It's not necessarily about the time it takes to type the type definitions.
static typing leads to developers trying to represent the "real" world in a bunch of categories and arbitrary boxes. Thats not necessarily a good thing because you can loose much time in bike shedding discussions like "Is a person class still a valid person class if it has no Surname" which do not provide actual value to your product.

Depends on what kind of “analog” you want.

In an NN context, given that you already have “transform with a matrix” as a primitive, probably something very much like sticking a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFT_matrix somewhere. (You are already extremely familliar with the 2-input DFT, for example: it’s the (x, y) ↦ (x+y, x−y) map.)

If you want a physical implementation of a Fourier transform, it gets a little more fun. A sibling comment already mentioned one possibility. Another is that far-field (i.e. long-distance; “Fraunhofer”) diffraction of coherent light on a semi-transparent planar screen gives you the Fourier transform of the transmissivity (i.e. transparency) of that screen[1]. That’s extremely neat and covers all textbook examples of diffraction (e.g. a finite-width slit gives a sinc for the usual reasons), but probably impractical to mention in an introductory course because the derivation is to get a gnarly general formula then apply the far-field approximation to it.

A related application is any time the “reciprocal lattice” is mentioned in solid-state physics; e.g. in X-ray crystallography, what you see on the CRT screen in the simplest case once the X-rays have passed through the sample is the (continuous) Fourier transform of (a bunch of Dirac deltas stuck at each center of) its crystal lattice[2], and that’s because it’s basically the same thing as the Fraunhofer diffraction in the previous paragraph.

Of course, the mammalian inner ear is also a spectral analyzer[3].

Some may see the Russian military's escalation to these armaments as a sign of weakness. I have to agree. Consider that they've been shooting missiles at Ukrainian apartment buildings ever since they started the war, and still haven't managed to sink any of them.
Probably, yes. But I'm not really trying to put up a copyright barrier to enforce or sue people. I at least want to have a way of telling AI developers "please don't do that".

The big problem we have with tensorflow that means we're trying to move away from it the undocumented breaking changes.

A model saved in 2.0 should work in any later 2.x version.

In practice, they've changed the implementation of the batch normalisation layer at least twice, causing 3 sig fig differences in a unet.

They just don't seem to care about production use of tensorflow.
The usage of "usually" in the comment you are replying to is often paired with a "but/except" that I feel is implied here, and so they actually agree with you.

Was the hostility experienced here on HN? I've come to learn that HN is far more hostile and toxic than I'd first realised.
Note that while still quite complex and difficult to grasp for newcomers, WebRTC is now much more stable and well implemented by web browsers. However bugs and interoperability issues have been rampant still in latest years, so I don't want to think about how the scene was in 2013...

Regardless, in my above comment I was thinking of a lower level. Not WebRTC per-se, but the plain RTP protocol.

Every RTP (UDP) packet has NTP timestamps included in the header. RTP endpoints (both client and server) have a well defined set of calculations user to synchronize packets based on their timestamps, and also infer network latency, jitter, even clock skew, that kind of things.

RTP packet headers also have a sequence number. This is used to detect out of order, or missing packets. Then the packets can be reordered, or (if it makes sense) a retransmission request be sent back to the sender.

I.e. a lot of the problems that were being described in the original article, seem to be already handled by RTP.

So I was thinking of how realistic it would be to use multiplayer game data, instead of video frames as the RTP payload, to leverage all these network-related mechanisms of the protocol.
Solid research really needs much longer timelines. Let's take some hypothetical and unlikely scenario that offspring of people who received an mRNA vaccine develop a medical condition. Mass vaccination would affect everyone so we cannot afford to be careless here. While the chances are remote, they are still above 0% and therefore 2-5 years of research seems just not enough.
Younger people having healthy sexual lives is all good as long as it stays within the same age group. I don't think anyone implied the countrary.

Our economy is based on oil. What you are proposing is an immediate economic collapse of whatever country decides to go that way.
I don't think it is that black and white. An ORM has utility for many use cases.

I think too many people try and discuss tools based on things that aren't relevant or are idealistic or that remove the nuance from the argument.

Does transpiling make for a bad tool? Depends on the use case. Does mapping from tables to objects make a bad tool, again depends on the use case.

I think any discussion of tools without a clearly scoped use case is next to useless.

I also want my work protected from being used to train models that will produce code where my attribution and redistribution conditions are not respected. In particular, I don't want my work to help building proprietary software. Or I want to at least be paid for this. I explicitly use (A)GPL so people need to make their work available to their users, with the relevant rights to adapt and redistribute, if they want to use mine.

However, I'd rather not see a separate license / mechanism for this, because now we would have people who'd be fine with their work being used this way, people like us who are not fine with this and people who don't know / care. And mixing code from people of these different groups, which the licenses you cited allow, is going to be a mess.

I also would like that this not be opt-out, but opt-in.

Eventually, we need the legal system to do its work quickly and tell us if fair use can be used to train ML models and in which conditions, so we can build a strong defense.

“Everybody hates each other here.”

That reminded me of J. G. Ballard’s “High-Rise”, a 1970s novel with a unique twist on the post-apocalyptic landscape familiar from scifi:

The biggest problem with large vinyl collections is the space they take. I have a turntable and small vinyl collection, which consists of albums I like to dedicate time listening to them.

When I say "a large vinyl collection", I imagine something comparable to Haruki Murakami's one [0]. I neither have the space, nor the time or financial means to collect that amount of vinyl, though I have some collections and albums I'd never exchange with any vinyl.

I prefer a good CD or a very nice FLAC rip played via a nice vintage Hi-Fi over vinyl for casual listening. Vinyl has its very place in the music world, and it should be present, but life (at least mine) has no space to accommodate it as the primary source of music.

People want pills to fix their poor life choices.

The best thing for yourself and the country as a whole is sleep, regular cardio, regular lifting, regular sunshine and fresh air, cooking all your meals from scratch with whole (ideally local and in season) ingredients and mostly elimination of all refined products like sugar. But we normalized obesity.
I guess if it’s waterproof and small then it works too. Though older Apple watches are actually extremely cheap.

Ooh, yes, I’d forgotten that! And I’ve actually done this experiment myself — it works impressively well when you set it up right. I even recall being able to create filters (low-pass, high-pass etc.) simply by blocking the appropriate part of the light beam and reconstituting the final image using another lens. Should have mentioned it in my comment…
> Machines which expand through the galaxy treating biological life as a nuisance to be destroyed are not the legacy I’d like us to leave behind.

Everything humanity has ever built came at the expense of countless biological lifeforms we considered to be a nuisance if they were even considered at all.

With very little exception there's no use of land, however trivial, that would be prevented because of its impact on non-human biological life. The few lifeforms that are excepted are mostly ones that have already been driven to the brink of extinction, and in my country nearly half the population votes for politicians who feel even that goes too far and that the government should have no right to tell landowners what they can't do with their property no matter what kind of owl or salamander or tree or fungus was there first.

The legacy we've left behind isn't looking much better. If machines reach a point where we're no more complex to them than plants or insects are to us I'd still like them to give us some consideration, but I doubt we could expect it

Add some way to export heightmaps or topographical maps, and this will be useful for RPG scenario writers (so much better than the standard "macaroni throw" method of island creation)
> why is it still not economical?

Entropy and energy.

- Entropy: dispersing is easy, collecting is hard.

- Energy: burning releases energy, putting it back together requires energy.
$200/ton is 20c/litre (assume specific gravity of 0.75, and fuel being 75% carbon by mass).

Here in Ireland, tax on petrol is around €1/litre (VAT + excise duty + "carbon tax", but it all goes to the same place). A 20c extra subsidy would not quite be noise, but it's less than the price fluctuates from quarter to quarter anyway.
Out of the six brain aneurysms(all men - four resulted in deaths) in my extended social circle just one wasn't a person before their 40s.

In one case serious consequences were prevented only because the wife of the person, after exhausting all other options, called a special "ambulance on call" service which was part of their healthcare package.
I understand, but excluding preference for our own existence -- and that of species we find pleasing or familiar -- wouldn't preventing a mass extinction event prevent the rise of new species? Every mass extinction so far became an opportunity for new species to rise and spread, of course to the detriment of many others.

So why would you consider us to be "helping", if we exclude anthropocentric arguments? Maybe we are actually doing harm by preventing the rise of some new interesting species.
I find it extremely ironic that people would be able to pay for "one of the wealthiest addresses in the world" and still in turn obtain a subpar experience.

Decent book, but personally I found it like a lot of Ballard’s other work: fascinating concept that somehow didn’t turn into an interesting story. It just emphasizes how a cool idea doesn’t replace storytelling skills.
Conventional Commits: Specification for human and machine readable commits
Vinyl is a gimmick. Digital is far beyond anything vinyl achieved, and realistically the vast majority of music on vinyl is going to come from digital sources anyway.

Yeah, the tech could be improved I'm sure, but you can also get 24 bit, 192 KHz audio if you want to. It's far easier to produce and to deliver to the end user, even though it's ultimately pointless.

As far as consumer-level listening goes, I think it's fair to declare that audio as a technology is done, and has been completed decades ago. We can far outdo human capabilities on cheap, consumer level hardware, not to speak of what we can do on the high end.

I'm of the opinion that it's an acceptable concession that a brief pause occurs in gameplay to permit another player to recover from transient issues (network hiccups, brief machine resource starvation, or generally: stalling) in favor of fairness rather than punishing the player too harshly for factors that are frequently out of their control.

Consider for instance the situation where-in one player's simulation enters the spiral-of-death, under the policy that you're proposing this player is effectively removed from the game; I would say this is a substantially worse trade-off -- I know that I would personally prefer some mild annoyance of brief pausing as opposed to a player leaving the game (and in session-based games, as RTS's generally are, a team-mate leaving often ruins the entire game)

Abuse is indeed a problem that most games I've seen of this nature don't address, and while there's no perfect solution, it can be quite effectively curtailed. In the systems I've designed, the basic principle is that each participating player has an allocated amount of wait time which serves as a quota that is charged while-ever the game can progress/run, but cannot, due to them being in a wait-state (connecting/loading/reconnecting/stalling/explicit pausing/whatever). There's some extra logic for handling the oscillation of wait-state.
KJFK has a system like this that uses a blend of radar and transponder multilateration to automatically signal to aircraft that they are about to enter an active runway. The pilot either did not see (for human or technical factors) or disregarded this system during the incursion.

What is lacking (to your point) is the ability to automatically compare ATC’s verbal instruction to the aircraft to its actual position.

It's clear that we don't need supertalls but rather they are a mechanism for the most rich and corrupt (including the builder) to launder money.
Someone saying the exact same words back to you doesn’t prevent miscommunication. If the pilot and ATC had the same understanding of the situation then the pilot wouldn’t have done something likely to result in a crash.
I regret my poor description of seL4. It has proofs for how it functions, and how code execution is isolated, etc. That is not -every- security issue by any means but reviewing a spec is easier than reviewing code, and a small code footprint that forces things out of the kernel that do not need to be there is a major win. I hope more projects follow their lead.

As for Linux, piles of companies pay for Linux kernel security, though many bugs are found by academics and unpaid independent security researchers. Linux is one of the best examples of many-eyes security. None of those brilliant and motivated researchers are allowed to look at the inner workings of MacOS or Windows though Darwin is at least partly open source so I put it way ahead of Windows here.

Also re-implementations of most features from grsecurity have been in the mainline kernel for years. https://gist.github.com/madaidan/2031b844d760683af19e85bda18...

On system-call firewalling tactics like SELinux it is true very few use these in practice as most devs have no idea what a system call is, let alone how to restrict it. That said Kernel namespacing features have come into very wide mainstream use thanks to Docker and similar containerization frameworks which cover much of the scope of things like SELinux while being much easier to use.

As for most Linux /distributions/, I sadly must agree they favor compatibility and ease of use over security basically always. I will grant that Windows/MacOS enable basic sandboxing features that, while proprietary, are likely superior to nothing at all like most Linux distros. Other choices exist though.

QubesOS is the Linux distro for those that want high security. It is what I run on all my workstations and I would trust it out of the box over anything else that exists today as hardware access and application workflows are isolated by virtual machines and the base OS is offline.
I'm only an interested observer of the space, but a bunch of work is being done getting at least some of this stuff to run on Apple Silicon in recent months.

I've been running Stable Diffusion on my M1 MBP since...I dunno, November or something? and it's working great.
It can be a good prescreening recruitment platform where developers try to find other developers to join their team.

With this kind of platform, you need to keep the quality and commitment high all the time, which is quite challenging. For example, I tried LunchClub for a few weeks, it was brilliant initially, but then you get those who canceled last minute or did not show up to the call and then stopped because I saw it as a waste of time.
No. Main stream interest just isn't there.

> This futuristic dream-like scenario is being sold to us as a real scientific possibility, with billionaires planning to move humanity to Mars in the near future.

As far as I'm aware, no billionaire has ever said anything about "moving humanity" to Mars or anywhere else; except to dismiss such claims as nonsense. Nobody is "planning" such a thing; let alone for "the near future".

Musk wants there to be a colony on Mars in the near future.

Bezos wants heavy manufacturing in orbit, or in-situ in the asteroid belt.
Yes, taken to an extreme it means life is not preferable to rocks. But because I'm human, I prefer life to rocks.

But I think the point here is that we wouldn't be "doing good" necessarily by preventing a mass extinction; we would be definitely doing good to ourselves (no small thing) but for Earth's ecosystem? Debatable. Especially since we would possibly be preventing the spread of new species, since mass extinction events seem to have been so far useful tools in evolution's toolset.
Record companies have always held the strings though — they have the artists. A long time ago, when I worked for minimum wage, a record was about two hours of my wages. So when the industry introduced CD's at twice the price of vinyl records that was a pretty significant price hike for me.

"Don't worry, the price of CD's will come down," they said. Over the following years, vinyl faded and CD's maintained the same price point.

Perhaps, an optimist might point out, the price of the CD did drop — relative to inflation over those following years. I don't know. But when AOL saw fit to flood our mailboxes with CDs to get online, it was clear that the cost to manufacture the compact disc certainly wasn't a factor in dropping the price of the music CD.

I'm too old fashioned in my understanding of business, capitalism. I always assumed that you priced a good based on what it cost to produce plus some reasonable amount of profit that would allow you a nice home and car. I assumed therefore that a downloadable eBook would be significantly cheaper than the same "pulp" book from the publisher that had to be manufactured from raw materials, printed, shipped....

It is weird seeing the same dumb music industry.

It’s strange to see $30-40 records when digital versions are $10-15.

I liked buying albums because they were a totem and they included mp3 downloads. Or some even had high resolution flac download (Peter Gabriel was good about this).

But the last few didn’t include digital downloads so I had to pirate the digital version.

I used to buy a lot of CDs- I think I had 1000+- but the industry just kind of turned me off by suing customers and whatnot.

I thought maybe they had learned their lesson, but they still seem like rent seekers sitting on top of artists.

As always (like in 2000) there are artists selling directly that are pretty cool. But it’s hard to go to a record store and spend $100 to come away with three records.
