As others have mentioned, I think the interesting thing here would be understanding the latency for processing the signal. Anything in the single digit milliseconds would be fantastic! I know at one point I was looking into Raspberry Pi and ended up on Pedal Pi[0], though I couldn't get the parts I needed to make it work.

I ended up using Teensy[1] and related audio shields[2] to get things working from a sound/acceptable delay perspective. But being able to get things going on a Pi would probably make more of the advanced input controls much simpler to implement simply from a OS support perspective (like in this project with the WebUI). The UI I'm seeing in this project looks great and it would be cool to potentially see something like kits/preinstalled images roll out for this!

I live in a suburban area that has been around since the early 1900s and we're not suffering infrastructure collapse. Your number smells like BS.

In my circles it was mainly left leaning people against the HST. Part of it was a dislike of Gordon Campbell and part of it was that the HST changes were seen as pro-business.
In Aus, the government doesn't manage the money. They set a mandatory percentage of your wage which must be put into superannuation, but you as an individual can choose the fund to manage your account, and you can move funds at-will with no penalty. The Tax Office actually facilitates the move to help prevent any nefarious actions from the funds.

There is also the option of running a self-managed fund, where you invest the money yourself.

That said, it has created an incredibly politically powerful industry managing $3.3 trillion, which comes with its own issues.

> France's system has the working population pay for the pension on the retirees, as a social security tax. With the retirement age around 62-65, with the lifespan increasing, and with the Baby Boomers retiring, it isn't a sustainable system.

It can be sustainable, even at comprable rates, especially with fewer younger workers if wages are allowed to increase to meet labor demand.
Instead of asking sensationalist questions designed to create fear...why not look into it?

It’s not “low information”, if anything we all have way too much information. It’s the overwhelming quantity of “low quality information” that’s breaking us.

Combine this with the decimation of the middle class and democracy has a big problem.
I still think there is a high probability the whole bubble will burst explosively by the end up the summer. We've seen an unprecedented self-reinforcing wave of hype and commensurately inflated expectations. When it falls apart, it's going to fall hard. I'm not saying there's nothing to the tech, just that expectation have become so inflated that whatever new developments actually happen will never he able to keep up. I'm still betting on AI winter (with a long fall driven by inertia in governments and big institutions that didn't get the memo). This is going to be a highly exaggerated version of what we've seen with blockchain (edit: with the qualifier that while blockchain will go to zero unless someone finds a use for it, ML will settle to its nonzero real utility)
That’s the nature of social programs. They’re for everyone.

It's not that hard to do a basic cost benefit analysis of adding a package before you throw it in your package manifest. It usually takes minutes, not hours (and certainly not days). Skipping this step doesn't gain you major efficiencies and definitely doesn't make you a better developer.
While category of sets technically could not be expressed as a ZFC set, the idea behind the set theory is enough. Also you could add an axiom[0] in ZFC to make category of set a set.

Sort of off topic, but I do agree that the older generations in the western world, particularly the american baby boomers, act sociopathic as a group. There is a good book about this: A generation of sociopaths. [1]

Sad to watch an entire generation hate their children and grandchildren (if they even have them). Believe me, I do not enjoy painting an entire group of people with a shit-stained brush, but it is what it is and it should be called out.

You can go as far (or as short) as the application warrants. The more static evidence you want, the more cumbersome it's going to become. That seems sort of a natural progression, but the the point is that you get to choose the trade-off. It's often easier to prove a special case than a more general case.

(Certainly, Haskell is probably not the most concise language for this kind of thing. LiquidHaskell adds interesting proof capabilities wrt. arithmetic.)

Regardless, even just parsing at the boundary and using an opaque type

MySuperSpecialInt = Int @Even Min(2) Max(100)

(or whatever syntax you want) is still better than just using Int. At least you'll know that you'll always be handed a value that's in range (post-parsing).
I don't think you're using the term "food desert" properly like you think you are. In the suburbs, it's expected that you'll get to your local grocery store and find healthy foods available at reasonable prices. In a food dessert, your local 15 grocery stores/bodegas/whatever you all them, won't have access to healthy foods. You might see a banana, or something, and it'll cost 4x what it would cost at a regular grocey store, hence there's an affordability aspect, to it, too.
Why doesn’t Google open source it then?
What about those of us who live in suburban towns that are doing just fine for well over a century and not getting any subsidies from this mythical 'inner core'? From where did you pull that $20K number?
But did you cut the deficit? I believed the last ephemeral PM had to resign after cutting taxes and, at the same time, growing the budget had dire consequences.

Many grad students are employed as research assistants in labs. It's federal agencies like NIH and NSF that are supporting those labs with grants.

For grad students who are serving as teaching assistants or as full "instructors of record," they are still being paid less and given substantially fewer benefits than tenured faculty.

There are many factors driving the increase in the "list price" for undergraduate tuition — I doubt that the take-home pay of grad students and their health insurance are significant factors.

That creates a worse product for the user. It adds an extra switch to the design which complicates it, and it leads to situations where the mic isn’t on but the user doesn’t know why.

What Apple came up with works perfect as it adds some privacy while affecting the user in no way. This is also combined with permission dialogs for mic access and an indicator light showing the mic is in use.
There certainly are. I grew up in a very liberal area and have met lots of people that fit the description. Picture a guy who was raised by ex-hippies and doesn't read the news or care about politics.
Your map shows that today Germany got about 35% of its power from coal, 15% from natgas and 50% from zero-carbon sources (nuclear & wind primarily).

A coal powered EV has roughly equivalent emissions to a gasoline car, and a natgas powered EV has roughly 2/3 the emissions of a gasoline car.

So a German EV would have roughly 0.35 + 0.15x2/3 + 0.5x0 = 0.45 the emissions of an EV.

And you cherry picked one of the higher polluting countries.
I appreciate this argument - and there is some truth to it, but certainly not to the point of (paraphrasing here) "anyone who doesn't want to live in the city is participating in a Ponzi scheme"
Some arcade games were much worse than others, some of them were basically on a timer, draining your health the entire time so no matter how well you played you'd have to keep dropping quarters in to continue. There were also games that outright cheated in terms of difficulty to extract more money from players. I avoided those kinds of games, but some kids were hooked on them.

The difference is that even the worst arcade games were only a problem for the limited time you spent in the arcade. They weren't sitting in your pocket 24/7 sending you notifications begging you to get back to the game or leaving constant threats that you're missing out on something. Arcade games had only a single currency, quarters or tokens, and those could be freely exchanged and never expired. You didn't need 30 tokens to play, while the arcade would only sell you tokens in a non-refundable pack of 50, but that sort of scam is commonplace in mobile titles. The arcade games weren't collecting massive amounts of your personal data and selling it to data brokers either.

Mobile games are so much more abusive than even the most exploitative arcade games were and people weren't happy about constantly plugging quarters into the arcade games either! That's a large part of why the console market took off. Sadly, it seems like we're coming full circle and even major console titles now sometimes look (and act) like shitty free to play mobile games.
I did explain it to you. YOU want a certain class of people to continue working and providing the sustenance it takes to maintain your modern standard of living while not contributing at all yourself. SOMEONE will have to maintain emergency services, food, and water. Why do you think you alone should get to opt out of the system?

You CANNOT obtain the lifestyle you're going on about with out a sub-class of individuals that do have to continue working these supposedly "slave labor" jobs you're talking about. This makes you an elitist. You think you deserve to live a care free life while others are forced to maintain that for you.

You need an attitude adjustment and you need to put some perspective in place before it's too late. You're not thankful for what you've got.

The other old thing was heterogeneous hardware. We had x86-Wintel for a long time, with all the emphasis on generic CPU speed and RAM and desktop OSes. People took that level of homogeneity for granted. Now hardware and software are each getting more specialized.

28ms is a small trade off. Sorry, but it is, and this is exactly my point; you don't have to give a hoot about 28ms and you can still be a very effective developer.

In fact, I find it hard to think of an effective software dev who does care about 28ms without having specific reason to, due to a niche use case (not a generic web app for Internet things, like a hospital instrument that needs every ms).
It's crazy how we still don't have the ability to atomically create/replace a file on the popular operating systems and filesystems , despite that being a super common use-case (without workarounds like renaming which have annoying limitations).
Nah, that's people like me. We say "nuclear has high and increasing costs, requires state-subsidised liability insurance and isn't even getting closer to solving its waste problem" and think that learning to live with cheap fickle solar is a smaller problem. Even if you disagree, I don't think you'll call it a a low-information attitude.
There's a lot to consider with financing a car that isn't necessarily obvious to most people. We've all heard that the car depreciates in value significantly the second you drive it off the lot. With a 72 month note, you are upside down on the note for a much much longer time. Since it is a car, there is a greater than zero chance of getting in a wreck. It could be a situation that after insurance pays off the deemed value, you are still owing the financing company for a car that you can no longer use. This is why gap insurance is important for the longer term financing.
If you're about to sue your former employer for breach of contract (because of the acquisition) and wrongful termination (because he was fired for being disabled) it's nice to have the CEO admit all of this stuff in public.
> What positive things do you think came out of Brexit?

They said it: they "objected to the EU on political and economic grounds" and now they are out of the EU.

That's not true, they said that they expected a short term economical decline:

Sweet, was just looking for something like this the other day. My use-case is not for guitar, but just to offload some fx processing out of a DAW - a friend and I have gotten into jamming recently, and while you can do just about any
musical production task these days with a budget laptop and enough patience, where you quickly run into limitations is running multiple realtime effects. I'm not yet serious enough about it to start spending $ on effects pedals (which typically cost hundred of $ each), or even to have a clear enough idea of what pedals I would want, but I know enough about electronics to realize most modern ones are just a glorified arduino with a a 500% markup, so a budget-friendly programmable swiss ay knife pedal would be a dream.

For my use-case the touchscreen is entirely unnecessary (programming it via a WebUI sounds more convenient anyway if you don't need to use it sans PC), which is inflating t
he BOM by about 500%, and of course RPi4 is a uniquely poor choice of target platform at this particular moment in time, so seeing if it can run on a headless Pi Zero is definitely going on my endless to-do list. ;)

Correct, but most of this issue is because on Party has been trying to eliminate it since its inception.

Right now the Tax cap is 160,200, Congress should eliminate that tax cap, then there will be plenty of $. That cap is about equal to 9300 in 1938. Lots of people in Mang. makes well over that amount.
Interesting that you state authoritarianism and dictatorships themselves the bad outcome, rather than the consequences of such systems. In a hypothetical world where these dominated, they would do so by creating better outcomes (as unlikely as that seems to many people today who haven’t lived good lives in authoritarian countries).

You lost me here. Recover from what, exactly? You've alluded to some problems here - which I'm happy to consider as valid - but you haven't described them as anything but "political" and "economic". Was Britain on some terrible downhill plummet in these areas?

The NI protocol came significantly after the EU decided to turn the NI border into an issue in the Brexit negotiations (iirc, the EU's position paper was published in 2017).

The reason why the UK had to look at unilateral action was: because the EU wouldn't negotiate (the original position paper was made with the premise that the UK would actually go back on Brexit and that the issue could be used to force another vote), because NI hadn't had a govt for years as a result, and because terrorist attacks were increasing. This isn't a negotiating tactic, the EU attempted to break up the UK in order to "win" at Brexit.

You may call that a "bizarre interpretation" but the Windsor framework accepted this because all the EU's previous reservations were dropped entirely (i.e. they were negotiating tactics).

The mistake that previous UK govts made was to accept the EU turning the UK's territorial integrity into an issue over, essentially, a trade deal.

It’s really eye opening how big the gap is not just in labor costs but also perishable goods.

When I was in morocco 10 years ago one of the buckles for my motorcycle pants suspenders broke. I was able to get a local leather worker to create a pattern from the broken piece, craft the replacement, and integrate it into my suspenders overnight for under 5 USD. This was arranged by the hotel I was staying at, and wasn’t some special inside knowledge on my part.

The mass manufactured replacement were more than 10x that cost, and made of lower quality materials.

Morocco is not a rich country, but a lot of the world is even less wealthy.
Application in the sense they are using it is probably different than the sense you are using it. Although its still probably a fair question regardless.
You could make the same argument about disposing of toxic waste (it's definitely cheaper and easier to just dump it in the river than to deal with the "reality" of processing millions of litres of sludge).
May be not with filesystem semantics but I would think providing atomic updates would be a very useful thing.
Take the 20% cost reduction the last two generations lead to. That would change Flamanville 3 from exorbitantly expensive to exorbitantly expensive.

The French nuclear program as a whole has had a huge negative learning curve. The more they've built and learned the more expensive they have become. Sure you can brush of 20% with a lot of money down the drain, but that does not make it in any way economical.

Well in the city where I live (Minneapolis) they've been tearing down houses in several areas of the cities where post-world war II architecture was abundant. Small houses (under 1,500 sq ft) with a small front yard and back yard. The very typical "American Dream" kind of a starter house.

Now they're getting bought up and the people are literally building houses from every end of the lot, often time getting variances for setbacks. They've decided that yards and green space are no longer important. They want wedge a three story 5K sq ft house on the same lot where a much smaller home fit.

So, I would agree and say to an extent, people are already there in terms of dealing with no lawns, now its just getting them to accept several houses on the same lot instead of their massive mcmansion.
At this point, it seems near impossible that anyone who isn’t a shill for corporations can be appointed to a position intended to be a check on said corporate interests.

I’m not sure how anyone who wants to see legitimate progress in technology would not support this candidate. Sure if you’re a m/billionaire it’s a bad pick but for the general populace, this was a solid pick. And it’s quite obvious that said corporate interests bought their way out of this candidate.

It's very reasonable to build a masonry structure that is safe in a large earth quake. They are however more likely to suffer major damage during an earthquake. Wood framed houses are less likely to be damaged, and have much cheaper repairs when they are damaged.

I started "List of films set in the future" in 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_set_in_the_futur...

I created it because I love futuristic movies.

It got taken down several times before I finally won my appeal to keep it up. One argument was that it wasn't worthy of being in Wikipedia, despite the fact that even back then there were countless other lists of films covering tiny niches.

There was also significant debate about whether the Star Wars films could be added, and ultimately the decision was made that they couldn't because they are set "A long time ago..."

But, it's been very fun watching it grow over the years.
