As a synth head that teaches synthesizers at university: While I think that is an interesting idea in itself, it is probably not the best idea for learning how FM synthesis works. Learning synths is both about gaining an intution what sounds emerge when you change a set of parameters, as well as having a mental model of the signal flow and how that shapes the sounds.

Both are things that are not helped by having something that creates presets for you — in fact it might even be more productive to look at human made presets if you need guidence.

Also: Synthesizers are also good for creating never before heard, totally out there sounds, and those are hard to reach when you feed it existing stuff. My own personal learning approach always was to use a simple init preset and then create everything manually from there. I called this my "No-presets rule" (meaning I don't use presets that I did not make myswlf for anything, unless ot is a commercial gig). If you then make your 10th preset from scratch you probably understood something already. And then at some point looking at other people's stuff starts to make sense because now you have a set of eyeballs that can actually peeceive the things they did.
I interpret it as ”useful work”, progressing toward a successful product, as opposed to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Even Santa was rude to donner and Rudolph when he first found out.
The exchange rate (if you're buying Yen) is pretty good at the moment too.
Should the military not be advertised as a career choice or should China be represented at US schools too?
Many places already have weekly/biweekly pickup for single-stream glass/plastic/paper/aluminum recycling - is there any fundamental reason that batteries couldn't be added to the stream?
For issuing client certificates you need to set up your own Certificate Authority (not super hard, for a minimal thing it's just some "openssl" commands).

However, macOS has its own framework for doing https calls, which most macOS applications use. It takes the place of OpenSSL/LibreSSL (etc) as used on Linux.

That framework does things differently, which turns out to make life difficult:

* It seems to require the certificate for your custom certificate authority to be in the macOS keychain.

So instead of having a custom CA that can be used by just your one application when doing https calls to your own remote server... you have to install your (root) CA certificate "system wide". From rough memory, that's a potential security problem as allows your custom CA to generate certs for any domain that macOS would now accept.

* It seems to also impose it's own arbitrary standards on certificates.

It looks like anything with an expiration date of more than a year is automatically rejected.

Which for certificates embedded in applications that aren't released at least once per year (eg ours at sqlitebrowser.org) just outright kills the whole fucking thing regardless of anything else we could do.

There's no real workaround for the kind of idiocy that requires applications more than a year old not being allowed to work. :( :( :(

That's my rough memory of this stuff anyway, it's been quite a while since I last looked at it. Hopefully the above isn't too far off base. :)
Not sure I follow your point re global government, so I’ll return to your double down.

If there’s a fundamental property of the universe that disallows public cryptography then it’s a fact of life. What baffles me is someone’s desire to reach that state sooner rather later, given how much current global civilization depends on it.

In the same vein, global warming is a fact of life since in a few million years the sun will engulf the earth. Yet I’ve yet to hear a sentiment describing it as a desirable state of affairs, because “the free energy alone would be worth its weight in gold”.
The whole point of S3 is that it is inexpensive. You don't want to pay premium money for terabytes of data that are usually invalidated everyone someone makes a significant change.
I know this reply is a bit late, but, at least in my professional experience, Bayesian decision making typically does not involve just a probability of an event (in which thresholds are more or less arbitrary, including p-values) but involves mapping the probably to a cost/value in which the threshold isn't determined by arbitrary probability threshold but died to business value.

In the most common situations this typically means the expected value well exceeds the expected cost and you're comfortable with the risk if you're wrong.
I do consulting work sometimes - I cap it at 10hr/month and charge $250/hr. That’s a good way of ensuring random jobs don’t take over your life. And yes; there’s always more work.
Except that's not wholly true.

The CFO is one example. Bery specific duties, responsibilities, and can pverride anyone on certain things.

We need more of this. Privacy, security officers woth specific duties. Same with anything such as safety.
That's great if it works for you. I haven't figured out all these subtle cues so I still have to give coding exercises.
> if you already have a target sound, why are you trying to come up with a program to match it?

Once you have the program matching the sound, you can tweak it and get variations. At least that's what I imagine people would want it for.
Isn't the separation of programs into sbin to prevent users without system admin permissions having even read only access to certain programs? Is that not relevant now?
Going through a Svelte course mainly. And studying Statistics using the Professor Leonard lectures on Youtube. That and binge-watching Billions on Amazon Prime.
Tens of thousands of employees without work, and if they have company stock, they lose their retirement.

That's the usual reason given for not imposing a corporate death penalty.
why do they need a second truck that guzzles about the same amount of diesel to transport them? I thought recycling was "good" for the env? at least the homeless people who collected them used public transport/green energy to transport them back to the recycler.
NixOS itself still also has problems. The configuration / state for a program is scattered between /etc /nix/store ~ ~/.config /var instead of being in a centralized place.

An application can be thought of as a combination of the binary, libraries, resources, and state. By default the applications needs to be able to read any of these and be able to read and write the state. Unix's FSH's biggest problem is that it tries to group files together by type instead of grouping files together by application. Nix can technically group things by application, but it is not really standardized so things can get messy and it is still normal for applications to read and write files from anywhere.
For one thing, it would be cheating to use a computer in a live game. For another, creating a solver involves different skills than distilling the insights from the solver and applying them in live games.

It’s a bit like asking a basketball coach why they don’t play professionally themselves.
I definitely feel your pain. I get flashbacks of interminable weeks of work where a bug that’s clearly not caused by my code is suddenly affecting a number of users.

Reverse engineering skills have greatly improved the way I develop things on macOS nowadays. Having access to any process memory and variables and being able to alter it using Frida makes it less painful to navigate obscure macOS APIs.

Although if it’s a problem in internal SwiftUI code, I’m afraid nothing can help you.
Which rights exactly?
Yes. But then the English language got a _lot_ of reps as the lingua franca of commerce and science.
I mean, 99% of the world is lower cost than SF, with SF being in many of the top 10 lists of most expensive cities to live in.
I agree. But we have members of our society which will sue, even if they are told upon purchase to be careful.

So I suspect they are concerned about liability.
Why? (I'm clueless about NixOS. I think it's a way of declaring your whole Linux install as some kind of recipe file or something?)
The argument was created by a churchman for churchmen, it wasn't intended or used as a popular argument, but it's worth understanding that c. 1000 CE this argument seemed compelling to literate folks who were introduced to it. If people had thought it was ludicrous nonsense they actually were free to say this, this is a philosophical argument, not doctrine, and the Church didn't have too much to do with supporting/opposing such things other than opposing philosophical arguments seen as heretical.

Is battery storage cheaper than nuclear though?

> annoying

Wasn’t nuclear supposed to be the “moonshot” of the 50s and 60s? I guess another problem is that they would’ve had to solve both solar panel and the battery issue at the same time.
Unless you can identify exactly where the issue is and fix it, reporting it and letting the developers and packagers figure it out is the best way to go. If you choose the wrong project, they'll tell you.
Feels exceeding weird to me to draw a distinction between git and the flat files it has.

Git does come with some challenges (deleting a file from history is a good one; the filter-branch command for doing so can be a beast!), but overall there's so many git tools available. Gitlense, GitHub, magit, gitk, and hundreds more ("broader tooling"). And is imminently google-able. Love it or hate it, it's a well known system, and TinaCMS using git seems like a huge advantage to me (with my reasonably competent modern developer hat on) in any circumstance.

Tools like logseq and TinaCMS have ways to rename pages, without breaking references in their markdown. Seems solved.

Smartphones are pretty good at using web apps I've found so not sure why you once again are leaping to attack again.

"you can have only one in the database and then store just the diffs" has big "draw the rest of the owl" vibes to me. Maybe it is really easy. But I have to learn that system & figure out how to work with that history. I see very little benefit in a simple system, that is custom tailored to one particular use, that will have a range of limitations I can't assess or judge well ahead of time. We have a great tool for handling control of different versions of text over time. I'm here for it. It seems wild to me to imagine DIY'ing for your specific app.
The reason I think is that GM is multinational. And while Buick is not doing well in the US, it’s doing very well in China (80%+ of sales of the brand is in China).
How about healthcare? I've heard this is still quite expensive especially for non-residents.
I don't think any similar magnet exists that doesn't embed the magnet in a dewar full of liquid helium. And it probably doesn't make any sense to do it differently, even if it were possible.

You need some mass here for the helium anyway as you never ever must run dry and it constantly evaporates.
Surely it depends on your investment goals and attitude to risk.
In Germany regular grocery stores are in walking distance (if your living rural, you might strongly prefer a bicycle, though), and last I looked, the mandatory post-checkout secondary-packaging-disposal/-recycling station includes a battery bin. Though it might only be required if they also sell batteries, which they (so far) still do.
It’s gotta be tough to write a more realistic speech for those folks though: “if you don’t love business and making money you done fucked up. Even if you do? This was almost certainly a dumb idea.”
I'm curious how much professional statistical experience you have? In my experience probabilities alone are very rarely used and distributions of beliefs are combined with distributions of value so you can choose optimal risk/reward scenarios.

Bayesian decision making typically involves combining a cost function with your posterior distribution.

It's worth pointing out that this is typically not possible in most frequentist frameworks since they work in double negative style assertions and arbitrary threshold rather than modeling the problem itself.

While you can map Bayesian approaches to frequentists tests, this is usually a misunderstanding of Bayesian methods coming from a purely frequentist background. Bayesian analysis is fundamentally more flexible since it just the application of the sum and product rules (you don't even need Bayes' theorem since it can be trivially derived from these) as well as corresponding cost/value functions.
I thought it was a quite thought-provoking science-fictional short story. What about the post makes you think of it as nauseating?
Mathematical papers, textbooks, lecture notes, in-person and video lectures, etc. are produced and consumed by humans and not computers.
Win11 has lots of handy features, the font rendering is better than win10 which makes things very nice. The only thing that really ticks me off is the toolbar, but theres many replacements to fix that issue.
I didn’t claim that the person was autistic, I asked. And I asked because the way he described his difficulty is precisely what can finds in the literature on autism and sociolinguistics. And as you can see, I wasn’t far off the mark. I also specifically said that the rules of my environment might not apply to his.
"tech" is becoming a meaningless category
Why not add a pressure relief valve on the quench path with a very loud whistle? That should be enough to take care of such rare and compounded failures.

What does recall means in this context? De-energizing the superconductor and shipping it back? Seems like a waste and a planning nightmare.
It's more than that. In an org with an architecture of silo'd teams that all work on their own independent federated services, you'll need people to test out all of the variations on content, timing and error handling for the software as a whole. Depending on automated testing to handle all of that, in a live environment, is a fool's errand no matter how much it makes the development cycle seem to go faster.
Hey I'm Romanian, too. The latest iOS does what you want -- it has multi-language support and typing mixed English + Romanian is seamless now. Yeah it was a total pain to keep switching languages before iOS 17.
I get where you are coming from (and take no offense). If I understand your intent correctly, you are right that I should be more generous to teachers. In the context of larger educational challenges (and a recovery from the pandemic), I did not mean to suggest that teachers’ intimate familiarity with Shakespeare should be a high priority in our schools, merely that in a perfect world (without other challenges), students would learn Shakespeare better (which I think would be a benefit) from teachers that know the material.

Sadly, our educational system has much deeper challenges than that, and I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise. The conversation was about Shakespeare specifically and how his works are taught, not the broader state of education.
There’s no question that the average person in any random country has more to worry about from the United States than China. Whether the U.S. or China is a nicer country to live in is a different question.
Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with having different brands regionally. I doubt it would hurt them in China to kill the US brand.

IMO Pontiac would have been the perfect brand to evolve into the EV space.
You should visit Norway sometime.
> I chose to not use the category of “Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing”, because it would include manufacturers of navigation systems (Garmin, etc.), which aren’t really what would come into my mind when I think of “tech companies”.

I very much think of Garmin as a tech company.
System V introduced /usr/sbin for storing loosely defined "system binaries", meaning admin tools, daemons and such like. The idea was that they wouldn't appear on the ordinary user's $PATH (and confuse them, I suppose).
I don't think I'm quite as argumentative as you've described yourself, but I've fallen into some of the same traps in the past.

I stopped using Facebook 5 or so years ago, and almost instantly felt better day-to-day. I hadn't realized how upset Facebook was making me. Sometimes it would just make me sad (as in, "it's so disappointing that people believe garbage like XYZ") and other times actively angry. Sure, I did occasionally change people's minds by arguing with them in Facebook comments, but that was pretty rare; usually people would just dig in and everyone involved in the argument would end up angry and frustrated.

And it wasn't just that: even when I felt no desire to wade into some sort of contentious conversation, just seeing those sorts of arguments stressed me out and made me upset. Even as I started pulling away from participating in discussions and arguments on Facebook, I realized the root of the problem was still there: divisive crap promoted by algorithmic engagement metrics. Even dialing back my participation wasn't really helping.

So I just stopped, and I feel so much better for it. On occasion (maybe once every 4-6 months) I'll sign into my Facebook account for some specific purpose (to find someone's birthday or email address or something like that), and I'll (as detached as possible) scroll down the news feed a bit for a minute or two. It's so liberating: I realize that I actually don't care about 95% of what my friends and acquaintances are posting. For the most part, I learn about my friends' lives by actually interacting with them (either in real life, or 1-on-1 or small-group chats). There are some friends who I have lost touch with, and that does make me a little sad, but the negatives of using Facebook again just aren't worth it for me.

I pretty much limit my arguing with people on the internet to HN, and while I probably do spend more time doing that than is healthy, I think I'm doing a lot better than when I was actively on Facebook.
Not really, that was a wild extrapolation on my part. But I did have at least 2 other companies waiting for me to be available on other projects, so in my specific case it would have been possible to continue working like that for the full year.
This is also the visa that many middle class Taiwanese and Chinese people use to move to Japan. It's basically a visa for sale under the auspices of a "business visa".
Read the linked change proposal.
I wouldn't recommend hiring someone (except perhaps for an entry level job) based on ANY kind of whiteboard test. For a senior person it's their experience that counts, which is why the interview should be around what's on their resume.

The list reverse (or anything similar - count word occurrences in a list) doesn't qualify someone for the job, but is a good way to quickly tell if someone is lying about their experience, which unfortunately some do, especially for low paying contractor jobs. For stuff this simple I'd expect people to just write it down in 30 sec once they've asked any clarifying questions (such as can I use list.reverse() - no).
Another approach, rather than generating randomized offspring, differentiable dsp provides a mechanism to self-correct using a loss function

Yep, it's not relevant. If you click through to the change proposal, you will see their reasoning.
It's important to achieve a balance.
Of course. You was formal while thou was informal.
The “chickenshit” arguments against this is that it will hurt employees of the fined company or investors who didn’t know any better. Grandma’s IRA is full of index stocks, she didn’t choose any of this and shouldn’t be punished. It’s not so hard to motivate media to spread this message.

The problem with that argument is that it makes it so nobody is ever responsible, competition must act the same or risk losing to the misbehaving competitors, and all you have to do to be above the law is have employees, investors, and misbehavior complicated enough to be difficult to understand who is responsible.
“In your world, people are used to fighting for resources... like oil, or minerals, or land. But when you have access to the vastness of space, you realize there's only one resource worth fighting over... even killing for: More time. Time is the single most precious commodity in the universe.”

On linux the initrd filesystem can do this IIRC
I could be wrong, but I think the current "EV Tax incentive" applies to PHEVs and that it is actually easier for a manufacturer to take advantage of it with a pHEV than a full EV.
Is speaking to someone formally considered ending up in an inferior position in all cultures?

In Persian if someone expects to be spoken with formally, they have to speak formally themselves. So when you speak formally you're kinda bringing both parties up. You can even flirt by speaking formally.
/usr was initially for users. See Kernighan's Unix for beginniners from 1974: https://archive.org/details/unix-for-beginners/page/n5/mode/... or this 1982 text from Bell Labs: https://archive.org/details/unixsystem0000bour/page/10/mode/...

I think that, in theory, Ultium is the result of those learnings.
This is why doom and gloom among the biggest "tech" companies (layoffs etc) doesn't necessarily translate to our industry as a whole. (though the particular mix of tech may be different)
> But I like to believe that with that difference of $12k I'm buying time.

As long as the semi-passive income from the apps leaves a bit to be saved every month, and there are better things to spend life on, then it seems to be a good choice.

However, modern money system functions well enough that earning a lot a money in a period of time will afford not having to do that later. The question on what to spend time on is definitely harder a priori than a posteri.
Icelandic preserves old Norse so you’re accidentally implying Old Norse originated in its own derivative.
With modern software like Chrome, Caddy, etc, ALPN should always be set to h3 and ESNI should always be enabled. Doesn't matter if it's a draft. I don't care about leaking my IP. Most people don't
Also found a report about another problem they cheated on tests to pass:

"They said the door trim on the affected vehicles had been modified with a "notch" to minimise the risk in testing that the door interior could break with a sharp edge and cause injury to an occupant when the side airbag deployed in an accident."

Outside of what the article itself says, even while I was managing large multi-user Linux installs that wasn't really a concern we had. At this point the benefits and concerns are minimal.
I was surprised they kept Buick and dropped Pontiac. I’ve read that but Buick is a big seller in China, though.
"In a series of Xeets" I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing that.

This only happens in an emergency, not during normal operation.

Pretty much the only time you would do it when a person is stuck in the machine by some piece of metal that is attracted to the magnet. You hit the quench button which vents all the helium, but more importantly also halts the magnet (all the energy released from halting the magnet goes into boiling the helium), and then you can release the person.

You don't do this for any other purpose, for example if some metal cart is stuck in the machine, but no one is at risk, you use a slower method to shut down the magnet (i.e. drain the energy) that doesn't vent the Helium.
