> Botvinnik famously recommended that a professional chess player should only play 80 tournament games a year and leave himself/herself time to think about chess.

Fun fact: Botvinik became world champion without being a `professional` chess player. He had a full-time job as an electrical engineer.
That’s a stretch. There are already plenty of places to find news (many/most backed by billionaires, from FB and Twitter to Murdoch’s empire).

These guys just want to stick their oars in too.
It wouldn't transfer money strictly from later shareholders to earlier ones, because that's not fixed as in a pyramid scheme. The people from the failing company should theoretically be doing something even more worthwhile with their time and energy, unless there has been some actual unforseen damage. I mean it's zero sum from the point of view of all the shareholders as a single entity, if they can invest only in one single company, but not the market overall.

Not with that attitude.
It's hard to claim FORTH is "hype" while not being delusional about how few people actually have used it (and how high the percentage of very accomplished FORTH authors there are out of the whole of FORTH users). There is exceedingly little "hype" about FORTH, because the number of people who genuinely are aware of anything about it as simple as "FORTH is a postfix, stack-based language" is probably under 2000 worldwide, especially given most of its users happen to be dead now.

To extend the hype metaphor in your comment, FORTH is like the really good, really under-the-radar niche local artist that a bunch of critically-acclaimed, really hyped bands like.
Yes there was and sure, in the short term the Imperium seemed a good deal - until the wrong person takes the position of emperor which inevitable lead to mass terror and destruction. Something which had happened a number of times in Rome's history.

That's my point. I don't really care. Yet for IPv6 I suddenly need some way to automatically update the firewall rules etc, because the internal IP is also the public IP.

One thing is blitz/bullet is totally not the same game as when you have 20+ minutes on the clock. Even at lower levels, once you kinda absorb how to do depth searching and thinking about positions, you will be thinking much more deeply than what is seen in blitz

Lots of people consider blitz and bullet to be brain poison for playing chess well
when I was a kid, I had fun playing chess. other than opening moves, I didn't know any strategies nor did I think ahead more than a move.

later when I found out "serious" chess was about memorization of classical moves and thinking in trees, I kinda lost all interest.

Yes as well as the republic itself. It's a garbage system designed to keep power out of the grasp of the commons, which only has merit in relation to even worse systems like monarchies or fascism.
True, this is why database libraries/orms can be dangerous - the "normal" db way is to wrap 1,2 in a transaction. Unfortunately, while transactions are often available many db interfaces lures the unwary programmer away from using transactions, because reading/writing the db "looks like" reading/writing a variable/object.

Quotes from the 1984 study:

> Livers from rats provided with diet containing 2% DEHP show an increased number of peroxisomes after a few days

> In spite of the lack of direct evidences […] the indications so far obtained are sufficiently unequivocal not to be neglected

> We have reasons to believe that accumulating toxicity is valid for humans

> which means that evaluation of chronic human toxicity cannot be performed until around 2000 to 2020!

From that to “vinyl records will damage your liver” seems like a huge jump.
The title implies that all billionaires constitute a cabal, which is actually a conspiracy some people wholeheartedly believe in. The next implication of the title: this cabal is trying to control information flow. That's classic.

Reality is much less exciting: there's an org launching that intends to fight disinformation in media, and they are disclosing the names of its financial backers.
Personal responsibility. We don’t need to baby proof life, brother.
It really feels to me like Facebook is basically squating the metaverse name, that existed for quite some time as a concept. And I don't like that at all - now everyone working on this stuff essentially has to start calling it with a different name or else they will look like they are somehow connected to Facebooks corrupted attempt at building a metaverse.
FWIW, the notion that Ableton is just for dance music is very far from the truth. Sometimes they don't help themselves with their marketing, but the software suits all kinds of music making from dance to classical to ..whatever.

Also FWIW, it's without doubt in my mind the best DAW by a long stretch. For me there are many reasons for this but the killer one is that the time and effort from idea to laid track is miniscule.

When you're dealing with initial ideas, they're extremely fragile. I've had so many of these slip into the abyss in the face of crap software. Ableton - once you've learnt the basics - has you getting stuff down within seconds of booting. That's immensely valuable IMO.
Fortress didn’t have a total order of operators. Also IIRC operators could be tightly bound or loosely bound based on whitespace.
I think we should get a bigger role for academia in society. Now its role is diminishing.

If you only look at the crap that is sold in supermarkets, then it's no wonder people lose faith in government and science.

But science needs to step up its game as well. Verification/falsification should be a more respected part of science. This means more work and thus more investments in science.
You are a good example of why fighting disinformation is important.

"The algorithm minimizes the fingers speed needed to play a sequence of notes "

This is a bad optimization. Because fingering should be a function of the desired musical effect. Speed can be one of them but most of the time others effects like articulation, phrasing, dynamics, timing etc. and their combination are much more important.

Piano fingering is an art. Whole books are written about this topic.
Such a primitive algorithm can never produce good results. Better is to learn from the masters. The Henle App can display different fingerings from different master pianists for the same piece. There is a lot one can learn from those masters, but not from a speed optimization algorithm.
And truth.
Taking pills is like eating, it's a think everyone does, and comes from "outside" of you. An implant is something you add to yourself. However that may be biased from what I know. Many people have hearing aids that they can't really take off, and for them it's normal. I don't know many people like that so implants seem unusual to me. On the other hand, pretty much everyone I know too pills at some point.
I’m not saying that you are or are not, because I don’t have any context, but consider that your feeling might be wrong. I mean, there’s the real possibility that you are a bad interviewer or a bad phone screener or whatever. Again, not saying that _you_ personally are. I don’t have the information to know. I’m just pointing out that it’s the moral equivalent of “if everywhere you go smells like the dog went poo, maybe you should check the bottom of your shoe”

The reason I point it out is because if the industry is going to actually get better at interviews (something we generally agree needs improvement) then we have to continuously challenge the assumption that we are actually good at interviewing when it’s our turn on that side of the conversation.
> Maybe it’s just different and in a hundred years, it will be just as normal.

My guess is it will be looked upon as some barbaric/stupid treatment. People are just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. The majority of it will be tossed aside when the problem is better understood.
This book claims to be the answer to "I am a diligent student so why do I suck?" Having skimmed the first thirty pages, I can assure you the question remains unanswered (the author, being talented, really doesn't get it from our plebe view).
Alas, this is probably pointless.

Some technologies (PV, batteries, wind) have improved by an order of magnitude - and swamp out all other considerations.

EDIT: to be clear, i loved the original book, and have re-read it several times over the years.
The problem with function coloring is that it tends to proliferate throughout APIs (since you need to be async to call async), so as things evolve you find yourself needing to await the majority of function calls… this makes it kind of tough to avoid awaiting during critical paths.

That said I still agree that it’s easier to manage than Threads, but something tells me we’re still going to want structured-concurrency versions of the common primitives like rw locks and mutexes, even in async environments.
Sorry, I simply don't agree with your point of view.

You can’t use every approach as iron seeding and this both do the same thing and the oceans are finite.

So this isn’t a 1% solution, it’s not even a 0.1% soliton it might be a 0.01% solution. “50,000 tonnes of tephra – a bulk carrier vessel’s worth – offshore could sequester 2750 tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This, they said, equates to a cost of around £43 per tonne of carbon dioxide sequestered” assuming absolutely zero CO2 was released in the process.

Bulk carriers are quite efficient and could move 50,000 tons ~= 0.4 tons of CO2 per mile in a straight line. Which sounds fine except you can’t simply dump all 50,000 tons 1 mile off shore and expect anything useful to happen. If you can dump on average 50 tons per mile you just released ~400 tons to sequester 2750. And that’s assuming it somehow gets loaded and unloaded without releasing any extra CO2.
If you’re into this sort of thing — a few years back, a little-known artist named Grimes posted a really great tutorial on using Ableton to make music.

I think it is/isn't a clickbait video regardless of the credentials of who produced it. I agree this one is. It's padded out to 20 minutes, stealth mid roll ads inserted, etc. You don't get to be well-known on youtube by making non-clickbait content. I don't dispute that he's knowledgeable, though.
I think he could have done better and worked more warnings into his delivery as he went.

Simply saying something dangerous isn’t enough. People need to understand _why_ it’s dangerous, or they’re likely to ignore the warnings.

When he was messing around with the capacitors (the really dangerous bit in a microwave). It would have been easy to work in a sentence about how they have a high voltage, and touching them could kill you.

Equally when he was messing with the lasers, he didn’t explain the risk at all, or even demonstrate any safety equipment. Him simply wearing this laser googles on his forehead for the second half of the video would be enough to make it clear that he’s using safety equipment and not just winging it.
At least in the sector where I work, web stuff, Haskell is relatively usable. The same can't be said for Forth. Maybe it's the opposite in the hardware world?
I think the opposite: everyone should keep using their existing metaverse name, to prevent Facebook from getting a viable trademark on it.
FDNY firehouses shuttered over vaccine staffing shortages
Today a lot of the hard work is done for you. Many people who produce hip hop or electronic music take advatage of pre made loops and beats, so yes people do actually publish tracks based off of pre made sounds and thats ok. The tricky part then comes into mixing it all together and getting it to sound the way you like it or just different from others. Sometimes simplicity just sounds good. For me mixing and mastering is the hard part, but even that is becoming automated with software like iZotope.

Music has almost become like successful No-code, where you can just click everything in without even touching the keyboard. However you need a good understanding of what you want and how its done based on music knowledge to get something complex done. Also you might find transitions a little challenging.

Tastes have changed and the bar seems to be set lower, but still the sound has to be interesting or the appeal will be limited.

I believe that whatever enables you to make music that YOU like to hear is the important part. Forget the audience and make something that makes you feel, evokes your emotions, or just helps you relax. This is your advantage to be able to create something that is tailored to you.

With that said, sometimes its better to put a project aside or listen to it in your car and see how you feel about it then, your opinion may change.

Hope this made sense.
First those zillionaires need to demarcate truth zones on the globe so their private truth zones do not overlap. They'll need to create truth borders which, when crossed, cause the local truth regime to be activated, alternatively they'll need to make it impossible to cross truth zone borders. I suspect the latter will be easier to implement than the former given the large experience gained in this field during earlier attempts to implement similar truth regimes.
If you're using well known loops, people will notice. I hear GarageBand's old loops sometimes to this day! Man, I really have to get around to extracting the ones from 1.0...

> I’m going to get skewered for saying this … but the story feels like it’s pandering to current social political trends - i.e. the obsession with diversity.

How do you think HZD pandered to diversity? The main point that I have heard brought up is the wide variety of ethnicities in secondary/background characters, but IMO that is completely consistent with the game's setting and story. The game takes place in a world where human society has literally been reset and rebuilt from scratch, so you'd need to have the full variety of human kind for genetic diversity while at the same time all of the racial and ethnic prejudices that exist today would cease to exist unless the AI was trained to preserve them (it wasn't). Naturally the new world would see new prejudices arise (people are still people after all), and the game does attempt to portray this.
Not everything is worth learning for everyone, especially when it's just something arbitrary people need to remember.

If I invent a crazy unit system for measuring distances, where a "finger" is 8.3 centimeters and a "storey" is 246 centimetres and start using it in my writing, can I really blame others for "anti-intellectualism" when they refuse to learn my arbitrary new unit system?

The problem with operator precedence is just that - any operator precedence rule is an arbitrary convention. I'm not saying that conventions are never worth learning, but it depends on (1) whether such convention is already well understood, and (2) whether the benefit of such conventions outweigh the trouble of requiring everyone to learn it. The precedence between * and + clears both criteria: most people have learned during school, and it's quite common to use both * and + in the same expression that defining that * binds tighter than + can save a lot of parentheses. On the other hand, combination of + and | are rare enough that the benefit of such conventions doesn't outweigh the confusion it could cause.
To be clear, I did played the game back then. I did not perceived it as subtle or indirect or needing to figure out. Back then years ago, that in the moment game moment was "ah, OK, soldiers are supposed to be bad guys and I am supposed to kill them".

Back then, half life was one of the games that made me think about how linear games are evolving to be. At one place, you could decide to go left or right and it joined back together quickly. It was straightforwardly prescripted, which is something we discussed with friends a lot.

I did not needed hindsight of years and my current experience. If anything now I have less experience as I spend significantly less time playing games like this.
I've yet to hear Soros spreading conspiracy theories how Soros does everything evil that is happening to my country. All that nonsense comes from random idiots on the internet.
If an artist uses premade samples (by "samples" here I'm talking about loops, not normal sampling) and do nothing to transform it, it's generally really easy to hear.

One, because it's usually quite boring. Two, usually because we've heard the samples a hundred times before and know roughly where they came from, or at least where they've been used before.

That being said, most large artists do percussion and whatnot from scratch, perhaps re-using individual sounds but almost always coming up with their own arrangements.

A notable artist (group) that used sampling almost exclusively is Prodigy. They're famous for coming up with unique ways to arrange old breakbeat samples and whatnot. I would be surprised if anyone had any issue with it.
The British and all the 'invaders who looted' were wrong to loot. In effect they took items of value for no reciprocal payment = theft. In mitigation, if the indigenes found them they would have used them to make new structure, or melted the gold down to other uses. Now they know better -one hopes most do?. The various thieving nations need to start a process of educational repatriation. Make a copy of the loot and return the original and educate the indigenes on curation and how to start their own museums. As time goes by they can accumulate their own treasures back as they learn to curate. Places that will not curate their own treasures - melting them down for their rulers etc - wait a while before giving them more...

>I would say yes, in large part. The solution is simple but not easy. The key is “Motivation follows action”.

Maybe I've always misunderstood that common saying but there are so many counterexamples that it doesn't seem to be true.

E.g. I actually know how to cook and have already taken the "action" of home cooking many hundreds of times such as preparing spaghetti and baking cakes without any premade kits and yet -- I'm still not interested in cooking at all.

At the same time, I can appreciate that others like chefs or hobbyists take a deep interest in cooking and take delight in combining brand new ingredients. However, even when I give a cookbook as a gift and let that book pass through my hands, it doesn't trigger any interest in cooking.

Maybe another more widespread example is photography. Most people have cameras on smartphones now but most take photos as a utility function rather than some artistic photography interest. The act of taking photos doesn't really get most people over that threshold of being "interested in photography". E.g. they take a picture of where their car is parked in the airport as a reminder -- and then go on to think about everything else that's more interesting to them than photography.

Likewise, making people do more math will make many (most?) become less interested in math. I think that's what some people mean by "generating internal interest is unsolvable".

Where "Motivation Follows Action" makes much more sense is the limited scenario of already being interested in a particular domain but you're just temporarily stuck. E.g. a book author has written texts before but is now staring at a blank page. (Writer's Block.) So the idea is start writing anything -- even nonsense -- and then let the momentum of laying words down start feeding itself and then eventually you end up with a finished book.
