The most frustrating thing about this wall of text is that the time it would take to verify all the parts is exponentially more than the time it took to generate.
From my perspective it was exactly the opposite. FM synths were great because they sounded like synths. Some of the most memorable game soundtracks of the era were that precisely because they had such a characteristic sound to them. When high-quality sampled sounds became the norm, there was nothing unique about game music any more, it just sounded like any other soundtrack. Might as well just play a CD at that point.

The MT-32, from what I understand, was based on the D-50 series, which means in theory it should have had access to unique patches like DigitalNativeDance. The problem with General MIDI is that it limited patches to the lowest common denominator, so even if a ROMpler had the potential to make interesting sounds, composers would stick to the generic ones for compatibility. I think it's no surprise the Sound Blaster (with CD-ROM interface) won over General MIDI in the end, because that way composers could record on professional equipment and everyone would hear it the same. It's too bad that it also ushered in the era of "game music" just being orchestral scores, pop music etc.
I just found the Turo first time, and the prices seems to be like 4 times more? At least if you rent longer durations.
> If that's not a problem you have then great! But most people today are using multiple monitors.

Just out of curiosity, what was complex about your quad 4k monitor configuration? As a lark, I've used xrandr to do all sorts of weird stuff and it has handled it just fine.

I've been using multiple monitors with xorg for fifteen, twenty years. (For quite a while, I used three monitors, but now I just have two.) Until XRandR became a thing, configuring them was definitely a headache, but after its release, everything Just Works(TM).

On my laptops, I've always used Intel hardware, and on my desktop, I've always used ATi/AMD hardware. Are you -perhaps- using nVidia hardware? If you are, that may be the source of your problems... nVidia's Linux support for the little things that make using a graphical desktop not tear-your-hair-out bad has always been pretty awful. (Usually because they typically refuse to do what everyone else does and go off and make an incompatible version that's generally worse.)

This is precisely the problem. Apple treats its users as dumb cattle. "We know better. Shut up and be happy with what we force down your throat."

Of course, Apple can do no wrong. Forced lock-in? "Don't you feel so much more secure now that you're firmly in our garden? Our walled garden that you cannot escape from?"
And not all invasives are weeds, surprisingly.

I recently learned that people commonly use privets as a bush or hedgerow around me in North Texas, but they are invasive in wooded areas. DFW has the largest urban forest in the US but 40% (and counting) contains privets.

That's pretty crazy, thanks for sharing, Jeff.

Overclocking was my bread and butter as a [relatively] broke teenager in the late nineties, around the era of the first Athlon Thunderbirds, when you could take a 1GHz chip and [maybe] OC it to 1.5Ghz. It was a great time to be alive, and yet this is the first case I've heard of where LN2 would not give you a dramatically better result 99.99%+ of the time! I still miss HardOCP and Kyle Bennett and his team's reviews.

That one t-bird with char spots... It still worked reliably somehow, I might even have it in a box somewhere. Those swirly finned CPU coolers were shit! I came home every day after school and volted/burned the hell out of that poor chip, not realizing what I was doing.. lol.
I have always found coolers with heat pipes provide the best cooling for mine.

> But punning lists as functions is a still mistake for other reasons

Formally speaking, you would struggle to do it any other way. If you introduce a type for functions, you need some way to get to it from lists in order for macros to work. Then that totally muddies the definition of eval. You'd basically have to replace it with some "compile" function that turns an expression into a set of lambdas then executes them. One starts to question the need for lists at all at that point, but when you start representing data as lambdas you lose the well-foundedness of lists. Suddenly lambda isn't something you can write down but just an output from "compile". If you wanted to write lambda in terms of lists, they would need be written in terms of lambdas and you end up with an infinitely recursive problem. So lists are never really written down, just constructed by "read" and input to "compile". What you have at that point is no longer lisp, but just a compiler to lambda calculus.

I think the lesson here is really that lisp is a convenient syntax but a lousy model for computation. From that regard, saying "I'll do a purely formal lisp" is a mistake. The formal component of lisp is a waste of time and only its practical aspects are useful.
I replicate things I don't understand all the time. I replicate bread. I haven't a clue why it turns into bread. I just follow the instructions and it becomes bread.

We don't need to know how to simulate consciousness. We only need to simulate atoms. The rest will fall out. Maybe there's a shortcut. Maybe we only need to simulate molecules. Maybe only cells. But one way or another, we can skip the understanding consciousness part.
I'm skeptical that AI can actually replace writers like ai people seem to think it can. In marketing, I don't think the actual writing is really that much of the cost compared to paying Google and meta and serve the ad, unless you're doing something crazy like fully personalized ads, which I'm not convinced are actually better considering for creepy they are. For writing a novel, I've not heard of any books that are mostly written by AI that people actually want to read and most authors I've seen speak about it seem to hate the technology. And again, the unit economics and market make me think it makes more sense to invest in making a better novel than trying to pump out ai garbage in a winner take all situation. I don't really get it for technical documentation either, where the thing you're really trying to get across is human understanding. The point is not to just pump out garbage, it's too actually understand something than translate that understanding into words. I'm not convinced LLMs can do that right now.

The one area I've seen it work great for in meeting transcripts and summaries, but that's not a convincing use case if you're losing money every time a user uses the service.
Perhaps IT at $DAYJOB has pinned to one of the few good versions of GlobalProtect™, but the only trouble I've had with it on my work-issued Mac (and this is a recent trouble) was it refusing to pop up the dialog to enter two-factor creds.

Crime is a factor in many cases, sure. But then so is emergency access/egress. If there is a wildfire near this neighborhood, we only have two ways out, and over 900 homes to evacuate via those two ways. Consider the traffic jams that we saw during the Steiner Ranch fire years ago.

Now, make each one of those properties dual family housing, and suddenly you’ve got twice as many people to evacuate, but you haven’t upgraded the roads or any of the other utilities. And that’s very bad news. Unfortunately, that is exactly the situation that the Austin city council has created.

Property values are certainly going to go down as they cram more and more housing into this space. But the cost will be in human lives when the wildfires do hit.

Can we prosecute our city council for manslaughter? Or even murder? How long do we have to wait for these deaths to occur, so that we can finally prosecute for them?

SLS cannot get from the ground to the moon and back with just the one rocket. Orion is too heavy to land and return from the Moon. That's why the plan, even before Starship's involvement, was to transfer from Orion to the lander in lunar orbit, either directly or via the Lunar Gateway spacestation.

I think this statement is unclear. You can currently sideload applications on ios, but you have to agree to terms from apple, have an appleid, and then you can compile and run an app for a few days. Then the app stops working. lather, rinse, repeat.

Honestly, I think apple is back to the wandering misguided apple before steve jobs returned. There seems to be no leadership, just the 1984 commercial, maybe with bright art-deco colors added. leadership would cut through all this nonsense and straighten things out.

Yes, people are capable of convincing themselves of all kinds of nonsense. The kind of ontological emergence you would require in such a model of qualia is still of a completely different kind than any other kind of emergence, and so still requires extending the ontology of basic physicalism. There seems to be very little motivation to do so at this point. Let's not repeat the mistakes of vitalism.

I understand it didn’t land on the moon but it flew to the moon and back (which is what my comment was saying) in 2021. The mission wasn’t perfect but their half of Artemis was demonstrated. Starship has not yet shown to be capable of completing its half.

Artemis 2 and 3 should be delayed until NASA can fix their shit.
Well, you handle errors by needing to explicitly handle them at the point of error, as opposed to all callers needing to anticipate and understand every random system error from 10 levels deep of APIs (or just throw them all away).

> error passing is via try/catch, which is the best error handling pattern we've figured out so far

The best error handling pattern for scripts we've figured out so far, but at the same time the worst error handling pattern for systems known to man.

People seem to miss the forest for the trees here. The goal is to get a base on the moon, and this is the first step. Starship will eventually be bringing lots and lots of cargo to the moon for this purpose. Bringing people there for a few days and then bringing them back is a very short term goal.
I don’t see how it changes anything. You’re still handling a second branch as if an error was thrown. It’s just called null.

Practically, though, I like it because JavaScript’s error handling sucks. I generally avoid using try/catch as a first class member of my software.

>making it explicit which operations are fallible and what errors they produce

I should specify that throwability needs to be part of the function signature to be useful in the language. As for what types of errors: At minimum they should provide something you can show a user, maybe after adding context, and the machine-readable codes should be documented, both of which are points of failure, but the ability is there.

Interestingly, Swift is getting typed exceptions, which seems too good to be true. I'm not sure how it works when passing exceptions up the call chain.

As for Optional/Maybe, as I replied to a sibling, that's not really comparable. It's not for error-handling because it doesn't provide an error. It's useful for when something might not exist, but not so much for when some input is invalid, etc, since it's more verbose to explicitly fork on null and return early.

As for Result<T,E>, it has a subset of the same problems: Can't pass it up without writing a fork/switch unless it's just a wrapper function that returns Result<T,E>. And it makes things less composable or require extra forks when something is expecting T. But, like Optional, it definitely has uses: Like if you're using a callback system for an async function, where throwing is impossible.
My mom was an RN and almost never took me or my brother and sister to the doctor when we got sick. Vomiting? Sip some 7-Up and rest. 24-48 hrs later I'm back outside playing at 100%. Same with practically every other malady.

I like my HDHP. It's honestly not that much different than the other plans my employer offers. They all have large deductibles in my opinion. It's great because my premiums are lower and I contribute to an HSA. The deductible is only about $2k higher than the other plans. And yes, I have used it. I've hit my maximum out of pocket cap multiple years with it. I would have hit that cap under the other plans as well.

Now, that might change as I get older and I need care for chronic conditions that wouldn't hit the out of pocket max but would be above the deductible. And they aren't right for everyone - you need to be making enough to max out your HSA. Companies pushing low wage earners into them are probably predatory.
probably meant to say "libertarian" .. and to put a finer point on it, the government with jurisdiction over trade does indeed get to know how much money is traded with, and with whom.. on the reporting decided on by regulation.. not a wholesale dragnet monitoring of every transaction and every account balance. Meanwhile, modern finance is such that financial products are unequal, especially over borders, so the right to trade money and the like over time is included in legal definitions of private property. .. something like that.. ?

And a few more on on the Orion capsule:

"Orion, the capsule that launches on top of SLS, is a relaxed-fit reimagining of the Apollo command module suitable for today’s larger astronaut."

"The capsule’s official name is the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle, but finding even a single purpose for Orion has greatly challenged NASA."

"Where Apollo was built like a roadster, with a small crew compartment bolted onto an oversized engine, Orion is the Dodge Journey of spacecraft—a chunky, underpowered six-seater that advertises to the world that you're terrible at managing money."
A better comparison would probably be F# and OCaml.
