Maybe it is not all related with sound but vision! it must be related with inputs to brain but it cant be only sound.

If you ever work with computer vision, rotating an image a little, lets say tilt, can vastly increase or decrease your algorithm's performance.

For example: early face detection algorithms were looking for T zone in your face from eyebrows to nose. (cheeckbones are generally brighter areas) However, those old algorithms were very bad at if the image is 180 degree rotated (T zone is not T anymore). Dont have to be 180 45 degree is enough for most face detection algorithms.

In neural nets, artificial intelligence practices like augmenting data, rotate the image a little and give the same image as an input data namely Augmenting data improves algorithm performance.
In my opinion the dogs multiply the input by rotating or tilting their head so that autmatically augmenting data!!! So that they can detect better whatever they were looking before.

Computer scientist keep inspiring from nature but maybe its time to explain some phenomena with computer science methods. Researcher force themselves to find a new thing in computer area, maybe they go beyond nature sometimes unintentionally.
If nobody buys it, then nobody will notice it. So there is no way to lose.
Code Smell 98 – Speling Mistakes
This is kind of like the learn a programming language to get a job vs expand your mind discussion

If you want to learn a language for being able to talk to more people then yeah, most conlangs don't make sense. (Except maybe Esperanto for having a huge international community that is bigger than some smaller natural languages).

If anything, conlangs are good for filtering for people that share the interest of learning conlangs (which might be positively correlated with people being interested in linguistics, other cultures, open minded, nerdy or whatever) but not much for expanding the total mass of people you can talk to. It is a pretty nerdy hobby that many people do for the pleasure if learning the language itself. (Similar to hacking in a non mainstream programming language)

As for learning, adults and children do learn differently. While both profit from language immersion, adults do profit much more by explicitly learning grammar. It is a bit of personal preference though. For example I dislike learning vocabulary so I rely more on immersion and looking things up as I go. This might be slower but is more fun to me.

I should not be that hard to find other people learning Toki Pona on the internet but of course meeting some in real life might be difficult. So i agree with your point that total language immersion like you can do when traveling to a country were your target language is spoken is not possible with Toki Pona. You need to be fine with learning from books and videos.

There's not much, if any, context sensitivity IMO. But for it to click, you have to forget for a moment that you're working with a plaintext file, and imagine you're working with trees (that only happen to be serialized as text in front of you). The actions you're executing are defined in terms of operating on trees, not their text representation. The benefit of that, beyond cognitive and typing efficiency, is that (ideally) it should be impossible to enter a syntactically invalid state with structural editing commands alone.

(I'm increasingly convinced that, while plaintext as a format is a great standard for many reasons, having all of our tools default to editing raw plaintext form severely hinders the whole industry.)

> So POSIX and the Unix Specification(TM) are standards

No one fully supports POSIX.

Aside from server systems like AIX or HP-UX Apple is literally the only company that has a POSIX-certified consumer OS (OS X since 10.5 Leopard [1]).

> So my point, if anything, is that if Apple wants to maintain its credibility as a high-end computing systems provider, it needs to revert back to doing far more than paying lip-service to being a Unix vendor - and that includes bringing native support for X

What's "high-end computing systems provider"? Apple is doing really fine as is. Why should they do "far more", and why does this "far more" specifically includes support for X? They supported X for years (OS X 10.2 to 10.7), and then decided it wasn't worth it (and it isn't).

Let's try fixing grandparent's argument: let p be the decoder function, Cantor -> Integer. We can define it as the length of the initial run of zeroes (treat the initial bit as sign). This almost works.

Where it fails is the infinite sequence of zeroes: p would count forever; f.p and g.p are not decidable.

So grandparent's argument in fact shows that OpenCantor -> y does not have decidable equality (where OpenCantor is Cantor with the zero sequence - or by extension, any one computable element - excluded). One special element makes all the difference!

It might be more comfy for HN/engineering types if all book titles were completely dry and precise like that, but most 'real' people enjoy a bit of hyperbole, and have no trouble seeing straight through it. It's all part of a game that helps engage them, and they are willing participants in that game – if you can't differentiate this from deception, it's you who has an incomplete picture of things.

To most people, the fact that the title "4 hour work week" is a bit of attention-grabbing hyperbole is completely obvious, including those who actually read it and got some value from it. If you think anyone who reads a book like that must be some kind of idiot who takes a literal interpretation of an obviously hyperbolic title, then you probably have a cynical and incomplete understanding of how smart most people are. The truth is, identifying the most literal possible description for something is usually just an aspy trick we engineers like to pull when we are confused by something nuanced.

For context, I came across this because I was interested in how they came to acquire the Twitter four-letter twitter handle @meta, which I wrote about here

https://twitter.com/cyri77e/status/1453886080789405707

Turns out it's harvested from the Meta company linked here that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative acquired. Before that the @meta handle was held by an early twitter user fro. Turkey.

This is basically the unremarkable story of the "been on Twitter since 2010" profile with handle @meta.
Reason A: The past ten years of people on HN telling everyone that robots will soon be driving all the trucks, that "driver" is a doomed profession.

Reason B: All the young people who believe reason A because they lacked any clear appreciation of the financial incentives behind the people making those statements. Which leads to:

Reason C: All those "tech-savvy" people who think of driving as no more than keeping between the lines without hitting anything.
Rationally, it's hard to see why one branch of engineering--especially in a few locations in one country today--should generally have significant compensation premiums relative to other branches of engineering. There are a lot of dynamics involved but even just talking US universities, a lot of would-be engineering majors don't have strong preferences for one specific branch of engineering. And if there's a big salary gap...

Of course, there are legit differences in demand for all sort of reasons but it's hard to imagine some equalization of demand and compensation not happening. Especially given that for programming, as opposed to computer science more broadly, the barriers of entry are lower than for engineering more broadly.

To be fair any newish computer OS is going to act the same way in that condition, linux included. I know if I put any of my linux computers in that mode of use they would. My PS4 I use maybe every 2-3 months. Large update every time usually on the order of an hour to do so. I am pretty sure I have not 'paid' for a copy of any OS in 15 years (and that was because I built a computer). Yet I spend a good amount of time 'fixing' things. I pay in spades in time, no matter what little amount I may have forked out when I bought the computer.

I try to keep this in mind when reviewing predictions, speculation, and fiction about artificial intelligences that get super intelligent. There’s more to knowledge than just calculating faster. Hypotheses need to be tested by experimentation; theories must be supported by evidence. (This is not my original idea, I read it in an essay from an AI researcher.)

This is also why there is more to science than statistical analysis. Stats help us understand evidence we have collected. But at some point a new idea needs a new test in order to know if it is useful or correct.
That just seems like a consequence of English having the convention that compound words are written with spaces between them. There is no meaningful difference (apart from the language) between the English "vaccination passport" and the Dutch "vaccinatiepaspoort". For spoken languages, spelling is secondary to speech, so this convention shouldn't matter on whether or not something is a word.

There is surprisingly no all-encompassing definition for "word" in linguistics, but given the fact that you cannot split up "vaccination passport" without either part losing its meaning, it makes sense to award it an entry in a dictionary either way.

There are numerous possibilities for how life began, and whatever process was involved probably took a minimum of millions of years to lead to something self-replicating and stable enough to start adapting. This makes abiogenesis theories likely impossible to directly test over human time scales.

Not that we shouldn't try... it's possible that certain conditions can give rise to self-replicating molecular systems that can adapt very quickly. This doesn't prove that these conditions were the exact ones responsible on primordial Earth, but it does prove that the phenomenon of abiogenesis is categorically possible under plausible early Earth conditions.

There are lots of other phenomena in nature that may be impossible to directly test. Biological evolution for instance is somewhat testable, but only on a small scale in both time and organismal complexity:

http://myxo.css.msu.edu/ecoli/

We can also run computer evolution experiments that validate some of the theoretical assumptions underlying biological evolution in a very abstract way, but these can't validate specific biological hypotheses about physical systems.

I agree that Clinton's "deplorables" speech was a gaffe, but I also just re-read it. She's not talking about blue collar workers in general, but a particular strain of voters who are motivated by racism, sexism, etc. Naturally her opponent fought back, pretending that she was attacking the working class in general.

Today, what she said is considered to be a basic fact of American politics. Part of what makes the Deplorables such a powerful force is that it has become politically incorrect to talk about them openly in plain terms, or to confront them with their own beliefs.

I think it’s up to the network owner to decide what should be blocked or allowed in their network.

1.1.1.3 (or 2) is a tool in the tool chest. Some people may find it too aggressive and don’t need to implement it, some may find it too conservative and implement more. No tool will be perfect for everyone, and if you don’t find it hits the right balance you don’t have to use it. No one has to use it, and cloudflare can literally release any free block list they want and call it parental blocking. It’s free, it’s a best effort product that doesn’t drive revenue, and it is up to each network owner to determine which blocks they want.

It would be a totally different story if the company was determining blocking for the US or people were forced to use it. But they aren’t.

One major claim of Nobel Laureate Vernon Smith's "Rationality in Economics" is "the profit-maximizing firm will fail in finite time."

The book is excellent, one of my favorite econ books, and is Smith's somewhat dense but well-written explanation for and interpretation of economics. His main thesis is that "rationality" is not a "constructivist" property of various agents, being possessed by any (or every) individual separately, but is an "ecological" property that emerges collectively from e.g. the price system, organization of firms and other economic relations.

His argument about profit-maximizing firms proceeds almost exactly along the lines of this tweetstorm, but goes further. Why would Wall Street want to reward companies that fail to be robust to changes? Are there other structural problems (the law? regulatory regime? bailouts? monopoly?) that cause CEOs and Wall Street actors to be collectively "irrational" as we are seeing today with JIT-everything?

IMHO, the problem is political-economic. Finance has arrived at this equilibrium of asset price insanity and phony accounting because the regulatory regime and state actions as a whole (e.g. bailouts) are entirely out of whack – the system has no working feedback mechanisms at the moment, so the economy is in a real sense failing. How did the state fail? Partly in response to demands from powerful & wealthy entities on e.g. Wall Street.

Its not a steno keyboard, but I think its better suited for programming and general writing.

It has two modes, entry mode and chord mode:

- In entry mode you press each key to make words like a normal keyboard.
- In chord mode, you press multiple keys at the same time and the internal processor rewrites the word correctly or something like that.

There are two types, CharaChorder and CharaChorder Lite:
- The Lite its like a regular keyboard, but you can use the chord entry mode.
- The original one instead of 1D keys, uses 4D keys that are like joysticks.

LinkLonk does "differentiate a user who indiscriminately likes/follows everything from a user who likes just the things I like". Every time someone that you are connected to likes something, your connection to them becomes a little weaker. If you ignore recommendations of that user then you will not see what they liked in your recommendations. Very roughly, you can think of the connection strength from user A to B as "size(set of items both A and B liked)/size(set of item B liked)". So someone who likes everything increases the denominator a lot.

You are right, to keep track of user to user connections is more expensive than only to keep track of the number of likes each item has received (Reddit).

But ultimately someone has to track how trustworthy each of the users is to every other user.

Either every user has to track it for themselves in their head. Or we can try to offload some of that work to the computer. LinkLonk is an experiment to do just that. So yes, this computation is expensive, but it is also the main value proposition.

The Barnes and Noble store near my home is in a super clean, nice mall. The store itself is awesome, except the bathroom. I guess any toilet open to the public is going to be bad, unless it is some high end establishment with someone full time maintaining it. I guess most businesses are unable or unwilling to spend money doing so, it is easier to simply restrict access, even if it is dehumanizing.

I wonder if it is possible to design trucks with a airplane sized toilet? I don't know how much it would cost or how it would work, but at least it is worth thinking about?

Yup. Salt was very expensive in Roman times. (It is linked to "salary" for good reason.) I'd bet money that nobody today would dare sell or even make something anywhere close to the actual ancient product, the cheap low-salt stuff used by normal people. Botulism is not something to toy around with.
