Arnold Schoenberg observed the deep connection between music, perception, and cognition; anticipated composers applying timbral control as is now commonly done with synthesizers; and apparently did not anticipate non-subtlety of the effect in EDM:

"I think the tone becomes perceptible by virtue of tone color [timbre], of which one dimension is pitch. ... Pitch is nothing else but tone color measured in one direction. Now, if it is possible to create patterns out of tone colors that are differentiated according to pitch, patterns we call 'melodies', progressions, whose coherence evokes an effect analogous to thought processes, then it must also be possible to make such progressions out of the tone colors of the other dimension, out of that which we call simply 'tone color', progressions whose relations with one another work with a kind of logic entirely equivalent to that logic which satisfies us in the melody of pitches. That has the appearance of a futuristic fantasy and is probably just that. But it is one which, I firmly believe, will be realized.

...

Tone-color melodies! How acute the senses that would be able to perceive them! How high the development of spirit that could find pleasure in such subtle things!"

-- Arnold Schoenberg, Theory of Harmony, 1911, toward the end of chapter 22.

Personally, I anticipate that if humanlike AGI is achieved, then it will understand the illusion of music. Not merely because music understanding is an attribute of humanlike, but because there must be something intrinsic in the process of human cognition that causes the illusion of music occur. Music understanding could be viewed as an essential waypoint on the path to AGI.

I think building a YouTube audience is more about directing users to the things that make you money rather than the ad revenue itself. That might be Amazon affiliate links, referrals, your own products or courses, etc.

So, to read into this, "countersteer" is the term that'll get you into a lot of discussion about this.

But, in-fact at speed, while pivoting the wheel will initiate the lean, the lean itself is the primary factor in steering the bike.

These weird unintuitive mechanics, are part of why learning to ride a bike with training wheels, or from a tricycle is so hard, the steering mechanism of a bike inverts from when there are 3 wheels on the ground, to when there is 2 wheels. And also a significant reason that "Balance bikes" have replaced a lot of tricycles and training wheels when teaching kids to ride a bike.
It's kinda weird, but if you want to turn right for instance you turn the handlebar slightly left and then use the centrifugal force to lean the bike to the right and into the curve.

At least that is what i got from Flick of The Wrist, a kinda funny instructional video on riding bikes (it's on youtube) :)

If people are arguing that a Jewish peace advocacy group is antisemitic, I think they've lost all conception of what that word means. They're using the word "antisemite" to mean anti-zionist or anti-Israel, or anti-occupation.

"Anti-semitism" is a hatred of Jewish people or discriminatory attitudes towards them.

There is a large contingency of Jewish people who believe Jews are better than other people (this idea is at least one of the beliefs underpinning the existence of Israel).

Calling Jews who push back against this narrative anti-semitic is like calling white people who oppose white supremacy anti-white.
I never mentioned anything about the fee, just that you have to use a different store.

... is that generally true? What are those other applications?

Like, if I want to put in new stone counters, in general I'm picking a kind of stone I like, and the firm measures or makes a template of my use, and cuts from a slab, right? If I have a really small job, perhaps it's possible to get a deal from the offcuts of some prior installation. I don't think it's generally an available option to e.g. get measurements and then peruse a list of countertops removed from recent local renovations where the dimensions are strictly larger than mine, and have my counter cut by trimming their 11' linear counter to my 10' space. But given that widths/depths are often determined by (standard) cabinet or vanity measurements, I feel like this ought to be doable, and these materials could have a straight-forward series of multiple uses.

The implementation of Nix's build sandboxing is outside of the core focus of Nix. The macOS sandboxing code is famously buggy. Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to leave to a battle-hardened, standardized, outside implementation to me.
From my experience it's the thing gamers enable after getting 120fps "ultra" in rasterization already. Rasterization-based estimations of many of the visual features are very good now, and most people I know tend to have a better end experience with higher frame rate than fixing some of the less-noticeable issues with them.

So it's probably useful if you've got a 4090, but beyond that more try it once, go "Huh, that's neat", and then disable it.

But there's always a chicken and egg problem for every new feature - it may make sense to push support even if it's not particularly useful right now, as once it's ubiquitous there may be more use cases for lower total performance cards - "light" ray tracing may be a better solution than some rasterization tricks for things like GI, or even things like AI line of sight or other non-specifically-graphics tasks.

But as gamedevs have to support the non-RT path anyway, it probably doesn't make sense to develop two separate paths. So it's relegated to "optional" visual features only.
I am pretty positive that I could teach someone to code at my level if I had a year dedicated to teaching them every day.
Thank you, that was badly needed context for those of us who've never heard that euphemism before.
> How can you possibly believe that the government, with its myriad checks and balances, is too susceptible to corruption to intervene in family life, but that parents, whose power over their children should be absolutely unchecked in your view, cannot be corrupt?

Because generally parents care a lot about their children. That has been a universal experience. There are of course some rotten outliers, but those are the exceptions which prove the rule.

Whereas governments are mostly comprised of faceless bureaucrats who will generally care far less about a child. Again, there will be some great exceptions of government employees who are truly fantastic, but the general perception I have described still holds.

That you cannot see this obvious fact means

> This is a ridiculous and half-baked ideology.

these words seem to describe your ideology. And you may not believe me, but just look at referendums or bills about parental rights and public's reaction to those. Even in a one-party state like California with progressive zealots in power, governor Newsom figured it is wiser to veto bills which encroach on a parent's rights.

Not to agree or disagree with what you are saying here, unlike Rwanda and Bosnia, which were horrible enough, every single day of the apartheid and genocide operations are funded and aided by US. And in this instance the Nimbus program is actively complicit in it. If I were to use the trolley thing here, Rwanda and Bosnia were inaction, but this is fueling and arming the trolley to be a killing machine.

Nah. I have a cargo bike with a front carrier platform that allows/requires me to lock my front wheel when parking/loading.

If I forget to unlock my front wheel, I can go about my ways just fine: it's just unpleasant.

I also ride snowmobiles on a regular basis, and if you require any effort at steering (like at braking!), that's pretty much an error: you shouldn't need to do it! And that's even at 60km/h...

tldr: Timbre, the unique quality of a sound that distinguishes different voices or instruments from one another, is complex to define and measure and is often overlooked in music theory, which tends to focus more on pitch, rhythm, and harmony.
Timbre is what makes the violin sound different from the bassoon, what makes the strings in general gives them their sound, and brass theirs. Timbre is what makes a singers voice unique.

Classical composers had a set of fixed timbres to play with, each instrument having their own. With synthesizers everything is possible.
Heads up digitizing means digitizing the road vectors on top of an image. In Etak's case we used 5 bits to display the image and 3 bits to display the vectors on top. Prior to this invention people used a method of tablet digitizing (similar to https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets) which was much slower and more error prone (and thus less accurate).
I think the sense is more they're both about hundreds of unique physical characteristics, some of which are perhaps unquantifiable.

The shape of an instrument, the material used, the type of strings, their tension, the temperature and humidity in the room. The way each player holds it, the size of their hands, the specific strength of their fingers. Some of these factors stay constant, others change from day to day or player to player. The sum of all of these together creates a specific timbre.
At first look, it reminded me of the "Supervisor" robots from "Budget Cuts":

https://budget-cuts.fandom.com/wiki/Supervisor
Pitch is the frequency of the oscillation, timbre is the internal structure of what's oscillating. Is that right at all?

Uh huh. The more common case is they get promotion and raises like everyone else while sometimes producing -ve value. Even if there's a comeuppance one day, this can go on for years before there are any consequences.
I think, some confusion, at least mine, comes from comparing bicycles to motor bikes. I imagine you are right that initiating a lean with a bicycle without steering should be fairly doable. The confusion, is motobikes are much heavier, and with heavier wheels, maintain much stronger gyroscopic forces. So while I recognize the ease of your experience leaning a bicycle. It becomes much more difficult with a motorbike.

Bringing this back to the original post. Looking at this thing, I imagine it'd be hard to properly lean it given what appears to be significant heft.

Edit: To be clear, I mostly agree that it's the lean that's the primary factor in the turn. Just a subtle bit of confusion over how important steering is over initiating the lean in heavier bikes.
Maybe "I have dead human parts in my bathroom" is not the best way to explain the situation and one would be served better if they concentrated on how to make the communication convey the intended message the best, instead of being satisfied with "technically correct is the best kind of correct".
Risky is a fine word to use too, and probably less judgmental. I would say the winners did a risky thing and it paid off, which happens all the time. I never said the people who did it are dumb I said it's a dumb thing to do which are two very, very different statements. It's also very risky to bet it all on being able to get into the NBA or NFL. That doesn't mean it doesn't pay off for some people, some of whom probably had dozens of other people telling them not to do it, they'll never make it, etc. That doesn't make the choice any smarter objectively though, except in hindsight.
I'd assume this is just a software problem. As long as we are talking about the stiffness of the joints and not the limbs I see no reason to not be able so simulate it.
That's a lot of vague vitriol, what exactly did FHI do? Genuinely curious.
I get what you're saying but that's a non-issue. At plenary meeting and conferences every country is in the same situation, they communicate via an Armada of interpreters, just like they do at the UN, at the WTO, the WHO, the NATO, and so on. Outside of those they communicate in English and/or French.

If a Greek newspaper is sending a journalist who can't speak English or French they sent the wrong person. If a local government sends a politician into the EU who can't communicate in English or French they sent the wrong person. Also, it would already be sufficient for the cause if Greek newspapers would put the spotlight on GREEK politicians in Brussels. So far not even THAT is happening in a sufficient manner...

> But IMO pre-Brexit a big reason the British government had a lot of influence over the British press (and vice-versa) while the EU government didn't was the simple issue of speaking the same language and being in the same city.

Every single press-Release of the EU is done in English language. Granted, the EU doesn't invite to press-conferences in London to talk to the local press, that's the job of the local government.

Pre-Brexit it would have been the job of the British government to promote the spirit of "We are European", but as everywhere it is more useful to their narrative to promote "We are Nationalists!"

We are talking past each other. Kids that need help should get help. One form of that help is holding kids back so that they get a second chance to master material they need for the next year. If you progress kids that are not ready you burden the teacher the next year as they have to provide more differentiated instruction. We should reduce the stigma of holding kids back by doing more regularly. Its cheaper than the wide array of tier 1 and 2 interventions.

Kids that have violence/social issue should be removed from kids that are ready to be in school. I know teacher who have kids who have been disruptive and they can not discipline them. Suspensions/ Alternative / Expulsions should be used when appropriate for the benefit of everyone else.

I don't know if you have kids, but mine are in a very liberal school in a very rich area. Very unlike where I grew up, and they cannot run an elementary school. Both my kids are Add/Dyslexic. My wife observed a class and the teacher had no ability to create a calm learning environment. There were emotionally disturbed kids in the same class who screamed / ran out of the room. 2x this year my son was asked to go fetch a kid who ran from the room because the kid that ran likes my son. We had a 504 plan which could not be implemented because there is no bandwidth.

We need to look at how we teach kids fundamentally because what we have been doing for the last 30 years hasn't worked.

> You are not arguing this from PoV of evaluating .NET as a technology or seeking to better the software ecosystem

I am evaluating .NET from exactly this perspective, and I heavily consider ecosystem openness in that evaluation.

.NET has an undeniably more closed-source ecosystem than competitors like Go or Rust or Python.

It's fine if you don't think ecosystem openness is as important as I do, that's a totally valid perspective.

I'm sorry if my post comes across as implying the way I think is "the only valid perspective" on how to choose a tech stack. My intent was just to answer the OP's question about the openness of the IDE.
Is there any easy way to run the embedding logic locally? Maybe even locally to the database? My understanding is that they’re hitting OpenAI’s API to get the embedding for each search query and then storing that in the database.

Reddit comes to mind. Who knows how much money they spent on their redesign with users hating it and actively choosing to use their old site design YEARS after they rolled out their new design.

I also run a site and when I ask people what I should improve next, nearly no one says design, even when the design is clearly not very good.

An example of a site that never changes is Craigslist. I can't even recall the last time it looked different. It's probably overdue for a redesign even.

The news is reporting on Dubai for clicks due to its name recognition, but Oman is getting it much worse due to mountain/valley geometry similar to Austin.

Having been to both, I was very worried about Oman. It's close to UAE and while the UAE is generally very flat, Oman is quite mountainous - so this much water would be amplified in the valleys and ravines between rises. It looks like Oman+UAE have had 20 deaths confirmed so far, with 18 of those being in Oman.

Geographically, driving around Muscat (capital of Oman, where mountains run right up to the ocean coastline) feels a lot like driving around Austin, very windy and hilly roads with lots of greenery in an arid climate. Culturally, Muscat is a really beautiful city, much more friendly and laid back and colorful than the rest of the Gulf (vs. Saudi/Bahrain/Qatar/UAE/Kuwait).

But the author himself says that his sentence is repugnant.

Are you saying that the author has no rational to say that?

It really looks like nowadays we cannot say "that looks racist" without being accused of being the big satan that want to cancel everyone. If this kind of "ad-hominem" is not itself not without any rational and not noisy and inflammatory, I don't know what is.

You can, if you want, defend that according to you this statement was fine and not racist. But you don't do just that, you also say that people who don't agree with you merit to be down-voted and that the forum would be better if their voice was not even there. Difficult to not see there exactly a justification of a "cancelation" of an opinion you just don't like.
