> It appears it is possible to create a crossover that preserves phase but it is difficult. Most designs instead try to minimize the phase difference.

This is correct, I'm not convinced being slightly out of phase is a big issue though, and wildly out of phase shouldn't happen in a good design. Full range drivers have other issues, there is no way you can construct a chassis that is equally good at reproducing bass and treble as a n-way system, and its usually the treble that suffers. This is why commercial coax systems often are layered two-way systems, eg the KEF LSX50. I'm not saying what you are experiencing isn't real, but if there weren't pros and cons then high-end Hifi (as opposed to PA) speakers would have moved to that concept, which they haven't.

Maybe what you are experiencing is due to better dispersion. You can improve that in n-way systems by adding strong chamfers to the enclosure, see popular DIY projects Disco-M [0] or LYC [1] or DXT-MON[2] (phase chart at crossover included in comment).

Sometimes dreams 'hit differently'. It feels like they're reinforcing a lost emotion or feeling, like a calibration. You get reminded what's it's like to feel, usually in the extreme sense. I've had the experience of being 'fixed' emotionally by these dreams.

I've always wondered if there's something that induces these special dreams. I know that diet might have an effect on dreams, especially some types of cheese [0]. So, I'm just throwing this idea out there that maybe there's some link in diet, dreams, and mental health.

No amount of "ASIC unfriendlyness" will bring back the cute old days of distributed desktop mining. Concentration to a few specialists is the natural end game of any PoW scheme, no matter how much effort you put into inconveniencing them. If a highly concentrated cryptocoin network is not good enough, cryptocoin is not good enough.

(your last point however is valid nonetheless, the scenario of large blocks of capacity jumping between networks and how deliberate algorithm design tweaks might offer some protection)

I think we're talking about different kinds of code generation.

I'm mostly talking about boilerplate like writing `if err != nil` with a nice wrapping message every other line. Copilot will just write 2-3 lines at a time. That's imo the kind of boilerplate that might often be annoying to write.

I'm not talking about generating multiple copies of the same function nor anything like that. That would be better suited to deterministic generation or copy+paste. Copilot doesn't help you here.

NY bagels, and pizza, are always the best.

I used to work for Marin Bagels.

Hated the owner, but that's not my point.

Making bagels last more than a day is difficult task.

Real bagels need to be boiled.

These boiled bagels that are only flour, water, and salt. (there's so much yeast in the air of a bagel shop they don't need to add anymore.)

These bagels are only fresh for a few hours, and need to be freezed if you want anything resembling a fresh NY bagel.

My point is bagels are hard to make. That is good bagels. Good bagels need to be made daily.

Bagels in the store are basically white bread.

I still think there's a market for fresh bagels flash frozen. I noticed one company doing it, but the price point was too high.
You asked a very good and important question. I don't want to share the answer, but know that it explains a very important topic on economic systems.

Since I'm not going to be giving away the answer, I want you to at least ask yourself:

Does the practice of pressing buttons and printing dollars provide value at the value the units represent?

And since your concern seems to be the environmental cost of bitcoin mining, what are the environmental costs to pressing buttons on a computer adding dollars into a digital dollar network along with running printers to create a few sheets of paper money?

Are there any environmental costs beyond the electricity that runs the printers and the computer and the trees cut down to print the money on?

If so what would those environment costs be and where would they be coming from?

If not, where is the value of that dollar coming from to begin with?
I'm still not sure if this is a comment on the advertising or how the corporate world works in general. Either way seems true to me.
I really don’t understand why we put JSON everywhere tbf.

You are limited to very few types, important ones like dates are missing, JSON is a pain to write and format without a "smart" editor. It’s also a pain to read as soon as you start listing complex things.

Not saying here that YAML or TOML are better (though I personally prefer TOML) but more that nothing is really nice.

It’s just that if we have to give up on a config format to be easily editable with basic tools, maybe we should have stuck with XLM. At least it had solid format definition and enforcement. It’s a semi-troll but maybe we could have something in between XLM and YAML.

I really liked their content when they first launched here in AU.

I have two family members on limited incomes who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it - so I got the top-end plan, specifically because it said something about multiple devices in your family.

Then the prices were raised, it became harder to find anything that I wanted to watch (new content I wasn't interested in, and lots of missing older content). I basically stopped using it.

Then prices were put up again (twice, I think), at the same time that they started bitching about password sharing/whatever. Then one family member died, and the other stopped using it, so... yeah, I'll keep the $23/month.

Terseness - you can describe exactly what you want without repetition at arbitrary cross-sections

Intuitive behavior - unification by design is unordered (ie. it doesn't matter in which order input is processed, it'll produce the same result), you get what you see.

Verification - ie. you can do one-liner policies easily to have some structure with desired types/values etc.

It's just well designed (based on good theory), practical language for configuration.

We use it in critical project to describe services on different envs, it works very well.

With board approval the majority owners can do pretty much anything. You can re-cap existing shareholders down to basically zero ownership to privilege new ones, you can screw the employee pool in favor of the investors and founders (that's pretty normal, actually, employees should always assume they'll be screwed in an exit), you can even dilute specific previous investors/founders out of the pool like what Zuck did to Saverin.

The reason you don't is that you don't want to get a reputation as a shady operator. If you recap a big VC out you're probably never going to raise again. Fuck an angel and word will get around, though it's not as bad as crossing a VC. Screwing employees is not great but news of that doesn't spread as widely so people do it a lot.

Re: "share representing ownership", there's a reason that when companies get 409a valuations for employee options they're usually valued at a small fraction of the preferred shares that investors buy. Your interest is not anywhere near as real as the people buying preferred shares until you go public.

Fortunately, rocks can be crushed with power from solar panels. There remains the issue of whether those panels are better used, just now, to displace natural gas burners emitting new CO2 than to crush rocks to absorb CO2. Or, equivalently, if NG-generated power used to crush rocks makes more CO2 than would then be absorbed by the rocks.

In a near enough future, it won't matter, because the NG will all have been displaced already.

I've been waiting for this type of audio content to get more popular. The problem with streaming video is that you can't consume it while doing something else and this puts certain limits. Audio you can consume while commuting, walking, etc. Also it's much cheaper to produce. If you can still charge the same monthly fee as from streaming video, this sounds like a good deal.

> It might just be personal preference here, but I look at that thing and shudder. Can you imagine authoring that? Maintaining it?

Isn't the problem more the tooling than the configuration language specification? Can you imagine authoring office documents by hand? Or maintaining them?

My text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to reference YAML variables as paths while editing documents. The editor includes a collapsible tree view of the variables, which makes navigation and maintenance a breeze.

https://i.ibb.co/qp0vj1Q/yaml-editor.png

Also, when inserting a variable into the document, the YAML tree expands automatically to the location the variable is defined. From the end user perspective, the data format is irrelevant.

Here's an example that produces a user-friendly UI for a JSON schema:

The left nav and menu is reminiscent of VSCode. I'm not accusing the project of plagiarism. I think more standardization, especially with menus, instead of reinventing the UX wheel for every project is a good thing. Is the code for the left nav widget open source? I want to use it, too.

I'm really not a fan of implicit context being passed around like this. I hated Scala's implicit feature although I'm not familiar with the recent apparent improvements referenced in the article.

In a larger 'with' block, you cannot tell which invocations will interact with or change the state of a context object without looking at site of the definition of the function.

For me, when reading others' code, being able to construct a mental model of what the effects of a line of code in isolation is a vital property for code to be readable/comprehensible. Without implicits, you can mentally constrain what effects a line like "x.y(z)" will have on the state of the program.

One issue I had with the Scala feature was how it made refactoring is more fraught - as it's not clear which pieces of code in the 'with' block can be moved elsewhere from just reading the code.

Context objects behave like a form of global variable except their use can be even more confusing as Foo@this will refer to different things depending on the runtime call stack. And similarly, it bakes in a singleton aspect to the context objects. The example model from the article should allow functions to operate on multiple Transaction or AccountRepo instances, for example.

I'm on my phone right now but maybe one if you can double check: since YAML is a superset of JSON you can parse JSON with a YAML parser right? Does that mean you can add YAML comments to JSON and parse the JSON with the YAML parser, to get JSON-with-comments?

For any interested in Peter Arnell, the genius designer behind the redesign, I encourage you to look up "pepsi logo" on hn.
The design document is such a radical statement it will certainly impact your view of design and corporate world.

In Belgium the absolute dirt-cheap products are called "white products" ('produits blancs') due to their mostly white packaging (relevant to this is xkcd 993).
It's striking how very similar their branding identity is to the new design.
The fact that the design was not even recognizable from afar while the product did not change is very confusing from a consumer perspective.
There are some very basic mistakes: the brand name is not in the right orientation anymore, it is less readable because it is too thin.
Any "artisanal" feel is removed by the more sterilized design. I think only a "genius designer" could make corporates accepts design mistakes as bold choices.

The more important thing is that this is from 2008. One would think that since then, companies would have learned that these redesigns are a terrible idea.
Nonetheless, they still and always push for such soulless redesigns. The last in date being the announced Street Fighter 6 logo debacle, going from instantly recognizable brand to literal Adobe stock design.
Are there any active .su domains?
It is true that many of the neurons don’t seem appropriate (e.g. mixing two largely unrelated concepts), but,

well, that particular issue isn’t a problem with the hypothetical I describe, because “this neuron represents ‘either a fire truck or a nebula’” is still something we can describe.

But, yes, I suppose it is possible that there could be important parts of how the network works that aren’t amenable to understanding what a local part is doing in order to achieve a task.
Perhaps details in how parts behave which seem meaningless individually, and only have a useful effect when many such parts are put together across many layers.

But, I still think that it is important to note that, when trained in a diverse way, representative of how the actual distribution, there are at least, many parts of the functioning which can be understood.

Trained NNs aren’t inherently completely inscrutable in how they accomplish things.

But yes, you do have a point that we probably can’t really rule out that there are important aspects of the functioning of these networks that can’t be understood locally in a human-meaningful way, even if many parts of it can be understood.

> The same with music, and inversely - a great song will still sound great and enjoyable on a really crappy car stereo.

Not really agree on this one. I would say you will still like it and maybe enjoy it because this is the only way you can enjoy it while driving. But that doesn't mean it sound great.

The issue is that most music is overcompressed these days to make up for the fact that most people are listening to music in hostile environment or with bad devices. Which make the difference with higher fidelity equipment less important. Without being an audiophile I have records from the 90's that only felt so great on headphones or decent hifi. The music was less compressed these days, there were much higher amplitude difference between parts of the song, instruments. Back in the days listening on the radio felt weird and flat. We just lowered the bar to the point that everything feel weird and flat. Like fast food or premade dishes that only have a general way too salty or too sweet tastes where your palate cannot do the sorting anymore of the different ingredients that have been put to it.

I still think a decent hifi equipment would make a ton of difference for someone into classical records. Modern POP music? Waste of money.
Depending on your specific requirements, take a look at AWS Elastic Beanstalk, or GCP Cloud Run (some glue required for the latter). If you do end up going the DIY route, maybe take a look at Nomad before k8s, it's drastically easier. Disclaimer: i work at HashiCorp, but i've been blogging about this for years before joining (blog link in bio).
In some sense, readiness, probably. But who knows really what that means. Perhaps it’s just the right flux of the electric field coursing through your neurons, or perhaps it’s something even less intelligible.

Maybe it’s good health leading to leftover nighttime surplus reflective capacity - with a grain of salt: I once read a paper [0] suggesting that while awake, the brain processes exteroceptive signals; asleep, it processes interoceptive signals - maybe it’s a ‘belief confirmation’ / error-prediction “circuit” gone haywire, affirming beliefs so strongly that you awake to feel the beliefs hot in your bones, but for no apparent reason. But maybe it’s just a jolt that happens like something to remind you of what it feels like to have the feeling of strongly held convictions, if you’ve been having a hard time coping with sparse rewards from the outside world. I could only speculate :)
