher. I can find a few sources if you want, and the ones I know about might not be accurate, but for example Cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who spoke 58 languages himself, said of our language: “Do you know which language, because of its constructive ability and the harmony of its rhythm, comes before all the others? The Hungarian! It seems as if the Hungarians themselves do not know the treasure of their language…”.

Third Hungary at that point was a rather developed country, unlike now. Budapest metro opened after the London one, as the worlds' second.

Edit: Fourth, not related to the previous 3 as not unique to Hungary, but there were probably "network effects" at play. Science does not happen in a vacuum, as Paul Erdos said for him maths is a social activity (as witnessed by his vagabond tendency to move in with his peers and work on problems while living at their house). So probably having all these great minds in related fields was a kind of a feedback loop.

If you want a fast cli and java, you'd have the java process running and feed the input/output where by some means. Overall Java is not a good fit for a classic CLI, at least not with the JIT - it works in a pinch of course but it's well known it has a slow bootstrap.

Of course I read the article, the benchmarks are at the end. The rest is about LoC (which is yet another benchmark, albeit even more useless). I even read all the code on github, there is a room for improvement there as well.

This is kinda tangential and hella cynical, so feel free to ignore the following.

> Does the positive right for every child to receive 12 years of education result in slavery?

It isn't slavery. It's just imprisonment. At least, that's how it felt to me and it's how it feels to a lot of kids who haven't lost touch with their own true feelings in order to please the adults around them.

I don't think children actually get 12 years of education. They might spend twelve years going to school, but the actual academic education they get is probably something they could pick up with a year of concerted effort.

It's a grotesque waste of a child's time to keep them in school for so long just for such a limited academic program, but that seems to be the outer curriculum. The inner curriculum is about habits: obedience, punctuality, constructive obsession (aka "good work habits"). It's not the academics that matter in the real world, but the ability to do what you're told and con yourself into thinking that jumping through hoops is inherently worthwhile.

We call the kids who excel at this "college material", and allow them to do more of the same at their own eventual expense via student loans.
Click-through rates will be very low. In most countries you cannot impersonate another company, so they cannot call themselves „eBay“ in the ad copy.

Yeah, imagine what kind of nerd would be interested in the field and genuinely want to learn all they can, ha ha.
Many of the "IPv6-isms" come from the fact that renumbering networks is a big PITA and so IPv6 was built with the pipe dream of "change the config on the router and the entire network renumbers itself", like the flick of a switch. It was optimised for the least used case. IMO they should have just increased the address bit size to 128 and be done with it.

One of my own annoyances is the fact that local subnets have to be /64's (you can make smaller subnets but it breaks certain things) and ISP's are supposed to deliver a /48 or /56 to subscribers but some ISP's will only hand one /64. So if you want to create 2 separate networks in your home you're screwed.
In EU the farming subsidies pay most handsomely for trees, more than crops. Can't let them die, payout is dependent on yearly inspection. However, the soil needs to be in the bottom half of the quality scale, so most farmland out there does not qualify.

I do have random interests though and write code outside of work in other topics.

I guess specifically I don't know much about algorithms/big-o stuff like that (working on it, trying to change fields where I can use that).

I do acknowledge being weak in math, I'm concerned if I can actually do ML.

Coercions / subtyping is a big one, because mathematics is full of quotient types and identifications. This is a very practical issue, that comes up many many times. Not necessarily if you "program" in Coq, but if you try to do math in Coq. Another one is that there is no good treatment of undefinedness. An "option" type doesn't cut it, because it pollutes everything. The question is, how can you enable undefinedness everywhere, without polluting everything? That is only possible by adjusting your logic.
Your highest level reply did not imply you were willing to consider socialism as a factor. Socialism is a very large factor in this. Not in principle, but in practice. Is it possible for a fair, balanced, stable form of socialism to be designed? Possibly, I don't know. Can a group of greedy, selfish, arrogant Great Apes manage it? Absolutely not.
There is obviously a solution, which is Bitcoin. It'll end this madness that has destroyed societies from the beginning of time.
There are also modular approaches like CMDI [0] out there, that allows for constructing a metadata profile with a corresponding schema [1]. A single metadata standard won't be able to cover all disciplines regardless. Too many free text fields that can't be properly validated.

> What? Your asserting against things that are plainly true today. Like I understand not believing that sharing equity is a good incentive, but literally denying the current day reality is just weird. Maybe some dissonance going on.

I made no assertion at all. I asked you to present what you feel is the best value proposition behind the web3 buzzword, the best examples you could come up with were "equity sharing" and "trust", and I pointed out the fact that in the eyes of virtually everyone in the world none of those examples register even remotely as issues, and in fact they are seen as solved problems.

That is exactly the core problem with the web3 buzzword: at best, it is nothing more than a solution searching for a problem to fix, and so far the best that the hand-full of web3 buzzword supporters could come up with are irrelevant things that no one really cares about but require major technical overhauls to address?

The whole story is totally absurd, and we're talking about the absolute best examples you could come up with.

> Like I understand not believing that sharing equity is a good incentive, but literally denying the current day reality is just weird.

You're unwittingly demonstrating another problem linked with web3 enthusiasts: you handwave an awful lot to try to fill in all the holes in your arguments.

Here you are trying to use the term "reality" to try to deflect the fact that no one cares about web3's convoluted value proposition for "equity sharing" and "trust", two solved problems in the eye of the world that are only orthogonally related to web3.

If your arguments had any substance or merit to them, you could simply support your claims that people are willing to migrate to an entirely new infrastructure to benefit from the value proposition you've presented, but instead you fell back to handwaving and personal attacks.

> A lot of people definitely are not happy with existing platforms, and they very much understand getting paid for their contribution vs not.

Don't you understand that neither of those arguments comes close to make a case for web3?

At most, web3 proposes a specific proposal that is convoluted and demands a complete overhaul of the current infrastructure, but it is at best orthogonally related.

You could, right now, implement platforms where users get paid. There are a million of those already. Why do you feel the need to ignore reality to be able to even start proposing web3 as one of all alternstive solutions to a solved problem?

This whole discussion is tiring, specially as your absolute best usecases for web3 even fail to register any relevance or usefulness. frankly, you make it all sound like a convoluted but thinly veiled and desperate attempt to pump crypto. As handwaving and personal attacks don't help anyone make any case, I don't see a point in continuing the discussion.
Good. Facebook should not be able to "quell" anything. It should suffer the full consequences of its actions every single time.
Sounds like an ISP in a monopolistic situation.

When there are alternatives, ISPs would bend over backwards for what customers want.

That are not colluding like a cartel, of course.
The fact that it is indeed an orthodoxy is why the research is blatantly one sided. There is far less interest in, for example, unlocking millions of square miles of fertile, arable land. Instead its all doomsday - and the issue is systemic, publish or perish and orthodoxy are a dangerous combination, for any field.
Clear cutting is rarely a good forest management practice.
There's been some fMRI work done on this[1]: if you pose various moral dilemmas to adults and teens under fMRI, they'll give you similar answers. But: teens have dramatically higher frontal cortex activation then adults do while giving the answer.

Frontal cortex is associated with high level reasoning: the interpretation is that while teenagers are able to resolve the same sorts of issues as adults, they're spending a lot more mental effort to do so - it's taxing. Hence the phenomenon of teenagers tending to oscillate between "mature and capable" and "complete breakdown" when the stress gets dialed up (not that this doesn't happen to adults, but relatively we handle more better).

Not unsurprisingly, the frontal cortex is also one of the last regions of the brain to undergo maturation: the neural remodel you get at the onset of puberty starts from the back of the brain and moves forward.

In short: adults take an observation of adult-like behavior at face value and presume it implies adult-experiential reasoning, then get surprised and angry when the environmental stresses suddenly collapse the entire facade.

Solmssen's A Princess in Berlin (<http://www.acamedia.info/literature/princess/A_Princess_In_B...>) (1980), which covertly offers a crash course in early-1920s German political and economic history—including many details of the societal effects of hyperinflation—amidst a very sweet love story.

It depends on why you are interested in the field. Some people inherently enjoy it. I personally enjoy the ability it gives me to create stuff. It is the closest thing to magic in my view.

That is why I find Leetcode dull. I can't really do much with it as if I needed it, I would pull it from a library.
This is basically right, except what you call "reserves" is actually "regulatory capital" (a form of equity). Banks are also required to keep liquid reserves, but the purpose of reserves is different.

Is there something specific about Eyals take that you disagree with?
This bill isn’t a focused climate or infrastructure bill. That’s the marketing dressing for a widely scoped bill where only 23% of spending is for infrastructure. In actuality it includes many radically left-leaning policies, which moderates on neither side of the aisle can support. A prominent example is that it included changes to immigration that would grant citizenship for 8 million illegal immigrants, which luckily the Senate parliamentarian shot down. That’s not a climate bill - that’s a power grab that intends to reshape the electorate and dilute the voting interests of legal citizens, particularly Republicans, since this cohort would overwhelmingly vote Democrat. People have many complex reasons to support or oppose any bill, just as they do with any candidate. It isn’t as black and white as you’re painting. If supporters of the bill truly felt climate was a critical issue, they would create a much tighter bill that has as few reasons to garner opposition as possible.
Yes, I worked with someone who at some point aimed his ire at me, despite having the same project seniority as myself. He was overwhelmed and never met his targets but chose to spend his time disagreeing with me. Unfortunately the devs in the team fell in line with him, because they were Indian I guess and so am I, and I was bypassed for a lot of things. I continued to take their money and looked for a better job and then left. They continued to fail to meet targets and deliver anything that worked. Ultimately you need to decide what happens if you are rude back, will they respect you, or use that as evidence to fire you? I suspected the latter because I was showing him up, so I jumped. Look after your income first, forget about trying to fix bad people.
> For example if Facebook could have better communicated the nuance dangers of getting addicted to Instagram the world would have been a safer place for teens.

Lack of nuance often serves a purpose. For example, Facebook doesn't necessarily have any interest in making the world a safer place for teens. Corporations in the US do not necessarily serve the public interest as understood by people who aren't the corporation's investors. Instead, the rule is profit uber alles, though Milton Friedman wasn't quite crass enough to phrase it in so blunt a fashion.

Also, I don't trust "nuance" in corporate communications. I'd rather have plain English, stripped of all euphemisms and doublespeak. Of course, that probably wouldn't be profitable and sound too much like Lily Tomlin on Caturday Night Live:

> We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Social Networking Company.
Don't you think it would be a public service for news to report such information? Have it listed somewhere conveniently?

It would literally be the most accurate look at worse case constant exposure.

I'm not implying any sort of conspiracy, just an emergent combination of social pressure and implicit taboo. Lots of powerful and not so powerful reputations are riding on the "danger" of this virus and the "safety and efficacy" of the vaccines. And if that's not enough for you, don't forget that fear gets clicks.
In my opinion after years in the industry, the benefits of type safety are too compelling and well known, to the point that I don't even feel like debating it. It's not a fad that will change periodically.
