You can use a third party pre-issuance submission to ensure that the parent examiner considers your work as prior art during the application process. There’s no fee to file the first three documents you want to the examiner to consider. This will ensure he doesn’t get a patent which could be construed to block you from building your lock design.

Likely they drop a cookie with a session ID. I believe (but have no knowledge) that Disqus presents in an iframe, so the cookie persists whenever it loads on a page. So they can attribute all posts from that common session id. That said, chrome does not sync cookies, so this method only works as long as cookies don't get cleared (or computer replaced etc).

So it might be something else, given the implied age of the comments.

How Did Consciousness Evolve? An Illustrated Guide
> “The current inflation episode is just the kind of event that the fiscal theory of the price level can easily describe. It’s simple. The US government printed up about $3 trillion of money and sent people checks. It borrowed an additional $2 trillion of money and sent people more checks.” — John H. Cochrane, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University

What is this? It's not like inflation was in the market for an explanation. It's already pretty well understood. We literally have a giant gaping deficit in supply for three very obvious reasons, 1. the pandemic ramp down-up, 2. the war which took out a very large part of energy, grain and other essential commodities, 3. tight labor market ("Great Resignation" anyone?). If anything, this situation vindicates MMT and other theories because over decade of free money and varying debt had no impact yet inflation started as soon as we got a perfect storm of pandemic, war and tight labor market. It sure took a lot to cause a crisis if QE and the pandemic alone weren't enough, we had to add a war and a labor market so tight that it allowed for a renaissance in unions and the Great Resignation.

> That’s actually a little more troublesome because there was a big deficit. And that one did not send inflation up. Everything’s hard to read in real time, but we can at least point to a couple of things. First, that was an economy with depressed demand. Whether extra aggregate demand spills into inflation depends on how the economy is doing. So, in 2008, there was arguably room to stoke aggregate demand to increase output.

Hmm gee, it's almost like it's an independent variable and your hypothesis was falsified over a very long period of time. Also they ignored every other country? There's a huge variety in debt-to-GDB ratios globally[1], yet somehow everyone is experiencing the exact same rates of inflation... almost as if it was for some common material reasons.

I had always assumed that protection laws would be put in place by politicians before this became an issue. After all, it's the politicians who will suffer at the hands of everything-you-have-ever-done-on-the-internet reports beofore the rest of us. Maybe I was too naive.
If you hadn't just announced that the result returned by GPT-3 is your full name, nobody would have known for certain that it was correct.
You're changing the context of the argument, from "growing stuff people eat" to "growing stuff for grazing, because it makes no sense to grow crops there".

Yes, you can grow crops anywhere, on the moon, in shipping containers, in your basement, and yes on terraces and if you spare no expense to change the land.

But all of that is silly and absurd, and not part of the context of this discussion. Some of it just is not possible in any sane fashion.

Some of the land you think is just "move a few rocks and it's fine, like people used to do" is not even remotely accurate or true. We're talking about hilly, rocky land, with 1" of topsoil (Canadian Shield), with poor soil. This land is what you throw a goat or cattle at. It's not something you import billions of dollars of topsoil per 100 acres, to make usable.

I honestly don't get your argument here.
> It's the only plugin API that can actually guarantee sample-accuracy.

Nothing about VST3 guarantees sample accurate automation, next to no plugins implement it correctly, and users don't seem to care all that much about it.

It's actually hard to write the process loop correctly since VST3 doesn't hand you a list of events and sample offsets, it hands you a list of queues of events and sample offsets so you need to buffer internally and sort to avoid allocation in realtime.

In practice most plugins just dump all the parameter handling to the top of the process callback and ignore it. This is what JUCE does, for example.

A quick google suggest that you don't.
But most people do create fake identities when they're 13, "BigMan69" may trash talk on reddit for 5 years, but then as the person behind it gets older and wiser they can create a new account. AI may suspect your are the same person as "WizzenedOwl19" who started posting shortly after BigMan69 stopped, but it's another hurdle and another layer of plausible deniability
I am sorry for so many comments showing a lack of empathy, basically saying, "what do you expect and do better!". I think you are raising real concerns, these language models will get more and more sophisticated and will basically turn into all knowing oracles. Not just in who you are but what it thinks would be effective in manipulating you.
For me, my life began the morning after I graduated high school. The only people from before that I'm NOT in touch with but want to be are unfindable on Google because their names are too common. I know I probably could locate them with a little more time & money, but really, who cares?

What adulthood always promised, and delivered, was choice. I wouldn't have to be in situations and around people that I didn't want to be and around. Mostly.

I can't say about having kids, not having any. If you hate it, you're probably doing it wrong, or maybe the rewards are deeper and more spread out, and when you really think about it, you think "it was worth it."

> The asking of questions is often regarded as hostile by those whose worldview or self-interest is threatened by the reasonable responses those questions may elicit

Actually, it's a broader set of people. Most ordinary people don't like too many questions under ordinary circumstances. Every book on effective communications that I've read said that asking leading questions will trigger hostility and even if you're asking out of pure curiosity people will misinterpret them as leading questions. You have to develop the skill of signaling curiosity and asking in a manner that doesn't induce hostility.

In my lifetime I've been shouted at multiple times due to using the Socratic method. It would always take me by surprise - I was always asking in good faith. Only when I read these books did I realize that it wasn't the people who were flawed but the method.

There Are limited domains where it is effective - like between a teacher and a student or between two people engaging in rhetorical debate. But in most situations it's a bad idea.

I did nomad after I had a burnout after I landed what I thought is my dream job.

The one thing I learned most is that these people value their time. And with a relaxed mind and plenty of time come great ideas. Obviously most had luck or at least some business experience before they went nomad, but everyone had those small or big ideas and time to make them reality, and for a lot it just worked.

If you start looking closely you'll find them anywhere, people who by luck and dedicated work found _their_ way to survive in this society.
The examiner is definitely allowed to consider videos but it might not be easy to submit. Video subtitles/transcript, thumbnails, and comments would definitely count though. I would just print to PDF the YouTube video with the transcript sidebar, that should be enough info for the examiners to reject any overly broad claims.

> It amazes me the amount of engineers who can use a tool every day yet remain not the least bit curious to its basic internal operation.

And how many of them use word processors and/or spreadsheets and don't bother learning about the internal structures of file formats?

Have you ever examined the bitstream of gzip or the structure of tar, even if you downloaded source file in them? Do you know the structure of RPM and/or Deb packages (depending on your favourite distro)? Do you know the voltage pattern of the Ethernet signals that go down the cable (or waveform of the Wifi / LTE radio signal)?

There are only so many hours in the day, and not everyone wants to (or has the time) to go deep into every rabbit hole.
I don't even really think it was a mistake, it's just that it indirectly caused linux. Of course the Hurd being a Turd helped there, too.

> going to talk about the weather with strangers at a language exchange meetup.

Or bars and cafes. I'm an absolute hound of places where people loosen up and start talking. Social circles don't have to be planned and managed through an app. On any given evening I know I can go somewhere to talk about politics, or about family, or about local happenings, and I'll know 80% of the people there and meet 20% new ones. There's absolutely no guarantee of having a unique high level conversation, but those do happen and inch by inch that's how we get to know each other, agree and disagree, and move forward in this huge experiment called life. The utter oversimplification of the occasionally stupid aspects of human interaction into something that someone cannot engage with is something I don't accept. A hundred or more years ago it would be the recipe for "Notes from Underground" or "The Stranger" - a capacious look at what happens to man if he retreats from society into his own brain, builds his own ideas on nothing. I'm a fan of man vs. society. I'd never want to tell anyone to be a member of society. But there's a new, special kind of alienation that comes along with all this message board posting. It's getting to hate your own kind before you really know them. It's what causes castout kids to pick up assault rifles and disregard human life. It's too easy; it's a lazy kind of hate.
So yeah the kid's on the floor and spewing nonsense. It's our job, more or less, to pick him up and dust him off. It's hard to ignore because it's a real societal problem.
> without indexing into the code points to find their combining classes.

Did you mean without scanning the code points? There isn't a need to index them if you don't want them (and why would one ever wat them?)
Suburban infrastructure is much more costly per resident than urban infrastructure. However, we massively subsidize suburban infrastructure and restrict urban environments with zoning.

Really interesting perspective here, wanted to add. I am an engineer now, but studied developmental economics very briefly and there are lot of really interesting theories out there.

This “land distribution” point reminds me of a paper they claimed Spain fell behind other colonial powers like England and France because the resource they exploited was precious metals that allowed a few to get rich, but didn’t allow a middle class to grow.

Make me think of whether big tech does the same thing (if they can find a way to automate enough they can hire few people and few engineers)
Maybe not "poor" in the literal sense of the word, and certainly much less than they used to be, but also not really fully developed countries comparable to the Western nations.

Implementing automatic differentiation through C++ solvers or Python wrappers is going to be exceptionally difficult. If you want a generic toolbox like torch for scientific machine learning you would want every method under the sun.

That’s the moat Julia has here. A full rewrite of the differential equation ecosystem wasn’t necessary in order to support automatic differentiation.

Does anyone else hate the long tail? Most of the content I consume comes from the long tail. The content itself is interesting and great. I love it. However, consuming long tail content feels like another step along the path towards social isolation. Like I can never talk about or share the things I enjoy with others because the chance of them also having enjoyed these things is near-0. And of course, you can recommend your long tail content to others, but everyone is always recommending long tail content to each other. It's a bit much to keep up with. I feel somewhat envious of the days when, for instance, everyone in the country listened to The White Album or Dark Side of the Moon and could enjoy it together.
It's really easy to innocently slip into a culture of "new project? new service!" and at Uber's scale, that could easily hit 10k.

Wouldn't that be the applicant's fault rather than the patent office? The patent office reviews the application but is not responsible for its contents. They publish granted applications as a matter of course. But they cannot be omniscient about knowing when a bad application comes through; they can review to their greatest ability but will inevitably not always be right.
Yep, I agree. Parenting in modern world while not being wealthy just sounds terrible. It's one huge regression from how it was done before we started civilization, and especially since we started modern living (with atomic families, mass loneliness, rootlessness, jobs devoid of meaning, spending most of the day at the job instead of at the house, jobs so complex that your child can't understand them and can't learn them from you). Amenities and state help such as free kindergardens are just a drop in a bucket and will not help with falling reproduction rates in any meaningful way.

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't think this principle ceases to be true once a country gets rich, either--the more fundamental goods the people produce themselves with a focus on maximizing output (food, weapons, textiles, fuel, medicines) the better off the country will be, especially if the people own the land they work on.

In many western countries each of these industries has undergone massive monopolization, which in my opinion has driven not only wealth inequality but knowledge inequality--there are now many millions of people who couldn't actually set "the system" up if the oversight vanished because they don't have any real ownership of its components.
Adulthood for me was a blessing! Finally I got time (I do have much more free time since I started working than when I was studying), money (god bless software engineers salaries) and no stress whatsoever (I was very stressed in high school and university… now work comes so easy that it’s a breeze ). Why would someone not become an adult???
Everyone can cultivate Persistence instead of relying on "genius", whatever that word means to you. An article I found:

At least if the hang printer is acknowledged in this patent as prior art, but sufficiently different to justify this patent , isn't that basically tacit acknowledgement that hang printer would not be infringing on this patent?

Two hours of free uninterrupted time is actually pretty good. One can accomplish fairly significant things with that if they're disciplined and don't spend that time goofing off.

There are many types of suburbs in the US (and worldwide, of course).

I grew up partly in a suburb of New York. The towns around there date back 300 to 400 years, and feel like it. There are walkable town centers with coffee shops and train stations etc.

I also spent a few years in a suburb of Dallas. It was considerably newer, and wedged between a couple of highways. Everything depended on cars.

As I’ve moved around, I’ve seen lots of other points on the suburban spectrum. But for sure, the connotations of “suburb” are nearly uselessly vast.

I might be wrong, and from the number of comments, perhaps I am wrong.

However, my experience is that cost structures at FAANG, Microsoft, etc. are astronomical. In abstract, if the CEO decides to donate $500k and make a blog post, things can sometimes be relatively fast and easy.

In practice, usually one person spends a few weeks or months working to make a case for it, which bounces around the reporting channels, approvals, etc. Communication about it is approved through legal and marketing. Legal brings up issues about what to do if a maintainer is in Cuba and subject to Cuban embargoes, China and subject to Chinese taxes, or the Talysh-Mughan Autonomous Republic.

Median compensation is around $350k (and total cost close to double that). Basically anything external-facing like this usually ends up costing a lot by small business standards. $500k is 0.0003% of Microsoft's annual revenues, or on the order of magnitude of the annual cost of 1 employee (or 0.0006% of the organization). At a trillion-dollar scale, it kinda makes sense to have process. A mistake can wipe out single-digit percent of stock value overnight.

My experience, also, is that the process doesn't improve quality. It just prevents stupid shit from going out.
