Well I haven't read those papers since they came out so I will defer to your evidently better recollection. It seems I formed an impression from what was going around on HN and the media at the time and I misremember the content of the papers.

This is a better demonstration of octave illusion, I had no clue wtf the article meant until I listened to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMMsK9rjBWo

But I heard the lower tone in the middle of my head and higher tone bouncing from left to right. Not the "low on one side, high on the other side" article mentioned.

Kinda interesting to think some people might hear completely different thing in same song...

How stupid. Someone is still paying, and making food insurable is as bad as making routine medical care insurable, it only feeds higher prices and vampiric bureaucracy. I understand the idea of trying to reframe stuff to align it with existing policy to make it more urgent. It's dishonest and needs to be opposed wherever encountered. See "clean air is a human right", "saying something I disagree with is violence", etc. This comes from the same place.

This. In our tiny company, Lowdefy, we try to distinguish when something is done as part of innovation, or as a deliverable or chore. The work that falls into the two categories are vastly different in nature, stakeholder expectations and outcomes. Being deliberate about what category of work you are busy with provides freedom to thrive when innovating required while introducing the structure needed when deadlines are on the table. Mixing the two results in frustration and reduces quality and output. I would be interested to know if this applies same to larger orgs?

Time-series features can be implemented in a general purpose DB engine, but the architecture of the database will be limiting for lots of use cases requiring performance, especially for high cardinality datasets.

A columnar database engineered from the ground up for time-series should have better foundations to allows fast ingest (to the tune of million of rows/sec per server) and also be very efficient for time-based queries that can be done via languages such as SQL.

Using QuestDB as an example: Data is stored in chronological order and is optimized for sequential ingestion with a timestamp component (re-ordering data on the fly if it comes out-of-order). The data is also partitioned by time. The InfluxDB Line Protocol is better suited for streaming type of ingest versus transactional inserts via Postgres.

I'm not sure what you mean by "slow". Can you please clarify?

Please don't take this as "you're wrong" or to somehow invalidate your experience. In the two years of running Guix as my main system, the only time I've thought something was slow was in building Chromium from source (which took all night to compile). Everything else I never noticed. Certainly not downloads. Those were fine for me both in the US and in Europe. Your experience contrasts so sharply with mine, I wonder what the difference is?
Interesting materials can be used to make all sorts of exotic, creative weapons right now. Fortunately, the people with the motivation, means and knowledge to do so are rare, and tend to not use them indiscriminately.

> it's a term pro-vaxers came up with as a pejorative term for anyone who questions the safety of any vaccine.

Anti-vax predates Covid and goes back at least to the fraud committed by Wakefield. It certainly was discussed back in the 2015 measles outbreak in Marin. I'm not letting you getting away with revisionism.

What you also selectively omit is "questioning the safety of the vaccine" at the same time as promulgating things like "taking of horse dewormer"--which is actually more dangerous than any side effects from any vaccine (kidney failure is one of the ivermectin side effects, for example). In addition, it wasn't "not take the vaccine but also take precautions" like the immunocompromised did; it was "ignore the vaccine and any and all precautions and restrictions."

The only difference with Covid anti-vax vs MMR anti-vax was that your own personal actions had a not small chance of coming home to roost directly rather than only on your children. Covid anti-vax eventually became a self-correcting problem. So it goes.

When I was 14 years old, I noticed how pure saw waves make fast transient sounds go "whooshy".

1. Play a pure saw wave sound for several seconds, it has to be loud (use headphones), then

2. hit the keyboard keys, or snap your fingers, or make other sounds with fast transients, and the transient is no longer snappy, it "whooshes". It's hard to describe but there is like a flanging effect on it.

I guess there is some scientific name for this phenomenon, but I don't know what.

Not everything is meant literally. When he says they ended up with $0 doesn't have to be $0, just hugely down and nearly worthless compared to before that was doing well.

In the same way $100M could just have been $99M or even $80M, and then $0 they started with could just as well have been $20K in savings he invested.

This is nonsense. Spacetime is a concept intrinsic to both quantum field theory and general relativity, our best physical theories. Quantum fields are defined as a value for every point in spacetime. General relativity defines gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Show me a physical theory that makes the same predictions without spacetime, and you can probably win a Nobel prize.

I have a question about the Wayback Machine that someone here might know the answer to: Sometimes a website may be imaged 10 times across the years, but hasn't changed since the first time it was crawled. Is there some system in place to avoid storing the redundant, duplicate data?
the illusion is it's perceived as the "same" note/tone. It's not, and when you dig, you can tell it's not, but when you're casually listening, your brain here's a "fuller" note for some reason. The "fuller" comes from the two octaves being played simultaneously in your seperate ear holes.

Like sleight-of-hand, you know it's there but you can't quite discern it at the time and are gladly surprised by it but you know it's not real magic.

My Dinner With Andre (1981) [full movie]
Probably not so much forcing couches and refrigerators through the drains on streets, but tossing them into the typically open air channels where storm water flows on its way from street drains to rivers or the shore.

Some places have combined sewers where storm water drains into the same underground channes and pipes as sanitary sewage; it would be hard to dump couches and refrigerators there. But that's usually seen in cities with very old infrastructure: combined sewers don't make sense when you have sewage treatment plants. During a storm you have a lot more flow, and you'll exceed the capacity of your treatment plant and have to let untreated water through. Even in separate sewers, you have higher flow in the rainy season; utility sewer pipes aren't usually sealed at connections, so if there's a lot of ground water, it leaks into the pipes and flows through; the change in volume during a storm is usually not that fast, but flow rates during the rainy season will be significantly higher than the dry season.

Sounds like Tijuana has separate sewers, but lots of unauthorized connections from indoor plumbing to the storm sewers.
I don't hear that. I hear constant low tone in both ears with only high one bouncing around (i.e the ear where high is is perceiving low one even if it is not there)

Everything that might be useful to a marginalized population should not automatically be used to rhetorically beat someone over the head in this sort of discussion.

Humans rights pov to this were not remotely part of the discussion. If you have one you think is relevant to the discussion then introduce it. The way you have tried to do so here is in the tone of “I know you think you’re trying to help but clearly your attitude is part of the problem.”

This might be acceptable if phone-hosted websites were already a well-known humanitarian & human rights issue and therefore marginalization a potential problem. As it stand though it just seems like you’re twisting the meaning of “edge case” into something that it is not.

No, it isn't. I thought it was, but it doesn't work, as mentioned in the initial post.

"You need to try A." I already tried A. My results are in the initial post.

"What about B?" I also tried B. My results are in the initial post.

"C? D? E?"

Sure, a similar situation occurred with Mao -- many followers who were afraid to criticize for too long (and many others who were not so afraid, though they are often left out because they failed to comprehensively demonize China). Does that repudiate communism in its entirety as a school of thought and action? I don't think so -- that's why I disagree with the root comment who conflated communist with Stalinist, and who was defining the bounds of (barely) acceptable opinion as (paraphrasing) "minor increase to the welfare state", with anything further being equated with Stalinism or anti-semitism. I agree there are quasi-Marxist cults, I know the story you're talking about.

(I'd argue the continued lack of development of what the "dictatorship of the proletariat" as opposed to the current "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie" can successfully look like, and how to then achieve "the withering away of the state" -- or even how to take power in the place where it's supposed to, the developed capitalist countries like Germany, without just gesturing at "the contradictions" and saying the people will get there -- that's what destroyed the Old Left communists. I have a different but no less critical appraisal of the New Left, and the Millennial Left. None of these projects even have a vision for how to get a vision for the future).
The formula for success is not a sum of factors, it's a multiplication of factors.

Yes, you need luck to be > 0. But you better have hard work also > 0, or you won't have any success anyway.

No, the sales and marketing guys are not parasites leeching off your hard work because you're the one wrinting the code. It's not S + C, it's S * C.

No, it doesn't matter how good and productive you are, if you don't know how to search for jobs, pass interviews, etc, you won't have a job.

And not wanting to work hard because "you need luck anyway" is not a winning strategy.
Ruby has a meta object protocol. The net effect of the language isn't as powerful as Common Lisp since you don't have code-as-data in method definitions, but Ruby's object system is comparably powerful as CLOS (though made in the image of Smalltalk) it comes with a meta protocol for methods, objects, classes, modules, even lexical variables.

>As space expands exponentially (as it is likely to do so in the future), failures will become relatively regular.

Or it could go the way of the airline industry where failures become less regular as the industry develops ways of systematically reducing them.

Also, nuclear rockets should probably be launched to earth orbit in pieces, separately, so that if any one launch fails it won’t create a nuclear accident in the biosphere. Then assemble and power up the nuclear rocket as far away from earth as possible.
Democrats don't mind sewage spilling into the USA? Which do you think is easier to clean up, 50M illegals or border sewage leaks?
It was actually a few months ago. They specifically took issue with the methodologies of broadband companies in measuring home internet usage speeds. When they conducted their own tests across residential America, they determined that most people were unable to connect to the internet at speeds that we’d consider broadband.

As someone who was just in the hospital for nine weeks in an area where the cell towers didn’t seem to provide anything higher than 3mbit in downtown St Louis with a >2 second lag time, I can verify that at least some Americans in my corner of the world live in places where broadband is just not a thing. And most of America is rural America.

your conclusion really depends on the AI. a billion humans put together arent as smart as the intelligence of one human multiplied by a billion. even if humans could coordinate without any friction or loss, there is no group of humans that could outsmart the machines that might emerge from these circumstances. in reality, large groups of humans are really dumb. wisdom of the crowd is narrow.

I always wonder if it's some odd thing going on in the DAW.

Would you be willing to export that track as two tracks--one with drums and one with synth? Then listen to them solo, then run them together (with WAV files instead of instrumentation)? Would be neat to have that illusion confirmed rather than it being a DAW artifact.
The problem comes from dynamism. Accessors to class slots are generic functions, and in current implementations cannot be inlined in general, as new methods can be added to them, even if the class of the argument is known statically. Even direct access to slots suffers from the effects of dynamism, since classes can be redefined at any time and the slots moved around.

So, what's needed is a general way to get efficient code for such things even in the face of dynamic redefinition. This is possible, using generated code snippets that are relinked into code when definitions change, but I don't know of any Common Lisp compiler that currently does this.

Anyone considering to switch should keep in mind that these are projects with very different philosophies.

Neovim is always chasing the shiny new things; while that's exiting it comes with breaking changes, general instability and the possibility of changes that you might not like.

Vim is the exact opposite. You can drop in a .vimrc from 20 years ago it will most likely work fine. It should be noted that this focus on stability does not necessarily constrain innovation (eg. vim9script), it just sets a conservative pace of improvements.
