i think a part if Live's popularity stems from its image as "the DAW for serious producers". Might have something to do with it being pushed at universities as well/or tech colleges which teach audio. So - it's somewhat engrained as the DAW that's used for electronic production. And Protools as what's used for audio recording. I think it's most intuitive to use as a DJ mixing tool. I've never more easily created mixes with blends than i have in Live. This is where it started i guess (as Henke/Monolakes live set software as a MaxMSP patch) - so it makes sense it's most intuitive there (in my opinion)
The Internet has magical lands of anarchy like the dark web, but the fact that the security and anonymity are fairly symmetrical adds a layer of protection for the one visiting these lands. There's also an awareness that the information in these regions is even less trustworthy than random stuff from the clearnet since you know literally nothing about it.

But the support email didn't say it was a violation of the ToS because it is primarily used by non webpage applications (the ToS does say APIs may be allowed, but doesn't have specific details on when afaict), it says it is a violation because it is a txt file, and there is a txt couldn't be a part of a website. And in fact robots.txt and security.txt are standard and common txt files serves as part of websites. In the case if robots.txt it also is primarily consumed by web crawlers, not for actually rendering web pages. Does that mean robots.txt violates the ToS too?
It's a common misconception because of crappy media that that alone is how to determine a recession. There was a good Planer Money on it a month or so ago. Either way the goal right now IS a recession. That's why interest rates are up but despite this we keep buying shit we don't need.
I completely understand what you're saying.

I'm sort of reminded of how the US government is the worst (except for all the rest), when having an absolute ruler should be so MUCH more efficient. Problems would be fixed by fiat.

Or maybe, why does lisp persist with its horrible user-unfriendly syntax?

I guess we will just have to invent it. (and you should do your part by reminding people with examples of old systems that elegantly solved the papercuts of today)

> should we tweak Newton's laws of physics?

But you can't tweak Newton's laws, because we know Newton's laws aren't the right laws of gravity. The laws of General Relativity make better predictions. So what you would have to tweak would be the laws of GR.

And the basic problem with doing that is that you can't just tweak a single parameter in GR to get the kind of modified behavior that MOND does with Newtonian dynamics. In GR, there simply isn't any such free parameter to tweak. You have to adjust the whole theory. And any such adjustment ends up looking just like dark matter: you have to invent new fields or new forms of stress-energy that we have no other evidence for. And that destroys the whole point of MOND, which was to just modify the laws of gravity without changing our assumptions about what matter and energy is present in the universe. If you're going to have to add new forms of matter and energy anyway, why not just stick to that and keep the laws of gravity the same? That's what the dark matter hypothesis amounts to, and why it's actually the simpler hypothesis once GR is taken into account.

He’s probably in hiding not detained. We don’t disappear people here.

FBI and other unspecified agencies raided his apartment, claim to have found sensitive documents on a computer, he wasn’t seen being arrested. Hasn’t been seen since, but his lawyer implies he’s been in contact.

FBI isn’t commenting because active investigation. He’ll probably finish his story, drop it for publishing and surface in a few months. It’ll be big and juicy, momentarily embarrassing for the government, but honestly there have been a dozen “embarrassing” exposes and the government abides.
To put your comment into the 'bigger picture', as I see it at least: if I can assume that by efficiency, you mean the rate of verbal exchange of information, then I would argue that this is often not the sole function of a conversation; for example, building rapport is often an indirect but desirable outcome. There are no doubt other outcomes and that they vary wildly by context. Though to stick with rapport: pursuing near-optimal information exchange through interruptions may (and for anti-interrupt people, probably will) come at the hefty cost of rapport which may effect future conversations.

This is a super interesting topic and also cool because everyone has a slightly different take. I had not really considered that people who interrupt may do so because they actually like it and think it's beneficial. I just (probably prematurely) assumed it was a bit of a personal flaw based on how it made me feel.

Yes, there is. The rule means that nothing can be forced onto any nation.

Many people, and nations, would be hesitant to join a union where you can be coerced to tolerate neighbors you otherwise wouldn't. Hence the idea of consensus.
> That you're a bunch of subhumans generally unqualified for anything but menial labor

That seems more like a moral conclusion than a scientific one. Sure, maybe scientific evidence can fuel discrimination, but at least it gives us something over which we can have an intelligent conversation. It bounds a discussion that nowadays encounters no resistance or counterarguments in certain groups. And there will always be a group of people genetically smarter, more athletic, good looking than yours. So it doesn't take much thinking to reach the conclusion that we are all in this together.
It's understandable to me that the scientific would object to conclusions drawn from flawed datasets and intentionally poor methodology.
Indeed, I couldn't edit my comment.
Psychiatry & neuroscience today are some of the closest equivalents to physicians applying leeches in the 16th century.

Through no fault of their own.

We, simply, have legitimately very little knowledge of those fields of science. Our understanding of the human brain is just not there.

So much of Psychiatry is throwing pills at symptoms after talking about your life.

That's often the state of the art in the field.

Genetic sequencing, and the ability to use genetic markers to diagnose illness, hopefully will change things. A cheap and effective diagnostic tool that isn't based on guesswork and "tell me your life story."
Why should a company that provides no differentiated value have much of net margin (after paying for the cost of capital, in the form of debt payments which are included in company expenses)?

Kroger et. al provide no unique value - they don't have any intellectual property, they have almost zero human capital because they treat their workers terribly and have low retention. They do some stuff with their private labels but that's really it. What grocery stores doing that commands more than a 1 or 2% margin on a huge segment of the economy? If they're earning more than that it is probably and indication that they are ripping off the consumer, ripping off the worker, or both.
I suppose that's true. Nevertheless it's generally accurate and simply telling a foreigner to read the code of every single jurisdiction you pass through is not practical. Any jurisdiction where a bicycle has privileged right of way over a car on a regular public road is by far the exception in America, and a one hour bike ride can easily go through several novel jurisdictions. If a frenchman were to tell me the rules for right of way in bicycles in France I would not consider him wrong if there were some town in French Guiana where the rules are different (despite it being part of France).
> draco, fornax, and Andromeda have wildly different dark matter densities so that's three parameters right there.

No, it isn't. The distribution of stress-energy is a single free parameter in GR; there is no law in the theory that says the density of any particular kind of stress-energy has to be the same in different galaxies. So adjusting the distribution of stress-energy to match the observed behavior in different galaxies does not require adding a new parameter for each galaxy; it only requires adjusting the single parameter that already exists, in different regions of spacetime.
If the government doesn't provide some measure of retributive justice, people will seek it themselves, and that is much worse for society.

355/113 is the 4th continued fraction of pi, its 4th best approximation. Transcendent numbers have an interesting property: they are the best approximated by rational numbers, they are the closest to them in a sense; unlike some irrational numbers, such as phi, that are really hard to approximate.

There is a curious hypothesis that the world arranges itself by the continued fraction powers of number e, to avoid destructive resonances that would occur if a rational number was used. In other words, the reason period of electron motion or a planet motion is so close to e^(p/q) because that number is very close to a rational fraction, but isn't rational.
Have you heard about the (possible) Azolla Event? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event

I bought some to grow in an unused tub in my yard until I figure out what to do with it. Not exactly a major CO2 vacuum, but I like the idea. I've wondered if there's something to using such plants as a way to reduce CO2 emissions from various plants. What to do with the plants is not clear since sequestration is the important part.

Here is a lab working on something like what you described. https://www.azollahs.com/research
I haven't forgotten that but I still respect their effort here. I think we really need a good app to write code on mobile devices so that they aren't merely consumer devices.

This Replit app seems to be well polished but I don't like that it needs an account. I opened the app and the first thing I saw was a sign up screen. I expected to see a programming language picker or text editor.
I've noticed the same thing. In in-person conversation, I'm usually slow on the draw when it's time for the next person to speak, and if I'm with interrupters, they almost always beat me to it. But in video calls, the extra round trip of lag gives me just enough quiet to signal that it's my turn to talk, so I don't get shut out quite as much. Even if someone else is quicker on the draw, I've already started talking, so I don't just instinctively shut up when I hear another person going first.
Self-improvement takes change and effort. It requires an investment of energy larger than the one required to overcome life's usual busyness. If you really want to write a novel, you will write it, even if you have to burn sleep to do it, even if you have to get it done by spending your days daydreaming about the plot and your evenings furiously typing. Plenty of works of art were created in this way. If you really want to learn a new skill, you will learn it -- perhaps not as well as if you could focus on it, but bits and pieces here and there, a podcast on a drive, a few rounds of practice over lunch. Plenty of people have mastered life-changing skills while holding down the proverbial two jobs with three kids.

It is possible to be so busy that this is really what holds you back. But very few life situations outside of the gulags are really so grueling that work is really able to squeeze your free capacity down to nothing. It is like wanting to go to space, and being intimidated by having to drive over a hill. It is possible for a very high hill to be a practical problem, but if an ordinary one looks insurmountable to you, you very likely never had the energy to go to space.

That's not to say you never need to quit a job to give an extraordinary venture your full attention. It's more to say that if you are doing nothing right now, if you tell yourself work is the problem, work almost certainly isn't the problem. If you have the drive to do something once you have more free time, you'd be doing something with your free time right now. You wouldn't be able to not. Don't wait; start now. Can't? There's your problem.

I have noticed, with myself, this scales right down to tasks that literally take one minute to do, like loading the dishwasher. If my energy is high, I do it almost without thinking, while I'm waiting for water to boil, while I'm thawing hamburger. No big deal. If my energy is low, I don't do it at all, and I spend those same minutes staring at the floor. I tell myself I don't take care of the house because I don't have time, but as a lot of people found out during COVID, that was never the problem. I didn't have the drive. Free time turns out to matter, once I get going and want to do big things. But it matters little if I can't do little things that take no time.

Totally agree. Not many forms of communication require as much careful decision making as coding. You can do it fast or you can do it right.

Getting priorities straight is a matter of competence, not culture.

If you've ever wondered why people scoff at the term "software engineer", this is one potential answer.
More like "why do transcendent numbers have so awesome continued fractions?"
You are right, we shouldn’t focus on whether or not someone is a parent. We should focus on whether they can effectively do their work.

I would react similarly if somebody was playing a video game during a meeting.
Are there any modern technologies in 2022 that take this approach? I well remember magic quotes (yes it was a WTF) but that's been turned off for ages.
knaekhoved your comment is dead which I think is unfortunate because it seems better to inform you than bury your comment so I'll reply here: the page did mean N -> N, given the context of the previous paragraph. You may have thought what you did if you did not know that Card(N)^Card(N) is equal to 2^Card(N) by the laws of arithmetic for cardinal numbers. If you have not encountered those before there are enough on Wikipedia to show that equality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_number#Cardinal_arith....

If you can make a predictable profit per car on scale, you can likely find somebody to finance the cars.
Agree, the SOM + Carrier board is the only thing that makes sense unless you are doing some large scale production making a million high end boards. The SOM's have suddenly made it possible for small scale or even independent bedroom projects to make use of high-end SoCs! KR260 / KV260 are both great boards.
> Ah I think I might see what you're getting at here.

Yep! And it’s what the article was getting at too. I probably wouldn’t have been able to articulate it as well without that.

> I think we are talking about two different things.

I could go into the details of the rest of what you said here, but I’m going to yield because we’ve both perfectly demonstrated one another’s points without either intending to do so. :)
It’s not really a counterpoint when every place is fucked. I’m saying this from region that did the last mega engineering project in the US (the big dig) and that was even 20 years ago. We are one of the best areas for approving infrastructure projects and we still don’t approve enough to support the areas needs.

It is a national problem

Sounds like you want a book that would typically be titled "Design of Experiments" or "Experiment Design" or something similar. There are tons of them on the market[1][2][3][4], probably any mainstream one used for a university course on the subject would be adequate.

> The simple continued fraction for pi is given by [3; 7, 15, 1, 292, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 14, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, ...] (OEIS A001203).

You can see how the terms in the sequence jump from 1 to 292.

I'm not sure why simple continued fractions are not mentioned here when other continued fractions are not, seems like the author got within a hairs breadth of discovering this connection. I'm not going to say "explanation" because it doesn't explain things, it just connects it to something else.

This isn't really a way that you would calculate pi, but you could compare it with, for example, the continued fraction for e:

[2; 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 6, ...]

and notice that there is no large numbers here... so there is no fraction for e that is suddenly "very good". Same with sqrt 2 (repeating 2s), same with golden ratio (repeating 1s). In a sense, it's the fact that pi DOESN'T have a neat continued fraction which gives it that nice fractional representation. In a sense, discovering a connection just gives you another question to ask. "Okay, why isn't there a neat little formula for calculating pi as a continued fraction?"
The Euler -> Lagrange link is sort of dodgy, though. Lagrange was an autodidact. What he got from Euler was Euler's position at court, not a doctorate, though they did collaborate on some research before that.
Is there a similar app that does this?
> That seems more like a moral conclusion than a scientific one.

That distinction doesn't change anything. Even if you can keep that sort of language out of even the preprints, you'll have politicians citing the studies and making those statements themselves.

It boils down to this: if you tell people you're collecting data to help them, then you can't allow that data to harm them.

I also don't mind deviations. I've read the Silmarillion, but it wasn't the easiest read and I don't recall it that well.

However, I'd put more weight on the bad things here. The writing, story, dialog, characterisation, consistency of character. They're all really bad. It stops you getting drawn into the world because it's not believable. The characters don't seem to do things because that's what they'd do, they do things because the story needs them to do it for the next thing to happen.

The CG, effects and all that, these get all the attention but aren't typically why people come back to a show. I don't want to watch a third rate drama dressed up.
I see what you're saying, but also think it misses the point of where this is all going. An IPhone 12 is an enormously powerful computer, but it's not at all one that is accessibly programmable to Repl.it devs. Similarly, it's possible to run 30k sentiment analysis examples in a minute on a IPhone, but actually doing so would take a skilled dev weeks to implement (because it's not designed to do that!).

Our computer systems have got ludicrously more powerful, and software development has in a sense become ludicrously more inefficient, but computing is a wonderful culture of abundance and _easy and fast enough_ almost always wins over _difficult, faster, and efficient_.
The academia is far more diverse than people think. More diverse between countries, between universities, between disciplines, and over time.

Having a junior and a senior advisor is fairly common. Sometimes the work is done in multiple institutions, with a separate advisor in each. In some systems, most people who supervise students are not formally qualified to do so, creating a need for a separate formal supervisor. Sometimes there are two equal advisors, and sometimes the advisor changes for various reasons. Sometimes the student is an independent scholar and the advisors are only loosely involved in the work. If you only have written records, it can be impossible to tell which of these was the case for a particular student.
I thought this was going to be about promises, await/async, callbacks, stacks and blocking.
I don’t think anyone is impressed by how easy it is to store the symbolic representation of the fraction versus the symbolic representation of the first n digits of pi, or suggesting that it’s a useful way for humans to memorize or calculate pi. What’s notable is simply how close the fraction approximates the irrational number pi given how low the fraction’s denominator is.
