Ever since the pandemic I noticed a change in how people communicate online socially. No one wants to text FaceTime or whatever. People are sick of virtual spaces. I think metaverse style solutions truly is the future. Look at lex Friedman podcast with mark the stuff meta is working on is AMAZING too bad it’s being done by meta… hard to trust their products.
It's annoying how much we have to bend around the consequences of these restrictions. The other day Bing blocked creating an image because the prompt included directions on what to put on the breast pocket of a shirt. The word breast automatically made it a forbidden prompt even though the context was entirely non-sexual. At this time, that's not a big deal because it's just a silly image generator and nothing really bad is going to happen if the prompt has to be reworded in a way to indicate a breast pocket without using the forbidden naughty word but over time these restrictions will accumulate a bunch of cruft that will limit the usefulness of the tool.
Bullets are cheap. And so are MANPADS and other short range air defenses. But airplanes are expensive. So are pilots. That's why close air support has shifted towards dropping guided munitions to minimize exposure to short range air defenses. Losing more planes because you want to save money on munitions is a net greater expense than dropping precision munitions. A laser guided bomb costs about $20,000 less than the operation cost for one hour of an f-16's flight time [1]. This idea of precision munitions being prohibitively expensive for CAS is just a wild fantasy.

The f-35 can mount as much external stores as the f-16. The only way it's unsuitable in a CAS role is the fantasy world where modern close air support involves strafing targets.

This is from the same country that prohibited blood in video games in the 90s. I had a copy of Duke Nukem that I picked up from some street vendor in Seoul that was identical to the American one, but all of the blood was colored white. I'm not sure that seeing a monster's head explode in a shower of what I will generously refer to as "milk" did anything positive for my moral alignment.
Boiling the ocean type solutions are the same as doing nothing. A better solution would be to make creating such things very illegal and bring down the same wrath we do for CSAM.

There is no amount of "mental health" that can protect you against targeted bullying of that magnitude. I really wish we had a universe simulator so you could see how miserably you would fail to survive an environment like that.

Most art is for communicating the sublime (i.e., the proverbial "ceremonial purposes" of archeology), not for something as base as comfort.
As I point out in another comment, the cost of a laser guided bomb is $20K [1]. Less than the operational cost of flying the f-16 for one hour [2]. The idea that precision munitions are prohibitively expensive to use for close air support is a fantasy.

I think your current implementation of choosing the octave for us is good, but it would be nice if it was possible to play the notes without guessing them, and thus causing the octave to change(ie moving to the octave of the next note).

If I understand OP correctly that should help with their issues as well. I don't know what an "e" sounds like, but if I'm allowed to play the tones,I can quite accurately decide if it's the correct note or not.

I didn't try hard mode yet, but I suppose one of the harder difficulties could be that you have to choose octave as well. That'd really make it difficult!
As a Korean, I can say definitely so.

A common example that I can give is when you want to take a photo of a document for future reference (or maybe even PDF submission) in a quiet office or room. I can definitely say that the mandatory shutter sounds create a lot of awkward moments.

In a lot of ways the Logic Programming languages are effectively relational (e.g. Prolog, Datalog, KIF) but the search behavior for relations that satisfy a query is a bit different than SQL-like relational languages.

On a previous project I embedded a SQL-like sub-language into a model language so that ETL pipelines and OLAP/OLTP processing could be generated to query aggregates and value lookups during inference. It is nontrivial to embed a relational language into another language without making some compromises but there are certainly contexts where it is quite useful. I think C#'s LINQ is a reasonable effort at this but I'm not much a fan of the rest of that language.

Reminds me of when I watched Fist of the North Star several years ago. All of the blood spurts were censored to be bright white, but there was one episode where two dead guys were drenched in blood and that wasn't censored for some reason
.

The most hilarious though is in part 3 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The main character is a minor so they censor his face any time he smokes. But in one episode there's a bad guy who can imitate people's faces, and he imitates the main character and smokes (without any censorship).

That makes sense, there has to be some level of human written responses for specific things, like when you ask it about a controversial topic that it refuses to answer, it gives you some canned response about how it won't answer that, and that very obviously isn't what language models do naturally. For these cases there has to be some sort of pre-programmed human generated reply!

It's interesting that other people don't seem to agree with the idea that it has some pre-programmed responses, I am curious as to what they think is going on here.

I can’t really deal with long Zoom meetings. I know a couple of WFH folks that are on it almost all day.

> You've written a dense "paragraph" that doesn't really lead itself to argument or even... reading it.

Writing on some mobile devices does not lend itself to proper formatting. I tend to write when and where I feel compelled to write, I apologize for the difficulty reading.

I asked a few questions there that should be compelling. "Why do we trust computer models?" is a central one. "How can be be unbiased with publish or perish?" is another.

I'm not sure why you clamped onto "climate" vs "weather" in chaos. Chaotic variables stack over iterations, it's the entire basis for the butterfly effect, and yes, that does have follow on effect to the climate at large. Climate models themselves are VERY subject to initial state, this again is characteristic of a chaotic system. And just because Lorenz worked on weather does not make chaos theory _not_ a major, if not the biggest, contributor to climate science.

> But chaos often doesn't affect long term predictions of characteristics like averages and periodic variation in a system.

That's a very bold statement with no way to falsify it. I think it's better stated "we currently don't possess enough computing power to accurately predict climate long term".

Wouldn't it be a shame if compounded variables DID in fact have an effect on long term climate? Which they clearly MUST since there's an actual mechanism vs. "ahh it just kinda averages together so we don't have to worry about it". All changes have a follow on change in a block universe, you can't just average them out in a 64bit float and stick a clamp function on it to stop it from going out of control. Which is EXACTLY what climate models do.

A REPL is indispensable when prototyping and experimenting with ideas. The fact that everything is malleable and inspectable in a running Python / JS / elisp environment is very helpful at that stage.

This is one of my pet peeves about iOS as well. You’re able to customize and disable sounds of every noise the phone makes except the camera shutter. You can place the phone in silent mode to disable it, but doing so will obviously disable every other sound as well. Interestingly this also applies to screenshots. This typically leads to this learned behavior now whenever I’m taking a photo or screenshot:

Silence phone -> photo or screenshot -> unsilence phone

It’s a quite annoying anti-pattern.

Now I think the F-16 is prohibitively expensive. Interestingly, the A-10 costs $19,000 per hour to fly too:

https://www.military.com/equipment/military-aircraft/everyth...

Lets say we have 6 targets and a 2 hour mission. Let us assume that the F-16 and A-10 both cost $20,000 per hour to fly. That would be $160,000 for the F-16. Lets assume the ammunition for the warthog costs $1 each. That would be $40,780 for the A-10.

Oh, and the F-35 costs about $40,000 per hour to fly. For that, the same mission costs $200,000.

Unfortunately, the math does not favor those munitions.

"When it comes to renewability"

While I don't disagree with you at all because I have zero actual info on it but the rate of wind power growth is just insane. If you drive south from San Antonio to Corpus Christi it's almost impossible to not see a truck carrying a part of a wind turbine. Then the port in corpus Christi has them coming off the boats all the time.
> In no way it just basically makes all copyright protections pointless by allowing you to claim "OK, now I can decompile this software and distribute it as I please!".

I've never claimed that but it also goes further than the conglomerates would make you believe.

> Hardly. Copyright doesn't necessarily prevent nor make tivoization easier. The GPLv3 (or some new, specific legislation to this end) are the only things that would successfully prevent tivoitzation.

While its true that open devices and software are possible under copyright laws, it's more of a hack and clearly not the default.

I don't know how you would call a law to force opening up the sources of software but it's incompatible with the copyright concept, that's for sure.

We don’t actually have numbers on how many people ended their life for being unable to generate porn they want.

Before calling this idea absurd or too far fetched (which it likely is), think about those who ought to end their life because of pics they don’t want and compare the fetch distances.

It’s amusing how society tends to ignore a thousand miles leading to an unfortunate event and only focuses on the last one. This way of thinking leaves everyone suffering right on the edge without ever addressing a whole mountain of issues on which that edge situates.
Skipping profanity seems like a liability in this design. It means in order to preserve the encoding you need to make the banned word list immutable, otherwise old sqids will decode to the wrong thing when you get them back.

Beige color clothes are to be avoided if any of the people in the image are young adults or younger. The input prompt filter correctly understands that the user isn't trying to generate anything "unsafe", but the output filter sees clothes that are too close to Caucasian flesh tone on someone younger than middle age and flags the output. Leave everything as-is but change the clothing color to something darker or leave the color alone and exclude children and young adults, then things come out fine. Though I can't see the flagged images, it seems clear that they're not generated nudes but false positives.

Yes. It's sloppy PWM with a non-ASCII character code. It's optimized for human encoding/decoding rather than machine; the pulse widths are not globally uniform like they would be in a machine-oriented code, which is what I mean by "sloppy."
New Wave has a specific meaning and it's one that by definition excludes another specific period ("Golden Age")

I'm not quite sure whether Jack Vance is regarded as part of either?

EDIT - ah - further down the page there's a mention of Golden Age. But it seems to only be in terms of precursors and influences on New Wave:

I have no idea about notes or anything piano related. I remember trying some other online game about testing if you are pitch perfect and I was a total failure because I have no idea what any of this is.

But I was still able to get it right in the first row by running the sample lots of times, hitting a key and listening if my combination matches the original music. My point is that I don't think this is for checking pitch perfection if it can be done this way be someone who don't understand a thing about music.
This reminds me of a common conflict in my life (and probably much of society): the tension between compulsive improvers and others who are more content or complacent.

(For example, it is common for people take offense when some member of their group proposes an improvement.)

This contradiction was recently resolved for me by Suzuki Roshi’s statement: “You are perfect the way you are. And you could use some improvement.”

(Note: That’s a rough paraphrase. I recommend reading Suzuki Roshi’s compiled teachings – they’re very good.)
I dunno... I mean, a lot of things decrease but don't go completely extinct, like writing with fountain pens.

But check-writing requires institutions to support it. At some point they're going to pull the plug. Kind of how analog broadcast TV ended in 2009.

2030 is certainly too soon, as the decrease will slow at some point, but I'd absolutely bet money that physical writing of personal checks is no longer supported in the US by 2040. With a decline of usage, the costs of fraud are going to outweigh their benefits. (And we can finally go back to sidewalk mailboxes with normal-size openings that you can drop small packages in, since mailbox-fishing won't have a target anymore.)

Cashier's checks will stick around though, since they fulfill a different purpose. And printed business checks for things like account refunds will persist as well. But printed checks like these aren't subject to the levels of fraud personal ones are, and can easily be made even more secure.
What good managers do is bother to actually read the group chats and give a fuck about the details. Re-read what they don't understand until they do and only then reach out with a short and scheduled meeting and maybe just a few DMs. Then they get to work coordinating the effort for the next sprint and make sure everyone is on schedule. Far too many managers these days are just kicking back and checking boxes or dictating absurdly oversimplified plans from afar.

A good manager becomes a student and servant of their own team. Anyone who doesn't want to do this needs to find another place to work. Just because we work from home doesn't mean we don't work.
