I don't know, this article is immediately confusing, because the rules seem wrong, or inconsistent at least. That makes it harder to understand what's going on, unless I suppose one knows already.

The first rule does not allow trees containing less than 2 elements.

The second rule makes me wonder how "N" is being used in the rules. The first rule treats it as a per-node variable, per the second rule it has to be a variable external to the node. Also, what if N is not divisible by 2?

Now that I don't trust the rules anymore, I cannot tell what the third rule is trying to do or if it's even correct, because so far it has not been stated what purpose these rules are trying to accomplish.

Rule 4 contradicts rule 1.

Now, the ordering rules (and the demo) do not allow multiple elements with the same key. Is this on purpose? Database indexes support this, so it would be nice to get one sentence about, so I don't have to wonder why this general introduction does not seem to deal with it.

I'm only this far in, and it already threw multiple wrenches into my attempts at thinking along. Now I can try to fill the gaps in the explanation myself, but I'm wondering how much I can trust the interactive elements to test my own understanding.

This article has a lot of potential, but it could really use an editing pass or two.
Then why don't they hard-code the interface to the model to pretend you included that in the prompt?
Well, it wasn't wrong at least, it just... stopped about 1% into the explanation.
This tweet also explicitly says "But still would be nice to have some credit.".

Why isn't FFmpeg mentioned on your app's website?

The same goes for ImageMagick by the way.
This is almost certainly an American thing, we just don’t have “tuna fish” in British parlance. A “tuna sandwich” would be understood to be a tuna mayonnaise sandwich, sometimes with surprise crunchy bits and sometimes without. You do occasionally see “tuna crunch” used to explicitly denote the addition of, most commonly, red onion and bell peppers.

Arguing that the US is more of a colonialist power than Europe is certainly a bold bit of rhetoric. Europe maintains a vast colonial empire to this day.

You can 'but Iraq!' all you want, but you're attempting to make the absolutely absurd argument that the US would somehow be more colonialist than literal, actual, historical colonialism. On the one hand is the US - a country whose greatest crime you can name is that they waged a war you didn't like once - and on the other is Denmark's centuries-long annexation and colonial occupation of the very country you claim to care about, including strenuous attempts to eradicate the local culture / customs and forced sterilisation of the indigenous people.

At the end of the day, the only distinction here is that you like one political union, and you do not like the other, so you blind yourself to the downsides of one and shamelessly slander the other. Unless the US spends two centuries ruthlessly attempting to wipe the Greenlanders out, I'll take 'proven historical fact' over vague aspersions around future hypotheticals vis-à-vis who is more of a 'colonialist'.

I reiterate my overall position: it falls to the people of Greenland to decide on their future, and they are fully capable of making their own decision, despite imperialist tut-tutting from Europe. The economic and security possibilities of joining the US are great, but independence is worthy too. The only horrible outcome here is continued subjugation to colonial European rule.
I must admit, the paper inspired me cook a pasta as close as possible to suggestions, together with Claude ingesting the PDF and the result was really good.

i think it comes down to:

1. the majority user base does not care and/or is not willing to pay for the ads
2. these platforms/products do not want to cater to the minority that cares about their privacy and not being exposed to any advertising
It also fits well with some ideas from Denmark to find new catalysts to allow intermittent processes to make ammonia from solar power, with the idea that the ammonia when mixed with water can be used as fertiliser.

Solar power + intermittent synthesis methods fits really well together for a less centralised economy.

I took a trip to my local university library once and found the food science section. It made On Food and Cooking look like Green Eggs and Ham in comparison and I learned more than I cared to about pineapple canning.

(To be fair, McGee’s work does exactly what I did but with multiple orders of magnitude more effort: summarizing food science journal papers into single paragraphs.)

One thing that’s always struck me as fun about cooking as a science is that your reagents need to be live calibrated by look and feel. Want to use the right amount of cyder vinegar but it’s from a brand / manufacturer you don’t know? You’re going to have to live titrate it with your mouth!

Don’t even get me started on inconsistencies between egg manufacturers. Clara’s lecithin content seems to be at least 10% stronger than Number 4’s, and she is also more tolerant of being stroked.

Neither one can still substitute for the immersively subjective realities in which our psyches were formed around, nor even begin to answer how that relates to everything we pick up and carry throughout our lives. Perhaps it would take an equally intense experience, developed over a lifetime and coupled with accurate insights into how those relate to the brain, to change some deep-seated traits or begin to answer how something such as a disorder actually behaves in the brain.
Thanks. Surprisingly good. :)

If you exclude people with diagnosiable mental illness, it seems like it would be hard to come up with an objective definition of therapy "working" beyond patient self-report. Its not like its a broken leg where you can test how well they walk.

If the patient is happier, does it matter if there isn't an objective measure.
I work with some people at CERN on a project.

> Wrong! This tendency is exactly what DevOps explains is the natural state of affairs without DevOps principles. The solution that DevOps advocates for is that such conflicting interests must not be expressed in meetings (where the culture conflict ensures they will get nowhere) but rather expressed in code.

Yes, there is the theory, principles, advocates, etc, etc. And there is the reality, and based on many-many years of experience as a dev, as an ops, and as a manager at from small-sized to enterprise companies, the reality isn't even close to this.

> Infrastructure must be in code, deploys must be in code, testing must be in code, builds must be in code, policy must be in code, and the implicit pipeline with all the handoffs between teams connecting them all must also be in code.

This is not DevOps, and you don't need DevOps for this. This is just about having an engineering mindset.

> so that people can reach outside of their natural organizational silos to propose changes elsewhere in the pipeline

Do you know how many times have I seen a developer touching Terraform code, ansible playbooks, or pipelines described as code? I am not saying that it never happened, but it was a rare occasion.

> The problem most organizations have is that they're not actually willing to force everyone's concerns to be written in code

I managed such an enforcement and change. It did not solve the cultural and collaboration issues.

> HROps would be ensuring that changes in the organization (i.e. people moving teams) accurately results in proper loss

This is just a matter of SoPs and workflows. It has nothing to do with the topic.

No offense, but your comment is a perfect reflection of why DevOps is a flawed concept. You are talking about enforcement of everything described as code, advocates, principles, etc.

If there is a good culture and collaboration the infrastructure as code, the advocates, etc will come naturally. People will find a way to collaborate. But not the other way around, these won't fix the culture.

I didn't say it's a solution, but it makes a huge difference for many things (erosion, carbon capturing, providing shade and cooling cities/suburbs).

Yet, I don't see much of it being done, at least in my countries (Poland and Italy).
A hand rewrite (or intelligent rewrite in general) will tend to become unique pretty quickly, especially when you start leaning into language features of the target language for improved efficiency. Your Structure and Organization will be different.

If you order an LLM (or a human) to do a straight 1:1 translation, you'll sort of pass one test (it's a completely different language after all!), but fail to show much difference wrt structure, sequence or organization. I'm also not entirely sure how good of an idea it is technically. If you start iterating on it you can probably get much better results anyway. But then you're doing real creative work!
And I can't find a job.

A bad day in therapy doesn’t mean the therapy is bad. I’ve had proper arguments with my therapist and even asked to quit multiple times. Thankfully stuck with it and turned out to be part of the process

Really all you can do is stick with it for a few months and see if you get better. It’s hard to tell in an immediate moment if it’s good

> Hand-drawn 2D animations often have watercolour backgrounds. Can we convincingly render 3D scenery as a watercolour painting? How can we smoothly animate things like brush-strokes and paper texture in screen space?

There are various techniques to do this. The most prominent one IMO is from the folks at Blender [0] using geometry nodes. A Kuwahara filter is also "good enough" for most people.

> When dealing with a stylised 3D renderer, what would the ideal "mesh editor" and "scenery editor" programs look like? Do those assets need to have a physically-correct 3D surface and 3D armature, or could they be defined in a more vague, abstract way?

Haven't used anything else but Blender + Rigify + shape keys + some driver magic is more than sufficient for my needs. Texturing in Blender is annoying but tolerable as a hobbyist. For more NPR control, maybe DillonGoo Studio's fork would be better [1]

> Would it be possible to render retro pixel art from a simple 3D model? If so, could we use this to make a procedurally-generated 2D game?

I've done it before by rending my animations/models at a low resolution and calling it a day. Results are decent but takes some trial and error. IIRC, some folks have put in more legwork with fancy post-processing to eliminate things like pixel flickering but can't find any links right now.

> It seems to me that one consequence of the "Theory Building View" is that: instead of focusing on delivering the artifact or the documentation of said artifact, one should instead focus on documenting how the artifact can be re-implemented by somebody else. Or in other words optimise for "revival" of a "dead" programs.

Arguably, this is the entire spirit of academia, which mildly serves as a counter example, or at least illustrates the challenges with what you are describing - even in something where the stated goal is reproducibility, you still have a replication crisis. Though to be fair, I think part of the problem there is that, like you said, people focus too much on “documenting the artifact” and not “documenting how to produce the artifact,” but this is often because the process is often “merely” technical and not theoretical (and thus not publishable) despite being where most of the hard work and problem solving and edge case resolution and so on happened.

Edit: oh, and I would also mentioned, that the kind of comment you’ve described which focuses on why some process exists in the form it does to better explain how it does what it does aligns closely with Osterhout’s notion of a good comment in A Philosophy of Software Design.
For CBT therapy, the evidence strongly suggests that it does help in the vast majority (but not all cases). More research is still needed to your point, and we can acknowledge the research done so far has provided evidence in favor.

"The effect's associated prediction interval −0.05 to 0.50 suggested CBT will remain effective in conditions for which we do not currently have available evidence. While there remain some gaps in the completeness of the evidence base, we need to recognise the consistent evidence for the general benefit which CBT offers." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7856415/

"Eleven studies compared response rates between CBT and other treatments or control conditions. CBT showed higher response rates than the comparison conditions in 7 of these reviews and only one review reported that CBT had lower response rates than comparison treatments. In general, the evidence-base of CBT is very strong. However, additional research is needed to examine the efficacy of CBT for randomized-controlled studies." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3584580/

In response i'd suggest watching the star trek DS9 'root beer' scene between Garak and Quark.

The answer to bad ideas is not to isolate them. It's to outcompete them. The battlefield of the modern world is the hearts and minds of it's citizens. If our morality is superior and our ideas are successful, we should just keep doing what we do and let them spread, like a virus.
I hope this doesn't come across disrepectful, but its kind of weird the take away from 1 year of therapy is so cliched.

The take away is basically you should pay attention to your emotions, don't be afraid to express your emotions and don't be afraid to try new things. Which feels like something you would see on instagram written over a sunset.

Perhaps its just a case of the difference between knowing the path and walking the path, and the 12 months was learning to walk it.
Your main title's grammar is really odd: "The collaborative interactive product demos". Straight away I'm trying to parse it. Maybe lose the "The"?

The brand sounds unfortunately like a demo itself.

What is your product? An app? A plugin?

Your logo lockup could do with being tighter; have the "Product Demo" text in an appropriate sans serif to match the icon, with less leading between lines.

"Design and refine demos with your team, in one shared file": this makes me think it's a file (that perhaps I can download) rather than a project.

The "guide" section of your site seems full of irrelevant guides re notion, figma etc. Perhaps this is because it's unclear what your product does; do users use your product/service to make demos from notion (Notion) and figma files? Some clarity here would be helpful.
So you’re saying we can view them as mirrors or models that help us understand ourselves better.
> systematically doubt and underestimate their ability to exhibit real creativity and understanding based problem solving.

I fundamentally disagree that anything in the rest of your post actually demonstrates that they have any such capacity at all.

It seems to me that this is because you consider the terms "creativity" and "problem solving" to mean something different. With my understanding of those terms, it's fundamentally impossible for an LLM to exhibit those qualities, because they depend on having volition - an innate spontaneous generation of ideas for things to do, and an innate desire to do them. An LLM only ever produces output in response to a prompt - not because it wants to produce output. It doesn't want anything.
This is very recently free, and I find less sources than you.com or perplexity in my experience.

I have a lot of ideas. Constantly.

My mentor said I should create an idea evaluation matrix, - the one that VCs also use - with weighted criteria so I can objectively score them to decide which one should I work on and prioritize.

I am really not keen onto creating spreadsheet so I did this web app instead :) It features a predefined criteria set, a visual matrix and some extra insights (like which idea are you the most passionate about)

I figured this might be useful for others as well, so I bought a domain, slapped a landing in front of it and now it is there to enjoy for all!
