Uhh.... What? There's no guarantee that the song you hear ringing in your head after a certain time has passed is going to be in the original key, in fact there's a very good chance (depending on your range) that you'll end up subtly transposing it to a different key when you try singing it in the shower apropos of nothing.

This is by no means a guaranteed method to learn perfect pitch.

> Unlike DNA, which assumes a simple double-stranded helix, RNA adopts a diverse array of intramolecular structural features including hairpins

DNA can conform to a simple helix but it's absolutely not stored or utilized in that conformation in vivo. DNA also adopts a diverse array of particular _local_ configurations based upon it's own electro-chemical gradients combined with those of the cellular environment it inhabits.

You are adding information that I did not previously possess. And neither the article nor the previous poster offered.

As I said, the truth will out. I was just unhappy with the case previously being offered.
Also curious, what kind of agents are you building with LangGraph. Would be more than happy to help you onboard to Flow!
That software wasn't open source, was it? I don't understand how that's supposed to be relevant.

If someone prefers solution B to solution A, bringing up a situation that had neither is not a counterargument.

No, they can't. One could very well come up with some other coordinate system whose time & space coordinates are (non-linear) combinations of the usual Schwarzschild time & space coordinates. In that coordinate system, spatial slices of equal time would be different, so spatial distances would be measured differently.

TL;DR Just pretend the author wrote "[…] equally spaced with respect to some observer's frame of reference" (e.g. a stationary observer at infinity that uses the usual Schwarzschild coordinates).

A complex desktop web form with several pages, lots of combo boxes, repeating fields, etc. I cleaned up the WCAG AA issues and even the S, but the AAA requirement for click targets was out of scope but had me thinking that I wanted to make labels (say on a dropdown menu bar) as big as I reasonably could and that in turn got me thinking about how much space I had to work with on different resolution screens so I looked up those stats and tried to see what would fit in which constraints.
Tell HN: Why Fastmail is the best email service
I was concerned about the costs involved with Fastmail email service. There were several options to consider.

ProtonMail is overhyping the "encrypted" email charade. 99% of the humanity doesn't need anything of that sort. Runbox was hyping on its "green credentials". I didn't consider it much thereafter. Hey.com has a cartoonish email interface and their play on the email service is interesting but useless. I couldn't take them seriously after poking around for 5 minutes. There are other interesting services (purelyemail) but that's in Beta.

Zoho was a major disappointment backed up by a poor customer support. Email sent to their support remains unaswered even after 12+ hours. I have requested them for a refund and is avoidable. I considered iCloud+ with a custom domain and Google Workspaces but I was concerned about lack of support on both services.

Fastmail offers everything. I have my configuration set up on iphone and works flawlessly. No issues with their mobile app or any restriction on their alias generation. I have unlimited Masked Emails generated through BitWarden as my password manager.

TL;DR Stick with Fastmail for peace of mind. It is expensive but offers complete value for money.

CBC Marketplace sent a _human_ DNA sample to various dog DNA testing places and from some of them got an actual dog breed answer back (instead of the expected "error, not dog DNA").

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-dog-dna-test-1....

So if you send "wolf" to a dog DNA testing place, how accurate would that really be for "wolf" vs. "dog" when all they expect to find is "dog" (and "wolf" is very close to "dog" given overall ancestry)?
Of course not, but there are different kinds of microphones, recording techniques, processing and editing. Some achieve interesting results. An example of field recordings of nature that I like very much is [1].

Customers actually do have a way to retaliate against establishments they feel are abusive: leave a bad review. Businesses depend on the organic traffic they get from Google and Yelp listings, so sustained feedback against abusive tipping pressure will get noticed if people start to make a point to write reviews about it.
I'm working on building out an AI agent right now - looking through autogen, langgraph and other current frameworks along with just building my own logic on top of a workflow orchestrator.

The ReAct paradigm for agents makes me think of standard workflows because they're not that different conceptually: Read the state of the world, plan / "reason" based on user intent, perform actions that mutate, then go back and read the state of the world if problem hasn't been fully solved (ie start another workflow). Similar in concept from reading from dbs, computing logic, mutating / writing to new table, trigger follow on job from data engineering.
I think you could definitely do the same thing to learn relative pitch. In western music theory there's generally only 12 notes. And #1 and #12 are the same, an octave, which many people can recognize implicitly

Furthermore, while a piano might have 88 keys (still doable with practice) most actual music rarely jumps more than an octave or two.

Generally, music is also further restricted to a key/mode of 8 notes, again with 1 and 8 being the octave, which you probably already know

If I were to teach myself again, I would first find a reference for the intervals 1-8 in a major key and in a minor key. Or learn the full 12 at once if that's more sensible to you. For example the main theme from "Jaws" is a minor 2nd (2/12. Or the song for Happy Birthday (in the USA) starts with a major 2nd (3/12). I had a few more examples, but this Wikipedia article seems to have far better information than I could give you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_recognition

You could also just try to listen to music, possibly at half or quarter speed (easy to do on YouTube), and try to write down the notes, and checking your answers, I'm sure that could work.

Best of luck!!
Anywhere you have to solve the Laplace equation in spherical coordinates. For example with the gravitational field.
Piggybacking off what JamesSwift said, Netrunner seems like a game where you try to understand the rules, pause (or give up), go to an in-person meetup, get 'tutored' to really learn, then wait again for however long and try again to learn the rules. In my case it will probably be about 80% in-person learning and 20% on my own studying the rules at home.
It should be noted that a lot of people mistake relative pitch for perfect pitch.

Perfect pitch means that I can sit down at a piano (or other instrument), play one random note, and you can instantly tell me what note that is. No preamble, no tuning yourself up, you can just do it.

Relative pitch is much more about recognizing intervals - a tritone versus a perfect fifth for example.

You'll find as was the case when synesthesia became the trendy fashion of the day that a lot of people like to believe that they possess perfect pitch when it's almost invariably relative pitch.

Aren’t viruses much harder to detect than bacteria? Viruses are generally smaller and are completely inert without a host cell. Bacteria, besides be larger, also have their own metabolic processes and distinct structures you can do things like grow them in a laboratory culture until the colony is much obvious.

Your comment makes it sound like bacteria are harder to detect but if we’re already identifying viruses, locating bacteria seems easier.

(Though some viruses are bigger than the smallest bacteria, like Mycoplasma at 200nm, viruses are generally smaller)

> (classically) ... photons

Uhhh... one of those words should go.

Let's keep it fully classical and drop "photon": we're interested in gravitational effects rather than quantum ones (uncertainty, fluctuations, tunnelling, details about scattering and more). Really what we want is something to illuminate (pardon the pun) interesting null geodesics, so a thin collimated beam -- a pencil of light -- will do.

The relevant surface here is the apparent horizon, which can be measured by infalling apparatuses, and not the event horizon, the location of which is determined by the configuration of the entire spacetime. (See Visser PRD 2014 <https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.90.12...> or the corresponding arxiv version <https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.7295>).

> stay in place forever

Note the region inside the shell and the downward-pointing wedge in Fig 1. of Visser 2014 is flat Minkowski spacetime. Everything in that region will work like Special Relativity, as one would expect from the shell theorem.

In particular, a pencil of light directed outwards through the apparent horizon in Fig. 1. will ride the AH down to the singularity, but a receiver intercepting the pencil of light just inside the shell would notice nothing unusual: spacetime is flat there.

Eventually the collapsing shell collides with observers floating weightlessly inside it, and they have a bad time. But they can direct a pencil of light inwards just before the shell hits them.
At this juncture, I'm sorry that I'm having trouble understanding the exact counter point.

> Also, I want to be completely clear that my counterpoints ...

I appreciate these clarifications, thank you.

To paraphrase the article a bit, storm models basically are looking back at storms and are comparing storms with differing temperatures. We can then use this to understand what difference a couple degrees makes, this difference is due to climate change (which has raised temps by a couple degrees).

> If what we brought to the table was good enough, we could consistently and accurately predict the weather a week out.

I don't think so - this sounds like shifting the goalposts. Looking at past events is much better for controlling comparable variables compared to predicting future events. Predicting future events is a whole different ballgame vs saying "had Y happened, it would have looked like X, which did Z". Which is also to say: the variables of these two storms line up, except for the temperature variable - and this was the difference in windspeed between the two storms.

Seemingly the models are relatively predictive over the dataset they have, and since we are looking back at existing events - it does seem more solid for analysis compared to predicting future storms. The full methodology is not stated beyond this. So, our criticism of accounting for variables or neglecting variables is from a position of ignorance.

FWIW - This is the pertinent section from the article below:

> “Climate models and observations are both showing us that, in a world without climate change, temperatures would be somewhere between 2 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit cooler,” Gilford said. Because the intensity of a hurricane is determined foremost by the temperature of the seas over which it passes, Gilford and team used the pre-warming sea surface temperatures to determine the maximum wind speeds that any particular hurricane theoretically would have reached without climate change. From there, they used statistical relationships gleaned from past hurricane seasons to estimate what the wind speeds might have been without warming. They could then compare these numbers against the speeds that were actually recorded to determine how much climate change likely ramped up the intensity.

Six months ago I was at a burrito place and saw as I was paying that there was a new 3% fee for paying with a credit card. I have not gone back there since.

Asking $11 for a burrito was already iffy and by then I'd started to curtail fast food purchases. I can't even imagine paying an 18-20% fee that isn't meant to be the entirety of the tip.
In my experience, it's uncommon to be called out for not leaving a tip, at least on the East Coast of the US. At worst, you might get a nasty look depending on the context (unlikely at a cafe, maybe at a nice restaurant with good service).
Totally agree, I encourage you to give Flow a try! Would be more than happy to help you onboard. Also would love to hear if anything is missing.
The OP uses finite fields and fields are basically harmonic structures (think modular math). Assume the field is the numbers 0..n-1 MOD n. At (n-1) + 1 you will get n MOD n which is equivalent to 0 MOD n which is 0. Now assume n-1 approaches infinity; is 0 not ∞ ?
It depends. Some antibiotics pass the BBB easier than others. Some are used especially when passage through the BBB is desired.
I also used to be nervous about this, but it's really not complicated when you know how.

Just add 15% to the price. If you pay with credit card, you just write it on the field on the receipt. No words need to be said.
That's about my reasoning, yeah.
There is a surprisingly common use case for "quick and dirty univariate time series forecasts" that are basically equivalent to giving a small child a pencil, and asking them to draw out the trendline. The now-deprecated Prophet model from Facebook (which was just some GAM) was often used for this. Auto-ARIMA models, ETS etc are also still really commonly used. I also see people try to use boosted trees, or deep learning stuff like DeepAR or N-BEATS etc even though it's rarely appropriate for their 1k-datapoint univariate time series, just because it gives off the impression of serious methodological work.

There are a lot of use cases in business were what's needed is just some basic reasonable-ish forecast. I actually think this new model is really neat because it completely dispenses with the pretense that we're doing some really serious and methodologically-backed thing, and we're really just looking a basic curve fit that seems pretty reasonable with human intuition.
What you are describing is known as "perfect relative pitch." It's quite a feat to acquire it -- takes many years of practice.

My understanding of true, perfect pitch is something a bit more innate. Individual with perfect pitch do not need to rely on any other techniques.

I've known people with both types. If anything, the practical differences are not significant enough to truly matter from my observations. Many of the folks with true, perfect pitch have told me that it is a curse more than a blessing. These people tend to hear notes even when they do not want to e.g., toilets flushing in an out of tune C, the pitches in people's voices, the pitches of jet engines, CPU coil whining in D#, etc..

When a lot of modern life is constant noise and out of tune, it can be somewhat distressing for people with perfect pitch, or at least, so they have told me. I can't imagine turning off a song on the radio solely because it's a few cents out of tune, but hey, I knew people that would.

A 3% fee for a card makes perfect sense to me.

That's not far off from what the merchant is losing for credit card customers, so their options are:

1. Charge the same for credit cards as cash, and make cash paying customers effectively pay more, thus applying a regressive tax to the poor (who are less likely to have credit cards)

2. Charge more for the credit card paying customers, and they can avoid this extra payment by paying with cash.

2 is obviously better, and I would rather go to stores that take 2 than ones which choose to charge everyone more, effectively to the detriment of those worse off.
