Firstly, the DX7 is a hardware implementation, it doesn't use a CPU for arithmetic so there is no inherent notion of resource contention. Hardware resources can be (and are) allocated and/or shared exactly as are needed by the requirements of the target computation. You mention "reads," but once again, in a hardware implementation the memory structure may be quite different from the cache hierarchy of a CPU (the situation that KVRists would be most familiar with).

In a phase accumulator (or any numerical representation of time) it is generally desirable to have uniform precision across the full phase range. Floating point arithmetic does not have this property. On the other hand, floating point arithmetic can sometimes be more convenient than fixed-point if the hardware to hand can execute it fast. But if you're designing hardware from scratch, and especially for FM synthesis, you're probably going to find some other tricks that work even better.
For what it's worth, by 1945 (Hiroshima) the Japanese army had grown from 1,700,000 (1941) to 6,000,000 (1945). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Japanese_Army#World_W...

Also to say it was just some barbaric test sort of ignores the fact that Japan did not surrender after the first bomb was dropped, they weren't some innocent bystander, they were actively running offensive military campaigns through 1944, and their intention was to continue fighting the war - until the US proved that they had the resources to do it a second time (and therefore unknowably many times, as far as Japan knew).

There's also a credible argument to be made that the US dropping nuclear bombs on Japan might've had a net positive effect on total lives lost if the war continued another 6 months. You can absolutely debate which lives were lost versus saved, and the ethics of either route - but to just pass it off as some "barbaric human experiment" seems a little disingenuous.
Isn't that how the Internet was invented?
> It is very much a moral thing for them

I think that’s the popular narrative, but the real reason is population decline. Someone somewhere must understand the implications of a small number of people in the US. Not just because there are fewer taxpayers but there also fewer people to support the logistics of war. I dont like the idea but I think that is part of the reason.

Europe is not the US, it’s not a country, and is not made of non European immigrants - though all Europeans are closely related. And that means that population decline is already causing political and social tension. Because to maintain the economy people from the outside are coming in and locals dont like it. There is no European country without tension. Not something I like either.

The only way to solve these issues is to make it possible for people to have children and family life - traditional or not - of their own accord.

Corporate capitalism doesnt allow for that. It causes market anomalies - ie people unable to even dream of owning a house, it causes mental health issues due to forcing people to sit in office settings with office politics, and it damages small businesses. Corporatism is damaging to national security and social cohesion.

I think the way to solve many of the population and independence of the younger generation is an aggressive development of small to medium sized businesses. Free people are more likely to want a family in my view. Basically, we need a return to actual capitalism.
Nobody said they have an issue with African countries growing food. Research and solutions are necessary on all fronts.
But then how do you do what I'd consider simple things like sanity checks?

For example, hooking up jumper cables. I suppose I could hook them up without an inner dialog.

But then at any point if I get confused or remember that dangerous things can happen, I can go back and compare against a list in my head of the steps to hook them up. E.g., don't let clamps touch, start with the dead battery, positive first, crank and rev the working car, etc.

How can you get the same type of sanity check without an inner dialog? Do you memorize an ordered sequence of "feels" that correspond to the steps?
> What is Wolfram Derangement Syndrome?

He writes a lot about himself in every article and makes claims that others find excessive. Commenters get triggered by this and post about how annoying it is. These reactions are just as predictable and just as fixated on Wolfram himself as he is, and in that sense are guilty of the same thing. This repetitive dynamic is what I mean by Wolfram Derangement Syndrome. It has been tedious—and therefore off topic—for many years. Here are a few past explanations in case helpful:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10978871 (Jan 2016)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10723588 (Dec 2015)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20071283 (June 2019)

There's often a lot that's interesting and thoughtful in Wolfram's pieces, stuff that's worth discussing on HN, so this is really a test for the community: can we mask out the predictable bits and focus on the interesting ones?

A few years ago, we added a guideline to https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html to cover cases like this: "Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."

Unless I’m missing something, there were 3 issues related to this plugin:

1) The inability to totally remove this core plugin.

2) This core plugin seemed to be reenabling itself after it was disabled.

3) A concern about data being exfiltrated by this plugin while being enabled, but not configured.

The answers being:

1) It’s a core plugin - such plugins cannot be disabled.

2) This was a bug that will be fixed in the next release.

3) The plugin did not send any data up unless it had been fully configured.

Much of the alarm seems to be revolving around the 3rd issue which seems to have garnered most of the attacks.

The biggest issue that I see is not the plugin myself, but JetBrains response (or lack thereof). Folk complained about loosing trust with JB over the fear of 3)

I get it, but don’t get it. Apple fucked up years ago with the whole battery gate crap when they made changes to fix an issue but didn’t tell anyone.

I’m still using Apple devices and I’ll still continue to keep my JB subscription. Sure JB shot themselves in the foot over a lack of communication, but unless someone can show me otherwise, it looks like no data was transmitted by the plugin unless it had been fully configured.
I remember the "don't feed the trolls!" rule on usenet forums.

A "troll" was someone posting something to deliberately annoy people and get a reaction. If you added to the noise by replying to a troll, the troll won and you were seen as just as bad.

Now "troll" is just used to say mean/annoying person. News sites will add to and amplify the noise with headlines like "People are annoyed at troll who said X", going against the original meaning and rule.

So we now have this awful cycle of someone trolling, people discuss it, news sites get clicks from reporting it, people discuss it more, the troll is encouraged to troll more, and the news sites are encouraged to keep posting clickbait about it.

I'd love if there was a way to bring the "don't feed the trolls" rule back. Like major downvoting if you're found replying to a comment or story that gets flagged as "troll".
More accurately: Mathematica has built in and/or automatic access to object data like animals, geographic info, and statistical figures of various things. You can then use these objects in other functions to answer questions like "How similar() is this to a ${goat}" (actual syntax very different) without having to manually code the glue for similar to understand things like animal objects yourself.

That the symbolic nature of the program carries past the pure mathematics is one of the most useful things about it.

AI doesn't just make progress, during an AI winter the AI gets worse for a while. Like deep blue was the best in the world, then they scrapped that project and it took a long while until anyone made a better chess engine. The same can easily happen for LLMs etc, if it turns out they are too expensive to run without VC money we will see them quickly regress once the next winter hits.

We do non-consensual human experimentation all the time. Whenever you try a new outfit you're doing it.

It's an extremely broad category that contains good things (installing cycle lanes to see if they encourage cycling), neutral things (making both flower mugs and wave mugs and seeing which sells) and bad things (use your imagination).
The morals of the ancient world would probably seem alien to anyone from the modern era. I can't remember the specifics but Roman literature reflected rather permissive attitudes to non-consensual sexual relations and relations with minors (eg a marriage age of 12). It's a hard thing to Google for without ending up on a watch list however.

> How can people be so blood-thirsty that it's ok to sacrifice over 600 men for nothing more than a "spectacle"?

Isn't the world today largely standing by and watching the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of mostly women and children? That has not valid military purpose.. It's just retribution, ethnic displacement and genocide.

Example: the Sderot night cinema [1]. No matter your position on the conflict, these are people who are treating the mass bomardment and death of civilians as popcorn-worthy entertainment.

Genetic heritage of the survivors of the transatlantic slave trade show a dark history of mass rape of enslaved women [2].

The occupation of Germany at the end of WW2 came with rape on a massive scale [3].

My point is that we, as people, stand by and let atrocities happen routinely so how are Roman atrocities really that different?

Oh, and 600 gladiators is really nothing. When Julius Caesar conquered Gaul, of the ~!3 million people, ~1 million were killed and another ~1 million were enslaved. The former province of Dacia ceased to exist. It is now modern day Romania. "Rome" is the root word there. The Dacians were literally wiped out.

Of course it skips that! There are obviously plenty of good things Apple does with its products, and it is not on the article to qualify each of them before moving on to a criticism. The "human folly" is the susceptibility to advertising, which absolutely does work and was 100% leveraged heavily by Apple to great success. Pointing that out and the negative consequences of it as the article does is not "dismissing" anything else about Apple.
> What I don't find any of this back-and-forth convincing about, is that this piece of Scott's is in error for failing to address this stuff.

Scott's argument--not his anti-Reactionary argument, but his argument in favor of his alternate model--depends on particular historical claims. Those claims are false, and they're false because of the historical errors he makes. Those historical errors are not about small or peripheral points. They are about points that are central to his argument. I have already explicitly quoted and discussed them and I won't repeat them here. I just find it difficult to see how Scott is not in error for failing to spot these historical mistakes that he makes, particularly in view of his reputation for supposedly being much better than average at making valid arguments. Making valid arguments is not just a matter of using reason correctly. It's a matter of reasoning from correct premises, and making sure that you are in fact doing so.

The Supreme Court's power of judicial review isn't defined in the text of the Constitution. It was applied by the Court to itself not by interpreting the text but reading between the lines and deciding it should have been there.

It seems to me that if we can accept that then we've already accepted that the Supreme Court can imagine new rights with no textual basis in the Constitution. After all, the Constitution isn't meant to describe an exhaustive list of rights so much as maximally bind the Federal government as to what rights it is allowed to abridge. So the concept of "rights having a textual basis in the Constitution" is nonsensical, ̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶C̶o̶n̶s̶t̶i̶t̶u̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶i̶m̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶g̶r̶a̶n̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶a̶ ̶"̶C̶r̶e̶a̶t̶o̶r̶,̶"̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶g̶o̶v̶e̶r̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶.̶ (edit: ... ok that was in the Bill of Rights my bad but still, rights aren't defined by the Constitution.)

Also, RBG believed abortion could be supported as Constitutional right, but she preferred an argument on the basis of equal protection over the arguments from privacy that underpinned Roe V. Wade, which she believed were too weak and easily undermined (and she was correct.)

The only relevant question per the Constitution is not whether the right to an abortion exists, but whether the Federal government should be allowed to interfere with that right, whether states should be allowed to interfere with that right, or whether that right should be left in its default state of being claimed by the people.

> If everyone is cheating, it isn’t really cheating, it is just testing different skills.

Reminds me of what made things like Melee or GunZ: The Duel great. You had glitches that people learned to use to make the game much faster paced and with a much higher skill-ceiling than it was supposed to have. GunZ was particularly funny, where it was supposed to be a shooter where you could do all sorts of cool matrix-style running on walls and blocking bullets with a sword, but that got amplified 100x by the worst netcode ever written along with the ability to cancel almost every animation. So the high-level players learned to fly[0] and switch weapons multiple times per second, which really just made it feel even more like what an ideal matrix-inspired game ought to be.

My 2012 Leaf is amazing. It has sadly lost a lot of battery capacity, and I think there is something funny going on with the brakes, but it is still a great car. Just can't go very far anymore. But I only drive it around my small town anyway, so it doesn't need to go very far.
> None exist and unlikely any will exist in the future (at least not the type of countries many people would want to live int)

El Salvador has already made Bitcoin a legal tender. I assume your no-true-scotsman addition of "any country somebody would want to live in" is meant to disqualify it? That's rather disrespectful to the 6 million people who live there in addition to being wrong.

In my opinion more countries will adopt it in the coming years and convert a small portion of their reserves to Bitcoin. Time will tell which of us is correct.
It's useful for help in planning just about any work that is done outdoors, since it gives you a digital version of reality, just like photogrammetry. Think agriculture, construction, architecture, etc. Many environments can not be photographed in their entirety because of the laws of physics. Here, a digital recreation of reality is the only way to get an accurate picture. For example underwater environments and caves.
This is another case where some environmentalists can be more emotional than rational, similar to opposition to nuclear energy.

Dams provided the cleanest, most consistent energy of any source. They also are very effective at energy storage via pumping. We can try to mitigate damage to salmon, but honestly, we're just going to have to let some salmon die to not cook the earth.

I doubt the US will ever be able to build another dam due to NIMBYs and other red tape. So when we get rid of a dam it's gone forever.

I struggled with this recently, upgrading qtwebkit from Qt5 to Qt6. Qt5 used platform-specific height values, while Qt6 now uses win height values, for consistent rendering across all platforms. It’s better in concept, the only issue is that the really big cross-platform browser _doesn’t_ so it turns into “why doesn’t this font rendering look like Chrome on Mac/linux?”

Ah, that old standby "No True Scotsman". Sorry, not buying it.

> The stated policies of the US Democratic Party barely correspond to those of leftist parties worldwide.

No political party's stated policies can be taken seriously, since political parties, on immense amounts of historical evidence, will lie about their actual goals as much as they need to to get elected and stay elected.

For example, the Democratic platform that FDR ran on in 1932 did not look very leftist, but the actual things he did once in office were most definitely leftist, and bore no resemblance whatever to the platform he ran on. Did any Democrats object? Hollow laugh.

If you want to argue that the US Democratic party is not as far left as, for example, leftist parties in the UK or Europe, yes, that's probably true. But saying that that means the US Democratic party is not leftist is like saying that the Atlantic Ocean is not an ocean because it doesn't have quite as much water in it as the Pacific.
