Practice reading sheet music, which does not mean playing what is on the page but reading the page and understanding the harmonic structure in both the vertical and the horizontal. Starting out this means sitting down with some sheet music and a pencil and marking up the pages. This will also help you learn the notes and more importantly the intervals. And play those scales, circles of fifths, triads, arpeggios through the 7ths, etc. Sing the note names as you play them, it will really beat it into your head both the staff position and the sound even if you are not good at singing them at proper pitch.

Flash cards are not great here since you loose context, you want to study both the vertical harmonic structure of chords and how that evolves through time in the horizontal structure. Just download a bunch of sheet music and print it out or buy a notebook/pad of staff paper and write it out.

No, it's not the same thing because for plagiarism detection tools we don't really base a decision on the tool's output but rather compare the submitted document with the supposedly plagiarized original that the tool identified, and in those cases both verbatim copying without attribution and trivial changes can be identified by a human, the tool is just generating suggestions for human review.

On the other hand, if a tool thinks that the text has an x% probability[1] of being AI-generated text, I have nothing to base a decision other than the output of that tool - if I'm not willing to fully delegate the decision to that tool (and I'm not) then I have no practical means to verify if the tool's suspicion is right.

[1] And as someone working on machine learning, let me spare you a lecture on that a ML classifier saying "x%" can not be safely interpreted as x% probability, there's a million caveats that the vast majority of papers and tools don't try to address.

This is a big misconception. It's mostly not luck.

Different societies can and do focus on different things. The US focuses a lot more on innovation and progress, and invents and pioneers a lot of the things that other societies, who spend their money on other things, then get to benefit from. Sadly, some of the occupants of the latter also taking a moral stand against the economic and social differencies that create those advances.

First, speaking from experience of someone who worked in a (failed) project that wanted to build a "Enterprise version of ChromeOS", based on Firefox and Linux: I love this naive confidence to predict how much it would cost to bring a whole new lot of features to a product (Firefox/Gecko) that is known for being extremely difficult to refactor.

Second, You really don't get it, do you? They will not spend money on anything that might actually threaten Google's dominance. They get 30M to play with AI is because they don't get to spend anything on making Firefox a strong alternative for Chrome. If they did, Google will take all their money away and then it's game over for them.
If you are distributing a tool to desktops, and not via a package manager, then i agree that the single binary is a genuine advantage. There are ways to get similar results with Java, packaging code and a JVM into a single file, but they aren't as simple.

>That is EXACTLY what I DONT want from my framework:

Unless you're happy about never going out of the guardrails set by your framework, there's going to come a point where, one way or another, you're going to need to interact with something outside of it. Are you going to wait for an official React-WASM way to interact with WASM (which is going to be using useEffect under the hood anyways)?

Frameworks with no escape hatches are hell. The escape hatch just needs to be bright, bold and with a warning on it that says "there can be demons behind that hatch, watch out".

Give me a break. Parlimant is elected directly, commission is made of PMs of the member states government, that were also elected. If feels like hearing Brits touting those 'unelected bureaucrats' while at the same time having unelected PM and house of Lords... no voting system is perfect nor the EU is perfect but this is one of the dumbest arguments there. As for policies - they are quite often very pro-citizen and having lived outside the EU for a couple of years I appreciate them even more...
I don't disagree. But my conclusion is that cancel culture is nothing new. The novelty is that those that used to get cancelled are now cancelling others.
But this is about the language used to describe the action, not the action itself. I don't think “being unable to open a bank account” is what most people mean when they say “so-and-so shouldn't be given a platform by the NYT”.
I think this has changed with Netflix and other streamning services: if you can get Netflix to buy it then the only marketing needed for Netflix is to put the movie online.

Sprawl with competing “centres” I think is fine. Sprawl where everyone is trying to get to the centre for work and play not so much. London has good sprawl IMO. I doubt it affects affordable housing.
Although it may make houses more affordable vs. appartments.
Sure, I understand and acknowledge your point.

All I'm saying is that there is an objective fact: There are things which are almost universally recognized as attractive/valuable in the current society. That indicates that there must be something inherent to those things that make them appeal to such a huge number of people.

In other words, subjective != arbitrary. A ball falling in a maze of obstacles may follow an unpredictable path, but a million balls falling will have a predictable distribution of paths. At scale, human experience still follows some rules and patterns. If a person/thing is almost universally recognizable as beautiful/valuable, at point we may recognize some of its qualities as "inherently desirable".

> Salaries in Germany (and other European countries) are lower than in the US because German citizens receive a lot of benefits through government budgets that US citizens can only dream

So all this justifies German employers paying their workers less? I'm not sure how should this make sense. All of those things you've mentioned are great and are financed through taxation paid by the workers...

So just compare pretax salaries? Which are still considerably lower in Germany. ...
On the first point, do any law geeks know whether it would be possible to craft a new CC license along the lines of "CC-BY-NOAI" although, given that companies profit from their LLMs, I'd have thought a NoCommercial CC license ought to cover it, but evidently not, under US law.

It's odd to me that the Cyberspace Administration of China or other "related departments" are really quiet on this. Isn't this is one of the very things that they should be keeping their watchful eyes on?

Add to the funniness, there is a report posted by CNCERT just last month on their website showing their tests on Chinese online shopping apps[1] which includes Pinduoduo. If you see their investigations and numbers, you probably think Pinduoduo is fine (really, take look the report), LOL. (Note: in case you're wondering, corruption on a small routine report like this is very unlikely, but CNCERT probably did not look very deep into the rabbit hole at all)

In the end, you still need independent experts such as like Liu Huafang to alert the country through public exposures, just like, you know, what has happened few years ago.
That's a bit disingenuous, for a service that has been overwhelmingly male for centuries. I little like saying "Our club is completely fair and traditional, even though we don't have any women's bathrooms. Tradition!"

Remember this woman was an Admiral(?) and a groundbreaker. Maybe she made the tradition. Not a lot of Navy folk (publicly) wearing dresses before either.

That was my point, badly made. There were likely no traditions regarding menopause or menstruation before women joined for instance. There was a need to 'make tradition'.

Whether that applies to decorative dangly earrings worn during interviews, I suspect there was some part of tradition that was lacking clarity.
I don't know if we can say they are more or less likely to be victims of card stealing, but that there are a higher number of reversed charges unquestionably true. Had huge problems with that before ccbill. Even after, there were still a higher than normal number of issues.

I think honest people would concede that there are many, many legit issues around chargebacks. But if it's about money, then just say it's about money and everyone can sit down and go to work on finding methods of reducing chargebacks that actually work.

Well, as with all homebrewn solutions, you don't know if you are reinventing the wheel until you're done. At first, it always starts with "the current solutions that are available do not fit me, but I still could use them to achieve what I want". There was nothing forcing 37signals back in 2004 to roll their own framework in order to support developing their apps, but they did anyway.

And for every Rails out there, there are thousands of internal frameworks with big ambitions that just turned out to be inferior to what's already available. You just can't know it when you start developing. It takes a bit of ego and ambition to go that path, but sometimes it pays off. And my guess is that if it paid off in the past, you're more likely to try it again.

Small correction: because contributions to the public health insurance fund are capped at a certain salary level (just shy of 60.000€/year), it would actually be pretty stupid to opt out of the public model just because you earn a lot. Private insurance can be attractive for people in Germany because i.e.

- their are no eligible for public insurance (only impacts a very small number of people, who are in many cases "independently wealthy", i.e. are not actually working)

- have very specific employment structures (most public school teachers benefit from having a private insurance due to certain government benefits paid to them)

- require or want certain benefits not offered by public insurance

- think that because of their special circumstance, private insurance will work out cheaper for them long-term (usually when you have the financial capacity to enter the private system at a very young and healthy age)

I have increasingly become disinterested in CGI-heavy movies. I have taken to watching more foreign-language films, which seem to still be more interpersonal and grounded in reality. I say this as a person who would usually prefer sci-fi and fantasy over other genres, which are the genres which are historically the most heavy in CGI and VFX.
> There have been many attempts to prevent this counterfeiting through tracking labels, but none have proved effective; among other issues, such labels have been vulnerable to hacking because of the deterministic nature of their encoding systems. But now, a team of MIT researchers has come up with a kind of tiny, biodegradable tag that can be applied directly to the seeds themselves, and that provides a unique randomly created code that cannot be duplicated.

MIT are "helping" prevent counterfeiting.

The thing is that nature allows for farmers to keep seeds back to grow next year. By preventing seeds from being used the following year (either physically or legally), and by selling those authorised seeds - ie by inserting oneself into a natural process in order to monetise it - you then move that natural process into the legal, with IP rights, big aggra profiteering, etc.

The whole system that has been/is being created is so bizarre and immoral. If you have a better product, then let people vote with their money. But instead the attempt is to prevent farmers from accessing their own seeds, preventing their use of that seed, contaminating the environment so that only your 'roundup ready' crops can survive in the toxic conditions, etc.

If the governance system we have was acting for freedom, and if it had some morality, surely it would be supportive of farmers and the right to grow one's own food. But the opposite is true - as we see here, counterfeiting (as if it was a song) is the problem that needs to be addressed to ensure that IP holders are able to continue receiving their profits and increase their control despite the carnage they have wreaked on local farming.

Yeah, we are much worse than Italy. There is basically no example of a major transit project in the US being done fast and on budget in the last couple of decades.

For the same money, and in far less time, Copenhagen built an entire fully automated subway under the city.

> There is 0 chance the landscape for media isn't a trillion times better now though.

When was the last time a movie like the lord of the rings was released? 20 years, when it was released. Since then movies went more into soulless 3d rendering and so on. Big budget games took a similar path, back then investors hadn't figured out that they could churn out the same game over and over with new graphics so they funded a lot of novel game ideas, but that stopped and now most big budget games are very much the same.

The landscape might be better today in theory, but in practice the culture that made those days happen is no longer there and it wont come back since what made it happen was bridging old tech skills with new tech skills, the old skills are no longer there.

They are not.

The gamedesigners who are all "Show" not "play" are the worst. Same as authors who wan to "tell" and not "show" in movies.

Those who have "cool" scenes in there heads, which they want to make into a game, make for the worst, cause not interactive game experiences. Stop conflating a passive medium and a active medium.

Its even worse, if they glue singleplayer "movies" into multiplayer without gameplay considerations. As if the the ten other players want to wait for that cool "finnish" him cinematic to play the 100 time over.
