There is deeper maths behind 12-tone octave than is implied by "western music".

It also encapsulates nearly all other scale systems found in the world.

The fact that 4/3, 5/4 and 6/5 are approximately 2^(1/12) apart, and 3/2 is twice as far as that from 4/3, pretty much made every other musical theory system irrelevant.
I remap CapsLock to Esc and use that as my toggle key in god-mode: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode

This makes the Ctrl sticky, thus emulating the modal behavior of vim, but using emacs bindings. It also has some clever escape sequences that let you input complex chords without ever having to press more than one button at a time.

I have gotten so used to it that I have started looking into a way to make a solution that is global across my whole system (Linux). So far I can emulate some of the behaviour using something like kmonad (https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad) although some things like repeated keystrokes cannot easily be expressed using the configuration language and requires a more low-level approach.

Let's say that there are three tables being used for playing Monopoly. Each of these games is played between a player designated A and a player designated B. At table 1, the game is played under standard rules. At table 2, the game is played with the standard rules, except at the end of the game, all of the money that the winning player has is given to player A in addition to their regular starting amount. At table 3, the same rules are played as at table 2, except that money is only passed on to player A in games where they did not start with additional extra money from the previous game.

Each table plays 10,000 games, and then the number of wins for each player are counted. Which table do you expect to have the greatest difference in the number of wins between players A and B, and which would you expect to have the least difference in wins between players A and B? I'd consider the table with the least expected difference of wins to be the most "fair", and the table with the greatest expected difference to be the least fair. My hypothesis is that table 1 would be the most fair, followed by table 3, and then table 2 would be the least fair.

Translating this to inheritance in the real world, I think being able to give an advantage to one's descendants for 10 generations is less fair than being able to give it to only one generation. In the context of something like an estate tax, I could imagine something like an implementation where accepting an inheritance incurs a higher tax rate on any money bequeathed up to the amount you inherited. For example, if I inherit $1,000,000 over my lifetime and then leave $5,000,000 to my heir, maybe the first $1,000,000 might incur an extra 10% tax, but then the remaining $4,000,000 is taxed at the regular rate. For something like this to be seriously implemented, I expect that it might need do account for more things (e.g. adjustment for inflation), but at least as far as I can see it seems like a pretty reasonable idea. It's possible that something like this already exists though!
Thats asking for a lot, considering my entire commute is 10 minutes, but I hit the highway 1 minute in.
It has no concept of certainty, unless it was embedded in the original data. What you are describing is an more general AI. This is a language model. I like to think of it of a cognitive intelligence: the ability to process input and compare it to a stunning array of trained data that will have many parallels to reality but has no concept of it.
2. Yeah, but that's in Central North America that barely moves any dirt at all - kiddy mining.

When you look at, say, Canada or Western Australia things are different; here (W.Aus) we move in excess of 800 million tonnes per annum (that's iron ore alone) with a bit over 18% of women in the mining work force [1] - driving trucks, operating diggers and loaders, manageing, as geologists, etc.

Convenient that we're only doing that because "we have unpopular opinions". But did it ever occur to you that they're unpopular because we're not allowed to speak our minds fully and rationally convince others of our ideas' merits?

This is completely delusional. There was more new net capacity in solar installed in 2022 than nuclear has ever delivered by around 50%. Wind exceeded the historical nuclear max by 30%. And the balance of hydro/geothermal/etc came close to matching it as well. Pipelined production will see the first two doubling in the next few years.

I recently started searching for new and underrated online side hustles, and got the idea to create a niche job board. As I was searching for a no-code software, I came across jBoard and it seems to be the perfect solution for me as it took me around 3 hours to fully set up my new job board and go live. As a non technical person, their auto-importers made it easy for me to import jobs from other job boards like Linkedin and dedicate my time on the monetization part.. The strategy I'm going with to attract employers is the following: I am reaching out to employers in my niche and am offering them a one time free job posting to encourage them to create an account on my job board. By doing this, I am bringing them one step closer to becoming potential paid customers. Once they sign up, they can see the easy-to-use interface, and later, when they want to post new jobs, there is a high probability that they proceed and purchase one of my products, or even subscribe to one of my recurring monthly packages. I am surprised to see that not a lot of people are talking about this side hustle, and I would love to get in touch with other job board owners and share strategies and ideas.

The radar is looking at reflected analog signal bouncing off rain drops. I'm not too surprised an active transmitter blasting digital data can cause interference. Raw 802.11 packets can go several miles and be successfully picked up without corruption. The useful range is simply limited by the bit error rate exceeding what the forward error correction is capable of correcting. Also, each 802.11 frame preamble is transmitted at a relatively low symbol rate, maybe like 6Mbps for 5Ghz channels. Even if the data itself is at a higher rate that's spread over more spectrum, the preamble is going to maximally stick out; that's the whole point of it, to be maximally received by all radios.

>... Citing black authors would be much easier if historically black academics were allowed to become academics, write papers, etc. These are forcing functions against prior suck.

Historically blacks weren't allowed to play sports either. When the color barrier fell, they flooded into sports like basketball and baseball. No affirmative action was needed to achieve representation.

When the US supreme court upheld affirmative action decades ago, they stated it was a temporary measure which would probably be rendered unnecessary as time passed. That hasn't happened -- in fact, just the opposite. Affirmative action students tend to major in "culture studies" type disciplines, then get diversity/equity/inclusion type jobs. At those jobs they are basically paid to advocate for further affirmative action in one form or another.

It's not a forcing function against "prior suck" -- the past can't be changed. It's a forcing function to further grow the ideological snowball.

> First it's a distribution and a package manager

Nope, it's a language, and thinking of it as those things, even more so firstly is probably part of the struggle.

It's a language that you use to get your computer to do specific things. In this case, it might be a "package manager" and in the other case it could be a "distribution".

When you write go or rust to print "hello world" to the terminal you don't go around and call these things "printers", or "hello worlders".

It's a language, just like rust, go, php, bash, ed, awk, and brainfuck. Your first example even shows you using the language why proclaiming ahah! shell thing, or package manger! -> `'python38.withPackages (packages: [ packages.django ])'` is using this language to instruct the computer to do something. If you don't want to take the time to learn the language and understand its outputs, and want to just think "this is a package manager" then you are going to get lost.
Fascinating article. Doesn’t seem terribly concerning though. I’ve personally never noticed wifi dropping out like this. Although if I did I’d likely attribute it to some other unexplainable event.
Alternative explanation. They are happy to fall over to student demands about issues related to "social justice" and the culture war because it costs them nothing and they don't care and they know there is nothing to be lost or effort on their part. In contrast things like grad student wages becomes a very painful thorny issue that actually bothers them and would inconvenience them so then they'll put the foot down.

Basically rainbow capitalism or focusing and elevating issues that are less likely to have a direct impact in order to divert us from meaningful change.
I think this is overstatement as to 'turning it over.' DARPA paid for research and operated communications systems in furtherance of a standardized packet network. This was done largely with privately developed tech like commercial telephone wires, commercial modems, commercial minicomputers, commercial solid state RAMs, commercial storage tech. The benefit of DARPA's big funding boost was consolidation, sharing, selection of objectively reasonable choices like tcp/ip, and allowing international collaborators. This sped up the process of having a viable, unified internet wherein other researchers who were not even in the United States contributed tech like the web (on Next computers, with Next software stacks, Motorola chipsets, Sony CRT tech, etc).

Your question seems to be about how others feel about Lisp. It's not clear to me why that's even an interesting question. That's like choosing a hammer based on how popular its color is.

The language you use decides what you can think. Unlike other languages, Lisp doesn't decide for you. I can, and have, programming in every style I've seen while writing Lisp. Most programmers won't find that a feature.

Also, Emacs. If you're gonna Lisp, you really want Emacs.

I've been a Lisper for 52 years.

The article compares the cost of gas cars to EV's charging at public chargers.

While the article is about Germany in the Netherlands most people with an EV primarily charge at home or at the office with private chargers. Using their "own" way cheaper power.

> identifying integer powers of 2

Doesn't this just get you the octaves, which are by no means unique to the 12-tone scale?

> group properties of C12

Can you expand on this? "Group" in what sense? C12?

I'm genuinely intrigued!

In any case, I don't think I disagree per se. But from what I can tell, the 12 tone scale only "falls out" if we apply two constraints: (1) roughly 10 tones in an octave, (2) steps are roughly equidistant (I'm _not_ alluding to equal temperament tuning here). Besides those constraints, why does, say, 16:15 get a tone (m2) but not 7:6?

So the question becomes: are those constraints justified?

EDIT: Partially answered my own question by consulting this diagram [1]: 16:15 has a lower "prime limit" than 7:6.

> But did it ever occur to you that they're unpopular because we're not allowed to speak our minds fully and rationally convince others of our ideas' merits?

Bold claims have a heavy burden of proof. One could quickly retort with the opposite, i.e. perhaps they are unpopular because they have been refuted many times but the proponents believe the 97th time will be the charm. Who's right?
>> Pure democracy works better when you’re talking about very large groups

I'd argue it gets worse the larger the group. Its very hard to change the direction of a large group because of inertia. Libertarianism has been around a while, but struggles to get traction when pitted against the established norms. Even if individuals are convinced, it's hard to convert enough individuals to matter.

>> or if everyone is subject matter experts

Again, a small group of experts doesn't necessarily create concensus. We saw that during the pandemic where each country, guided by experts, had such a variety of responses. Lock-out (new Zealand), lock down (China), carry on (Sweden), and innumerable random configurations (USA) all lead to different outcomes. Or did they? Sociologists will be dining out on this for decades.

Most functional democracies (I'm thinking company boards, member based clubs etc) understand nuance, and letting everyone win a bit, while finding compromises between majorities and minorities.

The explosion of insanity though (think QAnon) makes a mockery of the democratic process, and exposes the root flaw of group-think. What if the majority think Tom Hanks drinks the blood of sacrificed babies - what price democracy then?
