I found it a lot easier to understand the harmonic and geometric averages when I learned about the "generalized f-mean". Many averages are arithmetic averages of a transformation of the value. "f" refers to the function which transforms your values. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-arithmetic_mean

- The geometric average is the arithmetic average of the logarithm. It places emphasis on the ratio between numbers, rather than the absolute difference.

- The harmonic average is the arithmetic average of the multiplicative inverse. It averages values by a constant numerator rather than denominator. For example, the average fuel economy of multiple vehicles makes more sense per-distance, so miles/gallon should be rewritten as gallons/mile.

- The (RMS) root-mean-square is the arithmetic average of the square. Electrical power is proportional to the square of the amperage or voltage, so AC current and voltage uses the RMS average to make the power calculations correct.
Sure, at least a few people held that opinion. However, that isn't what the post I'm replying to said.

The post I replied to used the literally lowest voted top level comment as their basis of "HN didnt think he was going to jail". They skipped over all of the higher top level comments when making their post (you have to go to the bottom of page 2 to see the one they picked).

Their post is classic bad faith argument and I think it should receive a penalty (downvote).

I am thinking back to an IOS game called FlappyBird. The creator intentionally aimed for game dynamics that would hook users in the first 30 seconds. As a result, the gameplay mechanics were quite shallow and limited. But on the flip side, the game gained a huge following.

You should feel how you want to feel. However, I think certain politicians and most mass media outlets push you to have more compassion for white collar criminals and to think of others as less than human. When you hear them talk/print "tough on crime", they never seem to include white collar criminals in that. When the current admin expanded the IRS enforcement, they pushed back.

It's no surprise. After all, these politicians and the owners of such outlets are likely to be a little guilty of ripping people off a few thousand here and there as well...

We can surely build more efficient and capable hardware than our current evolved wetware, since all of the details of how to build it are generally externalized. If the chips had to fab themselves, it would be a different story.

The software is a different story. Sure, the brain does all sorts of things that aren't necessary for $TASK, but we aren't necessarily going to be able to correctly identify which are which. Is your inner experience of your arm motion needed to fully parse the meaning in "raise a glass to toast the bride and groom", or respond meaningfully to someone who says that? Or perhaps it doesn't really matter - language is already a decent tool for bridging disjoint creature realities, maybe it'll stretch to synthetic consciousness too.
The weird thing about this moment in time, if you've somehow managed to get to conventional American middle-class wealth (and that does take both genuine luck and skill and there are racial and socioeconomic disparities, don't get me wrong), is that it doesn't look fun in the slightest to be rich.

Oh yeah, VSCode's autosave has saved me hours in otherwise-lost code. I do make frequent use of its hot-exit functionality, too.

While that's great, I wish the same thing existed for a lightweight Notepad-esque app, too: I used ++ a lot for quickly jotting down information while it was being read to me (so, on the phone); having to start a full-blown IDE for this seems wasteful, and not the right tool for the job.

Perhaps the solution is just to leave VSCode open all the time, but that wouldn't work either: whenever I switch workspaces, I'm asked whether I'd like to save the unsaved files (so, just like Kate), and it can be quite resource intensive. Grr.
It seems to be the modern way, and normal on mobile apps, and I can't stand it. Why would I want the computer to save what I wrote without asking? I like being asked. I dislike computers trying to be clever.

With crypto, you would not have to trust your computing device nor your bank.

You would send $100 to your computing device every now and then. And use that for day to day spendings. If the device turns out to be malicious, you lost only the $100 and stay away from the brand that made the device.

A bank would not be involved at all.

There are absolutely times that I do not speed because I am concerned about the consequences of getting caught.

There are absolutely students in the school where I teach who follow given rules not because they agree with them, but because they are deterred by consequences. They refrain from climbing the volleyball net not from moral agreement, but because it will get them in trouble.

It's better for people to not commit crimes because they agree on the morals and principles involved... but if people don't agree or have a moment of weakness, the consequences are still influential.

Consultancy is unlikely to give VC a 100x return.

Enterprise extensions means the cursed land of open core and refusing to have features in the open source version, or a heavy SaaS push combined with a possible license change along the road, and these are the primary reasons to avoid VC-backed "open source for now".
The main difference is the Cortex-R5 subsystem. Beaglebone, the famed predecessor, had PRUs. These features paired with a powerful Cortex-A processor are really useful if you have a complex program that needs to do something (IO/control, for example) with a very high precision time-wise. If you have high punctuality demands but a rather simple algorithm, you can simply use an Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040). If you just have heavy load, you can use Raspberry Pi. One common use for Beaglebone was (is?) 3D printer control.

As far as I am concerned, the AI acceleration in BeagleY-AI's DSP is just a fad (TI DSP itself is quite respected in the industry).

I would probably say it's better to buy a Pi 4/5/Zero and one of RP2040/Arduino/micro:bit/Nucleo and master them separately, possibly with a UART/I2C/SPI link in between before moving on to a single package.

This isn't what happened - my end of the conversation was a reaction to your replies and only your replies.

You did in the prior reply - at least explictly - only. Forgive me for not making assumptions of things you didn't say.

But again, my point was that if "protection of society" is a factor in this complex system, there's not much argument against maximizing that.

All that said ...

This wasn't my conclusion, it was simply a reaction to getting more information in that reply than you had previously offered.

That 60s couple could have played it "safe" and kept their life savings in a regular bank account, and the owner of their bank could still have attempted to steal their money. That would also be fraud, and they would have gone to jail. This crime is nothing to do with whether bitcoin is a risky investment.

What do you mean by "handled appropriately as savings"? Cash is riskier than stocks over the long term. Investing is the safe way to handle your life savings.

This is oversimplifying, but stocks are essentially purchasing a stake in ownership of the company. The company uses that money to advance its mission - ideally generating more profits which are shared with the stockholders (dividends). It's that stake in ownership and expected dividends that give stocks inherent value.

There is no company behind crypto currencies that holders get ownership of. There is no product or service to drive profits. There are no dividends, voting power, or anything that gives inherent value to the coins. It's all pure speculation. Just money getting shifted around among the holders - with exchanges taking a cut off the top of each transaction.

I don't think it's a light sentence, but maybe it's not the right sentence. For the punishment to fit the crime, he shouldn't ever allowed to be rich again. I think that's more of a deterrent for this sort of thing.

I say this tongue in cheek, but mostly because I don't know what options judges have at their disposal in these situations.
Yeah, but Notepad++ is a Windows app, that is a GTK app.

As someone coming from Windows, it's crazy how bad GTK apps look for desktop. Crazy. Like I can't comprehend how did it get to this point.

Just compare the screenshots

https://www.geany.org/media/uploads/screenshots/geany_light_...

https://notepad.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/screen.gif

Notepad has 16 toolbar buttons in the same amount of width that GTK can only fit 10 toolbar buttons. The height of the tabs and status bars are also MUCH shorter. It's completely ridiculous and makes every GTK app look bad to me. Not just Geany, but Xed, Pluma, Gedit, the image viewers, the file managers, the system settings dialogs, etc. I have a mouse. I can point at things. I'm not using my thumbs or toes to operate a desktop app.

Qt's licensing sounded a bit weird. At first I thought your app HAD to be open source to use it. But once it was clear to me that you can sell apps made with Qt so long as you dynamically link without having to pay royalties or anything, the choice was clear. If I have to program an app for Linux, I'm using Qt.

And so far the only problem I found in Qt is that it uses the system's "native" GUI by default (i.e. it uses Gtk on Linux). This means that the Ok-Cancel buttons are Cancel-Ok instead of the correct order. Who puts Ok buttons at the right side? Now if I want to quickly close something, I'm clicking at the corner of the window which is the easiest point to click at, and on the top right I have close (which cancels) and at the bottom right I don't have cancel but Ok which COMMITS which is the opposite of what a thoughtless rash speedy click is supposed to do. Ok should be at the left so you can't commit things by accident. The only reason to put it on the right is if you're designing for tablets so the ok button is closer for right-handed users. This isn't how a decision for a desktop-oriented design.

I wonder if this relation still holds with newer models that have have even more compute thrown at them?

My intuition is that the structure inherent to language makes Word2Vec possible. Then training on terabytes of human text encoded with Word2Vec + Positional Encoding makes it possible to then have the ability to predict the next encoding at superhuman levels of cognition (while training!).

It's my sense that the bag of words (as input/output method) combined with limited context windows (to make Positional Encoding work) is a huge impedance mismatch to the internal cognitive structure.

Thus I think that given the orders of magnitude more compute thrown at GPT-4 et al, it's entirely possible new forms of representation evolved and remain to be discovered by humans probing through all the weights.

I also think that MemGPT could, eventually, become an AGI because of the unlimited long term memory. More likely, though, I think it would be like the protagonist in Memento[1].

Even a cursory exploration into the physiology of atp would demonstrate the ineffectiveness of this method - the heart consumes around 6kg of ATP daily, or 250g an hour, which means you’d need to provide it with more than 4g a minute just to stay pumping in isolation. Which then leads to the issue of actually delivering the ATP to the correct part of the heart (god forbid you have a posterior infarct), and ensuring enough of a quantity to keep pumping after that first bolus dose of ATP, which isn’t going to spread far given the lack of a distribution system since there’s some blockage upstream
