I wonder what kind of ISP it was with to few bandwidth for proper DNS ^^

And I'm really curious which other ISPs are running such setups that you had to deal with and for what reason they do so.
It's basic typographic design philosophy around whitespace - your eye needs somewhere to rest, and narrow columns of text are just easier to read. I personally like ample padding and whitespace, and don't want wall to wall content that just looks like a jumbled mess.

>our M1 is actually performing better performance wise

I did performance analysis work for a long span of my career. While I'm reading between the lines of what you wrote, my first question is - what do you mean by performing better? As in, is it somehow able to process more of these tasks over a given timeframe? If so, I'd want to understand more about the workloads you are running to make sure it's a proper comparison.

There's a whole lot more questions we need to answer here to understand the results you are seeing before we can have any kind of discussion of whether M1s would be "better."
I just find it funny that people are using this to escape all the problems of the real world by implementing all the problems the real world has in a virtual world.

I do have to give people credit for coming up with one of the most elaborate pump and dump schemes of all time.
You just say thanks for sharing and drop the other bit.
The 19th century feel it lends may also be a part of it, and is also not accidental: the naming scheme originates from the times before the modern corporation, where no isolation from liability meant a failed business could easily leave the founder on the street (but loans were also much less accessible). Not much to lose further, then, is there?

Automated music transcription - the process of generating a musical score from an audio recording - is a pretty active topic in signal processing (and has been for a couple of decades at least).

The monophonic case (one note at a time) is fairly well solved at this point: there are decades old solutions in both the frequency domain (like FFT) and time domain (like auto-correlation and the dozens of refinements of that basic concept) that work quite well under less than ideal conditions and in near real-time. Even naive solution like just counting the number of zero-crossings in the audio signal to estimate the fundamental frequency works pretty well.

The polyphonic case (like chord detection) is trickier, especially depending on what you're looking for exactly. I.e., is it sufficient to say "that's a C Major chord" or are you looking for a specific inversion or even fingering? Does it need to happen in real-time based off a microphone or could you batch-process an audio file instead?

But there are both academic solutions and consumer-oriented tools that can do a reasonable job of it (again, depending on what you're looking for).

If you're looking for guitar-chord detection in particular, I'd recommend you take a look at Chordify (https://chordify.net/). I'm even the developer of a product that competes with (or at least overlaps with) Chordify, but frankly it pretty much does what it says on the tin (extracts chords from audio recordings with more than acceptable fidelity, especially if you're willing and able to refine that by ear using the automated transcription as a starting point).

I'm pretty sure Chorify's solution is based on "deep learning" (ANN) techniques, but others have noted in this thread that's not the only viable way to do it. I suspect some combination of increasing computational power and algorithmic refinements will eventually lead to a "direct analysis" approach that becomes as common/conventional for polyphonic pitch detection as FFT and AC are for the monophonic case. There are already a number of fairly effective techniques depending on the constraints you want to put on the problem.

But the manifesto was written by many of the same people. The expectation that they would be compatible seems reasonable. And, the "Scrum Alliance" happened very shortly after the manifesto.
It's interesting to think about what my life might have been like if I had been born 500 years earlier. I think carpenter or stonemason are what I would have been most interested in. But I really love books, so maybe I would have ended up in the clergy. Thank goodness I was born now.
> There's something very appealing to me about people who name their companies after themselves. Ling's cars, Prusa Research, Linus Media Group. Maybe I'm only remembering the good examples, but when you put yourself out there, it seems like there is a strong incentive to not fuck up your reputation.

So it would seem, but companies can and do survive their founders, and at that point they are no different than any other. Not to mention that founders can be motivated by reputation in an idiosyncratic manner.

Self-preserving is the best. Thank you. I personally don't like self-propagating, when the truth is that it's free, but with a catch. Forcing people to do the right thing, even if the intent is good, is still forcing someone to do something the don't want to, or even can't.
This court case is a big deal because it has the potential to set a precedent on whether users have the legal standing (as third-party beneficiaries, not copyright holders) to sue a developer with the goal of compelling the developer (via an order of specific performance) to release source code of proprietary software that incorporates code from a copyleft license, when the developer is violating the license by keeping the code closed source.

If the SFC wins, the new precedent would make it easier for the free software community to demand developers who violate copyleft licenses to rectify their violations. A settlement would not generate a precedent, so this case would need to be decided to obtain the SFC's desired result.

502: Bad Gateway

checks out
Agreed. That’s why I liked XHTML when it came out – it’s hard to believe that’s more than two decades ago! While HTML5 had lots of goodies, I liked the rigour that XHTML imposed on web authors.
Like any tool, it can easily be misused.

The post in question is a good demonstration of how you can misuse the 5-whys, and it gets well deserved criticism for that. It's obviously not getting anywhere 5 levels deep, so it's asking the wrong questions, and honestly, giving very bad answers that don't lead anywhere: 5-whys require a specific mindset first. Thus, the final "root cause" is very suspect and there's one too many "feel" and "think" in there.

To illustrate, the answer to #2 of "Because I am constantly tempted to check my email, rather than work on important projects." is lacking in substance to answer "why are you getting distracted" (it says the same thing in slightly different words). You can go on-and-on in the same vein. "Because my email notifications pop up and I check them out", "Because when I check my email notifications out, I read the email and now I've lost my context and got immersed into the email topic instead"... That's not helpful at all.

As soon as you get to "I get easily distracted by email", that's already a problem worth solving ("root cause"). And it can have multiple solutions: 1. if you are a blocker for something, move that to an email list of people, a "board" or "forum" discussion; 2. if you are not a blocker, stop notifications and set checkpoints for when you'll read email during the day, and open a side-channel for urgencies if it's ever needed.

If that's not the root cause (it is actually expected of you to be responsive even if you are not a blocker to anything), only then is it worth digging deeper to find problems in the team that make this so.

Of course, I am working with the assumption that being extremely responsive to email is really hurting this person's work (they were not hired to be responsive to emails, eg. as a technical architect to support a development team).

Not everyone has the same employment or financial situation.

I think a lot of people are more fearful of debt than warranted, just like a lot of people are not fearful enough of debt.

For example, I know many people who wished they took on more debt to purchase homes when the market was cheaper, and deeply regret their choices.

A lot of students are saddled with oppressive debt, but a lot come out with manageable debt and high paying careers. If I had been more thoughtful, I should have identified myself in the latter group.

For me personally, I don't think a few thousand bucks would have had any impact whatsoever. I have a good job and could pay it off without blinking an eye. In my situation, sums like that are essentially irrelevant. These days I worry about things like million+ mortgages, and having enough time with friends and family.

>Plus it is often completely legal to cross when there is not crossing close.

Though not always, got burned by this as a teenager when I got hit crossing the highway in front of my trailer park. The intersection I crossed from was a private road, which stuck my family with liability on the ambulance ride (which luckily was the worst of it.)
You have a higher opinion of people than I do. I've had someone threaten to kill me because he was trying to barge through a zebra crossing while I was on it, and he felt the need to get out of his car and have a go in person because I was, you know, blocking his car.

People know. They don't care. They'd rather kill someone than slow down.
Down again! Very unprofessional. Well done
I can see where you might argue that telling 900 ppl simultaneously that they're fired, over zoom, does make sense, but there is an element of true cowardliness about how this fellow went about it. He's not vulnerable to any real human backlash in this context, whereas a manager or CEO saying the same kind of shit in a one on one meeting would.
Yes, I only use Wikipedia on a desktop and I exclusively use the m. site.
I agree. Left turns on green are an invention that works great in rural American small towns where traffic volume is low. Most of the places I've lived transition to protected signals as the density of the area goes up, but sometimes it can take years for the funds to be allocated, and in that time it can become a pretty confusing intersection. In a proper city I think they make no sense at all.
The same. I think it is technically correct and I initially thought that 502 error is intentional.
And down again
This nonsense seems rife.

A few years ago, my co. was acquired, and they wanted to change our contracts.

New contract had a clause: You cannot do any work - paid or unpaid - without the companies' express permission.

So, like, I can't fire the starting gun at the village 3-legged race without your say-so ?

Cue the usual "oh it's standard we never enforce it" BS. Entire team refused to sign. Eventually it got struck.

They similarly wanted to wheedle in 24/7 support rota into my contract. I simply crossed it out (annotated with a witness signature in the margin) and returned. Never heard about it again.
It's a systemic issue drivers are one stakeholder and many are responsible. Vehicle designers & manufactures, Urban Planners etc.

The real cost is that driving kills 40,000 people a year in the US.

I wonder how much of this is because SF rarely uses left-turn signals.

This forces drivers on streets like Guerrero or Valencia St who need to make left turns to do so against oncoming traffic. When that oncoming traffic doesn't give you a good opportunity to make that left turn, you are forced to take bad opportunities. This usually involves dashing across the oncoming lane quickly at the last second. I can't imagine that this is safe for pedestrians.
Note that you could also make it a bookmarklet which requires no permissions and only accesses the current tab when the user clicks it. Would be nice for trying out how it looks, given how little it changes I was expecting this would be a little bookmarklet and was a bit disappointed I had to add an extension to my browser for trying the look.

I have spent some time learning about DAOs and this is what I understood. Please correct me if there is a mistake.

Coined as Decentralized autonomous organization, they are decentralized applications whose main function is to handle fund disbursement. They work more or less as any other treasury but in a more transparent and automated way.

What further separates them from the traditional treasury is that they are essentially a piece of code that runs on blockchain networks, like Ethereum, Cardano, Solana etc. It makes DAOs a lot different from traditional organisations and businesses from an economic and regulation sense.

Let’s take an example DAO and how it operates. There is no defined template of a DAO yet so I’ll use this open source code written in solidity as an example https://github.com/blockchainsllc/DAO/blob/develop/DAO.sol

This can be called a decentralized application or a smart contract. It defines an Interface which can be used to instantiate a DAO contract. The first few constants define the regulatory parameters. The most interesting part is the proposal array. It holds all the proposals submitted by the proposal creator that specifies an amount which is to be paid to the proposal recipient if it gets approved. Approval is done by DAO stakeholder by casting votes.

From a freelancer’s perspective this can be a bidding platform where gig workers can place their proposals and get paid once the work is done. A very transparent and seamless experience as compared to existing freelance marketplaces.
That's because it isn't a technology problem but a legal one.
Yeah, but it's unprofessional in just the right ways, which signals sophistication lol.
Also instead of a legal entity with the ability to petition the government for redress of grievances, it's just a bunch of data emitted by some smart contract code.

This is going to turn out to be important the first time a DAO gets significantly scammed. Someone's going to take the money and run, or otherwise violate the "contract" that the DAO thought it was "enforcing", and... there won't be anything to do. There won't be any way to fix it. The smart contract doesn't handle the edge case of having to hire a lawyer on its own behalf.

I mean, just to take this particular mostly-harmless situation as an example: that membership in the Blender Development Fund presumably includes some amount of official input into how the money gets spent. What if the DAO has specific desires or expectations, and Blender simply chooses to ignore them?
Ya, I'm willing to bet money this is going to happen. It's pretty much guaranteed at this point since there is evidence now that Omicron picked up DNA from the common cold. [1]

Every time I get into a discussion like this, I feel like I meet a bunch of people who have only ever lived in very dense urban environments. Even in medium cities (using Portland, Oregon as a convenient example), cars make sense. The density just isn't there to support eliminating cars except for a few blocks in the densest area of downtown.
To quote a spiritual/philosophic answer from an Islamic perspective, there's a hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until time passes quickly, so a year will be like a month, and a month will be like a week, and a week will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour, and an hour will be like the burning of a braid of palm leaves"
Time to quarantine all cars for an unknown amount of time!
Or we could actually test people. The drivers test is a joke here. Most "accidents" are really the result of someone making a bad choice - to look at their phone, to exceed safe speeds, to run a red light (impatience is probably the biggest in my opinion), etc.
>>...indicating that BERT does not treat grammatical agreement as a rule that must be followed.

This makes sense, since the model inference they used is stochastic - if they'd used a deterministic inference pass, they'd be able to inspect whether the rule, as encoded in the model, was correctly learned to be applied to instances of grammatical agreement.

They're treating BERT as some sort of black box, and then train a set of models on different data, drawing conclusions from their interrogation of the models. Their methodology needs to account for what transformers do with the data during training, and to impose a spectrum of training parameters and randomized corpuses to eke any useful observations about BERT. Other language models like Megatron, gpt-2, and gpt-3 have very different capabilities.

None of their conclusions are applicable to anything other than the particular models they trained.

>>it knows that subjects and verbs should agree and that high frequency words are more likely, but doesn’t understand that agreement is a rule that must be followed and that the frequency is only a preference.

This is only true because of the particular way they used the model, and shows a glaring misunderstanding about what the software is doing, without any apparent attempts to use the architecture as context for their assumptions.

You cannot generalize assertions about language models at large by running BERT a few times. You need to understand the architecture of each model to know how the changes in training and inference will constrain the capabilities of each model.

There are probably very interesting insights into transformer based models that you could derive from a better methodology and range of architectures, but this article fails to deliver even a single valid insight.

They have two modes:
1. Transcribed tabs. They own the transcription as they have done with their catalogue in existing Rocksmith games. I believe they claim they use some “AI assistance” here, but I could be wrong. At the end of the day, they pay a large number of musicians to chew through songs and write tabs.
2. Chord following. They use automated transcription to get the chords for a very large number of songs. This is a new mode in the newest game and is entirely automated, but limited.
