For those who enjoy Knuth's religious humor, his "Surreal Numbers" is a must-read. It's a novel/dialogue in which two characters discover an ancient stone tablet containing the Law which defines surreal numbers. "In the beginning, everything was void, and J.H.W.H. Conway began to create numbers..."
You don't have to get it. Some people don't get classical. Others don't get country and so on. I feel like sometimes treat music taste as if it was a science while it should be treated more like food. You don't all have to like or dislike the same things :)

Also, "classically trained" is irrelevant. Having a background on a specific kind of music doesn't grant you authority or insight into a different kind of music
I wasn't able to respond to any other comment in your history, because pretty much everything you post is dead. You don't seem to respond to the obvious feedback from that, but somebody needs to recommend that you stop making flippant, dismissive, and generally worthless comments, because I've never seen an account as deeply downvoted on HN as yours.

I remember seeing published numbers based on instrumented code, but could not find it.

I did a quick test with the Google implementation (https://github.com/google/liblc3) which is about 2x faster than Opus. To be honest, I expected a bigger difference, though it's just a superfical test.

A few things that also might be of relevance why they picked one over the other:

- suitability for DSPs
- vendor buy-in
- robustness
- protocol/framing constraints
- control
In the general case, I have no idea. For me, personally, it's more annoying and higher friction, so I stopped using it. The additional security it brings isn't worth the cost (to me).

Oh, boy. The ones that say "cannon artillery" operate howitzers, mostly M-777, M-109 and M-119. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_field_artillery_regime... Our allies largely manufacture their own 155MM systems.

Plenty of M-777 M-119s and M-109s are still in use. The idea that the US doesn't have or use artillery is just factually wrong. The fact we didn't have substantially more ammunition stocks for those weapons is a mistake.

They should invent a measurement unit for trackpads/touchpads, whatever we call them. Then a grade 5 touchpad will be immediately perceived as better than a grade 4 one. Or Basic, Business, Elite. Marketing teams are good at that.
>will be more of a transfer of your consciousness

Sounds like a copy, not a transfer. If you didn't physically transport the atoms, the matter, you would end up with two duplicates living at different places and time, and with different ways of thinking after the copy, as the living experiences will diverge from that moment.

This unless you exterminate the original with each copy. Also should be considered each copy may lose information, degrade (signal integrity through distance, number of travels, and so on).

It s not that european nations arent aggressive (unfortunately nationalism is only sleeping in Europe, not dead). But the idea of collective european nation only appeals to the 3-4 core countries. Most eu nations have a different notion of national interests. Even with Ukraine which is supported by all, the level of support and expectations vary very widely

Because those who make that choice believe (or have data proving it, but my feeling is that usually they just believe) that users are too dumb to understand.

That's a real problem in many situations: users are often under-estimated (they are also often dumb, which doesn't help).
You can do that in a webapp too. At first login, you have to click "Agree" to lengthy terms and conditions displayed. Until you click "Agree", your login session is only good for the terms screen, not the rest of the webapp.

Yes, I use it myself, but I do think it has potential problems. Brains make inferences. Self policing language critiquing AI is really important I think because analogistic thinking emerges when you try to describe something like machine generated texts, writing has always been predominantly intentional from a person or group, it has thought behind it. To emerge into a place where simple markov chain text streams have been superseded by LLM which can expose much more complex information makes it really hard.

NLP is extracting information from the primer/prompt, the LLM is finding data matching the semantic intent of the primer text, the result(s) are marshalled into a cohesive whole.

It's impressive Jim but it's not life as we know it.

I sometimes wonder to what extent clippy defined the expectations here. The idea of a software "agent" has been around for a while. If clippy had state, and had been coded to respond with "I see YET AGAIN you are ..." people might have been freaked out a bit earlier.
Your reasoning skills are quite lacking. Your response to my so called argument from authority is to...wait for it....appeal to an authority. That is quite ironic!

I did not argue form authority but because I was not advancing the idea that abortion is a constitutional right. I was advancing the idea that there are experts who think it is. And experts who think otherwise.

But it is not a logical fallacy to use the opinions of an expert in their area of expertise. You know virtually nothing about quantum mechanics and in a discussion about quantum mechanics it is valid to defer to what an expert says on that topic. Indeed, the court system understands the value of expert testimony for good reason. They know that using an expert in their area of expertise is valid and carries weight. Of course that does not mean experts are always right. Just means they know more than you.

None of this is germane to the point I made. I was not arguing from authority. I was talking about what I originally wrote versus what you replied with. Read what I originally wrote. Your point made no sense unless you can show that it is universally agreed by judges (or other experts in law) that there is no constitutional basis for a right to an abortion.

I am unhappy with ML as words but ML as an acronym imparts less concern. Goal seeking has been in the vocab for a long time, and usually does impart a sense of intentionality but it's coded in, algorithmically. the mechanistic approaches to goal seeking are givens, the code is an implementation of them.

In LLM we're being taken to "the intentionality emerges, it wasn't coded in" Which sould be disputed, but it's how I see people inferring "behaviour" in this space.

Agents yes, I do have problems with, having just written of them in a different but related thread (different HN story) I begin to suspect the seeds of this linguistic problem lie deep. They were there in "clippy" and the personification of the system.

highlighting these in particular because of notable regressions in the systemd 254 -> 255 release. i think there's the perception that "systemd features are so easy to use" so therefore "systemd must be equally easy to maintain". it's not.

my advice to pmOS maintainers is to experience at least one systemd upgrade cycle before committing to it in any meaningful sense. that said, if the project has the bandwidth to maintain all of these different service managers/init systems, then yeah absolutely go for it.
Well, he's not the only one living on a moving vehicle. Tons of homeless people get bus passes and ride around all day and night. A train ride is less bumpy, sure, but it's effectively the same. Although what probably happens is that this kid goes on weekend train trips and comes back home the next day, unless he's seriously mentally ill. Even the most dedicated backpacker would give up on this after a week. It's basically torture.
need to show this to people claiming "it's just statistical inference, these models can't demonstrate any '''understanding'''" as if understanding is proven to be something else. these people assume every single bit of intelligence these models show is somehow in their training set which is patently false and very easy to test that it is false.

first week ChatGPT was public more than a year ago, I tried the early model to make it play along with me inventing a new programming language with novel attributes in syntax. after some back and forth, it could translate my javascript samples to the new programming language paying attention to the new language's semantics, and could even simulate running simple pieces of code. Sure, it had some token errors here and there but it was working. It was understanding what I was telling it, and responding in kind.

Over the months since, things only got better. So I'm not surprised with the results of this post, but still astonished the same.
I grew up a PC gamer in the 2000s, so developed a very strong preference for no acceleration at all and a medium-low pointer speed.

Apple may have great trackpad hardware, but all the software smoothing/acceleration/inertia is infuriating when trying to make precise cursor movements.

I find myself constantly overcorrecting. These fractions of a second wasted add up in a day while trying to work. It's exhausting. Windows is even worse and I don't believe it's possible to completely get rid of the acceleration.

All these skeuomorphic attempts to apply physics to the UI are misguided. Why not bring back those old ugly icons and the wasted screen space too?

In the language of Linear Algebra, the type of a graph is a sparse matrix. Adjacency matrices can express simple directed and undirected graphs, and Incidence matrices can express multi, hyper, and ubergraphs.

The real power of using matrices for graphs is that you can use Linear Algebra to process them. Instead of "edge and node" thinking, LA brings the power of matrix multiplication and semirings to graph algorithms. Instead of working about edgelists, hashmaps of visited nodes, thread pools and when to fork or not to fork, by using a standard like the GraphBLAS you can just express an algorithm as a system of matrix operations, and the underlying library can choose how to run it, and on what hardware.

For example, the current state of the art GraphBLAS implementation is SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS, has a JIT compiler that runs graph algorithms on a variety of CPUs and CUDA GPUs. The same sparse deep neural network inference code that is a few lines of Python can run on a chromebook all the way up to a large GPU system with no changes, the only difference is the size of the graph and the time it takes to process it.

As graphs get into billions and trillions of edges, writing algorithms by hand that target different architectures gets extremely difficult and tedious. Future versions of SuiteSparse have a lot of exciting feature planned, including operation fusion and distributed processing. Retargeting hand written algorithms will be a thing of the past.

One of the best parts about the GraphBLAS is that the graph really does have a "type" in the programming language sense, it's a Matrix, and the same operators and operations you expect to work are there. There is great support for both Julia and Python at the moment for beginners and data science oriented folks to dive in quickly.

This is like grabbing a book from a Japanese store and complaining that it just seems like a mishmash of strokes. You don't just grab a Japanese book. You learn what it is first, the different writing systems, the grammar and then you start reading small sentences that build into paragraphs then groups of paragraphs. Then pages and then eventually books.

Ctrl+` will show the underlying formula, or you could use conditional formatting to apply whatever style you want to static values =NOT(ISNUMBER(FIND("=",FORMULATEXT(A1)))), or you could write a VBA macro to do that and more (e.g. find all the formula that have been zeroised, etc).

Generally I've started using bangs and lenses for changing searches in a wholly categorical manner. I.e. the !i bang for image search.
