Relative pitch is quite helpful to have. However, I have absolute pitch and I find it quite helpful as well.

- I can hear things in my head and play them directly on the instrument more or less on the first try

- I can improvise with others and catch what key/etc they are in quickly

- As we practice, we get a sort of kinetic/physical memory for remembering music, but also this can feedback into that "hear things in head, play them on the instrument" – so I feel like memorizing things can be assisted by absolute pitch

- I can remember music I heard and play it back easier

There's a lot of people saying it's not helpful, but I have to wonder if they have experienced having it or not? If they have it and find it unhelpful that's fine… but I've experienced it as nothing _but_ helpful to me.

This is exactly the power of higher level government.

Everyone loves to talk about making decisions more locally, but the truth is that fundamentally, local decisionmaking is no better or worse than national decisionmaking; it's just different, at least overall. In some cases it's better, but you can see that in a case like this, just having coordination forced upon local agencies that otherwise have little incentive to cooperate is actually fantastic.
It's rare I run into an app I want to use that has more than trivial root detection, including my two banks. I would probably change banks before giving up root or mobile banking.

When I do run into apps that are difficult to run, I make sure to give them 1-star reviews. I consider attempts to block rooted devices from running an app to be malware.
It's a really serious issue, and we've tested many of those types of questions/messages, but you can test for yourself also if you want. We state that it definitely shouldn't be used for emergency situations, and the chatbot tries to provide medical information and recommend anything else to a healthcare professional.

But also it can be dangerous when you don't have access to medical information. The first friend that started testing the WhatsApp bot lives in the Sinai desert in Egypt where it's really hard to get to a clinic to ask questions. It's kind of similar in rural Nebraska where I grew up. We're taking things one step at a time and trying to provide the best services that we're able.
Virtually, no one died because of those disasters, surprisingly. Nuclear is infinitely safer than most other forms of energy and it has a better environmental footprint.
As a rich dude, there's pretty much zero chance that anyone is going to be able to buy me a record for my record collection that I don't shut up about unless I specifically tell them what to buy.

For the bands I really like, I mostly have everything I want. But if you did manage to figure out a record I want, you would need to know which version of the release I want. For some records there are dozens. Maybe I want the first release, maybe I want the first US release, maybe I want a higher quality reissue, maybe I want a colored vinyl release. But whichever one I want, if you get me a different one it goes in the trash and I keep the release I want on my want list.

Then you've got to figure out what condition to buy it in. If it is something I'm getting to collect rather than to listen to, it needs to be near mint. If you get me very good condition instead of near mint, it goes in the trash, and I keep it on my want list. If it is something I'm getting to listen to rather than to collect, VG+ is fine. You can get it near mint, but you just wasted $50 because near mint is hard to find, and it isn't going to be near mint after I listen to it a few times.

So skip the vinyl for Xmas, if you're going to get me a gift, money works. I'm not picky about condition or version. Cash, money orders, bonds, it's all good. Or real estate.

But if you insist on gifting vinyl, I'm looking for the Weirdos "We Got The Neutron Bomb" single, 1978 release, near mint, the unofficial colored vinyl Beastie Boy singles from Paul's Boutique, I want them all but if you can only get one, "Car Thief", near mint, and the 1987 "Gimme Fever" single by Shake Appeal (first band Adam Franklin from Swervedriver was in, along with his brother), VG+ is fine.
Can you show one example, where your comment bots created "helpful comments", that started a interesting discussion?
Another critical consideration of this is that if you make a mistake in unsafe rust code it could manifest itself as a 'bug' in the 'safe' rust code due to invariants that the safe code depends on not being upheld. It is literally undefined behaviour, in the "rm -rf / and insult your mother" sense.

One thing that is so critical in RF exploring is antenna design, and you can see where the author learns that very quickly.

It's kind of like the old adage in audio where you can have the best sources, AMPs, scalers, etc... but your speakers are the crucial component.

In RF, it's really is about the antennas.
Could you share some examples of this?

I am a bit over >1 year with Rails and I don't see this to be the case. There is some "group think" perhaps, but every ecosystem has that (Whats the "pythonic" way or Java way to write x). I work at Shopify which uses Ruby and Rails extensively, and I don't think things have "gone off the rails". We use other technologies where appropriate, but for the core business logic cases, Rails is fantastic.

> For example, the analysis included multiple studies that found an association between gas cooking and respiratory disease in children but variously failed to evaluate parental smoking habits, indoor smoke, pet ownership, or outdoor pollution as other possible factors which might underlie the observed associations. In other words, we must interpret these conclusions with a high degree of caution.

A mostly correct supposition, just not “all”, obviously.

The journalists went there for the shitposting politicians and the corporations went there to “be part of the [shitposting] conversation.”

That’s not to say it’s without value. It’s highly entertaining, which is very valuable. But it is what it is.

How long have you been on Twitter? Be honest. The site has always been nonsense. What else would it be? You literally just scream into the aether. It’s an unstructured message board. It’s a public chat room. It’s a radio frequency where everyone transmits at the same time. It’s designed for shitposting.

Back in the old days you had to “raid” other forums to create controversy. It took coordination and effort. Posting was a skill. If you posted something and the thread got no replies it was kind of embarrassing. Now you just create a Twitter account in 30 seconds and you’re good to go. You just post over and over again and there’s no shame at all. It lowered the barrier for shitposting so low that even people who were borderline computer illiterate could participate. It was able to normalize the activity so much that people do it under their real name with no shame.

Those companies are a product of the last wave, when Rails was very popular in tech, especially amongst San Francisco circles. There are also a lot of examples of that size that left Rails or never jumped on that trend. This is also an argument from survivor bias. You have to count the failures too, which we don't have numbers for.

It's not that it can't scale; it's just that it's too easy to make a mess in the way, which would prevent you from doing so.

So what ends up happening is that you pay for mistakes or someone else's, but at the end of the day, you are still on your own.
Personally this only reinforces how JS should have never gotten classes.
Do such things really happen at enough scale and regularly for a company to pay a salary for it? (Note: I'm not asking if they should!) This stuff is hard and the size of entities that can be specified and verified this way is going to be tiny compared to typical deliverables outside very specialist niches I guess.

(Disclaimer: decades ago I raised seed investment from a major engineering firm to do some of this stuff, and I think that I proved to myself that getting beyond a toy was implausible. I have a licence for the Edinburgh Concurrency Workbench that I can sell you!)
I have seen that, and that's partially why it seemed so confusing to me but at least one difference is

Electricity is also a centralized protocol, prone to catastrophic failures.
This is an amazing value, well done Germany!

I think public transit has a marketing problem in the US. People don’t often realize how much more expensive the paradigm of “taxes pay for roads and individuals pay for vehicles, gas, and maintenance” can be than a paradigm of heavy public transit use. While this program for sure relies on taxpayer funding (just as road usage does, I might add), even if coupled with occasional car rentals or taxis, the all-in cost can be so much lower than having a car.

The train system is one of my favorite parts of Germany and I really wish we had something comparable in the denser parts of the US.

+1 regarding cooking gas being a minuscule amount of gas usage overall. And not to mention, gas is still the first choice for most serious cooks, so the small benefit comes at relatively large cost to lifestyle.

Regarding heat pumps phasing out gas heat, in NY it isn’t feasible. It gets too cold. In more temperate climates, sure, but in the northern US and further, there will be a need for on-demand heat for a long time to come. The heat pump is being oversold as the answer to everything, but there are use cases it doesn’t account for.

The path forward to carbon neutrality is electrification. Electrify new construction, use steam to heat them, etc. Something which addresses heat will dwarf any of the benefits from coming after people’s stovetops, at a fraction of the lifestyle cost.

It almost feels like this is something designed to turn heads; a political act focused on banning something quite popular, that everyone knows about, for very marginal benefit. It’s almost certainly not to help with “climate change”; if it were, the legislation would target non-negligible emissions sources.

The total effect on health seems rather debatable, and even if so there are better solutions (e.g. minimum ventilation requirements) for that.

Total bans on products people use and can enjoy responsibility due to potential health risks is nearly always a bad idea in my opinion. Just look at smoking in the US, for example, which recently hit an all time low. We could have gone the prohibition route (and we can guess how that would turn out), but instead we clamped down on advertising, increased taxes, and helped usher in a societal change where smoking is largely seen as unacceptable behavior by huge swaths of people now.

I live in neighbouring Luxembourg now and here it's very simple: public transportation inside the country are free. No need to register or anything: you just hop in and it's free. For tourists, for expats/residents/natives: doesn't matter, it's all free.

Income tax goes as high as 40% in Luxembourg (for the high earners) but it sure seems like people here do get a lot in return for their taxes.

You don't want perfect pitch. Various people suggested that one of my sons (aged 9) had absolute pitch, as he could remember the starting notes for pieces from memory. Unfortunately, the organ in our church is a quarter-tone sharp.

How is an all-electric infrastructure “less fragile”? I don’t see any advantage for the end user. The only thing that works during a power outage is the gas stove.

Regarding power generation, gas is cheap and plentiful and gas power plants are much easier to build than nuclear. Nuclear takes years to get regulatory approval. Anyway, no one’s building nuclear. Germany closed down their last three nuclear plants, for some reason, and California would love to close their last nuclear plant but simply can’t.
To be fair, allowing such an AI to single-handedly launch nuclear weapons would technically make it more effective.
The restrictions are regarding specifying the root folders, /emulated/0 and /sdcard as well as android/data and /obb folders. You are able to pick folders, other than data and obb, manually one by one but that would be over a hundred folders on my sdcard to use a gallery app. The /data and /obb folders are inaccessible to users even though it's in user space. As of android 13, third party apps can't open /data or /obb, you have to install an app that creates a shortcut to the hidden AOSP files app and drag/drop manually. Rooting/usb gives you access, but play store guidelines about android app api targets make things difficult for third party apps.

By "protecting" users from security threats, they are pushing power users to daily drive a rooted device, which is a bigger security risk. I expect incomplete/broken file storage access from Apple devices, not Androids.

The thing I hate the most is that certain apps only store files in their respective android/data/ folder and delete that data on uninstall. These workarounds are the only way to backup that data.

There's no meaningful way to stop him, except by infamy, and so this "order" is weak. The fault is with the sperm banks. They're taking money from people based on lies and failures to check if someone has donated elsewhere. I have my doubts that all of them uniformly screen genetics of the sperm themselves, but instead rely mostly on the truthfulness of donors' screening questionnaires. They must have a global donation database to prevent this from occurring, which itself raises privacy questions of its own. This is a moral panic and a hack that cannot be undone. If he allegedly lied on contracts, then perhaps he maybe guilty of a type of fraud.

>Young women who want kids and don't want to work tend to be shamed for this decision, while women who remain single and focus on their careers are celebrated.

That's only toxic feminism pushing for this narrative but pretty sure it's just a loud minority in certain echo chambers and not a national narrative.

Toxic feminism promotes this idea that having kids and being a caring mother means being a slave of the patriarchy and that freedom and salvation comes at spending their lives
trying to compete and beat men at their traditional role as the breadwinner.

The problem is, nature and evolution hasn't built females and males to compete against each other, but to complement each other, for procreation of the species. Once you push the sex responsible for birth to do a lot of the breadwinning, procreation of the species starts to fall apart.
So your theory is everyone who is a child of this person will be informed of that fact, and that before every one night stand all of these people will do a genetic screening before they fuck?

That just doesn’t sound very plausible to me…

blackouts are once yearly occurrences, almost always caused by natural disasters. roads are high quality and abundant. we have some of highest quality tap water in the world, which meets drinking standards even before being treated. three airports. seven major bridges. way too many highways. three world class universities. and despite what you might hear, san francisco remains one of the safest cities in the country.

If you think the natural limitation of target CPU time is enough to stop a brute force and the best description is "extremely limited", you are massively overestimating the average password.

Keep in mind there is one-ish account in this scenario.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150327031521/http://research.m...

Going by this, a huge fraction of passwords are in the 30 bit range. And lots of basic web servers can do tens of thousands up to a hundred thousand requests per second per core. Which translates to 2^35 - 2^38 attempts per month per core you saturate, if the login implementation is lazy. Let alone the very many passwords in the 20 bit tier. And I think this paper didn't even consider dictionary words in their analysis of password strength, in which case it's giving much too high ratings to lots of passwords.
