i'm a musician, i enjoy and also sometimes play noise music. your comment is exactly correct. noise as music is totally preposterous.
a large part of what i enjoy about noise are thoughtful, hilarious critiques like yours.

here are some plausible entry points to this bizarre non-genre. any number of these could be interesting to consider:

- the opposite of a thing is often part of the thing. think about of how a good illustrator is super conscious of negative space. is noise the opposite of music?

- every musical note contains a series of overtones. ask a string player to demonstrate "harmonics" if you're unfamiliar with the concept. i couldn't really hear them until i learned how to listen for them. it's possible the knife-guitar player was doing something with overtones. it's also possible that the people nodding along spend a lot of time playing amplified music, and have suffered hearing loss that changes the threshold at which they can comfortably perceive the overtone series. (or they could've just been entirely deaf)

- some people are interested in asking the question "what even IS 'music,' anyway?"
noise music is a flippant answer to this question. But it's an answer nonetheless.

- "what even IS 'a performance,' anyway?"

- if you're a driver, it could be important to get a feel for your vehicle by doing things like flooring it and slamming on the breaks. if you're a painter, it could be beneficial to get to know your paint by making a big goopy pile of it somewhere. if you're a musician?

- knife guy almost certainly didn't start out immediately loving unlistenable noise. he probably was exposed via a gateway drug like ambient music, and built up a tolerance over time. same way i learned to love "spicy mustard."

- it's all just a big scam, but if you want in on it you have to pretend to be into it. maybe it's a scam we can live with. musicians don't really make much money anymore.

- human beings are fucking weird. we tend to like things just because we're familiar with them. the fact that people enjoy noise is a hilarious example. you might enjoy learning a couple of the big noise names (merzbow is a good one, lou reed metal machine music is a classic) and continuing to dunk on noise fans because it's funny and we deserve it.
Here’s an idea: tax the rich and pay off our debt. Don’t tax ppl and spend the money right away. Maybe stop trying to do the same things that have been clearly failing for decades. Throwing money at random problems in hopes it will solve them hasn’t worked and probably never will.

> Perhaps it should be; everyone can be the best at something. You have to find your something.

This implies there are at least 8 billion “things to be good at” which I don’t think is necessarily true. I suspect most people are not the best at anything.
That does look pretty awesome - wouldn't it hurt the performance tho? Especially with the DB Example, a database usually needs to be fast.
The user I was responding to didn't make that distinction.

As far as your question, I've spent enough time with corporate legal to know many of these protections are industry driven to scaffold up a legal framework to protect themselves.

That's what "self regulation" actually looks like in material reality. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what was done here.

It's producer protection - doing say $100mil in sales on a legally grey product makes attorneys nervous
> These are the words of a young person who was trained to see everyone else's success as an implicit criticism of their own ability and effort. It is not the author's fault. A mentally healthy person, when shown a display of excellence, is impressed, energized, and motivated.

I don't think that's universally accurate. While this is something I have observed living in the US, growing up in Germany was a completely different story: The people in small town Northern Germany went so far as to criticize and attack you for your achievements that far surpassed what they have accomplished. It appears to make them feel jealous and threatened, which in their view is best dealt with by making you less threatening instead of feeling inspired themselves.
I guess that depends on what your goal with hand writing is. My handwriting is horrible too (no idea if to your degree), it's basically my personal cipher by now. My wife can read it, sometimes. But that's basically it. And my attitude is "so what, I write those notes for myself and I can read them just fine". No idea if this helps.
Since you seem to have much more experience in developing games, I'll take most of your word here.

Though from my four years of experience in Unity (albeit at a non-professional level), I was always fighting with the engine when trying to build new things. Trying to build complex UI code using Unity's built-in system was a mess, the serialization system always had weird errors and didn't really work well with version control, adding custom rendering to the rendering engine was full of hacks, and the documentation was quite poor for the more obscure/hidden aspects of the engine up to the point that I was thinking "I can just write these in C++/OpenGL, why do I have to go through all of this crap?". Nowadays I do gamedev at a lesser capacity (and doing more general graphics programming in C++ instead), and since several years ago I haven't really looked too deeply into the engine. I think doing all of these in Unity isn't impossible, just that I'm expecting a lot of friction while doing it.

There always seems to be some really good indie developers who are stretching Unity to its limits though (such as Manifold Garden). I always wondered how much they were fighting with the engine to make some specific features.
Only time will tell.

But I think there is an opportunity at this point in time.

Famous example: Ragnar Granit studied color vision in the cat for 10 years. It turned out cats are colorblind. He carried on and later was awarded the Nobel Prize for related research.
There are so many instances of people feeling they are doing well when the objective measure reveals that they are not. The Dunning Kruger effect became a meme because people are so bad at objectively measuring their own performance.

It is philosophical whether feeling you are doing good is more important than actually doing well, but for a metrics based study like the one this thread is based around I want objective measurements.
Functional programming can be attempted in any language that offers higher-order functions that can close over free variables. In other words, languages isomorphic to untyped lambda calculus with additions. Python, Perl, JavaScript, and Go all qualify.

However, it seems to be generally accepted that you're really only doing baby FP unless you also program with types. Types, and the algebras that can be imposed over them, are where the really interesting FP work is done that yields new control structures (of which monads are just one), that are difficult and cumbersome to express in untyped LC, or in a dynamic programming language.

None of that is even remotely plausible. You're just making things up with zero basis in actual science. Essentially you are making a religious argument. There's nothing wrong with religion per se, but don't expect the rest of us to take action based on your personal faith or irrational fears.

Naturally this required the "Access your data for all web sites" permission -- most powerful/useful extensions need this permission. But I've been pretty conservative in adding extensions with it (as in, just two, including the obligatory UBO).

Why isn't there a permission where the add-on doesn't get to access anything until I activate it for a specific tab, and then it only gets to access to that specific tab? Unclutter would be most useful on websites where I'm not particularly worried about misuse, but I don't want it to be able to read my emails.

This is not meant as a dig at this add-on or its author, I have no reason to believe he's not trustworthy, I think it's a limitation of the add-on permission model.
I would say in general you’re able to automate most things using the ticket system for production and work priorities. Unless you’re really trying to min/max, you don’t really need to micromanage. Military action is generally very manual though (for your pawns anyway, you can automate smaller military problems with turrets).

Just buy some handwriting workbooks and complete them. And then keep practicing, a lot. It might be slow going for a bit, you're trying to change something you've been doing for over 20 years now the same way, it'll take time.

"This disappointment would incite me to take action, but after a few days of hard work, I would just quit."

Extraordinary people usually aren't like that. They have this strange ability to be "always on". So why can't the rest of us be like that?

Some people can just focus. Eight hours in the office, tune out all other distractions, head down, work effectively and well. But that's merely very good, not extraordinary.

So how can you be "always on"? By having an overriding passion that makes you want to be. For some people this is just material success. Laser focused on the most profitable career. Is that what you want? Badly enough? Others really want to do, say, theoretical physics. Either it's inherently satisfying, or they want to pursue a particular research goal. Whatever the overriding goal, it's the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about before you fall asleep.

But is that what you want? In your 40s or 50s, ignored life's other pleasures, maybe never had a family, or haven't spent enough time with them, can't remember the last time you really relaxed, but boy, you've accomplished extraordinary things?

Anyway early middle age will probably take care of it. Where you take stock of who you actually are, rather than who you thought you should be. And then make the best of that.
I sometimes wonder if people have become more resistant to critique or if uninvited critique has become more common. But early twentieth century books like How to Win Friends and Influence People emphasise that people respond well to positive reinforcement, which makes me suspect that people have long given unsolicited criticism and long been annoyed by it.

If covered by warranty, yes.
Check out this concept called "Bullet Journaling" (lots of YouTube videos on it). That, with a dot grid notebook, could do wonders for keeping your notes organized.

But for the writing itself, look into "calligraphy basics" - doesn't mean you have to write every letter in a fancy way, but the mere exercise of practicing it will at least build better habits for letter height (which makes everything more legible).

Lastly, I recommend switching to a fountain pen (yes). I don't know what it is - but I just care a bit more when writing with one. There are cheap ones (Pilot Kakuno Fine), no need to get fancy.

Can this be compared to something like αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε [1], that makes a single executable run on Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD?

While wasmer seems to support more source languages, it requires running the executable under a WASM virtual machine. Are there other important differences?

This looks nice! Which library are you using for rendering the node based UI? Or is it a custom solution? (just added benthos here: https://github.com/wbkd/awesome-node-based-uis)
Yes: NFTs

Less than a year ago NFTs had about as many daily transactions. Since then volume is down 97%+ and prices have collapsed, well on their way to the correct value of $0.

IMO bitcoin will go the same way. The market is just more entrenched in bitcoin mania so it's happening more slowly.

I never encountered the mentality described in the article during my physics PhD, either. Though it was stressful at the time, having committee members who were known for asking tough questions was invaluable as a motivator to learn more about underlying theory. It's of course very important that the process be conducted respectfully and constructively, and I had the fortune of being in a department with a healthy culture in that regard.

All the people I know who were not so fortunate experienced unduly harsh, personalized, and non-constructive criticism. I'm not sure whether or not that's worse than never being critical, but they are kind of equivalent in that they create barriers to students engaging with the science.

What is described in the article is not at all ubiquitous as some commenters are implying, and afaik is essentially unknown in the hard sciences and math.
Cool. That’s irrelevant since you accused the OP of the slippery slope fallacy. That accusation, and the stating that all slippery slopes need extreme proof, is known as “the slippery slope fallacy” fallacy
That isn't true, the only version of "ltsc" without the crap was ltsb 2016, after that it's closer to retail (or standard enterprise which has all of the same shit) and with the most recent version it's basically pro with a different name, presumably because people were using it for this when they aren't licensed to and the devices ltsc is designed for are likely older and/or have vendor supported drivers etc that don't require new versions and frameworks.

Unfortunately unless you have old hardware (on which win7 would be fine) then you can't run older ltsc/b anymore as they don't support dch etc.

Case in point: my Ryzen laptop requires new uwp for the realtek audio because apparently signalling input change on headset detection is hard, it won't detect headset and the only way to change from headphones to headset is in the uwp app, which is quite ridiculous but that's the windows world we live in now.

Also many of the "tweaks" mentioned in that repo are likely to break service imaging so if you do update, you'll end up in a perpetual updating/rolling back cycle.
I made the observation that hand-writing extremely helps me to solve problems (especially programming and math related).
In some way it removes mental barriers / distractions I have when using digital tools (how do i want to organise this? can i link something here?).
I can just dump every thought on paper and work way more creatively.
In most cases the notes are dumped in the bin afterwards (one couln't uderstand them when reading them without context).

In meetings I also really enjoy to outline some points / a little agenda for myself. This way i don't forget to address "my" topics or can wait for a better moment.

In a way pen and paper are a tool for me to organize my thoughts in a more structured way. And it seems to be more socially accepted to take hand-written notes while talking to someone rather than typing away on a notebook.

> on paper showed more brain activity than subjects who recorded the same information onto a smartphone

This just shows that smartphones require less effort, not that paper is better, necessarily.

Then they say people were 25% faster to recall information later when they used paper, instead of smartphone. But is it like a 4 to 5 seconds increase? I bet so and it's irrelevant.
I agree that the model does make mistakes. Your examples sound realistic, and I hope we make more progress to improve on models that can propagate stereotypes and similarly negative aspects that can arise in training data. I had meant to criticize the journalism, versus saying the mistakes don't exist.
From a glance at the language description, this is very different from what he is looking from Jai. I don't see any description of it having metaprogramming facilities as good as D or Jai (or even C++!).
> "if you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything" ...is very much an anglo thing.

Not sure that's true from what I've observed but I've always taken that advice as meaning "if you're going to criticize, find something positive to say first", not "never say anything negative". And I've never really thought of it as applying so much to criticizing art that's in the public sphere.
This is why it's essential to break monopolies. We end up getting the sort end of the stick without even realizing.

I struggled with this as well in school. In elementary we were taught cursive, then in middle school switched curriculum to print, so I ended up with a weird messy print/cursive hybrid.

I can thankfully write cursive, for my own notes, but it can be hard to read back for others.

I had to make a conscious effort to write my print neatly, only tips I can give is having good reason to write, and using that to take your time and write slowly. Most of my sloppiness in writing came from being too quick and not caring enough. I take weekly classes for a second language, and use my homework as opportunities to write slowly and legibly. Best of luck!
Credible? Most new instances are literally just a few weeks old.

Welcome to the fediverse, where not everyone is on the same big server: There is wandering.shop if you're into writing. If you're into dinosaur paintings, go to sauropods.win. If you like math-art, it's very much on-topic on mathstodon.xyz. Try inkblot.art if you like non-conventional instances. Or genart.social if you like algorithmic art.

Those are just the ones I discovered by accident recently, without trying. Try picking a general instance you trust, and browse an artistic hashtag there. Also, most general instances are okay with art (try the #mastoart hashtag).

(Also the three instances recommended by .art when you try registering there. Probably not for you if you don't like .art.)
Line-Out ≠ Headphone-Out
I heard someone describe the process of writing notes as conditioning his mind for the problem space. The first thing he does with any new subject is write down pages of messy notes with no intention of consulting them again. They are just an expendable resource to help get the info into his mind.

I found it really refreshing to approach notes as totally expendable one time things to help memory. In school we were taught to treat them as a well organized, legible reference log and I was terrible at taking them. I wish I had just slammed down everything of relevance with no concern for organizing the info.
Self-selecting to stay isn't a once-and-for-all decision, though. On any day, any (or many) of them can change their mind and leave.
The author said specifically that he did not want to make the video about this philosophical point:

> I imagine I'll get some pushback on my definition of a machine. I didn't want to turn the video into a definitional debate so I glossed over it pretty quickly. That was intentional.

The specific definition is kind of besides the point, basically what he’s saying that if the cell is a “machine” then it is quite unlike any machine we are familiar with. It is far more complicated than anything humans have built or even imagined.
If you can find very old Jai videos on YouTube, you can find the creator of Odin was one of the early people excited about the project.

I suppose if the development of Jai was made more in the open/public, Odin would probably not have existed.

That said, I'm glad Odin exists.

I feel like we should be able to easily "bundle" leap seconds into existing leap days on leap years. Make February 29th just some random number of seconds shorter or longer than, say, February 28th. Most people feel February 29ths are weird anyway, few people would probably notice when they have strange amounts of seconds in their final hour. Some software might hate it if Feb 29 23:59:56 rolls over to Mar 1 00:00:00 or much more rarely there's a Feb 29 23:59:62 (or using the existing Unix time "smearing" technique, some Feb 29 you get three or more Feb 29 23:59:59 timestamps in a row), but other than that it would 1) be on a predictable day, and 2) a day that's already a weird every 4 years except every 400 outlier that's already expected to be an edge case.

I, sincerely, have no idea at all what this phrase is supposed to mean. Even with what you previously wrote.

Hmm. I'm British; where, geographically, did you encounter your usage?
I never said we got those genes from them just that intelligence has been a slow grind to reach human beings.

I agree that the simplest properties of neural networks are an emergent property of multicellular life.
I'd hypothesise that typing would be as useful for recall if it stayed out of the way as handwriting does (for most people)?
I don't have a resource but I'd recommend slowing down your writing speed, doing some practice, and possibly experimenting with other writing styles. Writing is like other physical skills, you need to get your practice and reps in to build your muscle memory.

My writing is pretty illegible when I write quickly, but when I slow down and use capital style block letters my notes are a lot easier to read back later.

As a side note, sometimes it doesn't matter if the notes are illegible later. Just the very act of trying to write it helps with the later retention as you are more deeply engaging with your brain and muscle combination. In school I often took written notes that never got looked at again, but just having taken the notes helped a lot.
