I don't find Reich as convincing because I don't think he was prolific enough and canonical (with respect to forms he used) enough to make the profound statement Glass was able to pull off with his Violin Concertos, String Quartets and Operas [1]. Really, I see art as a tradition and Glass managed to put WCM (mostly concertos, symphonies, quartets, operas, solo piano really...) in the most novel context since Schoenberg. Reich is a great composer, but it's a tremendously harder pursuit to innovate within the tradition rather than reject it all and restart.

Also you talk about counterpoint and incidentally early Glass sounds very contrapuntal (like early Reich) but I think a core message in Glass' body of works is that this entire bike shedding on harmony is so silly. There is so much to music beyond just pitch, and you can literally pick 4 chords and go crazy with it. He treats harmony as a solved problem. I think Reich would agree with this but I don't think his message is as profound. Think about Adams' "Harmonielehre" where he claims he wanted to combine minimalism and early 20th century harmony. The problem here I see here is that common practice harmony revolves around richness and variety. Fux himself says as much. It sounds gorgeous and new, but it doesn't go a long way to innovate anything. Although Glass' music sounds unserious, he actually tried to force himself to innovate. Which is what Schoenberg tried to do. Restrictions motivate artists to be creative.

Listen to Glass first string quartet, it was composed in 1966 before Reich's phase music.

[1] And of course his piano etudes but pianists insist they serve no pedagogical purpose, even though I still can't find someone who can actually play them well except Maki Namekawa. Roll eyes.
I've never actually read that in fiction. It's just logical really. I mean I'm sure it is in fiction somewhere because the idea is obvious.
I find storing the avocados in the fridge causes them to brown without really ripening. I usually buy a bag of 5 and try to eat them over a 3 or 4 day period starting when the first one ripens. Fresh Direct also sells packs of 2 ripe avocados. So you can buy 2 ripe avocados and a bag of hard avocados, eat the ripe ones, and then the hard ones should be ripe enough to eat.

I read comments online, and in my experience the most difficult writing to parse isn't from foreign speakers who drop articles or mis-conjugate things - it's from people whose writing is just, for the lack of a better term, bad. This is very common on places like Nextdoor or Facebook.

It's things like:

- total stream-of-consciousness gibberish that could probably be assembled into a coherent statement if the writer would re-read what they wrote and edit it

- A complete lack of punctuation, or even understanding of sentence and paragraph structure; at a glance, it looks like what I described above, but it's different because there's definitely a topic and a point they're looking to make, but they can't put the words together correctly.

- spelling so bad, that even with context, it's unclear what word they're intending to use.

- A wild misunderstanding of how to start and stop conversations online. (One recent example is me asking someone on Facebook if I could stop by to check out a garage sale, and a clarifying question about a term they used, only to get the response "ok." Note that in their post, they didn't specify an address beyond the name of the town they live in.)

You can definitely point out flaws in the way I grew up - somewhat solitary, spending a lot of time alone in my room on a computer connected to the internet - but I think that it at least taught me how to make myself understood in written form.
That's why we need to continue developing apps that are cryptographically open and secure.

Then it doesn't matter what the government wants, they will have simply no ways to read my texts.

The issue is that only the technically and privacy savy will be able to continue to encrypt their message. The masses will happily comply and continue using facebook messenger/whatsapp or whatever new bigtech "cool app of the day" full of backdoor.
In other words, to get your mass emails read, mimic personal emails more closely. It's a hack to use our noise filters against us. It's not exactly a dark pattern, even if it does make it a little harder for us to distinguish the signal.
One of the notable tricks the various LLM serving frameworks provide is a special approaches to batching, e g. continuous, persistent, or in-flight batching depending on the inference framework. At some level they each allow you to start a new generation while in the middle of one or more previous generations.

Is that possible with "just" pytorch? Could it be added to gpt-fast?

Good in principle, but bad in the implementation.

From their Markdown Annotations specs [0], the authorship is recorded in a quasi-YAML block at the end of the file, e.g.,—

Annotations: 0,95 SHA-256 1132bf5e376a605f5beed4b204456114
@Human: 0,20 33,4 45,6 62,4
&AI: 20,13 37,8 51,11 66,29

The format is bad for multiple reasons:

1. it doesn’t work with the existing de facto standard for markdown metadata, i.e., the YAML frontmatters; the markdown standard is already too fractured to have a new extension;

2. it messes with types by using YAML strings for arrays and integers;

3. it’s inefficient — any change in the file would demand iterating through all recorded ranges and updating the offsets.

I’d prefer it to adopt the YAML frontmatters:

authorship:
authors:
- {id: 0, name: Human, hash: xxxxxxxx}
- {id: 1, name: AI}
ranges: # adding ids to help resolve potential conflicts
- {id: 0, author: Human, begin: 0, len: 20}
- {id: 1, author: AI, begin: 20, len: 13}

Technojock's Turbo Toolkit?

It was a UI and eventually object toolkit for Pascal apps and it was pretty damn cool for the time.

There isn't much online about it, but everyone I knew who was working in TP or BP swore by this in the early 90s..

one thing for sure is that it felt near instant if not real time building small projects, to the point that 14yo me was completely unaware of meaning of Compile until years later.
Which of his books do you recommend to start with? I haven’t read any yet.
Ran it on my Apple ][. It was interesting because another great platform on the Apple was UCSD Pascal but Turbo was so much slicker and easier to use.
I'd vote for updated bmw i3 as well. that thing was under appreciated.

Unless you do what the Greeks did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hour#History:

“Instead of dividing the time between one midnight and the next into 24 equal hours, they divided the time from sunrise to sunset into 12 "seasonal hours" (their actual duration depending on season), and the time from sunset to the next sunrise again in 12 "seasonal hours".”

I think that can work reasonably well close to the equator, but in Athens, the ‘hour’ already would vary from about 47 minutes to about 73 minutes. Feels too large for me for such a system to work, but that may be because I’m too accustomed to the current system.

And of course, going further North, the difference becomes very large.

Because of that, I think it wouldn’t work in large parts of the world in a society that has artificial light.

There also ‘may’ be some complications to making that change, though (would hourly wages still work, for example?)
That was a common choice for TUI software running in the 16-color PC textmode palette. I suppose the blue provided a "dark" background with less contrast than actual black. (TUI programs of the era generally had a pure black-and-white mode too, and the overall look there was not unlike that of *nix terminal-based software.)

That's an interesting description considering those schools were only accessible to the elite rather than the general population.

Rather a random thing to say? I don't see that many similarities. For one thing (upper class) women in Sparta (or Rome for that matter) had considerably more rights than in Athens for instance (which was probably even worse than modern Saudi Arabia in that regard).

Most of the Roman upper class was plebian.

You have a weird definition of left and right.

If you think that Social democrats (S&D; center-left) are "left", then Christian democrats and conservatives (EPP; center-right) are "right". Those two are the traditional mainstream left-wing and right-wing groups in Europe. With these, we have 141 seats for the left and 178 seats for the right.

Then we have more radical parties with a clear position on the left-right axis. The inconveniently named The Left in the European Parliament have 37 seats, while their right-wing counterparts are ECR (66 seats) and ID (60 seats). This brings the total to 178 seats for the left and 304 seats for the right.

There are also two centrist-groups: Greens/EFA (72 seats) and ALDE (102 seats). The former is a weird amalgamation of greens, regional parties, independents, and pirates ranging from left to center. The latter consists of center to center-right parties that usually have some connection to the liberal tradition. But in some cases, the party in ALDE is more conservative and less liberal than their national counterpart in EPP. If we include these centrist groups in the calculations, the balance shifts further to the right.

Finally there are 49 MEPs outside the major parties, bringing the total to 705.
I remember reading that historically child nudity before puberty was so common no one would even notice it. For example when Pocahontas encountered John Smith she was completely naked https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-06-24-me-16637-...

Even in Victorian times child nudity was seen as a symbol of purity.

So the conclusion of this article seems to me to be a bit of stretch.

It's not just you. It hit me almost a year ago, when I realized my then 3.5yo daughter has a noticeable context window of about 30 seconds - whenever she went on her random rant/story, anything she didn't repeat within 30 seconds would permanently fall out of the story and never be mentioned again.

It also made me realize why small kids talk so repetitively - what they don't repeat they soon forget, and what they feel like repeating remains, so over the course of couple minutes, their story kind of knots itself in a loop, being mostly made of the thoughts they feel compelled to carry forward.

I'll say it: I think any ring with adequate electronics will be too bulky and uncomfortable to wear on a toe, especially if you put it into a shoe. Also, how much more info could you get from the foot's motion than from something on the wrist? Finally it's not clear what sensors could be useful beyond the IMU anyway.

I don't know why people are being squeamish about this.
Competing with that naivete is the great delusion of technical people that "If we build it they will come."

My first exposure to TP was when I pirated it off a warez BBS in the winter of 93 at the age of 14. The raw power I felt when I compiled my own EXE in contrast to running just a .BAS file was enthralling! I started modding Renegade BBS and writing door programs. I tried to, unsuccessfully, create worms, Trojans and viruses. It changed my life and set me on a course for where I am in tech today. Moreover I’m reformed my deviant teenage tendencies.

The page does explicitly call out Ireland and Northern Ireland as an issue with the first draft of the map. This feels to me like the part of the process where you stand up a proposal to get refinement, since large deliberative bodies are rarely able to create such a proposal from scratch.
In most (32) states there are extra fees added to yearly EV registration to compensate for the lack of gas tax revenue, but Tesla never includes them in their calculations. Insurance costs and tire wear are usually much higher for Teslas, too. Neither does Tesla include the costs of the charger or the electrician's installation fees (~$1,000). Supercharging fees on road trips are completely ignored. It's also highly unlikely that anyone considering the purchase of these cars meets federal tax credit income thresholds ($7,500). Borderline fraudulent.
For blogging to form communities (again'-ish), we're going to need new protocols. I don't think http is the future for growth. The nostalgic internet was a "community," but more because it was a scene made up of other scenes, which each had bars to entry, signalling costs, social proof, status and competence hierarchies, and ultimately, real social networks. Imo, the old internet never disappeared, it just migrated to git.

What we're probably overlooking is that any activity where people can collaborate to make something together at scale is basically magic. I don't think people will go "back" to blogs because the form will need another zero-to-one moment where people collaborate with words to discover something new.
