Resonant filters, like the classic Moog ladder filter, are another great example of recursive/feedback circuit designs. As someone coming from a computing background, it always seems magical how the recursion in these types of analogue

The damage obviously goes beyond humans (for example coral reefs are getting decimated), but it's true the planet has endured far greater assaults in the past, and life has marched on. Environmentalism is Humanism in disguise. The risk

I grew up in the era of peak-Adbusters, and ate up the narrative on exploitative sweatshops where people in 3rd world countries are forced to make my shoes on near slavery wages. Fast forward a decade, and my now mother-in-law described how

Canada’s copyright protection for artistic works was extended as 2022 came to a close from life of the author plus 50 years—to life of the author plus 70 years. The change was the result of international trade negotiations in the United Sta

I asked ChatGPT if it wrote this ^ comment, and it claimed that yes, it did. For the record, I don't believe it.

Yes, I too have found it to be completely unreliable when it comes to specifics. However, I've been finding it really helpful in a few areas: - taking point form, or messy notes, and converting it to full sentences/paragraphs. Use

Maybe this is a combination of signalling and confirmation bias. You might not notice consumers who don't make these displays.

I mean, we know of millions of species on this planet, and when we discover a new one it sometimes still makes headlines. It's hard to imagine it would be uninteresting for an alien civilization to discover a 10,001th civilization, on

If we found something chimp, bird, or even mold-like living on another planet, we would be utterly fascinated. I don't see why a "higher" life form would not.

Why 5-10 years? Hype cycle, or do you think there will be changes in the tech that could make it useful to these institutions at that point?

I didn't work in the industry at that time but I did hear the stories. I might have a different perspective if I was on the ground. We have a pretty open internet today, or at least MS is no longer the biggest threat to it so maybe thi

Can't fault him on hiring a crew to craft his videos. He has better things to do with his time. Wouldn't you outsource that if you were in his position? My 2 mins of googling came up with more like 3.6B$ on malaria, but even 2B$ i

Well, Gates is absolutely terrible at PR and doesn't tick any of the boxes of being chic, unless it's some kind of so uncool that he's cool kind of thing. Despite this and more importantly despite his reputation in business a

While working on a psuedo-random noise generator for his dithering algorithm, Aleksey Vaneev claims to have discovered a "backdoor" in mathematics that shows math is a pre-existent system with information encoded into randomness.

I think many people complaining about visual snow really just never noticed that it's a normal part of human visual perception to have a bit of it (I remember noticing it as a kid, staring at the ceiling), but I do believe that there a

Well, following that logic, one should also commit suicide. I hope no one is logical enough to do that.

That's in the range of 10x the CO2 an average human will produce in their lifetime. If you could find a way to get 20 people to cut their emissions in half, or 200 people to reduce it by 5%, or 1000 people by 1%, you could balance out

You can find used monitors really cheap these days, at least in N. America. $40 gets you something decent, but not touch screen. I'm sure you could get a used mouse, keyboard and screen for $50.

Much less efficient at producing watts perhaps, but less efficient at producing liquid, transportable hydrocarbons? I doubt it.

This is fantastic. I want to watch the movie! What do you think are the odds that we'll see a feature length AI powered "Jodorowsky's Tron" film within say.. the next 20 years? Some shepherding by humans allowed of cours
