No, that's the definition of music not a subtype

> “music” includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats.

edit - I should soften this. My understanding here is that it's trying to clarify the difference between some sounds and music. Is a person talking into a mic to a group of people covered by this? No. It's specifically about music. This seems like a very basic description of virtually all music to me.
It's not very 2024, but here's the original binary you can run on your own computer, with no js or pro subscription:

I was suggesting that they fire all the engineers that work on things that don't make money. It was only last quarter that Cloud actually made a profit. That said, I think you make a reasonable restructuring case; Now you just have to figure out how to get leadership to buy in and execute on that plan. In my experience two things work against that.

1) If it isn't their idea that don't believe it will do any good and could not possibly be the "right" thing to do.

2) If they don't have a job after it happens, they will work behind the scenes to sabotage attempts to make it happen.

You can work around those, but you need "existential risk" level energy to create that sort of change in a company.
I'll cop to being pedantic. It still doesn't make me satirical. You can want me to be satirical. But I'm still being 100% authentic.

And I'm not flexing. I just shared my stance on robot rights.

The people who are flexing are people who think AIS deserve full human rights, even though AIS don't feel pain or have human needs.

My argument is that people who depend on cybernetics at a deep and profound level should have access to the cybernetics they need to have quality of life.

That's not a flex. That's just human rights in the context of technology.

The Rare Earth Metals Handcuffing the EV Revolution
As a sibling already pointed out, this is pretty much all of twitter now.

Infosec twitter moved over to Mastodon a while back, some are also trying out bluesky but Mastodon is where the community has mainly roosted.
Cost and practicality are context dependent.
Maybe software patents require releasing the source code and last for a shorter term related to the pace of technological change. Then the incentive to share the advance is preserved instead of everything being a trade secret.
Sounds like Autechre Anti EP is back, baby!
There are, you can check this discussion [1] as well.

Are they going to ban toll roads next?
Likewise. I vastly prefer the physical buttons, as I can hit them without taking my eyes off the road. The only two things I use infotainment for is mapping and music control.
Was Delphi really that bad?
Let's start with replacing Google. Count me in.

While DDG, Brave, Kagi etc are working generously to replace Google search. The other areas that I think get less attention and needs to be targeted to successfully dismantle them and their predatory practices are Google maps and Google docs.

Maps are hard because it requires a lot of resources and money and whatever but replacing docs should be relatively easier.
Ok, so I may have checked your comment history. You seem smart! Are you just over-thinking things horrendously? [*]

I'm just trying to talk about Falsifiability. That's the only thing I'm talking about.

If you posit an unfalsifiable ( == untestable) hypothesis, then -unsurprisingly- that hypothesis can't be tested.

Fun for teasing people if you're subtle about it, absolutely! Leaves people really confused until they catch on!

But when troubleshooting or dealing with issues in the real world, it's probably best to stick to testable hypotheses.

I'm not really sure how to explain this any better, it's really basic stuff, so I figure you already know this? (I mean it's basically how you can debug a program or fix a car too. I think Feynman learned it by fixing radios as a teenager, and when he grew up he ended up applying it to quantum mechanics.)

[*] Or - worse yet ;-) - are you a philosophy major?

I looked at it, but it has the OOP flaw that CUE is designed to avoid. In other words, overrides are bad and inheritance is a form of override. CUE enables one level of override through defaults or preference marks.

I recommend reading The Logic of CUE to get a gist of the theory

Clear doesn't let you skip TSA screening, it let's you skip the ID check before the screening. Clear verifies your identity instead.

You're probably thinking of TSA precheck which is a more streamlined screening you pay extra for.

This is a plausible interpretation. I probably follow a link to a tweet at least once a month, but not much more often. I use Threads almost every day. So I'm one MAU on both platforms.
Have you used CarPlay?
Do We Have the Original Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)?
It’s kinda convenient for short trips (thus no plugging required) because it just works: it shows up on screen immediately when you get into the car, no extra movements. Also, I think cars with wireless CarPlay are equipped with wireless charging for a convenient combo.

But boy it’s enraging to use with multiple phones when you share a car with someone. It will stay connected to other person phone, while in range, and, if you to call that person, car will ring. It’s chaos… or maybe it’s just me.

It's interesting, but I don't think it really confirms either interpretation. This link is about what Kadyrov says about the announcement. Not the announcement/rule itself.

One click further leads to https://tass-ru.translate.goog/kultura/20461139?_x_tr_sl=ru&...

> "He announced the final decision, agreed with the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, that from now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works must correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute,” he wrote on his page on social networks.

But again, it's all about commentary on something I can't find the actual primary source for.
I think that’ll define the industry for the coming decades. I used to work in machine translation and it was the same. The older rules-based engines that were carefully crafted by humans worked well on the test suite and if a new case was found, a human could fix it. When machine learning came on the scene, more “impressive” models that were built quicker came out - but when a translation was bad no one knew how to fix it other than retraining and crossing one’s fingers.
I am told that MIPS assembly is more regular or somehow "better" than x86, would be interesting to see if this translates to more assembler code being written for it.

I don’t find I need to charge - my phone lasts all day even with relatively heavy CarPlay use. I suspect it uses less power than you think it might because it doesn’t need to power the screen.

To my knowledge, none of the FAANGs utilize noncompetes, because they are pretty much completely illegal in California, including ones that were signed out of state. It's too much of a headache for something that can be invalidated simply by moving to California.
iRobot seems to have lost their way. They've been overtaken by competitors and haven't innovated in at least a decade.

Their lack of profit is their own fault.
There’s not much in software that other people can’t figure out on their own though. Not too much social benefit in sharing.
I definitely think the ML search results are much worse. But complexity or not, strategically it's an advantage for the company to use ML in production over a long period of time so they can develop organizational expertise in it.

It would have been a worse outcome for Google if they had stuck to their no ML stance and then had Bing take over search because they were a generation behind in technology.
Intervals are not flat or sharp. They are minor, major, perfect, etc. A 5th is a perfect interval. An inverted minor interval is a major interval. An inverted perfect interval is another perfect interval.
The article also says "If passed, the bill would bar Clear, a private security clearance company founded in 2010, from airports in California. "

The bill text introduces no new, privately-operated security line; it only says that new contracts can't be made with companies that let clients skip the security lines. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

So it's not clear where Clear could go if they can't expedite clients through either regular or TSA Pre lines and there's not an obvious (to me?) way they could operate their own whole private security checkpoints.

Then again, LAX has shenanigans like PS - see https://reserveps.com/ - that have a whole private terminal with private security for people flying public, where they drive you right to your (Delta/United/American) flight, so maybe that's the direction Clear goes?
Isn't Clear only for the pre-check and not for the scanning? TSA Pre let's you get the metal detector only but I thought Clear goes to the regular security screening unless you also have TSA Pre.
I am _very_ happy that the manufacturer of my car is a subservient cog wrt the infotainment system. They suck at when they’re not a subservient cog.
I think it’s a much more invasive search than is required to serve the legitimate security purpose (and is therefore unreasonable).

I opt-out as a matter of protecting my Fourth Amendment rights, not because I care about someone seeing my body.
Democracy is the most advanced tool for pacification of the masses. As with any tool you need to use it correctly. Most importantly you need to protect it from breakage. If not manged correctly it will fall apart in times of some crisis when people predictably elect loud speaking ignoramus who doesn't understand how wonderful tool of control he got his hands on and is not really strong enough to exploit it instead of breaking it. US oligarchs were almost perfect in wielding democracy for many decades. Protect democracy even though it helps to exploit you because in the absence of it old systems of control come back and they are more painful.
Do you folks think this is going to just sail right through?

Isn’t it premature to get excited before the proverbial ink is dry?

I’m very much in favor of a total ban of noncompete agreements.

That said, it seems like all the parties that stand to benefit from them will fight tooth and nail to see this doesn’t come to pass.

I mean it's fun to connect to humans in general... Because yeah, the ways they cope with life are often delightfully weird.

Not sure if I get why you would want to insult or degrade someone over those kinds of differences. Except that maybe you're an asshole.
I don't think the point is they have to spend their time writing more rules if they don't feel they have to, but they are the ones who would do it: with respect to the rules and policies and procedures of our government, we have a legislative branch that is supposed to draft and maintain them, an executive branch that is supposed to implement and enforce them, and a judicial branch that is supposed to interpret and adjudicate them... only, the boundary between the first and second (and arguably also the second and third) of those branches is a bit blurred as congress keeps writing vague laws that say "there shall be an agency which will prevent X" where X is something extremely high-level like "unfair business practices" and then the executive branch is forced to figure out what that means, and in the process is effectively doing the wrong jobs :/.

JFC.

This illustrates one of my biggest complaints about current Google (which has been the case for sometime):

They make their software behave as though they know what I (you) want, better than I do (you do).

So they give you the results they think you need, rather than those you really want.

Infuriating squared.

And idiots cubed.

No. They didn't. They said it was missing some fitness features they wanted and hoped that software updates or next year's rev would fix that -- which they did.

It was always clear that the form factor was workable and the execution just needed to evolve a tiny bit. The AVP has an unworkable form factor: 2 pounds of headset and battery, and wearing it means mussing your hair and makeup and smashing a strap-on dorkbox to the front of your face.

That's entirely unworkable in ways that cannot be fixed with a software update or even next year's incremental hardware improvements. This form factor is a decade away from mainstream at best.

This is nothing like the Watch and only someone with a child's view of these products would make that claim.
We all get a fair share of time, but how we use it can make a huge difference in our quality of life and performance.

Effective time management is essential for personal and organizational success. In this article, we'll provide strategies and tips for effective time management in the form of a list of prompts.

[The importance of time management]

Time management plays an important role in many areas of our lives. Personally, it helps us achieve goals, improve performance, reduce stress, and develop ourselves. Professionally, it helps us be more productive, work more efficiently, and collaborate better. Time management allows us to maximize our performance in a limited amount of time.

The need for time management

- For work-life balance
- To achieve goals and be successful
- To reduce stress and pressure

Benefits of effective time management

- Increased productivity and efficiency
- Increase performance and the likelihood of reaching goals
- Gain opportunities for personal development and growth
- Reduce stress and improve quality of life

[Time management strategy]

Time management requires a clear strategy. Setting goals, prioritizing, and setting time blocks are the starting points for effective time management.

Set goals

- Set specific, measurable goals based on SMART principles
- Balance long-term goals with short-term goals
- Create an action plan for your goals

Prioritize

- Set priorities based on importance and urgency
- Utilize the Eisenhower Matrix
- Prioritize your work

Setting up time blocks

- Allocate work time using time blocks
- Properly allocate focus time and breaks
- Organize your work according to time blocks
I used GNU Emacs for a really, really long time.

A few years ago I moved to switching my time between BBEdit and Nova, both native Mac apps and mg on any of my Linux/OpenBSD machines.

Tonight I started working on a blog post and decided to try writing it in Emacs just for muscle memory. There’s one feature I miss from Emacs that I’ve not seen in other editors: fill. In Emacs I can just reflow a block of text with M-q. I wish I could figure out how to do that in BBEdit from the keyboard without needing to dig into options. I’m sure I can but I haven’t found it yet. Emacs use of uncommon terms for things doesn’t help.

(I even made the cover art for the current Emacs manual in a mix of Inkscape and Emacs.)
One of my least favorite things about the VP is the lack of deterministic input. (Finger gestures failing to respond as intended maybe 5% of the time.) The last thing I want in VR is even less determinism.

We’re backsliding from 100% reliable buttons to slightly finicky touch inputs to inscrutable AI-backed gesture detectors. This goes against decades of HI research.
Private train cars never went away, as far as I'm aware. Amtrak has (always?) allowed folks to couple private cars to the end of their trains (for an eye-watering price, of course).

"Class traitor" isn't a juvenile insult. It has a fairly well-defined meaning and describes a set of problematic behaviors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_traitor

My vehicle (a mid teens Volvo) doesn’t support CarPlay or AA. Its infotainment system gets its data from 3G, so it doesn’t get data anymore. Music is through Bluetooth, which works well enough. Navigating means using the clunky in-car nav with no traffic data or a phone with the volume turned way up.

It’s far from ideal but at least I have zero expectations for my next car.
People like to complain about touch screens and lack of buttons, but the loss of the double DIN slot is a much worse loss. It more or less forces you to buy a new car to get satellite navigation updates or properly functioning Bluetooth.
Seems plausible to me. The taxi drivers kept Uber and Lyft out for longer than any other city in North America.
Sun Proposed J2EE (and made a mess of it) but what it is and what it has been had a lot of chefs.

It says its using lasers to vaporize seawater all around the submarine which would create a submarine sized super cavity which would have very very low resistance. The problem is what happens when the bubbles collapse. That's what causes the cavitation noise, its when the bubbles collapse. They can do so with such force that they can pull metal out of nearby surfaces.

You're twisting my words. Trees can't be the solution to our carbon problem, because they have no way to compete with humanity burning millions of years of carbon storage as fuel.

That doesn't mean trees aren't extremely important in countless different ways.

Which also doesn't mean that we shouldn't use wood as a material, if it's produced with principles.

I'm not afraid of functional programming. I just dislike it. I avoid recursion in Ada personally (others like it). I think OOP is over rated and the clarity of imperative is under rated. Though I do like how Ada provides object oriented design to imperative programs even without touching Adas OOP features (tagged types).
Isn't the interface between the TSA and the airport that the airport handles everything up until passengers get to the agents, and the TSA handles the screening?

Another example of airports choosing the order is that if you pay your airline for expedited screening (ex: JetBlue's "even more speed" at Logan, O'Hare, JFK, etc) then they let you skip the line.
