You are just ignorant, Google search is 57% of their total revenue, remaining advertisement is just 19%, people really overestimate how much Google ad network is worth when its just 9.2% of their revenue and YouTube is just 10%. In fact if you remove search Google makes more money from selling subscriptions and services than they do from ads, so they would no longer be an ad company!

Facebook makes much more money than 19% of Google.

Edit: And I wonder why I got downvoted for being right, many here just blindly believe that Google gets their money from ads on third party sites when most of it comes from search.

But I guess your second post is right, it isn't close, Facebook would be much bigger.

Nope, I don't believe there are. Unfortunately they don't seem like they're interested in exporting their logical plans to substrait, so there's no obvious way forward.

> DataFusion is primarily a batch OLAP system, so we should be able to support hybrid workloads as well. And definitely agree with you re: Polars dev exp. That is something we are aiming for with our forthcoming Python sdk.

Ah, since this is the case, it might also make sense to tap into the datafusion python bindings which recently got a massive overhaul to have a more similar dev ex as polars (though the docs are still quite a bit behind).

I'm looking forward to seeing what the result will be! I know Ibis also is an option, but with my little bit of playing around with it, I've found it's just the lowest common denominator and doesn't provide as nice of an experience as directly using polars (or whatever query engine api is provided).

This isn't quite right -- Abel proved that there's no quintic formula before Galois came along. Galois theory gives a whole lot more insight, lets you understand why some quintics do have solutions in radicals, etc., but Galois doesn't (or at least shouldn't) get credited for proving that there isn't a quintic formula, because he wasn't the first to do that.

Just from personal experience but that list of yours seems closer to parts of a "Computer Engineering" curriculum than a CS curriculum. And I'd probably add on

- Real time systems (WCET analysis, scheduling, etc)
It seems to depend a lot on their age and experience. Years of only single 12TET will tend to pull them away from the JI "sound". However, I know a few choral singers who've tried (in midlife) to single JI and once they got over the initial "hump" they found it quite natural.

The "beating" that occurs in 12TET is inaudible to most western listeners because we've become so acculturated to it. You have to get some exposure to music where it doesn't happen before you even notice it (and thus seek out more consonant harmony).

It might make me look more closely, and a little curious, but other than that it would feel like a likely red flag.

While reading the article, I was very curious to see where that claim was going to go, since it was being set up as an interesting story.

Sadly, the claim appears to be just what we probably would've guessed was the most likely explanation.

If I may provide some constructive criticism as someone who also has a background in tuning and tuning theory: I believe the article is pretty cool and you clearly have a good background on modern microtonal music. However, it is also clear that you do not have a good background on historical tunings (there are some factual errors in this regard).

Modern sources often implicitly assume that you understand tuning theory before teaching it, I agree. The understanding they often expect is this historical theory, though. I find that understanding historical tuning based on the idea of scales to be sort of tough to understand, while the circle of fifths is a lot more useful, and before 1900, pretty much nobody wrote about tuning in terms of scales since for all practical purposes it is very easy to hear frequency relationships in fifths and fourths rather than hearing them from steps.

Just Intonation is built on top of the harmonic series (not the circle of fifths), and I would suggest that you introduce the concept of the harmonic series before thinking about scales and fixed temperaments (your "boring" solution). As someone who does understand Just Intonation pretty well, I found the idea of going straight to a concept of scales very confusing, personally. The scale for true just intoned tunings is built on top of the harmonic series relationships you showed later, and those don't all have nice intervalic ratios.

Factually, the intervals were wrong for a typical Pythagorean scale: your fifth is 2^18/3^11 when the correct relationship for the typical notion of Pythagorean tuning is 3/2. Your scale stacks fourths based on 4/3 relationships, leaving the most important interval in the scale as the so-called "wolf" fifth. Most practical notions of Pythagorean tunings used fourths going one way and fifths going the other from the tonic, leaving the F#-C# relationship as the "wolf" (if the tonic is C), while all other fifths are pure. If you illustrate this with a circle of fifths rather than a graph showing scale degrees, it's a lot easier to understand. Pythagorean tuning also isn't really a type of just intonation since it doesn't use a harmonic series on a single note, but the exact definition of "just intonation" varies by source (some would say that even a temperament like Werckmeister is "just intonation").

All that said:

I would suggest you start with some ideas about tuning, introduce the harmonic series, introduce that "just intonation" is about preserving harmonic series relationships, and then go straight to your "freestyle" section. Eschew the notion that you need to understand the history of unequal temperaments to understand the present concept of the tension between the equal-tempered compromise scale and the just-intoned harmonic series.

Since you're more interested in modern theory, and your innovation and interests are there, I think you can skip the history and just get straight to the math and the lattices. Whether you use circles of fifths if you do this is up to you (I'm guessing you shouldn't - they are not so useful for modern tuning ideas).

https://nownownow.com/ is still hand-made by me, not automated.

The only way a website gets added there is if the owner emails me, and I checked out the /now page, and decided to add it.

Every now and then I get a submission that's like "We here at XYZ widgets are currently focused on quality, service, and low prices." I don't add those.

And there's absolutely no monetization on the website, and never will be. It only takes a few minutes per week to do this.

Point is: please don't worry about enshittification of /now pages. What Akash is doing here is a fun project, and /now pages in general are not going the listicle direction.

PEP 638 is exciting because it introduces syntactic macros to Python, allowing developers to customize and extend the language's syntax. This makes it easier to create specialized features for specific projects without changing Python itself. It opens up new possibilities for innovation and experimentation, making Python more powerful and flexible.

Not in the same way, but only since Apple is very popular, so it happens often (and Apple fans like to claim things like "the devices are far superior to competitors" which irks me a little, haha).

Sometimes Apple paradigms are just a little bit different than what I know well, which makes it even harder for me since the similarity can make me operate on autopilot, but my autopilot then steers me wrong. When things are drastically different its just a matter of learning (and probably forgetting, since I don't use Apple quite often enough) the new thing, which I usually find pretty unintuitive.

> I summarize most of these as "I don't like the feel of it"

I'd summarize all of them as "I don't like the feel of it".

> "I don't like the feel of it" which is a straightforward matter of opinion, but that's a different statement then what we started with "I don't agree that they write good or intuitive (easiest to use) software, but that's just me."

I really thought "I don't agree [...] but that's just me" would communicate that it's my straightforward matter of opinion.

> if you had just said "I don't find their software good or intuitive", I wouldn't have bothered asking these questions

You are just rephrasing what I said: "I don't agree that they write good or intuitive (easiest to use) software, but that's just me." is saying the same thing as "I don't find their software good or intuitive". Maybe I should work on my online communication skills.

> I really think the model of supporting statements with reasoning makes the statements so much ire useful to read.

I appreciate this.

On "polarizing" issues (to the HN crowd) like Apple, Rust, Blockchain, etc. I've discovered that supporting statements don't usually accomplish much, other than to bait commenters that want to defend a counterpoint without listening (I probably shouldn't have commented in the first place)

For example, perhaps you forgot to flip your labels when you left-right flipped the image during data augmentation. Your net can still (shockingly) work pretty well because your network can internally learn to detect flipped images and then it left-right flips its predictions.

> switch time is long and the monitor doesn't reliably wake up

In my personal experience, obtuse monitor's firmware is often to blame.

Using a switch with one extra input port, where all data pins are connected to ground (via series resistors), and switching to that port for a brief moment, before switching again to the real intended input, usually helps some.

I can't read OP's comment anymore as it has been flagged, but in response to your comment alone: the question isn't whether it's a good idea for someone to travel to Hawaii while positive for Covid in the early days of the pandemic, it's whether the state has the legal authority to halt the liberty of interstate travel[0].

If your answer is that emergency situations warrant such "basic, common-sense" restrictions, then my rebuttal is that a) governments will manufacture as many emergency situations as needed, and b) what is basic and common-sense to one may not be to another and in either case, that ratchet will only go one way; in the direction of authoritarianism.

[0]: This liberty has most recently been under controversy again in the context of states wanting to ban travel to other states for the purposes of obtaining an abortion.

I've heard it put this way: Why would Stanford reject 95% of the people who want to pay them full tuition for the education?

I think Peter Thiel's answer is correct - The value of the education is similar to a night club's. It's about how long the line is outside of the club that determines how desirable it is.

It's not only the knowledge that people are paying for. It's the branding and the filtering that provides most of the value. So Stanford/MIT granting degrees to anyone that studies open source material will never happen because that dillution destroys most of the value proposition

Edit: Another point: what other business would not seek to dramatically increase supply of their product if they could only sell their extremely expensive product to <5% of the willing buyers? Any other business would invest significantly in increasing their production capacity. But with universities if they increase their capacity then the actual value they provide diminishes. Stanford is no longer Stanford if they have 900k students

Edit 2: My hope is that a university without enormous branding/filtering risk (Like WGU) could implement a model like this. Or a tech co could spin up a small attached accredited university that exclusively focuses on granting degrees to async learners. Like Amazon expanding their certifications they provide to granting an actual BS in CS if the student passes a bunch of exams.

> They convinced us that our homes are investments, so they can fleece us with their usurary schemes. So, what next? our organs?

It's an extortionist scheme. Every additional industry or vertical is not only proof that capitalism continues to provide "value" and move society forward, but it makes more millionaires and inflates our GDP. Currency wants everything to be traded with currency. Healthcare, water, land, sex, breathable air.

Also, this ultimately benefits the Fed and other massive financial institutions. If they get together and decide policy, they can do almost whatever they want. Then that small cabal of people can scheme with the government or military to exert control. This is mostly extra-democratic.

We'd have to switch out our entire government with un-bribable ethically driven heroes in order to even put a dent in this system.

In truth we are playing pretend with democracy. Like a little game for the peasants to play pretend. While economic and military policy is decided outside of that system.

Every inch financiers can gain, is another system under the control of economic fascists.

And to claim that it is dictated in some way by profit or merit is laughable. It is only dictated by those things when they want it to be. Another game.
