1. How do you define work differently from "that which should be automated"? 2. While I agree with your stance, it is not by itself sufficient. If you provide the automation but you do not correct the perverse incentives (or you w

My bet is that copyright law has not caught up with massive machine learning models that partially encode the training data, and that there will still be cases to set legal precedent for machine learning models. Note also that it's not

I can't say what's happening in GitHub Copilot, but it's not necessarily true that the only way to produce syntactically valid outputs is to take substrings of the source text. It is possible to learn something approximating

That makes sense. If you expand "natural" resource to include something pertinent to network effects (e.g. human attention is a resource) then I see that as the beginning of an argument in the opposite direction.

That may very well be the definition. People certainly do say e.g. "... a 0 bit followed by a 1 bit ...", however.

that is correct, and to be fair, not contested by the parent comment. you might be hard-pressed to find two bodies each "exactly like" the other. The interesting questions here are not about exactly equal, but about equivalence cl

arcing involves ionizing air, right? I would have expected that the breakdown voltage of air increases with altitude, due to decreasing density of air.

The regex DSL only works for strings. I lament that I cannot use something regex-like to match general sequences, e.g. a sequence of tokens, instead of only strings (sequence of characters). The operations could be the same. There are class

To be honest, I don't know what that claim means, but know that `(1 / 3) * 3` is exactly 1 under plain-old IEEE floats. The "fun" is with, e.g. `0.1 + 0.2`. I just tried on the website 0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3 2.77555

You either missed my point or you are making my point. It is hard to tell!

What incentive do I have in not-that-system to be a cooperative, generous hard worker that practices collectivism instead of a power-addicted exploitative ambitious business magnate? ^- is another awfully slanted question.

I do not think it's scientific to claim the "brain is physically damaged from not-very-physiological-thing". We do have evidence for brain development that must occur before it is too late (e.g. critical window for language).

> It's about how much of a pain it is to get things working when things aren't nice and you don't know what to do. Thank you for highlighting this. I love elegance, safety, reproducibility, declarative specifications, etc
285.
by gugagore 5y ago
It sounds like nix provides an escape hatch [1] out of the declarative framework into something imperative, e.g. running `apt install $package`. And that seems like it would really ease adoption, since I would assume that it would allow a g

Could you briefly mention an example of something that is difficult/impossible without first learning about Nix internals, and allude to what kind of internals need to be learned?

I have always considered that a very important difference, too. But I also know people do overcome food addiction, so it makes me wonder, isn't it possible to "quit" smoking in the sense that you set some limits for yourself

It is cool to see handtracking working in my browser! Unsurprisingly, there are serious flaws with this tool. It's hard to get this right, and there are endless "learn ASL" projects that only ever get as far as recognizing c

I am not familiar with DRAM spec sheets, but are manufacturers specifying that there will be zero errors? Without a specification that says so, I don't think it's necessarily the fault of the manufacturer if they cannot build perf

I don't have a direct answer. I'm not sure how the signal is synchronized. But I will say that the tonearm of a record player exhibits the same behavior, yet the signal on a record is not modulated.

That's not what I was concerned about. The subspace that's uncontrollable is the disturbance components of the state, which I don't care to control anyway.

by gugagore 5y ago
Thanks for the reference. I agree that the solution to getting I action is to model the disturbance, and augment the state. The system certainly becomes uncontrollable in the augmented state space. I've run into a conceptual problem wh

In a world where one can do so much computation, I would really like to see more adaptive control techniques. The I in PID is the only adaptive part. You can think of it as an estimator of an additive term that arises from e.g. friction or

It's a bit more subtle than that. What saturates is the actuator. You could choose a single minimum/maximum value for the integrator, but it could be better ye to have a value that depends dynamically on how much room there is lef

Yes, that is an important limitation of Revise that I hope goes away. Until then, consider this work-around: https://github.com/BeastyBlacksmith/ProtoStructs.jl

The conversation around Prop 22 is (was) about deciding laws. I don't find it useful to invoke a notion of "legal truth", since it feels circular.
