I'm an experienced musician and this really resonates with me. It's possible to see a scale written out in the score and know exactly what that means in terms of how it's supposed to sound, what fingering I should use, and whether there are any "aberrant" notes in there that I should watch out for. The same goes for many other common note patterns. Trying to decode something like this into something that makes sense to me musically is a huge additional burden that doesn't exist. That said, having been through the journey of being able to sight read music myself and then trying to teach it to a number of people, I agree that reading a score in real time is one of the greatest hurdles to beginner and intermediate players alike, and probably a huge impediment to many people learning to play a variety of instruments.

There is one particular instance in which getting away from traditional notation can help. I have absolute pitch, and I've played transposing (woodwind) instruments before. The mental link between specific finger positions and specific tones / notes on the score, is one that causes me untold issues with transposing instruments. If I could just focus on the finger positions without the distraction of the score, that would help me. I don't think this is a common problem though.
I don't think a tax like this would have the intention you think. It would likely increase outsourcing, massively benefit large corporations who can afford to absorb the fees (and have better accountants/lawyers compared to startups), destroy the tax base of cities (after the companies flee to business friendly states), shut down tons of small business that rely on commuters/workers (like restaurants, bars, cleaning staff, etc). Believe it or not, many people like to see their co-workers daily and don't view going to an office as a crime against humanity. This forum skews heavily towards the opposite view obviously.

Absolutely not true and this is simply American propaganda. The truth is American insurance industry is an extremely inefficient middleware that makes everything more expensive and worse than other developed countries. [1]

Not to mention it's complete lunacy to think taxes are low in the US. I live in US but also pay taxes in a different country (that I'm a citizen of) that has healthcare and all the Federal tax I pay to US is significantly more (the other country is a fraction of fraction of US taxes). Not to mention, US taxes are extraordinarily, out-of-this-world level complicated if you have foreign assets so you pay thousands of $$$ to a CPA as well.
The problem with this is remembering what you want to play, for pieces of any length and complexity. The comparison in that case is not talking, but reciting a long poem/article/novel.

... and when you don't you drive up the probability of enabling the 4-stage attack that leaks private keys to Chines govt. Of course the probability is only 0.01% and it's worth to spend time on something better. And when you do check and other 1000 devs in the organization don't, what's the point, right?

>> you don't have to shove this complexity into the protocol level when it runs natively on a distributed/federated infrastructure

> But I don't want to trust my community to someone providing me infrastructure.

I mean, that's always the case in the end, isn't it? Your identity is tied to your server, and that's pretty much what defines the whole thing as being a federation and not P2P (that applies equally for XMPP as for Matrix).
As long as migrating from provider to provider is easy and convenient (which amounts to acknowledging that all providers eventually come and go, what centralized service users are in denial about), I don't see it as being a fundamental issue.

It's also easier to mitigate this aspect in XMPP-world where being your own provider is orders of magnitude easier and cheaper compared to running a matrix homeserver and federating at scale.

Also, talking about infrastructure, the situation is quite worrisome in the case of Matrix, I'd say: only one entity is competent enough (or has enough cash committed) to running large-scale: new vector. And it runs that of matrix.org, kde.org, fedora.org, mozilla.org, …. It also happens to be the one specifying and implementing the (incompletely documented) protocol, conveniently.

It's a very very hard problem to crack. They've been at it for 10 years across many iterations of the protocol: https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I like to think that it can be solved the same way I want to have closure about P=NP, but I also challenge that this is a meaningful and practical approach in this context.

> This is true, as I said users are federated and suffer if their homeserver goes down. But it is a huge difference to be able to set up a second account on a second server and continue participating rather than needing to convince a large group of people to switch to a different room.

Yup, and that's all pretty and neat in theory. In practice it happens every so often that rooms just break for inexplicable reasons, and that people must migrate anyway. Not all members do, because for some, everything still looks like business as usual (happened again few months ago with the 3D Printing space), and trust me, this is much more eventful and disruptive than freenode committing seppuku once every quarter century, or with large XMPP networks going under.
> Alyx was really good but inherently niche given its focus on VR

I'm being pretty critical of Valve on here in other places, but I would say that taking the time to make an excellent game even though a platform is niche and even though that game is essentially just a hardware advertisement and even though that advertisement isn't likely to move that platform to be non-niche to me shows a strong commitment to good game design.

Alyx didn't really need to exist I don't think. I don't think it moved the needle on making VR any less niche. I don't see it as a good economic move. And yet it's arguably one of the best shooters on VR.

I do think they're a lot less interested in game development than they used to be, I do have criticisms of some of their monetization schemes, but whenever they do get interested in games enough to actually make something, they seem to do a pretty good job of it. Even with Artefact, I'm not sure if the game was bad as much as just part of a crowded market and burdened with Valve's (admittedly awful) monetization philosophies for games as a service.
On the other hand, pedaling a bicycle, or pushing a car is a lot of work.

It's not ridiculous until you compare against people doing it manually.

also, teslas are really quite efficient and it's amazing how they recover energy as well.

I wonder if there are efficiencies to be had recovering energy to come, since they can only recover what the batteries can absorb.

I cant promise anything, especially as i am still pondering the overall scope of the project, but if this turns into something i will hopefully make contact.

I am still considering the benefits and possibility of upfront structuring of information, knowledge, certainty and errors but information- and complexity overload is a real pain. Which also means i am keeping a bit of a distance to committing to how the end result should look. Especially as this is one of these projects that needs to be effortlessly integrated into an individuals existing process to be usable. At which point you might as well improve that process while you are at it.

Your approach on the other hand sounds quite practical, lets say combined with some hypertext structure like project xanadu or the hover boxes of lesswrong. The question would be how good the results get. Anyway, good luck, i think this could be quite beneficial.

Projects/Concepts you might (not) find interesting:

* Taiwan has a process called gov0 (gov zero), a communication channel aimed at re-framing proposed laws in a way that allow for reaching consensus. Currently done manually but consensus finding seems to be a key part of communication.

* Cognitive sciences / biases / warfare / behavior therapy. As well as processes aimed at capturing the human error, like crew resource management for pilots. All concerned with errors in our own perception and thinking
* Juliane Gallinas TED talks

* Ontology vs epistemology, quite important for people with a CS background in my experience. I like to think of it in terms of complexity reduction in the context of information theory similar to an analog digital converter.

* The 5 level explanation series from WIRED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raHM3k-uR0E

Especially the last one is a great example that communication is likely not a matter of finding THE description, but one of connecting your perspective to a topic/concept. Here it works through iterative reduction/increase of complexity, but working from related concepts should also be possible. Lets say one explanation for an engineer and one for a psychologist.

The post itself is also a good example for the the difficulty of communicating (after identifying and isolating) what is relevant and the necessity to cut what isnt. Which will differ depending on ones perspective and goals. I suspect the same effect does occur if you ask people to define the vocabulary they use themselves. Thus the focus on agreeing on the meaningful difference/overlap instead.

You are a very rare customer. Most people take a break after driving for a few hours. Might as well charge the car. A fast charge speed that lets you drive a few hours on 30mins of charging and you don’t really need more battery capacity than that. Which is pretty much what new EVs already offer. It’s more likely that the cars will start getting lighter as the battery tech improves, a 600mile battery capacity really wouldn’t make a lot of sense for most customers.
Why would we want to make more billionaires?
You’d think they could at least train GitHub Copilot to test run the workflow and point out immediate issues.

We have to add an action to kill duplicate runs on triggers.

The caching is marginal, at least on Windows runners because it takes forever to expand the tar ball. Not even sure from their docs / issues on the cache action if they did finally move it to use GNU tar.

Having some way to get an interactive shell on fail would be a big step up for debugging issues. Otherwise we are back to print debugging in the actions or uploading artifacts at each step so we can inspect them.

> Senator Bob Menendez was just indicted for taking bribes from people connected with the Egyptian military

At a federal level law/power is continually traded for cash/favors. Heck, DoJ itself gets deployed in response to lobbyist demands (eg:copyright enforcement).

From what I see this case was egregious and involved a non-favored foreign state. Maybe that's the bar at which DoJ begins to care about political ethics.
Most banks/CC have some sort of export - be it in CSV, OFX, Quicken, etc. Then you import it using your financial story.

The real pain is in the categorization (was this Groceries, Supplies, Dining, Medical Expense)?

I use KMyMoney which usually picks the same category as the last transaction from the same place. Saves some of the work, but it's still painful. I then wrote a script to export from KMyMoney to ledger format.
> But some people need to be around other people more or less all the time to be happy.

That's fine, but no one is obligated to spend time with them. They need to be more convincing or charismatic then to get people to spend more time with them. "If you don't endure a commute to spend time with me, I won't be happy" won't cut it.

I'd have a lot of uses for that. But also worry about it enabling more stringly-typed code.
The technical reason it can't be done (or would be very difficult to do) is that weights are typically very uninterpretable. There aren't specific clusters of neurons that map to one concept or another, everything kind of does everything.
This really would not have been true for vendor network gear of the sort AWS had been buying for years by 2014. It's possible that their own switches or the weird fabric they have internally wouldn't have worked with v6, or there were Annapurna NIC ASIC issues, but their primary vendors all would have been fine.

I'm not saying there aren't v6 issues (for some vendors, resource exhaustion might have come into play) or bugs, but there's no way it's that massive a problem. There are huge and complex all v6 networks all over the planet that have more stringent requirements (by law) than AWS DCs.
It really sounds that way, FYI. I interpreted it as a dig at LetsEncrypt in particular.

I don't see GP claiming CAs should be checking reputability for domain issuance certificates. But the thread originator mentioned subverting CAs! Something to remember about even the most advanced attackers is that they value the continued effectiveness of their tactics, tools and procedures. Even nation-states in possession of CA subversion abilities won't burn their malicious CA on someone if they can conduct the attack with a legitimately-issued certificate, and they won't bother with a legitimately-issued cert if they can conduct the attack without even involving a CA.

I recently implemented SQLite for a metadata application at work. My constraints in design were pretty concise; the application will only ever need to scale vertically, my data persistence story is a matter of speed and accessibility over longevity, I have plenty of options for scaling disk IO, and my read performance is much more paramount than write performance.

The outcome is that my persistence later is not adding $200/m immediate service overhead cost and my deployment was easy to manage, which is a strong promise made to the rest of the team. I think there's a place for SQLite, but just like any tool you need to know that your design constraints match the constraints of the tool.

Replying to myself but also, they could easily trick you into clicking some link and exploiting you that way. HTTP isn't the issue here, it's just being exploited so they don't have to get you to click some link.

In all likelihood they'd do that if the less direct/obvious method of transmission didn't work.
Relational DBs often involve duplication for these kinds of use cases. Simple case-insensitive match can be handled with a custom index that's automatically derived from the col data, but there are more advanced cases where you need manually denormalized tables. Or sometimes it makes sense for performance reasons, but you only do this after you notice the normalized way being too slow.

It's almost as if it's a well established political tactic to give an unrealistic early deadline in order to light a fire under people's bottoms, only to extend it as the date edges closer. Almost as if this is what governments do as standard operating procedure, in order to get the ball moving.

I for one, am surprised.
