The voice is the only instrument where you can "play" (sing) what note you think. So, the advantage of absolute pitch for improvisation is minimised.

However, AP would be advantage in vocal sight reading. With AP, you will never sing a wrong note, whereas a non-AP could make some mistakes, depending on how strong there musical ability/relative pitch is.

I am not sure shifting keys in singing would be hard for people with AP. Of course they would be aware of the exact new notes they would be singing whereas nonAP would simply thing "everything is X steps up/down" but relatively the same.

I don't think AP has an effect on tolerance to listening to a song in a different key, it is more your personal taste. I don't have AP, but I can tell when a song is in a different key from the original. I find it acceptable, so long as it is in tune. But I vastly prefer the original key simply due to familiarity. Also, some songs really do sound better in certain keys than others.
idk. I think if I were a kid provided with a curriculum of math, I could have grinded out many years of progress in a fraction of the time using an LLM. I would probably not have practiced the execution of curriculum, but I would have been hitting a lot of different reasoning models. The ability to ask followup questions in LLMs is great. And its proficiency in grade school math is very good.

I'd rather be able to think through vector spaces than be able to solve algebraic equations effectively and efficiently.

Not the information given to me at a parish, but you’re probably right.
American courts definitely would not. Apple itself got away with being named after Apple Corps (the Beatles’ licensing arm) until they got into music.

Also in the US we have first use, which is similar to how prior art works in patents. If Apple started selling apples, they’d be the ones at risk of losing a lawsuit.
I need to demonstrate that building emotional safety for a team involves unit cohesion?

No, I don't. Like I said, if you can't see how those two concepts connect, there's nothing here to discuss.

Also for anything I wrote to be an ad hominem, I would have needed to call you a name and also claim that, because you are that name, you are therefore wrong. I did neither, so no ad hominem occurred. There is nothing here for you to be sick of.

You can feel vaguely insulted all you want, but that's got nothing to do with what I wrote.
> We should be wary of flattening balls!

I agree.
Until today I preferred to use Fedora on desktops and RHEL/Rocky/CentOS on servers, so I'm already used to different paces of development.

But it seems Debian unstable on desktops and Debian 12 stable on servers might work just fine. Truth be told, I only need a 5.x/6.x kernel with cgroups/namespaces/ebpf on my servers and flatpak on the desktops and I'm fine.

OMG - thank you for posting this! I have sensitive feet and need a wide toe box with shoes. I'm rarely comfortable with socks on, let alone shoes. We have gloves for our hands; why not for our feet too? It's so obvious - at least now!
it’s implemented in a variety of ways, the simplest way is every parent gets an account with $X. They can then choose to spend that money on education similar to an Healthcare Spending Account.

What this results in, many schools, typically smaller. Where I’m at no one sends their kids to public schools if they’re well off. We create our own pods or select one of the larger private schools.

Really only poor people, with parents who don’t home school, send their kids to the public schools. School choice helps the poor, because it gives them the freedom of choice they wouldn’t otherwise have.

The wealthy already choose better options.

In way of example, we have 30 kids in our neighborhood. We can hire 3x teachers and build a small school house for $10-12k per student. We now have a neighborhood school and school choice would allow that.

People on this thread don’t really know what they’re talking about. Everyone in the school choice system still pays into taxes, it’s just you get a voucher / credit / account to apply to your place of choice. This allows for greater variation in education and more diversity of thought. It also reduces segregation due to redlining, etc of the past.
That's basically how EU law works.

Imagine how much easier it would be to answer that question if there was NAEP data from 2016, or if there was post-2012 data for the 17-year-old group.
Depends on where. When I lived in GA suburbs, it was about 50/50.

After that, I moved to a few large cities on both coasts(and been to plenty others), and I don't remember visiting more than one or two households where wearing shoes inside was ok. The only exception to this was when someone was hosting a large houseparty, in which case wearing shoes inside was expected about half the time (you wouldn't want your feet to make contact with whatever could be on the floor at some of those, such as occasionally spilled liquor).
Having the units listed alphabetically rather than by size is weird. "Megabits/Minute" then "Megabits/Nanosecond" then "Megabits/Second"... ugh.
Hmm... that's a clue to how I may have poorly constructed my post.

It's not very hard to spy inside a container, or even a bare-metal server if you have hardware access and the network is yours, but why would they even do that when there are a lot of very easy methods of profiling users available to them?

I didn't mention but they also use search results from google.

1) A direct contract with Kagi: Pay less for our services in exchange for user's data ("anonymized"). And google has a lot of services that Kagi may benefit greatly: servers, low latency to google search results, "personalized" google search results without ads and the various sheganigans google uses to promote websites, up to the point where all searches actually comes directly from google.

2) No contract, just get my IP and the search string the Kagi server asks of google at the same time. I don't think there are enough simultaneous searches on Kagi to actually prevent IP-to-search-string pairing. Then do the google-ad-to-IP match on the target sites that I visit.

Has anyone found a more elegant treatment of calculating with units than the HP calculators?

I'd love to have an HP48 CLI to do unit calcs with.

.5 * 10_m/s^2 * (15_s)^2 = 1125_m

Admittedly, the HPs interim results are a bit of a mess:

sqrt(6.673E-11_N*m^2/kg^2 * 5.98E24_kg / 6780_km) =
242603.08_N^.5*m/(kg^.5*km^.5)

But, this converts cleanly to m/s: 7671.8m/s

Everything else I've found have been just super fiddly.

On the annoying side, I have a 20yo email address... A CC provider notifies me every time it sees my email on a new list. But it doesn't give the origin of the list, the site(s) that were compromised, so the notification in and of itself is almost worse than useless since it's pure noise.

Almost all of my logins are generated 30-character passwords that are from/in my Bitwarden setup. I only have about 4 I have to remember (actual computer logins for work/personal and my password for Bitwarden). Exception being streaming sites (hulu, hbo max, etc) since getting 30 characters in on a TV is a pain.

I also have a host server passphrase that is words, since in the worst case, getting the random 30 was impossible in the 30s I had to enter it on a terminal view that can't paste, I had to completely reset it once (It was when first setting it up so nothing lost), but a pain.
I believe that this problem is one of sheer personal responsibility. That is, I don't really trust therapists much more than these apps. Support groups and self-help books are better but in the end, only pure "shadow work" can really save you. You must learn to be your own therapist.
they always use text that is ideally sized in mock-ups but completely falls over when real data is used in a responsive web app.

My favorite is when design adds data to a mock-up that we don't actually have. My company is, admittedly, a bit of a joke.

Also up there: design giving us mock-ups that are a composite of shit that needs done today and future shit they still haven't decided on. And then demand review approvals. No. You can't have it both ways you fucking morons. Either give me exactly what needs to be done, or you get no review rights. I'm not going to sit here for three weeks of back-and-forth while you play hunt-the-pixel and giving me hell for not matching the fog in your own head.
I campaigned to end the Blasphemy law in Ireland. This law is hoestly sickening. We all know if will be weaponised to fight culture wars and target political dissent.

I cannot wait until someone asks for the Archbishop of Dublin or the Chief Rabbi or Imam to be arrested under these laws - but they won't be of course. Taken literally it even permits people in possession of a Bible or Koran to be arrested - texts which promote slavery, murder of unbelievers and homosexuals, genital mutilation, praises genocides and the mistreatment of women and so on.

Overtime or another job?

If five fast food workers can prepare 100 meals in the time I can prepare 1, there should be some monetary savings shared with me (the customer) unless my time is truly worth close to 0. That's how economies of scale work.
While the scores do appear to reflect a real decline (ie not just noise), we are talking about a 4 & 7 point decline for reading and math respectively on a 500 point scale.

The reading scores in particular seem to reflect a fairly normal variance.

Take that into account before posting your hobby horse narrative as to why society is falling apart.
> Amazon named that process “Iliad,” which refers to Homer’s epic about the long, arduous Trojan War.

Wonder who allegorized as the customer for them, say Priam, Hector or Cassandra?

The first two are of course slaughtered, while the last is merely enslaved, IIRC. So I'd bet on Cassandra.
AI answers need to be human verified though, otherwise the machines run rampant without human oversight or a 'human in the loop'. Most AI output should be highly context specific to the task at hand, otherwise it's just noise.

it could just be as simple as a group of persons as amazon didn't want certain words associated with them on a public government document.

> "Iseman is the founder and CEO of Make Sunsets — a two-person firm that plans several more test flights this month. His start-up has triggered the worst fears of researchers who have struggled for decades to establish ground rules for solar geoengineering. The technology has almost always been seen as a last resort to counter runaway warming. Make Sunsets is not only promising to deploy this break-the-glass approach now — but to sell it for profit.

Iseman, 39, acknowledges that he is, in many ways, a geoengineering novice. A former director of hardware for the start-up incubator Y Combinator, he got interested in the subject by reading Neal Stephenson’s novel “Termination Shock.”"

Right, we already live in a post-truth world where it's politicians and journalists who omit or twist facts to support their agenda. It's not just politicians and journalists who do this, but they tend to have the most reach and influence on average.
I think this is a great line of research as it may solve the reasoning portion of AGI. The difficulty is that you would want to prove equivalence. LLMs can output stuff but for programs to execute you need to output correct stuff.

We can argue about what "woke" means in overall politics, but there certainly is a power block of Reddit mods who can fairly be described using that term. Many of them are the kind of people who are so deluded that they think Reddit is right-leaning and that anyone to the right of AOC is dangerously close to fascism.

The problem manifests itself not just when people try to post right-leaning arguments. One time I got banned from a Bernie Sanders subreddit for expressing mild criticisms of Bernie from a moderate viewpoint.

Actual right-wing viewpoints often get nuked from orbit. But political moderates are not safe either. On many subs any political view that deviates in any way from progressive orthodoxy runs a high chance of getting deleted.
> There may be SOME percentage of the 3rd party app users who transition, but if the 3rd party traffic is as trivially small as Reddit has claimed, not sure how that will overnight magically transform them into being profitable.

he said 97% of users are on the reddit app. he also said there is a significant opportunity cost to having those 3% of users not on the app. so for both of those statements to be true that 3% of users must be very active and providing a lot of content and value.
Is some places (maybe mostly in the US) it's bad. But the idea of fast food -- to have ready-cooked, mass-produced food that you can get quickly -- isn't all that bad.

Is Ekiben (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekiben) is fast food? It's ready-cooked, it's mass-produced, and you can get one very quickly. Is sushi take-out fast food?

They are still not as good as a meal that is carefully prepared by a housewife/househusband. But I do think the mass-produced substitution can be good enough, and that's why I don't think we should make the conclusion that AI therapists/companions must be so bad too early.

America funds public education locally, so you are limited to public schools that you can attend by what schools are being funded by your property taxes. Some districts setup public choice schools in their districts, especially if the districts are large (e.g. Seattle, my son goes to an area choice school). Some states will also provide more equity to school districts (Washington state shifts education funding to east of the mountains from much richer Seattle area school districts), but in general you still aren't allowed to attend schools outside of your district without some kind of exception.

Education is also governed largely locally with a few state/federal standards in the background that are often not seen as a good thing (e.g. Bush's No Child Left Behind).
