Huh? Maybe for orchestral music or small house shows without a centralized PA. Any other concert is going to have the musicians mic'd or going line-in to the mixing board and then played in stereo through massive speaker stacks. At a concert with more than 1,000 people you're not hearing any of the onstage sound.

Thank you thehuttig, you are very kind.

As I was posting (the initial, original post), I was actually a bit concerned about "you are saying that publications from the UK and USA already often feel a bit cheap in their make, and you are noting that the article's author indicates a book crisis but heavily remains in the "entertainment" area: that is probably not the most insightful of posts" (it was meant to be an initial kernel for possible further development), and instead there has been an uproar about the style. Oh well.

> It is difficult being a deep thinker manytimes

I would not regard myself as a particularly «deep thinker» - I could not measure and rank that, the level is that which it is - though I have a mandate to that for academic and other reasons, but I am seeing strange directions, exacerbated by social networks, involving people claiming rights to judge through basic emotional reactions, and dismissals of whatever is not immediately digestible (and more). That "everything" requires an effort was a basic tenet, in a past society.
I'm interested to know how the study determined that Black users were ignored specifically for being Black. In my experience, the default behavior for getting a message from someone you're not interested in -- for whatever reason that is -- is just to ignore them.

Having said that, racism on these apps is rampant, as is outright racial fetishism (which this study considers the same thing). Even as someone who isn't a racial minority, I always found those kinds of remarks (both kinds) to be a major turn off.
I wouldn't worry about powering the cell tower itself, but more about the backhaul infrastructure that it relies on. In cities it relies on fiber that's often leased from various providers and terminates at datacenters where it shares switching equipment with a lot of other customers of the provider & datacenter, so power can't effectively be segregated. If that datacenter can't be kept powered (and that will require a lot of power), it doesn't matter whether the tower itself remains powered.
This stuff in truth is very hard.

I don't think modern movies are stuck in a "low risk reboot loop" because of the cost to produce, it's because of the potential profit.

Why spend money on a film with new IP and ideas that you're not sure will be popular when the data science team has already worked with marketing to figure out exactly what movie will sell well?

Good luck finding your movie with compelling and thought provoking writing in the big pile of movies produced by comittee to show up above yours in discovery algorithms.
Are you kidding me? Most people I know complain how live music sounds worse than the recordings they're used to listening to, and this has been true for decades! I don't know anyone, and I'm a musician, who goes to live music because they think the music sounds better. No one.

What people do enjoy is the entertainment and seeing improvisational playing or flourishes added to their favorite songs. Plus much has been written about people enjoying the community aspect of live music: people enjoy being together sharing an experience with an artist they all enjoy. They don't go because the music sounds better and no matter what you do you can't bring the experience of being with others to you sitting alone in your living room.

This tech went from nothing to beating a human artist in an art competition in a few years, and yet you say "I don't think it will improve much". So, I disagree.
This is why I wish this thread hadn't gone more mainstream.

It's nuanced and specific to how things work for researchers at labs.

I do not expect non-HPC folks to get why it is a big deal and why the strong language was needed. Intel failed the science community in the U.S. that relies on the limited systems large enough to handle the very few applications that consume massive numbers of cores/parallelism. That's not the whole of science, but this system was central to some of the grandest-scale problem solving that exists (think planet-scale climate simulations in high resolution).

I respect your opinion but my opinion wasn't for you. It was for the HPC comm.
Right and wrong.

It's not over for traditional moving-making. It would be decades before the software and hardware could surpass. But it will improve tremendously, just like computers do for nearly everything.
2 TFlops or 5 TFlops does not matter much. 3090Ti does 160 TFlops, e.g. at least 30x (!) times faster.
Indeed, not particularly, but they will just lose power together with the buildings around them.
Lots of people here seem to echo the idea that there is a way to prioritize cellular towers. That's up to whoever runs then. The power goes off for everyone in the area. They need to have enough batteries and generator capacity. Many sites have no generators and battery capacity will vary. Some carriers try to have a week or two of battery capacity but that isn't practical at small sites. When power starts going off, the towers will be prioritized through alternate power sources maintained by the carriers or their contractors.
OK this is a bombastic paper by design, but if falls short on a few things, least of which is conflating "study of history" with "historiography".

Worst of all, he completely misses Gadamer's comment regarding the epistemic fruitlessness of philosophizing at all (and not just of studying past philosophers), so in a sense Sauer unwittingly rehashes and expands upon only a partial aspect of that.

But he does express a "popular sentiment", which students of history (and the history of philosophy) will readily discover in any sub-era of modernity (including pomo'ity), but those who turn their backs to history will think it's all new and all of our own devising: namely that "We Know Better".

It's the cultural switch: before modernity we considered "the ancients" as unerring sources of truth, after modernity we started seeing through the cracks.

All too quick to note how pyramids and parthenons have cracks in them after standing for millennia, but wholly unable to produce something even equally sturdy, if not better.

PS: Ah, and by "modernity" I'm referring to the history of this side of the Enlightenment. E.g. I consider Casaubon's 1614 overturning of the presumed antiquity of the Corpus Hermeticum as part of modernity. (But doesn't everyone?)

According to the "quick bulletin" on the bottom, this seems to be a downstream effect of a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that occurred. I suppose that will generally be the case for a tsunami, something usually drives it. In this case, it appears they're assigning 0 deaths (or stats) to the tsunami, but 2 deaths for the "total effects."
But Java has a solution for the “good static methods” you’ve described in the Function interface. I’d submit that a FooLib class with these static methods could be replaced with a foo.lib package with the corresponding Function implementations. This allows great flexibility with unit testing because you don’t even need a mocking framework. Instead, you just provide a dummy implementation of the Function the unit under test depends on.

In fact, dependence on mocking frameworks is a huge code smell because it covers over the common practice of not coding to an interface. If you want to expose poor design in a code base, remove the mocking decencies and see how hard it is to rewrite the tests.
It's an interesting thought experiment. The move between messaging apps was always free to free and there was some specific niche innovation there, some twist of the mode of experience, whether it's moving from text to images or video or just a far more seamless experience, privacy, etc. There was some hook.

With email I guess there's a few angles to play. Personally I feel like email on the web has gotten slow but paying for something isn't the path to a better experience. The other part is that if email is so core to identity, why aren't services baked into that email client experience.
No, the ideal world is where everyone gets everything at no cost. That’s basically utopia. The only difference is we can’t make it happen yet.
I am firmly planted in the Nordic coffee tradition (living in Scandinavia) but the most over the top place to appreciate coffee was in Substance Cafe in Paris. It's like a japanese ramen bar but instead of pots in the middle there's kettles and a menu of coffees they have on offer.

Sounds good because it seems like it explains what our reality is, but it really doesn't. It just pushes the fundamental problem up X simulations into the supposed "real reality". It also assumes that simply simulating a universe would generate consciouss beings which nobody knows the answer to, but my guess is that it would not.
It's definitely possible to give better school lunches out. There sort of a general school funding issue too which is frustrating to hear about so often.
I personally don't think there are any good arguments against it, but here are a few I can easily imagine hearing on Fox News:

- These types of issues should be handled by charities (by which they typically mean churches) not the government

- We already have food stamps, etc
You mean the public key? The private key is what's used to sign tokens, the public key is used to verify the signature and can be freely shared. Or maybe you mean they used a symmetric key and shared that?
> Free school meals for all kids could simplify a lot of things.

A universal benefit guarantees 100% utilization. If you put in bureaucracy and/or a token payment, people will fail to navigate it (and downstream bureaucracies with their own budgets can make it more difficult to navigate), so like magic the program becomes a lot cheaper (by leaving children hungry.)

Ecosystem is still worse, which is IMO all that matters at this point.

ts-node is good enough to stick to Node for now if you want TypeScript. I don't think the rest of Deno is that compelling, although I would probably switch to Deno once its Node compat is awesome since it is a more compelete package out of the box than Node is.

Deno's battle is that it is an incremental improvement, and competing JS runtimes is quickly become the new JS web framework meme alternative (Bun, Boa, Node, Deno)

The ide is actually decent. Or was in the Qt 4 days. The rest... as the OP in this thread says, the only thing we're using Qt for is something something automotive (and paid).

> the capital risk wasn't yours so much.

You asked "Who takes more risks" not who put more capital at risk. Founders I have known had plenty of capital and risking some of it on startups wasn't nearly as risky to their life as it was for many of their employees for whom this was their only roll of the dice and had no savings.

> 6. Which brings more value to a community, a person who works in an office doing menial admin work for 5 years, or a person who spends 5 years founding a new company that provides medical services to the community, employs 100 people, and produces tax receipts (direct and indirect) of 1000x the person who works in an office doing menial admin work?

I love the way you completely passed over whether or not the founder does any work at all beyond providing the capital. Plenty of founders work hard, but plenty more bring connections and capital and are otherwise a productivity drain.

So again, as before, it depends on the productive work being done by that person. And they shouldn't get to take the credit for the taxes paid by their employees or the profits earned by everyone in the company. That's a shared achievement.

And why define a person just by what they do in their job? The person doing menial admin work could be doing all sorts of other amazing voluntary work that eclipses anything the founder provides in value.

> You don't have to hate or dislike people for creating value — creating jobs and providing services is crucial to the economies around the world.

And yet it's ideologically orthodox to hate governments for doing exactly these things.

> There seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to such a question of "well the office worker has value too", yes, nobody is saying people are value-less, but there is an objective reality that some people produce more value than others.

That is true enough.

> Ultimately, my purposefully crafted questions lead up to one thing: some people deserve to be paid more than others.

Even if it was true that people are paid according to the value they produce (they are not) it does not follow that they deserve to be.

Take a doctor who delivers immense value to their patients. They can only do so thanks to the hospital they work in, thanks to the education they received and the equipment they have access to.

Or consider a founder who starts a company benefitting from the concentration of talent created by a university doing world class research and attracting the best students.

What people deserve to be paid is a social question. When we choose to pay San Francisco founders millions and let thousands of people be homeless, that's a social choice about our shared values.
Giving money to parents doesn't necessarily fix the problem of hungry children (this is not a slight to minimum income policies generally; I think all adults should be guaranteed a minimum quality of life regardless of if they've "earned" it, but I understand this is a much larger lift politically and will not necessarily fix everything). I want to fix the problem to hungry children directly by feeding them regardless of the parents capacity to feed them from their own wealth.

> If it claims "My account number is 435" then that's the account number.

This works only for immutable claims. If the truth behind those claims changes in the mean time, you have to be able to invalidate the token, or accept the fact that it serves stale information.
I'll add that a lot of conservatives would like to see more alternative schooling options, including grants to parents in lieu of direct funds to public schools. In those situations "school lunch" is just lunch.
Nothing. Unless asked, then only maybe something, but probably still nothing.

Because if you are concerned about offending management, then the existing relationship is not about candor.

Also, your idea about failure is probably not their idea about failure.

Because if it was, management would already have recognized the failure you see.

Finally, it may be that your definition of failure is not applicable to the business...this is pretty common.

So the best thing to do for yourself is to figure out why management doesn't see things the way you do (and don't use a cop out like "they're stupid/greedy/incompetent").

Good luck.

I've been looking into some of the 3D model generators this past week, and there is some work happening in that field. See the following non-exhaustive list:

Sure, this is a simple example -- and you are right, if you are just writing a few selects, you may not find any value.

ORMs (or query-builders, as some like to draw a distinction there) become more valuable as you use them to compose and transform queries. SQL is decidedly not composable.
"it is a more compelete package out of the box than Node"

How come?
I haven't switched yet, but I would say everything is better except package availability. For example, there is no package to connect to an SQL Server database.

Node/NPM compatibility is experimental, as it improves, this lack of Deno native packages should become less of an issue.

The spectrum between yaay everything is amazing and the dollar system collapses is ... pretty big.

"U.S. interest costs won’t rise catastrophically in the short term, and there’s not really a reason to expect interest rates to stay high for decades. Furthermore, inflation will itself erode some of the national debt, reducing long-term interest costs relative to GDP."

"Right now, interest payments haven’t even begun to rise as a percent of tax revenue, and one big reason is inflation. Interest rates are set in dollar amounts, and inflation increases the number of dollars in the economy, meaning that tax revenues increase in dollar terms as well."
