What if you have multiple dacs (and other types of conversions)?

Excepting subs, it seems many speaker systems are hardwired together downstream from the dac, but there should be a good way to have multiple independent speakers networked together that could be time consistent. and audio <-> video consistent with whatever display you have.

and bnc cables.... would be another whole network.
But surely, the thing that makes Warhol's soup cans more valuable than a copy is the fact that Warhol (or his studio, anyway) actually touched the original. Being able to show provenance isn't what makes it valuable, it only shows that the particular thing in question is the valuable one.

I can paint something right now and show provenance for it, but that won't make my childish scrawl valuable.

The problem with electronic art is that there's nothing special about the original over copies in this sense. You can't hold it and know that you're holding the very thing that the artist was working on.

I did. It's using a lot of words to obfuscate its central thesis: That even if you select against a trait, that trait won't diminish. It may as well be arguing that antibiotic resistance cannot develop, or that corn can't be selectively bred to increase yield.

It's sad that even 163 years after On the Origin of Species, people are still trying to deny it.
Your post reminds me of the saying with the faster horses.

Docker doesn't solve Python's packaging problems by being a better packaging system. It solves it by sidestepping the issue of users installing packages themselves, and shipping the disk of the one machine where it once worked.

It's a bad linker.

I've always been impressed by vegetarians, because of their comfort in the moral convictions that keep cows alive and suffering for their dairy and children, but never dead for their meat (and an end to their suffering).
It's only a workaround unless the python env in the resulting docker is reproducible for all practical purposes. Otherwise the generated images become precious artifacts you can't loose - there is a risk you gonna get problems if you re-build the image now instead of reusing the working one built X years/months ago.

You make it sound like divorce is an anti-male process. Why should the male get more of the assets? Why do courts usually decide to give mothers a larger role in caring for children? There may be sexism involved, but if so, it’s a rare example of women coming out ahead.

You make it sound like women can’t do construction jobs. Have you heard or seen how women in those jobs are treated? Maybe the issue isn’t that women can’t do those jobs?

You make the role of the married woman sound like it’s about pillows and mindless yabbering about people of little relevance. Perhaps they have roles in their relationships that are more complex and more important.

When you pick a group that are disadvantaged by most measures (eg lower wages, worse job prospects, worse healthcare outcomes, more likely to be victims of abuse) and deride their concerns, it’s a gross. It’s pretty much the attitude the women in the article were trying to avoid.

> In a 2021 talk organized by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science and later posted to YouTube, Dias said “We recently raised $20 million just to, you know, focus on the science part of this. And these are the investors that we used for this kind of technology.” At that moment (43:25 in the video) a list of names appears on the screen. Under the category labeled “Investors (Series A),” the names include Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Daniel Ek, co-founder and CEO of Spotify. Following the publication of this article, a representative for Dias told Quanta that those were “aspirational statements,” that the company had not raised the money, and that the names listed were prospective investors.

You definitely want an integer to always be an integer, but you often want to represent "A or B". E.g. user has a contact method that's a phone number or an email address. Result of validation is a validated value or a failure message.

Here’s my big question: physical size of the pump. I have limited space for condensers outside due to the layout of the home, and the reason I haven’t put in a heat pump is due to none being physically sized small enough to replace our ACs (48k btu and 24k btu).

Any word on dimensions?
Tesla did not add iPhone style lidar (up to 5m) because they already had 12 cheap ultrasonic sensors (up to 8m) for short range distance detection since all they need to know at that range is will or won't I hit something. They are now full optical though and may have already been ignoring some sensors in software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Hardware

There are several reasons why they would not just add new sensors even if they are in some/all ways superior:

* Tesla special cases different driving situations. This makes sense as a product company seeking to sell consumers on solutions to each situation as a feature but means they need to re-implement each situation individually when the sensors change rather than just swapping out some generic distance detector net. You can observe this from the loss of features when Tesla went full Vision over the last two years.

* Adding new sensors adds new errors which leaves you to chose between ignoring danger conditions present in only one sensor as possible errors or greatly increasing safety stops etc (some of which would be genuine previously undetected dangers). Because of Tesla's engineering culture the prudent second option or a sensible middle ground would be impossible to make since they would fail from a user experience point of view at the first false stop during a demo to the big man and then be forever poisoned (imho).

* Tesla has always been pursuing a full vision only solution on the reasonable assumption that if humans can do it then eventually computers will too. The only disagreement with that strategy is when exactly that will/should be.

If you use the implicit optional type then you have no way to express 'not optional'. If you use the explicit optional then you can express optional/not-optional but you're stuck with a potential 3rd state. One of these problems can be fixed by convention (don't use null, ever) and the other has no fix.

Why would it be bizarre? It's not exactly a fringe belief that patents in all software are holding back innovation.

I don't think programmers often consult 20 year old "inventions", so it seems pretty obvious on its face that the supposed benefit of patents, that something is _only_ locked up for 20 years, is quite pointless in software.

Anyway, for loops are safe, unless the for loop is over the elements of a linked list. Then you need to wait until next year: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7028023B2
I think audiophiles don't have any meta-perception of how their own cognitive process colors sensory information, while somehow being able to map the difference in aural space.

So maybe in a sense it does "sound" different, but it's more because what they are thinking about leaks into their aural experience.

I get where you are coming from but its best to not to frame it that way. This planet is now in flux. It will never be the same again. We are far, far past the point of preserving some sort of status quo on ecology. The Willow Oil project is located in an ecology that simple is going to be gone. Its not salvageable. We have already made that choice. Its at nearly the northern most point on earth so the type of ecosystem there would need to migrate north and theres nothing above them. So yeah that sucks. And the oil drilling project itself (the capital, labor, materials, etc) is definitely a waste of human effort -- no doubt about that.

However, its hardly large enough to move the needle on carbon emissions. I mean compared to the really big forces at work that is nothing. They wont get 30 years of oil out of there, and they know it. So its just rearranging of deck chairs on the Titanic -- a project that wont meet its expectations, going into a place that was going to be massively disturbed anyways. In fact, the project may not even get built because they would need to build on permafrost and turns out that is super difficult to do properly especially when its melting. There are many reasons to be pessimistic about the future but the reality is that wether or not this drilling project goes forward does not make any difference in what the future will be like.

There are however a ton of important things we can do as a society to make a better future for ourselves and those who come after us. We can do those things now, even as the death cult around fossil fuels continues its business as usual. In fact, by doing those things we make them less powerful. So while its good to recognize that things are changing irrevocably, its not like we are helpless. The important thing is to find alternatives to the status quo, find ideas that make us more resilient and then support those initiatives.

The one and only job of lawmakers is to create or change laws as they so choose.

Obviously lawmakers must still abide by laws in effect*, but they can absolutely change those laws if they have sufficient votes to do so.

Even the US Federal Constitution can be changed by lawmakers, nothing is off-limits with enough votes.

* Some countries suspend enforcement of laws within the physical space of legislative chambers. As an example, I understand over in Japan it's perfectly legal for a Diet member to murder someone in the Japanese Diet's legislative chamber because laws prohibiting murder aren't in effect in there. IANAL so I could be misled by urban legends.
Isn't this debate largely a false dilemma?

Its obvious to me that an additional category is prudent, or that people besides employees should have access to subsidized health care premiums and some form of paid sick leave. that doesnt have to come from the employer and that doesnt have to mean that worker flexibility is curbed.

contractors can already do retirement benefits plans such as the 401k plan, running your own is far more flexible than an employee’s version

its lazy to “solve” these gaps by reclassifying workers as employees

it is also ridiculous that only giant corporations can lobby the people to get its own exemption passed to restore contractor status, other groups should have this power too. maybe an agency could put up comment periods for specific industries, removing this need from the legislature or proposition process

Best of luck, I am legitimately rooting for this to be a winner (I love the concept of design meets efficient heat pumps and believe there is a substantial market here)... but how can outsiders trust to give you their money for a deposit when it's clear there is very high risk that this ever reaches market?

Interesting stuff. A few questions:

How does it scale? Your deployment example (self-hosted?) just shows you how to run what looks like a simple server. Do you just run a lot of those and throw a load balancer in between?

Err... C++20 added concepts but not definition checking, so templates are still duck typed. That is, it is still possible for a substitution failure to occur after performing a concept check. Definition checking would eliminate such failures.

In every language that I can think of that supports generic programming (including Go), there's support for definition checking.

It's always seemed strange to me how singularly obsessed Google culture seems to be with the idea of promotions. All the weird things Google does seem to come down to "that's what gets people promoted". But... why? It doesn't seem like Googlers are systematically underpaid, so why is promotion such a focus?

Maybe this is part of the reason my own stint at Google didn't work out so well.

We all have been hearing about layoffs lately. It's a tough time. while I do completely empathize with them, I would like to share some practical lessons I have learned in my career.

The drilling is on land. Artificial cooling of permafrost using thermosiphons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon) isn't new. For example,

> 120,000 thermosyphons were built into the Trans-Alaska Pipeline’s supports in the 1970s.

https://dakotafreepress.com/2021/07/11/permafrost-melting-co...

All of the concern about this project is fundamentally speculative. That doesn't mean the speculation is wrong, but little factoids like that about thermosiphons seem to be thrown into the mix to insinuate more substance and impending doom than can otherwise be fairly shown (at least shown in a popular news article).

If coal is any indication, it's entirely possible that extraction at Willow would become unprofitable long before the lease expires.
That's not how it goes down in practice, where a Chief Diversity Officer's job is to control diversity, rather than to let it flourish. The only "rules and arrangements" that trickle down from the top are the biases, actions, and behaviors of senior leadership. They are the ones who really set the examples. A company with a Chief Culture Officer sounds like one where the leaders are not interested in culture. That's why they hired someone else to "handle" it.

contracts need three elements, (1) a meeting of the minds (the parties need to agree what the contract is about), (2) and exchange of consideration (including of a peppercorn), and those two are not enough, one of the party needs to act on the contract showing (3) reliance. (and contracts need to entail legal activities)

IANAL but maybe you aren't either, and the discussion of reliance that you link to does not mean the other elements of the contract don't need to also be in place unless you specifically know otherwise.

IANAL but the "doctrine of reliance" is not a doctrine on its own afaik, it's one of the three elements of a valid contract.

This is true, but now you're explicitly depending on all of your transitive dependencies, which makes updating the project a lot harder. For example, if a dependency stops pulling in a transitive dependency past a certain version, you'll need to either recreate the constraints file by reinstalling everything, or manually remove the dependencies you don't need any more.

Also pip freeze does not emit a constraints file, it emits (mostly) a requirements file. This distinction is rarely important, but when it is, it can cause a lot of problems with this workflow. For example, a constraints file cannot include any information about which extras are installed, which pip freeze does by default. It also can't contain local or file dependencies, so if you have multiple projects that you're developing together it simply won't work. You also can't have installed the current project in editable mode if you want the simple "pip freeze" workflow to work correctly (although in practice that's not so difficult to work around).

Pip-tools does work a bit better, although the last time I used it, it considered the dependency chains for production and for development in isolation, which meant it would install different versions of some packages in production than in development (which was one of the big problems I was trying to solve).

From my experience trying basically every single option in the packaging ecosystem, there aren't really any solutions here. Even Poetry, which is pretty much best-in-class for actually managing dependencies, struggles with workspace-like installations and more complicated build scripts. Which is why I think pretty much every project seems to have its own, subtly unique build/dependency system.

Compare and contrast this with, say, NPM or Cargo, which in 95% of cases just do exactly what you need them to do, correctly, safely, and without having to think about it at all.
This is what maddens me the most about the TradFi space. Everything is supposedly regulated but in the end the b2c companies will keep doing whatever they want.

At least serious DeFi gives you a quantum of sovereignty! Sure many will say: “but look at all those crypto grifters!”. But if you aren’t completely consumed by greed it is child’s play to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Panics and exceptions are not the same thing. For one, it's not possible to recover from a panic. You can handle a panic from within a handler before the program terminates, but you cannot resume execution as you can with exceptions.
With 4-bit quantization you could run something that compares to text-davinci-003 on a Raspberry Pi or smartphone. What a time to be alive.
With 8-bit this should fit on a 3060 12GB, which is pretty affordable right now. If this works as well as they state it's going to be amazing.
