This reminds me of a video I watched years ago with uncle Bob talking on a Clean Code talk mentioning that clean code was more than just a method to write code but also a strategy, a guideline if you will for when policymakers wake-up to the fact that the world is run with software and start making policy. It’d most certainly be better if those guidelines come from the industry itself as opposed to being imposed with little notion of how the industry works

This is usually the preamble. When a law is weighed in court, moreover, lawmakers’ statements are often referenced to gauge intent.

In this case, California works in a better way. A court paused the law after popular outcry was mobilised into a petition campaign [1]. The law is on hold until a popular referendum on it concludes [2].

> Something that surprised me is that [1] is of a minor key, but the solfege marks are for the relative major

Major and minor keys use the same shapes / solfege system. The major scale is "fa, so, la, fa, so, la, mi, fa", while the minor scale uses the same syllables but starts on la. This means that the shapes always represent the same intervals (i.e. pattern of whole and half steps) whether a song is in a major or minor. It's hard to describe but makes sense when singing.
It seems tough to do, besides I'm not sure what the benefit would be, with that you can't do the optimized matrix multiplication anymore, and if you need more precision presumably you can just add more neurons and/or train for longer and/or with better data.
SnapChat does the same thing, we (not me technically, I am just a developer that worked with our ad team) set up Geofences around events to serve ads and we could continue to target those users for continuous remarketing as soon as they stepped foot into and out of a location of our choosing. In our case it was mostly a concert and car race. We knew -a lot- more than we probably should have. You could push filters, and all kinds of stuff within those custom geofences. Facebook & Google have similar, but it's not near as granular as what I saw with Snap. They might have changed it by now, this is when they first were getting into advertising. It honestly wasn't very effective, probably because of the demographic that uses SnapChat.

the problem with undoing the local monopoly is that the divestiture they're proposing is to a place that said they want to get out of the grocery business. so it would probably be close to the same effect as just closing stores outright.
yes, even before alpha centauri, a big problem with the kilogram artifact locked in a room in paris was that it keeps changing its mass and nobody knows why or exactly how much or in which direction, although the best estimates are that it's a fair fraction of a part per million by now

agreeing on distances with a faraway colony is actually a considerably easier problem than the kilogram; if we transmit them a radio or laser message, they can measure its length to within parts per billion, and we can do that with 01950s technology, while kibble didn't invent the kibble balance (previously known as the watt balance) until the 01970s

(you do have to worry about redshift: one part per billion of redshift is 300 millimeters per second, so you have to know the relative velocity of alpha centauri to within meters per second to correct for it—and, while that's also the 01950s technology of measuring spectral line frequencies to that precision, that same technology is what allows you to do without the radio message entirely)

transmitting or storing the number "9192631770/299792458" can be done with significantly higher exactitude, of course, and can be done over twenty millennia more easily than transmitting a radio message can
It makes me so so happy to hear someone else complain about what they've done with Foundation. Considering the ratings (both from critics and audiences) I've seen, I was starting to question if I actually read Foundation or something else because the show is NOTHING like the books.

Sure, although the sensations themselves are not the cause of being present or not.

The idea of having music in the background to evoke a montage scene is a kind of fantasizing on what it feels like to be … montaging. My mind does something similar without a montage playlist. In both cases, the power of being present is partially siphoned off to sustain that fantasizing, rather than sensing and experiencing what is happening in the training.

There is an alternate thing that can happen — the use of music to artificially create a proxy for the external, social conditioning. That is also a support, and if that is what someone need, sure. However, there is much to be said when someone is able to tap into the internal drive and passion, without relying on an external social conditioning.

There are also skills that, you cannot develop without jettisoning supports like that.

Yes. You can run "DisplayPort Alt Mode" over USB-C. You can also transport DP over Thunderbolt over USB-C.

HDMI Alt Mode also was a thing, but is now deprecated.
I am using a displayport to usb-c to connect an amd gpu to an apple display and it works well.

> DisplayPort is packet-based and can be multiplexed with other USB-C traffic through a hub

This is part of why DP is $$$ compared to HDMI.
I would love to see DP start eating HDMI's lunch after this and the absolute shit show that was the HDMI 2.0 roll out but cheaper to implement is almost certainly going to be the driving factor when it comes to consumer grade TV / Displays and no console or other set top box maker is going to bother putting display port on their device if nobody's got a TV that can use it.
An Interview with Renee James, CEO Ampere Computing
You need all of the model in RAM to perform the matmult that gets you the next token from it. There's no shortcut.
For those saying that resonance explains the phenomenon, the paper doesn't seem to say that the 'mathamatically perfect' orbits are signs of intelligence:

... the star HD 110067 has six sub-Neptune planets, all of which orbit their host star in a stable resonant chain. As the brightest star known to have at least four planets, with all planets in a remarkably ordered orbital configuration, HD 110067 offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the orbital evolution of planetary systems and the atmospheric compositions of sub-Neptunes. Three of the planets have low densities which suggest large, hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Sub-Neptune planets are one of the most common types of exoplanet discovered to date, so the question of whether they could support liquid water is crucial for target prioritization in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

...

... HD 110067 is valuable as a technosignature target not only because of its interest for biosignature searches. First, Earth views the system edge-on, which increases the likelihood of detecting radiation from any transmitters present whether intentional (Traas et al. 2021) or resulting from planet-to-planet transmissions which could be observed by their "spillover" during planet–planet occultations (Ashtari 2023); second, the large number of planets regardless of their position in the star's habitable zone increases the likelihood that an advanced civilization could have spread technology to neighboring planets, as has happened in our own solar system (Wright et al. 2022).

At think at its core, the question is "how do you make people value journalism in such a way that they'll pay for it, pay for the quality of it?"

So many of these small businesses are certified but break the law like crazy.

Part 107 means you can apply for waivers with the FAA for specific activities. They almost never do for routine stuff because it would be a huge extra cost for them.

My town is in a no-fly zone. Almost every house for sale still gets a drone video overfly. I highly doubt the guy doing them is applying for waivers and getting them approved. It is too trivial of a justification to get an approval.

You can actually look up the waivers on the FAA website, there are orders of magnitude too few of them to explain all the flights that appear illegal.
These saccharine moral statements aren't really productive IMO.

Nature doesn't care about any of this stuff.

You might as well lament the wind that blows over a house.

It's also a bit of a cognitive hijack because morality is a mechanism that existed in a very specific context because it outcompeted other genes. Applying these blueprints to this amended context is kind of an unintentional self-cuckoo.
Your intentions behind the injury, and the effort you put into the search, are irrelevant to the amount of suffering experienced by the animal if it is not found.

Perhaps one person's behavior is more ethical with regard to the decisions they made, but their effect on the world is not different.

Thus, we should make it easier for people to use tools to find such injured animals, so their effect on the world will be more positive (or less negative) than otherwise.

Like with all corruption, just follow the money.

I'm a long time resident of California, and a strident lefty. Which is to say (in contradiction to the vacuous BS most everyone east of AZ believes about CA) that the democratic party is a totally corrupt organmization that is not in the very least left leaning.

High on the virtue posturing, low on actual benfitts to working people. Not as bad as the wing-nut south of course, but certainly not focused on helping the working class.

The 2nd most corrupt political party in the US is the DNC, right behind the RNC.

Anyone who thinks either of those organizations is meant to serve anyone but the wealthy is just in denial or not paying attention.

It's sad to see how far into identity politics the US has fallen, and this is the exact same phenomenon with the RNC wing-nuts as it is for the DNC woke-nuts.

Binding oneself to an identity, immediately disconnects one from the specific details in which they are embroiled. It overrides reality with ideals.

Newsom in particular is a major source of frustration for actual leftys. He's also a demonstration that governors in California only come from 2 families 8-/

This seems like a little bit of a fearmongering. We're slowly understanding GVHD and GVT issues, suppressing one while keeping the other. The frequency of GVHD has been going down over time as we better match donors to the patient.

WW2 showed that strategic deterrence with chemical and biological weapons doesn't work.

What we really need is a lawyer/accountant/tax person to write a focused guide for collectives and how to move their money. US tax law means that generally, 501(c)(3) public charity organizations can't just transfer the money anywhere - it'll most likely need to be another 501(c)(3) or equivalent. That's going to trip a lot of people up who want to go to OC (for-profit) or OSC (a 501(c)(6) business leage), because neither will qualify for accepting fund transfers (I think).

Also, if you have any offinity for Europe, look at the OCE - they are a charity, and they sound like they're seeing if they could accept fund transfers from OCF for projects that fit their model.
