> Because your hypothetical was specifically about someone who doesn't do productive work?

That's anybody who has enough money that they don't have to work. It doesn't tell you anything about where they got it.

> You're begging the question - why was it your money in the first place?

What if you found it in the street? Would that affect whether or not the business you invest it in produces a net positive as a result?

> But if it's just privilege that you had, then you don't get any credit for allowing it to be used productively.

That doesn't seem right. You could have spent it on drugs and sex. Your choices matter.

> If you do something that produces real value in the world then that's positive sum - if you turn some planks and nails into a table, that table is more valuable than the stuff that went into it, the world is better off.

Suppose the planks are the status quo. You're getting paid $10/hour to make tables. Now you get a raise and get paid $12/hour to make tables, but you still only make exactly the same number of exactly the same tables as you did for $10/hour. The extra $2/hour is zero sum, isn't it? Why should you get it instead of the boss or the customer?
I suspect it’s more a problem about longevity of the artifacts, rather than lack of talent or knowing one can pick up some mud and form a shape.

They had very similar general intelligence and talents as us, at that time, and tens of thousand of years before. Today, it’s not terribly hard to find artistic kids who can mold extremely good faces, ponies, or whatever else they choose, from a lump of play dough. I assume artistic people existed then too, with comparable talent and frequency, unless there was some catastrophic non-artist pruning that happened very very recently.
>PCM is also a lossy compression due to the quantization step

Wrong, especially today. Modern ADCs use oversampling to push quantization noise into the inaudible range, and then filter it out before decimation to standard PCM.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice_...

There have been various efforts to bring LibreOffice to the web, but I haven’t tested anything in a long time, so I can’t say if it works well.
As you said yourself, it was most likely a rendering issue. A bad low-pass filter would have attenuated the high-end when converting to 44khz. Also, this is afaik the reason why all modern audio uses 48khz, you get a little bit more head-room when designing a low pass filter and you can even choose a less aggressive and perhaps less computationally expensive one that still won't have an effect on the humanly perceptible frequencies.
Your argument is incoherent. You’re saying deaths is an irrelevant metric because actually the risk is the medical system collapses and you get … more deaths.

As far as JPMC goes, insider threats are the biggest threats they face. It makes sense from a security/compliance standpoint to "spy" on your employees, to a degree. Imagine if you could spy on your biggest enemy. You'd be dumb not to.

There are limits to everything, but for finservs, there's a reason why they do these things.

This is why in-line search ads are simply evil. They get their click through rate from fooling people, not from convincing them to click an ad on purpose. Which, aside from that being evil already, also makes them super-useful to scammers, since a high percentage of clicks are from people who think they clicked an organic search result.

If Sony has a major online multiplayer title coming out, I can't blame the approach for those particular games even though I'm not the biggest fan of the trend.

But if they're lowering investment in their bread and butter - world class single player titles - that would be hard to believe. Sony would be killing the golden goose.

Their closest competitor console-wise is Microsoft. Sony's one differentiator is that they produce way higher quality first party titles, many story driven. Nintendo would quite literally be walking away with an uncontested W if this happened.
I don't doubt the symptoms, but I think there's always been a percentage of the population that suffers from these types of symptoms. They get rediagnosed as the latest thing every so often, and the latest one is Long COVID. Even if COVID is a trigger (and really any illness could be), there's probably something else underlying all of these.
How FastStream benefits from the usage of asyncio? Is it able to concurrently process another message while a message awaits for I/O operation? Is this the default behavior, or does it requires some parameter tweak? Does it behaves differently when using FastStream as a FastAPI plugin/addon? I've being using Propan for a while, and planning to move to FastStream asap. Great tool btw, thank you for all your combined effort now. Congrats!
They may be more affluent than Indians back home, but many start at the bottom of the ladder in America. Asians are actually the highest poverty rate group in NYC. But Asian income mobility from the bottom of the income distribution is about 2.5x the income mobility of white Americans.

Also don’t forget that many East Asians came here as laborers and railroad workers in the 1800s and early 20th century, and as refugees in the 1950s-1980s. Third generation California Chinese, or Vietnamese, are also more affluent than white Americans today, for reasons that have nothing to do with immigration of affluent individuals.
Selling at a $0 loss is always preferable to selling at a $1,000 loss, which takes $1,000 off your income, saving a marginal 43% rate of $430. You still lose $570. Tax loss harvesting is about capturing the loss and immediately moving into similar assets, so you book the income tax reduction now and postpone your eventual lower base sale. That is useful for things like similar ETF's, not unique assets like Marin Software equity.
I noticed that too!
You clearly didn’t live where I did.

Fascinating how natural it comes to us: “my experience must be everyone’s experience.”
Yea, this is one of the sad long term consequences I've taken away from COVID: I used to think that when a crisis happened, we would all pull together and rely on each other to do the right thing and collectively act to help.

Now, I know that when the next crisis happens, half of the country is going to whine and complain, deny, protest, defy, and belligerently do everything in their power to deliberately make it worse. I've totally lost faith in humanity.

> what rule can never be broken under any circumstances?

Precisely.

Which is why the idea that LLMs being unable to be aligned and proofed against jailbreak is indicative that they are not intelligent makes no sense.
I don't claim to have golden ears but I am a picky listener. I've been pretty satisfied with good MP3 encodings like 320kb/s though I'm not sure I'd agree they're indistinguishable.

I had an experience I mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, about hearing a difference between 24bit 96 kHz and CD-quality in a sound studio. I don't know whether the operator screwed up or what. It doesn't mean I don't think CD quality is "good enough". But that's not the same question as "non-discernable".

On the other end, I have had a few encounters with satellite radio (SiriusXM) and I cannot understand how that product exists. In each car I've encountered it, I've had a visceral reaction and wanted it turned off after a few minutes of trying to listen to it. It put me somewhere between anhedonia and dysphoria.

Letterboxd Owners Sell Out for $50M
I agree with you. I submit that it is notoriously difficult to get humans to follow specific instructions universally as well. Never mind rule breakers, even cooperative humans are frequently poor at following directions. Human error is prevalent. Ever screwed up or wasted hours while assembling furniture? You can have all the time in the world, all the necessary resources, have relevant prior experience and a set of step-by-step instructions with diagrams and everything, and it can still be a mess.

Ambiguity of language and biased assumptions play a large role in these mistakes and I think both of those are outgrowths of intelligence. As we see more of how the world works, we learn what to generally expect from it and what it generally expects from us. Then we interact with the world based on a set of predictions that generally holds true but not always. Being given explicit instructions helps to inform those predictions, but it doesn't actually eliminate the need for them.

I wonder, can one be intelligent without the ability to predict? Every action would be a rigorous processes of elimination for infinite possibilities.
isn't there a technology that wants to replace email that does this? I can't remember the name.
The rumour was that there was an organised gang who would load a van up with stolen bikes in Oxford, drive to Cambridge, sell them to students there, then steal a load of bikes in Cambridge to sell in Oxford.

At one point IIRC Peas Hill in Cambridge, a short street near the market square with a lot of bike racks, had more crimes recorded than any other street in the country- almost all bike thefts.
Ah you're right. It still breaks the "even division" argument though.
This is just a symptom of a bigger problem. Once you get to a certain age, you essentially become mentally disabled to varying degrees. Society at large is still pretending that this isn’t a problem
reminds me of the time in student residence where we were wolfing down a piece of ham, when someone turned it and it was green on the other side. no casualties, not even food poisoning. nothing a couple of bottles of wine could not cure.
/k/ is full of pro-Ukraine glowies so maybe try that board first.

Otherwise it's more balanced. /pol/ has both /uhg/ (Ukrainian Happening General; mostly pro Ukraine) and /chug/ (Comfy Happening in Ukraine General; pro Russian).
/chug/ as its name implies is more comfy and has anime girls. /uhg/ is quite nasty and mostly posts gore of Russian soldiers.
This works until it doesn't. A classic example of someone that would want this 99.99% of the time but find the remaining 0.01% a showstopper might be a new parent. Blocking all the solicitors, scams, strangers, salespeople et al sounds great - until your kid is lost, finds a friendly adult with a cell phone, tries to call you, and can't get through because nobody that isn't on the whitelist can reach you. (Yes, we still have our kids memorize our phone numbers, or write them on labels with the kid.). It also doesn't really get better as you get older - if you're 70 years old and your 40-year-old kid is in a car accident and the doctor's trying to reach you, you would probably want to know.
While I’m a democrat, I don’t believe republicans or democrats are inherently better people, or that their overarching ideologies are inherently better. In fact I am a strong believer that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and neither republicans or democrats should win it all.

That said, certain Republicans should very much feel shame about the fear mongering behind the vaccine. It isn’t automatically a hot take or a lightning rod to use statistical analyses to suggest that systemic fear mongering against a vaccine that has a powerful effect would lead to excess death.

The vaccine long ago became a political issue, but the real world need for people to take it doesn’t go away because of that.

I’m making up an example. But the gist is that we have an ordered list of things that apply stress to the healthcare system and we basically move the cut-off up or down that list depending on how our healthcare resourcing is working out.

Do we need to call in military hospital ships? Maybe we do stuff that reduces communication of disease, reduces driving to reduce road accidents, etc.

Where I live it was communicated more than once, “avoid doing riskier things this holiday season because the emergency services you expect to be available may not be.”

You're incorrect. A 44.1kHz sample rate can recreate a 22.05kHz sine wave. Your mental model for a digital signal isn't correct. It's not making stair steps nor is it making triangular waves.

And without use from heavy trucks and huge volumes from city traffic, the roads in suburbs last for decades, what's your point?
Why does dithering sacrifice "effective sampling frequency"? You're just adding extremely small amounts of white noise to reduce quantization distortion or (in more advanced cases) noise with a power spectrum that puts the power of the noise mainly in parts of the audio spectrum that humans hear poorly.
Do you know what else is a "resource"? Timber. Ask the tree how it feels about that.

The article doesn't distinguish between UV, visible, and IR. Red light and infrared have known direct biological effects as well. Could the benefits of sun exposure be due, in part, to red and IR? Vitamin D is UV dependent, but you can probably get some benefits of other wavelengths without UV exposure. However, it is possible that synergy exists among the various biological responses to different wavelengths.

I suppose it's privilege escalation in some sense.

There's a chance the perpetrator has simply compromised a legitimate copyright authority's account.

It's definitely disturbing that "basically anyone" has the capability to participate in this sort of censorship though.
Effect on health? Social life? Career?

That doesn't make a lot of sense. The impact on health is transitory and most women recover just fine after birth. Social life can actually get better when it expands to other parents. Career? I guess if your goal is to grasp the golden ring that's true.

But my god, surely our lives have more meaning than living as long as possible, maintaining the social life we had in our 20's as long as possible, and dedicating our lives to our careers.

Yikes, I'm not sure how accomplished and how satisfied with my life I'd be if I got to my 90's and successfully fulfilled those goals. I'd feel rather empty to me honest.

But this opinion seems very common on social media. It's like there is no worthy goal in life beyond optimizing health, eating at trendy restaurants and becoming CEO.
Our weather forecasting agencies also forecast UV exposure, it gets reported as the "UV Index"
Gravity. The entire dark matter theory is based around the observation that current mass/gravity models don't match our observations in the cosmos. As the Higgs field is what gives particles mass, it stands to reason that dark matter does interact with gravity -- it's pretty much the sole reason for its theoretic existence.

In other words, if dark matter didn't interact with/through the Higgs field, it wouldn't explain the observational anomalies and therefore wouldn't have a reason to exist at all, not even in theory.
No, they're saying that excess deaths is a rearward looking metric that nobody had the luxury of actually having at the present time when decisions were being made.

It's very easy to make decisions in retrospect when you have all the information that could be useful. It's very hard to make decisions in the present when that information doesn't exist yet.

> If we invest more in public transit we can reduce our need for cars.

No we can't. It takes 30 minutes to get to the airport for me by car - even during rush hour, or 1.5 hours by express bus.

Or for a friend of mine - 40 minutes by car, or 2 hours by train + bus.

Sorry, but there's no fix you can apply to public transport that will fix this.

Public transport is also more expensive - I took a group to Washington D.C. by metro - it cost around 5x as much as driving did (we drove the next day) including paying for parking. And the metro was far far slower.

I wonder about index funds as well. How much are we entrenching the top 500 companies by having everyone buying the S&P500? What kind of advantage does number 500 have over 501 just by being included in the index?

Companies need to be able to fail and turnover with newer and better ones but the whole economy seems pegged to the biggest ones staying at the top, deserved or otherwise. Should we ban index funds? (spontaneous question, not suggestion)
In the post truth era, the only rights answer is the one that serves one’s geopolitical goals. Don’t like China, look at what zéro Covid did to their economy. Don’t like America, look at all the people who died. Is it even possible to find an acceptable subjective answer when things are polarized?

People who use “logic” and “evidence” usually tend to do so in a manner so out of context and so obstinately, it tends to negative the validity of their points, at least that is my experience.

Instagram for me. I don't use it much but have a few friends who message through it, or at least send some memes. If I enable notifications for that, I get daily notifications that someone I might know has joined Instagram, someone I know posted to their story...

IDK, seems fine, ambiguities and all. Not everything has to be, or can be, math or formal logic to be useful for communication.
This is not that (or it's an extreme special case of that); I'm talking about the thing the grandparent link is suggesting, representing amplitudes below 1 by having the sample sometimes be 0 and sometimes be 1. If you represent a waveform that should be 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0 0 0 0 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0 0 0 0 by doing 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0, then yes you've increased your effective bit depth by 1, but you've halved your effective sample frequency.
In many graduate academic contexts, it is standard procedure for applicants to cold-email a PDF copy of their resume to prospective advisors, who then open said PDF and read it.

There was a competition held a while back called Decompetition (https://decompetition.io/) in the same spirit: given a bunch of compiled programs, write the source code that compiles to the same (or very close) binary.

Most languages/compilers were quite reasonable to work with. Swift had some issues where the line number of the source statement mattered (it would be integrated into inline error reporting routines), and compiled Nim code was just really hard to read. The brutal one was Golang: the register allocator seems to depend on the ordering of the local symbol table, meaning that changing the name of a variable could end up changing which registers got used for completely unrelated variables.

In any case, it was an interesting exercise which demonstrated that full, 1:1 decompilation is really possible. I'm super happy to see a proper use-case for this approach implemented here!
Another abuse of the rules that would get any small developer banned from the app store with no ability to do a human appeal, while the giants are allowed to break as many rules as they want. (Except trying to dodge Apple's percentage take on in app purchases).
