Yep, I've been recommended Hazel before, but I like the control I get with the AppleScript. In particular I like the higher cadence of sweeps, mine does my desktop, downloads, and documents folders, and mine will ignore a file if it has a label, so I can easily keep things if I want.
That's what people used to say when we got 1GB of RAM :) Turns out, we just fill it with more files of higher resolution/fidelity, rather than optimize for speed/performance, in most use cases.

My 90 year old mother can't use a smartphone. She'd book rideshare rides if she could do it over a voice phone.
I was robbed once in Spain, lost my laptop, tablet and passport. Thankfully, I retained my smartphone which made everything a lot easier to deal with. For instance, the local consulate was super helpful in getting me issued a temporary passport but I would have had a hell of a time even finding her without my phone.

Hmm, I always disliked coordinate approach to (multi)linear algebra. To me, the notion of a tensor product clicked with the following definition:

Tensor product v₁⊗v₂ of vectors form V is bilinear form on the dual space V* defined by v₁⊗v₂(ω₁,ω₂) = v₁(ω₁)v₂(ω₂). Tensor product V⊗V is space of all bilinear forms on V*,

This can easily be generalized to products of forms (covariant tensors), and mixed tensor products. Getting coordinate representation in basis (E₁ ... Eₙ) is trivial: (v₁⊗v₂)ₖ,ₗ = v₁⊗v₂(εₖ,εₗ) where εₖ is dual to Eₖ...

I'm in favor of meat consumption because I believe that cows deserve to live. Without us eating their meat, much fewer cows would be born. I believe that cows are our friends, we need them and they deserve to be given a chance at life and a noble death... When death cometh for them (with a little help from our friendly local butcher), their bodies ought to be respectfully incinerated and then buried between two buns along with a slice of cheese and ketchup.
It goes without saying you shouldn't imitate the style of other people but have your own. Also, there's actually a feeling of joy in writing good prose and seeing the result, which is something I never mastered in English, as evidenced for example by my repeated use of "but", but (yeah..) kind of did in my native language.

On the other hand, as the study clearly describes, there are numerous factors in complication and outcome post-op; for example, the patient understanding their discharge instructions. If female surgeons are, on average, better at communicating those instructions, it will necessarily lead to less readmission and complication.

Instead of immediately looking for reasons why men are actually better in spite of the study and in spite of knowing little about the subject matter, it might behoove you to not simply assume that your trivial case wasn’t accounted for by people who understand their subject quite well, and read the rest with an open mind.

> Tensor product is basically the mathematical way to express if condition.

Not really, no. The way mathematicians actually express if conditions is with the word "if". The obvious pointlessly formal way to do it is with a pair of functions `ThingConditionedOn -> {0, 1}` and `{0, 1} -> Result`, but why would you?

> dealing with tensor matrix is simply a waste of memory since 90% of the time people are dealing with sparse system.

Tensors are not their components, any more than locations are their coordinates. Whether you choose a sparse or dense (or symbolic) encoding does not change the object being encoded.

Disney Is Finally Dead (The Film Theorists)
If you compare codebases, SuperCollider is definitely the more "modern" of the 2. SC is written in a reasonably modern version of C++, and over the years has gone through significant refactoring. Csound is mostly implemented in C, with some of the newer bits written in C++. Many parts of Csound have been virtually untouched since the 90s.

Syntax-wise, Csound very closely resembles the MUSIC-N language used by early computer musicians in the 60s. "Trapped in Convert" by Richard Boulanger was written in Csound in 1979, and to this day is able to run on the latest version of Csound.

Both Csound and SC are both very capable DSP engines, with a good core set of DSP algorithms. You can get a "good" sound out of both if you know what you are doing.

I find people who are more CS-inclined tend to prefer SuperCollider over Csound because it's actually a programming language you can be expressive in. While there have been significant syntax improvements in Csound 6, I'd still call Csound a "text-based synthesizer" rather than a "programming language".

That being said, I also think Csound lends itself to those who have more of a formal background in music. Making an instrument in an Orchestra is just like making a synthesizer patch, and creating events in a Csound score is just like composing notes for an instrument to play.

FWIW, I've never managed to get SuperCollider to stick for me. The orchestra/score paradigm of Csound just seems to fit better with how I think about music. It's also easier to offline render WAV files in Csound, which was quite helpful for me.

Worst experience was at Stansted airport. We had a very early flight home so we decided we can drop off our car at the airport in the evening and stay at the Holiday Inn Express (worst hotel experience ever, but that's another story) ~500m away from the car rentals. There is no footpath at all. You would have to frogger over the airport access road after walking on the curb.
So we had to take the bus from the rental yard back to the terminal and pay 5 pound each for the transfer bus to the hotel.
You have to add in the costs of health insurance premiums/deductibles/out of pocket maximums to get to a sort of comparable figure.

Easily $400 to $1,200 per person per month depending on age, plus probability of $3k to $7k deductible, plus probability of $5k to $10k out of pocket maximum.

Although, US pay statistics exclude the employer subsidized portion of the health insurance premiums (usually ~70%), but they also exclude the monetary cost of the volatility due to it being tied to your employment.

Also, these costs will be more heavily subsidized by employers for higher paid populations, and less subsidized for low paid populations.

You can't copyright the GPS coordinates of cities, because those are facts. The data would be the same whether you compiled it or not, and it would be absurd to grant someone a monopoly on that data.

FWIW, before the debacle, even the (apparent) author of it appears to have admitted that it flaunted copyright:

I’d be mad rich if not for my stinkin’ conscience. Doing evil is where all the money is, always has been. I need a pill so I can quite my conscience and get on with getting rich.

Nature knows no morals, so I guess acting without morals is a more natural state, thus provides fewer constraints.

Morals and ethics are purely human constructs, thus to follow your conscience is to be more human and less inhumane. That makes me feel good. Maybe we need a pill to improve one’s ability to hear their conscience.

I'm on the fence about the scoring system.

You're really being tested on (at least) 4 different things:

(1) whether you think an LLM can answer the correctly

(2) whether the answer has appeared in the training set

(3) how much non-determinism will play a role in the LLM response (i.e. 0-shot capability)

(4) how rational you're feeling that day (or, how well educated you are in statistics)

I was familiar with many of these questions in my own experience, and have seen completely different outcomes from what the quiz determined was the correct answer. I agree with others here that non-determinism can really mess things up here and is really assessing a 0-shot score, which IMO understates how LLMs are actually used (iterative enhancements, many-shot Q&A).

Finally, the scoring system tickled my ego and encouraged me to try to make up for prior errors, with disastrous effects (I was well aware that I should just go with 0.5 when uncertain):

> You answered 53.57% of questions correctly with an average log-loss of 1.233. This means you would have scored better by just leaving your guesses at 50% for every single question.

> On average there were 71.22% of people who did better at this game than you... If you had been better calibrated, you could have scored in the top 14.09% [1]

The site implicitly acknowledges it's a questionable scoring mechanism when it points out:

> there are 78.09% of people who performed worse than if they had never changed the default predictor away from 50-50 for each question

If there is a simple way to game the scoring, then you can't know if the score is accurately reflecting people's confidence, or just their rationality/statistical knowledge.

I'm a fresh engineering graduate looking to kickstart my professional career in software development. For past few months I have been doing frontend web development and got a grip on Typescript and React. Created some nice projects.
Don't think it has worked though. People in generally don't seem to give a shit. Everyone is worried about day to day stuff - the price and availability of housing (getting kind of stupid now), inflation, job security, trouble with neighbors, ... etc.

Personally, the only good thing about Singapore is its relatively good governance - which covers a lot but it's not perfect; e.g. housing.

For me, remove that and its just an island in the Pacific.

If I'm supposed to be feeling some sort of patriotic zeal, it hasn't happened yet. But maybe that's because I'm a bitter old man living in a rented one room flat who is now really feeling the apparent temperature of 32C at 09:45pm.
So instead of justifying your assertion that Trump voters want to make the USA exactly like Saudi Arabia, you changed the topic to a matter of election security. You haven't done much to assuage the parent comment's claim that these fears are delusional. Asking for an investigation to ensure the integrity of the election does not equal an overthrow of a democratically elected government.

Don't think that your careful wording around "people died defending" helps conceal the reach you're making. ONE "defending" police officer died of a heart attack - no court of law would hold someone responsible for a death like that. The three other deaths were pro-Trump protesters fighting for a fair election. I watched members of a certain political party mock the deaths of Trump supporters while they happened live on January 6th - who was it you were saying wanted the US to be more like Saudi Arabia?

There have been efforts to address this. Several states have adopted independent redistricting commissions. The Congressional Democrats have also made several attempts to pass legislation making political gerrymandering illegal, but have been unsuccessful at changing the law.

> […] the continued existence of gerrymandering is truly mind-boggling.

Some people have an explicit goal of increasing gerrymandering:

> REDMAP (short for Redistricting Majority Project) is a project of the Republican State Leadership Committee of the United States to increase Republican control of congressional seats as well as state legislatures, largely through determination of electoral district boundaries. The project has made effective use of partisan gerrymandering, by relying on previously unavailable mapping software such as Maptitude to improve the precision with which district lines are strategically drawn.[1] The strategy was focused on swing blue states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin where there was a Democratic majority but which they could swing towards Republican with appropriate redistricting. The project was launched in 2010 and estimated to have cost the Republican party around US$30 million.[2]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDMAP

Certain people want to implement their desired (economic, social) policies, and they need to attain political power to do that, so if the majority of voters do not want those policies, they will ignore / go around the majority to get things done.

The framers made the electoral college system to reduce the impact of populous states and raise the impact of less populous states so everyone gets an equal voice. Without it, you would get heavily populated states like New York and California dictating policy for the rest of the country.

And what we now have is low population states thwarting the will of the majority due to their numbers in the senate. It’s a major power imbalance. Every time a Democrat is elected President Texas legislators threaten to secede. At some point California and others will also start threatening this unless the power structure is rebalanced.
To me it sounds very self conscious, just like a high schooler or youthful university student who has not yet found an authentic voice but wants to sound literate. So probably more about the "high school" than the "Indian" part of your observation. I didn't finish the article.
