Despite what you believe, I really am trying to highlight why your advocacy will likely go nowhere.

I thank you for pointing out QALYs. I had not heard of it. I have read now a few journal articles, and none of them say that QALYs stand alone. For example, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1524-4733.2009... says:

> Aggregate health gains, measured by conventional QALYs, are one of many inputs to the processes of individual clinical decision-making, societal or programmatic audit, or resource allocation. The other considerations, including equity and fairness, need to be considered separately in the conventional QALY approach.

Or https://www.valueinhealthjournal.com/article/S1098-3015(24)0... is more recent article, from earlier this year, titled "Quality-Adjusted Life Years, Quality-Adjusted Life-Year-Like Measures, or Neither? The Debate Continues"

> The assessment of effectiveness is not and can never merely be a technical exercise. Whatever measure of effectiveness is chosen—even one that has the seeming appeal of being “objective,” such as a clinical endpoint—implies a value judgement about the importance of the various aspects of treatment outcomes.

> It is also important to remember that QALYs and their use to estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios inform, rather than dictate, decisions. Limitations of QALYs—or, indeed, any chosen alternative to them—can in principle be handled via careful deliberative processes or addressed by the consideration of other kinds of evidence and decision rules, as is typically the case in the HTA processes of many jurisdictions.

My gallop gave specific examples which require value judgements, and therefore cannot be made with "relatively simple algorithms".

"Same for any other example."

You don't seem to understand that no matter what system is used, it's fundamentally driven by political decisions of what is appropriate.

We know that politics means some healthcare systems will prohibit gender affirmation therapy. Can the person go elsewhere, where that is allowed, and pay for said therapy, or does the other system have to accept anyone who shows up, on a first-come-first-served basis?

Your proposal seems to say that there can be no healthcare outside the government system, so those who want chiropractic treatment, those who want acupuncture, etc. are forbidden by law from even using their own money. (I picked these two because while the science doesn't support their efficacy, often require licensed practitioners because doing it wrong can kill people.)

There are not simple solutions, and the longer you insist it's true the more cold shoulders you'll receive.
Umm yeah but I don't travel with those. I keep them on site. And just plug in my phone when I get there. I have one set up at every place I am a lot.

> So you'd first design timbres, and have an idea about how timbres interact, timbres change, transform to each. You may have a theory of counterpoint of timbres. Once you have this, you can apply any standard "harmony skin" on the composition and you have a piece

I asked the same question above, because I'm not sure if you're alluding to the same thing here or something different. May I have some examples of traditions which do this, with something to go listen to?

Nobody else really cares about the lower order bits of the idea but they do care that those lower order bits are consistent. The simplest example is color grading: most viewers are generally ignorant of artistic choices in color palettes unless it’s noticeable like the Netflix blue tint but a movie where the scenes haven’t been made consistently color graded is obviously jarring and even an expensive production can come off amateur.

GenAI is great at filling in those lower order bits but until stuff like ControlNet gets much better precision and UX, I think genAI will be stuck in the uncanny valley because they’re inconsistent between scenes, frames, etc.
It depends on what you mean by less physically capable. I'm in my early 50s and can do several things -- like run, cycle, or climb -- better than when I was in my 20s or 30s. But I'm not as flexible as I once was and I do have a bit of arthritis in my fingers.
Backup describes what they are for. There are many ways to do backups. The main thing is that backups are archive stored away from danger. There are different kinds of danger and different need for protection.

Snapshots can be backups depending on where they are stored usually not if stored locally. For example, RDS snapshot is backup for database going down but not account being deleted or region destroyed. Generally, snapshots are way to make backups to more durable medium.

Maybe I'm a bit biased because I was there for a study visit in the eighties. Of course it depends on the use case; if the composition is fully electronic, the composer can essentially be the same person as the performer, conductor and producer, so there is no big need for a score; live coding goes even further and "the composition" appears during the performance; specific tools have been implemented for these use-cases (e.g. Standford has a long tradition for such tools).
But an N-point moving average isn't adaptive, no? It has lag, this filter can adjust the smoothing effect to reduce lag. The exponential moving average is just one part of the presented filter, that's not the innovation here.
There is a parallel to the public suffix list, which domains like github.io are listed on: https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat
function areAllTheirHatsGreen(someone) {
return someone.getHats().every(hat => hat.color === 'green')
}

I wonder if there's a language or programming paradigm where this function wouldn't be determined simlarly.

I think best you could do is make a validation check that throws an error if there's no hats at all, but would that make sense?

What if you have a function that has to return a boolean and not throw an error.

Yes, I didn't mean it as it being a paradox just the problem I hate the most. I should've worded that better.

The reason I hate it is that it's a example of how to lie and mislead using statistics and that the only reason it exist is that a content creator in the print media wanted to give an edgy true answer to farm engagement, and now as a consequence many introductory statistics course make students suffer for the same reasons. The assumptions made to reach that answer are not made explicit and it changes the response. And teachers mess it up a lot of the time which lead to a lead of head-scratching (or sometime just leave under-specified on purpose).

It was the right answer to a question that wasn't asked. the host opens the door before giving the choice and the door he's choosing isn't random.

Wikipedia explains this better than I would be here's the part I'm talking about:

> In Morgan _et al four university professors published an article in _The American Statistician_ claiming that Savant gave the correct advice but the wrong argument. They believed the question asked for the chance of the car behind door 2 _given_ the player's initial choice of door 1 and the game host opening door 3, and they showed this chance was anything between 1/2 and 1 depending on the host's decision process given the choice. Only when the decision is completely randomized is the chance 2/3 .

Isn't there some recency bias in this, considering home battery backups are relatively new tech (at scale), and the other measures of fire risk are millennia old?
> The fires in HSS in Germany were determined using web crawling for the year 2023 because no other data was available. All other probabilities were calculated using researched data.

HSS may also be underrepresented in the scrapped data due to the method used. The document sections Discussion and Limitations and Outlook touch about this. The authors highlight a lack of common categorization of fires types and count as well as the need for a standardized reporting framework.

Another warning made by the author is that their document investigates the number of fires but not how much damage was done.
The issue with the "past the observable universe horizon" is that it is an entirely untestable theory. It may be true, but it may as well be irrelevant because according to our understanding of the universe, we are never going to be affected by this fact (since it's in a part of the universe from which information may never reach us).

When I was a kid, my CRT sometimes switched to a wrong resolution (it got narrower, so squares became slightly rectangular, for example). I say "my CRT", because that was a hardware, not software issue. I know, because kid-me solution was to smash the (hard, brick) wall with that CRT. And it worked. I still don't know why, I was too young to investigate - and hey it worked so why bother.

My parents were less impressed, when after a few years the screen was moved and the wall was scratched everywhere.
A backup is something that will functionally replace the original should the original fail, regardless of how the original failed. For data, this means that the restore process is part of the backup.

Snapshots are not backups. Snapshots on RAID are not backups. Snapshots on replicated disks are probably backups, so long as the disks being replicated to are not inside the same case/building/city/continent (pick your risk suitably) and you're not able to delete the snapshots from the machine hosting the originals.

The second SIM in my phone provides a backup for my primary service provider, so long as I keep it activated. The torch in my pocket is a backup for the lighting in my house, so long as I keep it charged. My data in tarsnap is a backup, so long as I'm able to restore it. Which means data in tarsnap isn't a complete backup on its own: unless I'm able to recover the encryption key, I don't actually have a backup.

This addresses my previous reply to you, thanks. I wonder though if there's a problem in that common natural language is inherently limited to common concepts. Scientists famously use confusing language in their papers but they're writing for people who use the same language so it's OK. For example, they use "consistent with zero" to mean "might be zero" even though a common-language reader can interpret it as "not zero". I suppose logicians use "or" to mean inclusive or in their papers too.
I was about to add a similar comment. Definitely interested to read his evaluation and whether there is more hype than substance here, though I'm guessing it may take some time.

We had a home near us in the last decade where the propane tank exploded. I don't know the details, there are a lot of things that go into something like that happening, but one of the things found during the investigation was that, per the building code, the propane tank was too close to the house.

The news went on to say that some non-trivial percentage of residential propane tanks were positioned in a way that wasn't up to code. Because most manufactured homes don't have traditional financing, they aren't subject to the same code inspections, yadda yadda, house goes boom.

The risk of a fire with a home battery system might be lower, but the outcome is an unknown. I've had engines and stoves and fryers and furnaces and chimneys start on fire on me. I know how to deal with those things, even if they are scary. A battery fire, I have no idea how to deal with. Coupled with code standards that are probably not as mature as they should be, and may not see the enforcement they should, and I am content to wait.
As someone who studied computer music in the mid 2010s I can second that! All the composers in my generation who use live electronics do it themselves.

The devide between composer and programmer has disappered for the most part and I think the main reason is that both hardware and software has become so affordable and accessible. Back in the old days, you needed expensive computers, synthesizers and tape machines and people who could assist you with operating them. Today, anyone can buy a laptop and learn Pd / Max / SuperCollider!

That being said, institutions like IRCAM still have their place as they allow composers to work with technology that is not easily accessible, e.g. large multi channel systems or 360° projections. They also do a lot of research, too.

Probably the gold standard for such books, wish all the audio DSLs had a book of such quality. Between it and The Computer Music Tutorial Csound is ahead of the rest when it comes to books.

That's using the wrong tool for a job :). Asking diffusion models to give you a valid circuit diagram is like asking a painter to paint you pixel-perfect 300DPI image on a regular canvas, using their standard paintbrush. It ain't gonna work.

That doesn't mean it can't work with AI - it's that you may need to add something extra to the generative pipeline, something that can do circuit diagrams, and make the diffusion model supply style and extra noise (er, beautifying elements).

> Keep in mind that we are not requiring any particular configuration of circuit diagram, just any diagram that makes sense. There are an infinite number of valid ones.

On that note. I'm the kind of person that loves to freeze-frame movies to look at markings, labels, and computer screens, and one thing I learned is that humans fail at this task too. Most of the time the problems are big and obvious, ruining my suspension of disbelief, and importantly, they could be trivially solved if the producers grabbed a random STEM-interested intern and asked for advice. Alas, it seems they don't care.

This is just a specific instance of the general problem of "whatever you work with or are interested in, you'll see movies keep getting it wrong". Most of the time, it's somewhat defensible - e.g. most movies get guns wrong, but in way people are used to, and makes the scenes more streamlined and entertaining. But with labels, markings and computer screens, doing it right isn't any more expensive, nor would it make the movie any less entertaining. It seems that the people responsible don't know better or care.

Let's keep that in mind when comparing AI output to the "real deal", as to not set an impossible standards that human productions don't match, and never did.

When I first started learning Photoshop as a teenager I often knew what I wanted my final image to look like, but no matter how hard I tried I could never get the there. It wasn't that it was impossible, it was just that my skills just weren't there yet. I needed a lot more practice before I got good enough to create what I could see in my imagination.

Sora is obviously not Photoshop, but given that you can write basically anything you can think of I reckon it's going to take a long time to get good at expressing your vision in words that a model like Sora will understand.

What I desperately need is a model that generates perfectly made PowerPoint slides. I have to create many presentations for management, and it’s a very time consuming task. It’s easy to outline my train of thoughts and let an LLM write the full text, but then to create a convincing presentation slide by slide takes days.

I know there is Beautiful.ai or Copilot for PowerPoint, but none of the existing tools really work for me because the results and the user flow aren’t convincing.
Three possibilities come to mind:

1) There is some fundamental data aspect Kiwix hasn't mentioned (or is entirely unaware of). I.e. CP or some other super illegal stuff.

2) Hetzner is profoundly incompetent, deleted production servers by accident, and the "But we sent you an email!" thing is a lie to cover up the mistake.

3) There is some kind of interaction that happened prior to this that we aren't privy to. Perhaps a series of late bills, legal threats, or some other inter-personal issue.

Predicted outcome:

I either expect Kiwix to get a knock by federal/national authorities. Or the more likely outcome in my opinion: some frustratingly vague statement by Hetzner PR about its customers being "mistaken" in regards as to why data-go-poof.

I mean seriously, let us assume it's something illegal: Sure, fine, whatever. Wouldn't it make more sense for that material to not be deleted, so whoever the guilty party is would be arrested for/prosecuted by it? Deleting the servers would be like police being informed about a murder weapon and asking the tipster to destroy the weapon before an arrest is even made. It doesn't make any sense to me. Surely if some bad thing were discovered, there would be some method to encrypt/restrict illicit material without destroying it.

Either bad blood, or unpaid bills, or simple incompetence seems like the most likely culprits to me.

The basic assumption behind Gradle, I think, is that people usually implement complex things in build systems because their needs are genuinely complex. Build systems are at heart parallel task execution and caching engines that auto-generate a CLI based on script-like programs, and that's a very useful thing. No surprise people use them to automate all kinds of things. You can lean into that or you can try to stop people using them in that way. Gradle leans in to it and then tries to make the resulting mess somewhat optimizable and tractable.

You can of course get people who are just bad at software and make things over-complex for no reason, but if you have such people on a team then the actual software you're building will be your primary problem, not your build system.

This person‘s argument hinges on trying to make two statements rather than one, I’ll illustrate with a quote:

> We know that the speaker always lies, so both statements must be false: my-hats must be empty, and it must be that it exists at least one hat in my-hat that is not green.

No. Since it is one statement as written, and the rules of common logic are not created by the liar, as I said up in the thread, either possibility is true. The person may have no hats or have one hat that is not green.
