This is amazing! I've played it at the computer history museum and this is just as good (although the real circular monitor is super fantastic).
I just tested against a prompt about using PVDF vs Piezo pickups on a hammered dulcimer, running the same conversation in parallel on 3.5. 3.5 gave more-or-less the output quality you'd expect. This blew it out of the water. I particularly liked this snippet (snipped and formatted for comment size) where it managed to pull out typical values and and actually showed the math.

> Can you explain more about the response and impedance of each? I am an engineer, so you can feel free to be quite technical.

---

>Certainly! Given your engineering background, let's delve deeper into the response characteristics and impedance aspects of both traditional ceramic piezo pickups and PVDF piezo pickups. Understanding these can significantly impact your choice, especially in terms of how they integrate with the rest of your audio chain (like preamps and amplifiers).

> Electrical Characteristics

> 1.

> Piezoelectric Coefficient

> Ceramic Piezo Pickups: The piezoelectric coefficient ( d_{33} ) of ceramics like Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is typically very high. This coefficient measures the electric displacement produced per unit stress. For PZTs, ( d_{33} ) can range from 100 to 600 pC/N (picoCoulombs per Newton), depending on the formulation and orientation of the crystal structure.

> PVDF Pickups: PVDF generally has a lower piezoelectric coefficient, around 20 to 30 pC/N. Despite this lower coefficient, the material's flexibility and the ability to form larger, more adaptive surfaces can compensate in practical applications, offering sufficient voltage output under less stringent mechanical deformations.

> 2.

> Voltage Output

> The output voltage ( V ) from a piezo pickup can be estimated by the formula:

> [ V = d_{33} \cdot F \cdot A / t ]

> where:

> ( F ) is the force applied,

> ( A ) is the area,

> ( t ) is the thickness of the piezo material.

> Ceramic Piezo: Due to their high ( d_{33} ) value, even small deformations can produce relatively high voltages, which makes them sensitive to shock and vibrations, potentially capturing unwanted mechanical noises.

> PVDF Pickups: The lower ( d_{33} ) value means lower voltage outputs for the same mechanical stress compared to ceramics, but their larger possible surface area and thinner construction can enhance output levels and fidelity across a broader frequency range.

No, the publishers' lawsuit also took issue with the "NEL".

It's just that the lower court's judgement didn't really focus much that issue, because they found the broader/simpler and more-foundational "can you loan a format-shifted ebook 1:1 from your physical book" issue against IA, which then makes an anti-NEL conclusion almost automatic.

So NEL-related arguments haven't yet been the focus of the rulings, despite being part of the original lawsuit.

Thus, also, IA's appeal is mostly about that foundational finding – though section II of the IA appeal brief says that if the appeal succeeds on "ordinary controlled digital lending", the NEL ruling should also be rejudged:

>Il. THIS COURT SHOULD REMAND FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY LIBRARY
Publishers do not deny that the district court’s NEL ruling depends entirely on its analysis of ordinary controlled digital lending. Resp.Br. 61-62. If the Court reverses the latter, then it should also reverse and remand the former. It need not address Publishers’ arguments about the justifications for NEL (Resp.Br. 62), which should be left for the district court in the first instance.

I'm not going to get sucked even deeper into a debate over history. I've already said too much. I'll just state my bottom line, which is that the idea of founding a Jewish state in an Arab land, Palestine, was 100% guaranteed to lead to a massive conflict, because it necessitated the expulsion of most of the native population. You're correct that the US also committed massive injustices against the Native Americans, but that doesn't make what the Israelis have done to the Palestinians any better.

> Explain the Ivy league letter. Justifying the murder of Jews?

I haven't seen anyone in the Ivy League doing that. Antisemitism is extremely rare at Ivy League schools nowadays, and if you go to those campuses, you'll see that a large (probably disproportionate) fraction of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators are Jewish. Young Jewish Americans skew very differently from older Jewish Americans on this issue. That is doubly true for young left-wing Jewish Americans, and university students are more left-wing than the general population.
I sort of fell into making one of these as a kid. I had a left a jar of water on the window sill in my bedroom absentmindedly. I noticed later that a wasp had fallen into it and drowned. Then I noticed it was starting to get fuzzy. Then a couple flies also fell into it. I thought it was interesting, so I threw a bit of algae from a fish tank in and sealed the jar closed. It grew into a big green blob and stayed green and "healthy" for at least twenty years, certainly well after I'd left home. But one day I went back to my parent's house and it was gone.

Cool! This answers a question someone had in this thread.

> Why is this thread acting as though teaching our children self-control is somehow a different lesson?

Because some things require more self-control than others.

Imagine if the drinking fountains in public parks had non-alcoholic beer instead of water. Installed and maintained by Budweiser, totally free of charge, guaranteed ice-cold. Responsible parents would avoid the beer fountains and bring a thermos of water, but a lot of parents would just let their kids drink from them, right? And even very responsible parents would probably let their kids drink from them occasionally, because we forgot the thermos, and it's right there and it's free.

Raising non-drinking kids in that world would be harder than in this one. Everything you said about "teaching self-control" and the importance of parental effort would still be true, but it would also be true that when kids in that world start drinking earlier than in ours, it's not solely the parents' fault.

That probably sounds like a ridiculous example, but I think it's pretty analogous to schools showing Youtube videos. My kids had never heard of youtube before they saw it in their second grade classroom, and I'm not thrilled about it, but I get it, because it's right there and it's free. Raising kids is hard no matter what, but the fact that the world's biggest and best source of good educational content also happens to be riddled with crap makes it harder.

Not everything is like that. The library doesn't have Stephen King mixed in with the picture books. The Disney channel isn't also Pornhub. The parks don't have beer fountains. That's the difference.
I noticed there were a lot of YC companies trying to do similar things. I'm not sure how they think they have a shot against Copilot.
Having managed both, it is absolutely, 100%, not easier to manage NAT than a firewall. For example, here's a valid OpenBSD pf configuration:

pass out on $ext_if from any to any

That's it. That's the entire stateful firewall config: Don't allow anything inbound at all, except directly in response to an outbound connection.

If your firewall has a GUI, it'll be as easy to configure that as it is the NAT. If your firewall has a CLI, I guarantee there's no NAT in the world that's easier to configure than the above stateful firewall.

The excuse is always “But he poses a threat to democracy”, but that is the very proof that the person is not a comedian, and thus, by your standards, should be allowed to run. And heck, be elected, because nothing is a threat to democracy more than preventing people from voting the option they want (ask UK who ran 4 votes before admitting that the citizen wanted to leave; heck, ask France, who kept voting for their king, so the democratic forces killed hundreds of thousands of citizen (Lyon’s population was slashed by 2), until the parliament has had enough that the French kept voting for the king instead of voting for the guardians of the revolution and finally guillotined the king - yes, most democracies were born by killing the characters that the people wanted to elect).

Cosmic horror is a good one. I've only seen the Milky Way with my own eyes a couple of times and the last time gave me an existential cosmic horror too.

I went to sleep thinking about the unignitable size and age of what's all around us in every direction, but particularly that I had just looked at our own galaxy... a galaxy that has been there for billions of years, has always been there my entire and is there right now and there's only this tiny invisible thin bit of atmosphere separating us from it.

Then I thought about the fact tha our solar system is orbiting it right now, and we're orbiting the sun on an invisible track, and the moon orbits us on its own invisible track too.

There are multiple "1st world" societies where obesity rates are below 10% and many more near those levels. The United States is above 40%.

A global pandemic is a national emergency (I'm unsure how this cannot be argued considering the efforts both the US government and the Federal Reserve engaged in). The Internet Archive is at risk because of their actions, which can be argued to be in good faith during extraordinary times based on the events that occurred at that time [1]. You may not agree with regards to intent and the definition of good faith, but that is for the judicial process to resolve. If the Internet Archive legal entity is forced to dissolve, are legal participants on the other side of the civil suit prepared for the fallout from such an outcome (the "public outrage" you mention)?

I would argue the NEL is an example of fair use when the entire world is locked down [2] [3] [4], but I'm not the one who is defending the case. You're upset they are seeking a favorable interpretation of law through the judicial process. That isn't a Jedi mind trick, and to call it as such is silly ("The fair use right is a general exception that applies to all different kinds of uses with all types of works. In the U.S., fair use right/exception is based on a flexible proportionality test that examines the purpose of the use, the amount used, and the impact on the market of the original work.").

The exact guarantees you get from Postgres's default isolation level are pretty detailed. The manual* doesn't mention locking on constraints or unique indexes, but I can make guesses based on how I'd expect it to work. I don't see what it has to do with the language being declarative. It's not unique to Postgres, though, cause MySQL is similar.

> The study was conducted in Taiwan which does not suffer from US-style car extremism

This is true and a fair criticism of driving specifically. I noticed the location and do agree the 'driving' remark isn't as applicable to this specific study, but I still put forward the general sentiment regarding both a family's overall ability to support, where needed, and a childs ability to travel to travel if needed. Some kids won't need it, but in the cases where it is needed & they don't have it, it would lower the chances of keeping up with sports. Just one of many possible pathways that would make athletics hard to maintain.

But more generally to your point, while some sports won't require extra effort, it really does depend on the situation, which is why a study like this is so hard to carry out well. In my youth, it would have been more convenient to do lacrosse or soccer on-site, but those didn't work for with me so I picked different sports that had more of a demand for travel.
That would be one of the worst ideas for the future of PC gaming imaginable. Would it benefit Microsoft? Maybe. But it's not the future that platform independence is needing right now.

Yea I can see this in the article as well. And anyone who has read the books can probably see this wasn't the authors real interest. I can see where someone with their pulse on international politics might read into Trisolaris vs Earth being some sort of a proxy for China vs USA. But my take is that the author was just writing about sci-fi ideas from their personal perspective in China. Chinese history, politics, and culture plays into how the plot unfolds. But it didn't feel to me like they're trying to say much about the international politics of the situation. Instead the plot marches ahead into speculative fiction steeped in some current-day theories about the universe. There's certainly a lot of dabbling in human emotions and conditions vs aliens who don't share those same ideals. But like "how does the USA respond vs China" is like an afterthought of the book, can't remember if that even really came up.
