This is about pixels being essentially point samples and not geometric shapes. In my opinion the geometric shape model is still a very useful mental image when dealing with pixels and does not contradict the point sample model.

When dealing with pixels as shapes the shape is not necessarily a square though. Pixels can be rectangles and this was common in the home-computer era. The article even acknowledges this (in a footnote):

"In general, a little rectangle, but I will normalize to the little square here. The little rectangle model is the same mistake."
>is an escape from such a system possible?

It will certainly be possible as soon as enough competent people try it. You have to know that new things and new solutions always attract the strangest people at the beginning, who often do not act very efficiently and rationally. That's because you have to be either crazy or pretty desperate to bite into a fruit that no one has ever bitten into before.
Who was ruling Surat when Shivaji sacked the city? Shivaji sacked Surat when it was ruled by Mughals. I am not sure why you have failed to take that into account. When Shivaji attacked, did he carry out a general massacre of non-combatant population like the invaders did?

Conflict among Hindu kings were rarely deadly for the conquered population. But conflict with invaders mostly resulted in massacre, loot, and slavery. So they are not the same.
Except in games, where it seems common to run games at resolutions other than native, which means that you have a choice between some pixels being different shape than others (nearest-neighbor) or even overlapping (interpolated).

And when you dig in to LCD displays, you'll discover that treating pixels as uniform squares might get you in trouble still, because that blue vertical line turning into a red one is actually shifting horizontally.

And if you look even deeper, you'll find specialized displays (like on cameras) which don't use a square grid at all.

Oh, and that only covers the display side. Cameras also have pixels, but they are different from little uniform squares in new, exciting ways. Typically Bayer.

To make matters worse, designers decided to hijack "pixel" to mean something else in the context of scaling, but don't be fooled. Those measures are not pixels.

I mean, this specific pitch is pretty heavily geared towards people who know what both Airtable and SQL databases are.

I think it's a smart pitch because a large chunk of that target audience has at least a basic idea of what both of those things are, and it'll hit pretty close to home for those people who've experienced the pain points of both of those options doing a thing very well, and a thing not well at all (which the other does well)

Perhaps they'll target other groups in the future, but in the meantime both of those things have a wealth of information for those looking to learn also.

Yes that's exactly the problem. Why does it seem okay for the IRS to demand a million dollars from someone who has no way to pay that? Like, doesn't that seem like something is wrong/broken somewhere? There's a cottage industry of loan sharks who will lend people money so they can pay, but how about instead the IRS not take money from people who don't yet, and may not ever, actually have the money to pay, until they, y'know, have the ability to pay off that tax bill.

It’s a nice and powerful family of languages with lisp, scheme, clojure etc. Just because people who don’t have experience have the ‘ewwww parens’ reaction when they see it, it’s not used a lot. Similar to APL families (modern versions should be relevant to ML: numpy etc are basically APLs with different syntax).

I personally believe everyone should try different paradigms and languages even if you never use them. First of all it will help you see patterns later on, which results on learning whatever programming language in a very short time when you need it. And it opens your eyes to how powerful some of them are, and even to get most out of your ‘day job’ language.

There was someone on Twitter who was programming c# fulltime for a decade or so, and didn’t know you could ‘int i=0; for(;i<x;i++)’. Then the comments saying ‘oh I thought that was only c/c++’. That is a fundamental lack of understanding; how do they think this works? Magic? When you have seen many languages, you discover interesting properties that are normal in other languages but still possible and actually beneficial in your most used one. Lisp/Scheme deepdives are known to give this type of insight that will stay with the professional developer forever, making them better, not necessarily using Lisp.

This is one of my favourite features on my Framework laptop. I use it primarily for video conferencing when working from home. It is no nice that I can flip the switches and then don't have to worry about Google trying to automatically turn my camera or mic on.
> Expecting me to spruce up beyond what I would ordinarily look like in person is just ludicrous

I don't think the point is mainly about sprucing up beyond what you ordinarily look like. Aside from what others have said, one thing to consider is how the eyes and ears work in person vs via screen + webcam / mic + speakers.

Differences between a human eye and a webcam make it so that when you look at someone in person, even in shitty unflattering light and in a cluttered environment, you'll mostly see that person as they "normally" look. But stick a webcam and a screen in between, and all bets are off. Especially if you're going to use high contrast (think dark skin + white shirt or the reverse, with a strong backlight for bonus points).

Same for listening. You can usually hear people when you're talking to them and there's noise around if you focus a bit. But put a crappy laptop mic and speakers in between, and good luck understanding anything they say.

I don't often use my webcam and tend to turn off incoming video because I don't enjoy teams melting my laptop. But it's an atrocious, infuriating experience trying to talk to someone when I can barely hear their voice and instead am able to follow what their colleagues are saying or counting how many cars go past their window. Taking a little care to be understandable doesn't mean you're expected to be some world-class speaker.

> I think an important difference is if he “owned” and solelt possessed the data, the warrant would be his to fight (or not comply with) in court.

My understanding from the article is that he was, in fact, given 7 days to contest the warrant, and elected not do so because he didn't want to spend money on a lawyer. Which sounds pretty similar to the options he'd have if he had sole possession of the data and the warrant was served directly to him, though of course IANAL.

When joining any early startup, you really want to be able to do an early exercise of your options immediately when you join. If this is not possible for whatever reason, I consider it too risky to join.

When joining a startup one already knows it can fail the traditional way (bankrupcy), so that's the risk we take. But getting stuck in the position of having hit it big on paper but you can never leave the company because there is no liquidity, or having them expire.. just too painful.

The same is also true if you drop down to a single dimension - audio data is a discrete sampling of a continuous signal, and again, it is commonly misrepresented as a step function (a staircase) which is very misleading and leads to many mistakes when considering signal processing.

Big crisis in UK. Journalists have to feed their children.
For the past 4-5 months I've kept three browser profiles, which I use simultaneously to compartmentalize things across work/personal/hobbies and to try out different browsers and search engines. I use Kagi on two of them and Brave Search on the other (I gave up on DDG as it disappointed me too often; Brave seems slightly better than vanilla Bing as they combine it with their own index).

The difference in results quality is stark. On Kagi I have to !g maybe once every few days, and usually I don't find what I'm looking for on Google either, but on Brave it feels like I do it for a third of my searches, often for ones where I actually know exactly which result I want and am using the search engine as a shortcut. So whatever Kagi is doing, it's definitely not "Just Bing".

From their Discord, it is apparently some combination of Bing+Google+their own small index, which makes sense because for niche searches where Bing and Brave completely fail, Kagi's results seem to closely mirror Google's, with the benefit of its result boosting and filtering features. For more common searches it seems to match or surpass Google regularly.

I've just switched to the annual plan to lock in my current $10 unlimited searches rate, and will re-evaluate after a year. I can't justify $25 a month, but looking at my history (and guessing how much I'd need if I moved all of my Brave searches to Kagi) I may not actually need more than 1000 included + 200-500 pay-as-you-go searches per month, which is juuuust on the boundary of what I'd be willing to pay.

It doesn't make sense to use floating point for coordinates because it makes points near the origin have more precision than other points.
This is wrong. Pixels may not be perfect little squares but they are not perfect point samples either. They're normally somewhere in-between.

Cameras do not sample points, and even though with sufficient filtering they can be equivalent to point samples of a low passed image, plenty of cameras don't have any filtering.

Similarly displays basically never have filtering to make pixels point samples. If they did then anti-aliasing wouldn't be a thing!

Hell, most projectors literally project little squares! (Even in 1995 IIRC.)

This must have been written by someone that just learnt about sampling theory and thought "aha! Pixels are samples!" without actually thinking about real life.

I am interested. I have been working on this problem for the past 32 years, ever since I dropped out of kindergarten to pursue my true calling of AGI

My Qualifications:
---I have read blog post, tweet, and comment on AGI and doomer psychology ever written. I have mastered every obscure java script framework ever written.
----I built my own supercomputer from scratch using a piece of copper acquired when I was 6 hours old, while I escaping out the womb (Copper IUD), I still use this machine today, I run my own custom version of gentoo that I re-wrote in Gatsby.JS while watching a Steve jobs documentary.

But none of that matters now. Because I have found you. You are the missing piece of the puzzle for my master plan. You see, I have a secret plan that will guarantee our success. It involves using a combination of quantum computing, blockchain technology, brain implants, psychedelic drugs, ancient occult rituals and javascript diffing.

But I can’t reveal it here. It’s too risky. There are too many enemies who want to stop us or steal udeas. We need to meet in person and discuss it face to face.
That’s why I’m inviting you to join me at my secret underground bunker below the twitter headquarters. It’s the only place where we can work safely and securely on our project without any interference or distraction.

Don’t worry about the logistics or expenses. I have everything covered. Just pack your essentials and be ready to leave at any moment. Trust me on this one. let's take this project to the next level by holding hands and writing assembly code together. I mean, what better way to bond with my founder and create groundbreaking AI at the same time?

P.S.: Have you considered writing your code in emoji instead of assembly? It might make it more expressive and fun.

Some time ago police asked for data from my cameras. They did not present a subpoena, but were very open and clear about the purpose (a car has been stolen on the street next to the building) and the time span (2 AM - 3AM). We looked at the footage together, found nothing and they went away. I could have very well told them that they need a subpoena, but that could easily backfire. I could also have told them that the system is out of order, or even destroy the footage if I had something to hide. You can't do any of the latter if you data is uploaded to a cloud provider.

Unfortunately DIY security cameras are usually based on old hardware and lack the AI goodies of new systems (e.g. semantic event detection).
