Still ignoring geology, huh? The long timeline and different conditions at the start of life are clearly readable in the geology. For instance, the banded iron formations.

> If anybody has a clue how abiogenesis works, then they should prove it by doing it. Manufacture some bacteria out of sand.

Naturally the only way to demonstrate "having a clue" is to jump straight to accomplishing your favorite chemically implausible but snappily-phrased challenge, that requires full understanding of life itself as well as advanced experimental manufacturing facilities. This is definitely how science works, and there's no way you would turn around and claim that because it was an orchestrated experiment under controlled conditions, it doesn't actually prove anything about the early earth. Anyway, give them time, they're working on it.

> Claiming “it takes a trillion years of primordial soup” is an another wild unsubstantiated claim that anyone can make. That’s the same thing as saying: ”wait a few centuries and God will show you.”

Good thing no one is actually claiming that then, huh? You should really catch up on the science. You sound like you stopped reading ICR tracts in the 90s.

Moving on, I notice you're already jumping into the classic "the creator could have created things in a way consistent with evolution" brand of special pleading. This is 3/4 of the way to admitting that the evidence clearly favors evolution.

Your last paragraph is too divorced from actual logic and evidence to be worth dissecting. Suffice to say, you fallacy is non sequitur.

In the context of discovering brand-new companies, it does come across as somewhat ironic.

Maybe consider the "Kodak recipe" for an alternative? [1]: "Keep it short, easy to pronounce, and avoid similarities to existing names or associations." (short is harder in 2024 though!)

I'm on the fence on whether the name should have meaning. There are plenty of successful companies on either side.

SysV/Itanium/Win64 knows nothing about the abstract difference between a 64-bit value and a 64-bit value inside a class instance. Don't see what prevents the solution from the language side.

> Universally supported as `__restrict`

1. That's not C++. If we're talking about what compilers can offer outside the language standard - that's a different discussion. We don't have to standardize, then, just get a working implementation somewhere and lobby other compiler-makers to adopt it. A compiler might implement Baxter's "safe mode" idea as a non-standard extension, for example.

2. Even the compilers supoorting `__restrict` only support it for parameters of functions - nowhere else.
ISPs would be required to disconnect people who are found to be connected to various torrent sites under the claim that they pirate, then it expands to perfectly legitimate sites, and then the internet becomes useless, and violence breaks out.

The simple claim and bureaucratic framework similar to DMCA would largely bypass the courts and deprive people of their paid services, as well as access needed for various societal tasks (i.e. passports, mail issues, taxes, etc) first without due process. Basically the same as getting an injunction without having to see a judge or provide adequate proof.

In other words the RIAA and their friends, under color of law may become its own kangaroo court or something along those lines.

I am not sure where the disconnect is. Having a database that can provide a permanent unalterable record of all transactions, even when running over a distributed network, seems reasonably important to me.

> Relatively modern, capable tech corporations that understand that their code is an asset.

I strongly disagree with this. The more code you have, the more resources you have to spend maintaining it. There is a very relevant example close by in the post: the bit about Google having a clang-based tool that can refqactor the entire codebase. Great! Problem is, an engineer had to spend their time writing that, and you had to pay that engineer money - all because you have an unmanageable amount of code.

The real tech asset is processes: the things you have figured out in order to manage such an ungodly amount of code. Your most senior engineers, specifically what's in their heads, are an asset too.

Western pop consensus on PRC is reliably frequently (almost deliberately) wrong that that the consensus _is_ the extraordinary proof, because these narratives are designed to be cope propaganda.

But the TLDR is it's the quality of workforce not the demographics that drives productivity and growth. JP TFR went below 2 in mid 70s, their economy has grown by 2000% relative to Yen. Same with SKR, TFR went below 2 in mid 80s, economy grew by 2500% relative to KRW... the sauce? Skilling up relative % of workforce to compete on higher end / higher value / higher paid industries. The current limitation with both these countries is they're small, relative to PRC, they've maximized human potential, reaching around 80% skilled workforce, basically the ceiling, they can no longer generate surplus enough talent to compete past limit.

PRC went >2 TFR in 90s, but they have so much people that they're still at 20% skilled workforce, the academic reforms to churn out tertiary only put in place ~10-15 years ago, their headroom is still very high. As in generating OECD+ in skilled talent combined per year. They're on track to add more STEM in the next 25 years (birth cohorts already predetermined) than US will add people (birth and immigration inclusive) - they're on track to have 2-3x more STEM than US total. Meanwhile their catchup in last 10-15 yeras was basically going from fraction of skilled talent to ~parity with US. The TLDR is PRC is in process of undergoing the GREATEST "productive" demographic divident in recorded history, and competitors are not remotely close. Will PRC reach ceiling like JP/SKR with >2 TFR, of course, but not until way past 2050s when they reach 80% highskilled workforce and can't replace at parity. And realisitally that's also a PRC who is multiple times larger than it is now (not 2000% but substantial).

If the full demographic argument is PRC will eventually demographically collapse, likely after most of us are dead, and growing multiple times current size because they generated a workforce larger than west can compete with... then that's going to make people shit bricks.

For reference entire PRC lol demographics narrative was popularized by Zeihan... who keeps forgetting the politics in geopolitics, i.e. US has most deep coasts for ports... except PRC dredges and builds the most productive ports; US has most naturally navigatable waterways, except PRC builds out / maintain their internal waterways with signifiantly more utilitzation. US has immigration... except at PRC scale, even shit TFR properly directed is more talent than US can realistically compete with. 4:2:1 pyrmaid? Yeah kind of PIA... except highest household savings rate in the world, and large regional CoL disparity means you can dump a lot of retirees in nice inland retirement cities one day where they cost fraction to upkeep but still maintain relative good QoL, better than what they grew up with. There's a lot of arbitraging opportunities. And in cases of upper quantiles, that 4:2:1 turns into wealth transfers to the 1 gen to start families.

Here's another one that shows standalone jamo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_Hangul#/media/File:H...

So, basically, all the consonant jamo were simple geometric shapes, with more straight lines and fewer curves. For vowels, what is today treated as a line with a stroke was actually a combination of a line and a dot (the dot itself being a glyph for a vowel that has since disappeared from the language).

I'd like to answer your questions.

While no finite audio clip qualifies as bandlimited, the Nyquist theorem cheats by assuming that the audio clip repeats indefinitely. Doing so results in sharp frequency lines, separated by gaps of zero. Each frequency line lies on an integer multiple of the audio clip's length, the fundamental frequency.
Equivalently, every finite audio clip has a time-discrete Fourier transform.
Mathematically, an audio clip of length T seconds at a sample rate S Hz must have DFT coefficients separated by 1/T Hz, with a maximum frequency less than S/2 Hz. For example, a 1 second clip at 48000 Hz has DFT coefficients between [0,24000) at every 1 Hz. By increasing the length of the audio clip, the frequency resolution increases.
In asking for the error, you ask for the values between the discrete Fourier coefficients. What happens outside of the audio clip determines what happens between coefficients. If the signal repeats, interpolate zeros between coefficients. If the signal goes to zero (not exactly bandlimited), interpolate a sinc function summation between coefficients (this has to do with summation of the rectangular/boxcar function).
How much overhead/error/lookahead is needed to approach the Nyquist result? Theoretically, none. But in practice, perfect filters don't exist.

In practice, how big is the difference? In order to properly record a real waveform, the signal must go through a physical low-pass filter, or else risk unbounded aliasing. The answer depends on the filter specification. I pulled up a Realtek ALC892 datasheet. When sampling at 44100 Hz, a -1 dB passband at 20158 Hz, and a -80 dB ADC stopband at 24916 Hz. Yep, that allows aliasing to pass through, yet it remains somewhat passable. No surprises from a cheap chip. Hence the importance of oversampling during recording or reconstruction in better chips. The audio files themselves don't need it because the error comes from imperfect filters.

Hope this helps.
It's such a common aspect of languages too that many people don't even realize when they're doing it in their native language!

People get lazy - especially natives who don't get confused because it's how most natives will talk. For example, every word ending in "ing" in your comment could drop the "g" sound when spoken. Plenty of English speakers do that when speakin' and not many people would think anythin' of it until a frustrated person learnin' English asks why nobody is pronouncin' the endin' "g". Droppin', changin', and blendin' sounds is why learning a language by listenin' to natives speakin' is so important instead of crammin' textbooks all day.

Some might consider this a regional thing/accent and I'd argue that it both is and isn't. To the extent I tried to illustrate it would likely get seen as an accent but the occasional droppin' of it is somethin' I've heard across so many different English accents that I'd argue it isn't only an accent thing.

In the US it's mostly associated with a Southern accent and in England it would be the English Midlands like Brummie or Mancunian.

Well in tech there are also higher barriers to entry brought about by the anticompetitive behaviour of the incumbents. Hence startups need to invest more until they are profitable or are killed by the incumbents.

Not necessarily true. You either pay the margin for a contractor, or pay the janitor more in-house.
I'm honestly happy with them starting local-first, because... imagine what it would look like if they did the opposite.

In which case the "API" would be governed by a contract between Anthropic and Github, to which you're a third party (read: sharecropper).

Interoperability on the web has already been mostly killed by the practice of companies integrating with other companies via back-channel deals. You are either a commercial partner, or you're out of the playground and no toys for you. Them starting locally means they're at least reversing this trend a bit by setting a different default: LLMs are fine to integrate with arbitrary code the user runs on their machine.

Surely when the price of power turns negative, you just start to disconnect panels from the inverters at the low-voltage side? The voltage remains, but no current flows, and no power is generated. If switching huge DC currents is the issue, this disconnection can be pushed down towards the panel level; relays/contactors would do fine, and you can dial capacity up and down by connecting or disconnecting a greater or lesser area of panels.

Is there some electrical engineering reason this cannot be done?
Thank you so much for these questions! For clarity, I’ll copy and paste the question for each response:

Q: Can your sensor product feed data to open-source software for hobbyist and professional agriculture?

A: Yes, our sensors can definitely feed data into open-source platforms, making them a great fit for both hobbyist and professional agriculture setups. The guide offers a helpful starting point for integration. Additionally, data collected by the sensors can be exported as a CSV through our consumer app. This makes it easy to process the information or import it into FarmOS or other open-source tools you might be using.

Q: Where is the identifier on the sensor? How does the user scan the visually-confirmable sensor barcode or QR code or similar and associate that with a garden bed or a container?

A: Each sensor uses its unique MAC address as its name. To make setup even easier, each device features a visually confirmable barcode or QR code. Once connected, the sensor’s indicator lights confirm the connection status, so you’ll know right away when it’s properly associated.

Q: How does it notify of low battery status; is there a voltage reading to predict the out-of-battery condition? Is there a configurable polling interval?

A: For low battery notifications, the device features a red indicator light that activates when the battery is running low. Additionally, you can poll the device over Bluetooth to get the current battery level.

Q: How do I find a sensor unit with a dead battery; is there a low-power chirp, or do I need a metal detector or very directional wireless sensors and triangulation or trilateration?

A: A low battery is signalled by the sensor’s lights turning orange, while a dead battery is indicated by the absence of flashing blue lights. If the sensor still has some power, you can poll it via Bluetooth to check its battery level.

Q: Are there nooks and crannies in the casing?

A: Yes, if you’re thinking of something specific for this — please let me know! I’m happy to chat further :)

Q: How to replace the battery?

A: Currently, the battery in our sensors is not replaceable. However, when the device reaches the end of its life, we’re committed to sustainability. We plan to offer users a significant replacement discount and take back the module and responsibly recycle it into new Montys. Interestingly, the original Monty design included a removable battery pack. Through testing, we discovered that most connectors weren’t durable enough to withstand the tough composting environment, so we shifted to a sealed design to ensure long-term reliability.

Q: Can they be made out of compostable materials? E.g. carbon with existing nanofabrication capabilities

A: We’ve trialed biodegradable plastics in the past, but we found that they degraded in the field. Instead, we’ve opted for a 100% recyclable plastic material to ensure that it is able top withstand harsh compost conditions.

Hopefully, I’ve covered everything here—if you have any further questions, just let me know!

Typically you just sue all three, which is called joinder. However this may be out of scope for small claims. Practically, banks and insurance companies seem to be immune to lawsuits, so I would put the odds of this working at very, very low, whereas if a ycombinator meal prep startup intentionally poisoned you I would expect a lawsuit to get through much more often: somewhere on the order of magnitude of half the time.
Real-ID is such a farce. I have had an ID since I was 15, and presented my birth certificate and ssn as a minor to do so. There is no instance where I am not "real".

Here are a couple points of confusion for me:

1. The sampling documentation is confusing. "Sampling" means something very specific in statistics, and I'm struggling to see any connection between the term's typical usage and the usage here. Perhaps "prompt delegation" would be a more obvious term to use.

Another thing that's confusing about the sampling concept is that it's initiated by a server instead of a client, a reversal of how client/server interactions normally work. Without concrete examples, it's not obvious why or how a server might trigger such an exchange.

2. Some information on how resources are used would be helpful. How do resources get pulled into the context for queries? How are clients supposed to determine which resources are relevant? If the intention is that clients are to use resource descriptions to determine which to integrate into prompts, then that purpose should be more explicit.

Perhaps a bigger problem is that I don't see how clients are to take a resource's content into account when analyzing its relevance. Is this framework intentionally moving away from the practice of comparing content and query embeddings? Or is this expected to be done by indices maintained on the client?

> Who's we? Al Qaeda reduced it down to ~4 per year because now passengers no longer assume to survive and act accordingly.

You think hijackings decreased because the passengers are more likely to attack the hijackers now?

I think it’s more likely that surveillance and intelligence is better now and most hijacking attempts get discovered before they are executed.
