41,792,100 | comment | doublerabbit | 2024-10-09T20:09:57 | null | > Which then begs the question what really defines punk music?<p>Rebellion against the mass.<p>Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Joy Division are some of the leading pioneers of the movement.<p>The 80's I would say is more toward post-punk. This split off in to Goth with The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees then genres such as New Wave, Synth with the likes of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan.<p>The same as grunge did in the US with Nirvana and the likes. I would say that Grunge was America's post-punk phase.<p>90's then saw the age of pop, and pop-punk came from that. Media was more available.<p>While Green Day held strong lyrics it's wasn't it. It didn't have the true spirit of punk. It was more rebellious against your parents as a teenager type vibe rather than take down the nation like prior. But I stand to be corrected.<p>I've never really liked Blink, Offspring and Green Day. I was to busy being script kiddie, 13 listening to chiptunes and goth. | null | null | 41,791,300 | 41,790,295 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,103 | comment | zahlman | 2024-10-09T20:10:12 | null | Python is compiled to bytecode just like Java and C# - it just also happens to provide an environment out of box that will do it on the fly, and makes it much easier to access the "compiler services" in the standard library (and the built-in `eval`). And it's always been that way. The idea that some languages are "serious" and others are not is already suspect. The idea that being a "serious" language requires being "compiled", or that other languages are just for "scripting", will severely limit you as a developer. | null | null | 41,789,653 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

A decade ago virtually all Python code was Python 2 code; in 02014 Python 3 was almost unusable. Perhaps what you mean is that most <i>individual lines of Python code</i> using Numpy and Scipy from ten years ago work fine in current Python versions, but very few complete programs or even library modules do. | null | null | 41,792,082 | 41,788,026 | null | [

Several county officers were jailed for refusing to do their job and certify results that they didn't like. Now they're opening the door to make overturning the election legal.

If you need an extra hour childcare because of your commute you are unlikely to find childcare that covers that one hour only and works around you. You most likely need to find afternoon/early evening cover. Good luck.<p>Also, you can work from home distraction free whilst ensuring the kids are not killing themselves. But you can’t just leave them at home incase they kill themselves. They call that neglect.<p>Be glad you don’t have to sort out childcare or deal with people thinking you “weren’t really working”. | null | null | 41,791,941 | 41,791,570 | null | [

Floating point numbers behave like integers for integer values, the only question is what do you do for non-integer values. My argument is that in many if not most cases you can apply the same solution you would have applied using integers to floating points and get an even more robust, flexible, and still high performance solution.<p>>For percentages and interest rates etc., you can represent them using percentage points, basis points, or even parts-per-million depending on the precision you need.<p>And this is precisely when people end up reimplementing their own ad-hoc floating point representation. You end up deciding and hardcoding what degree of precision you need to use depending on assumptions you make beforehand and having to switch between different fixed point representations and it just ends up being a matter of time before someone somewhere makes a mistake and mixes two close fixed point representations and ends up causing headaches.<p>With floating point values, I do hardcode a degree of precision I want to guarantee, which in my case is 6 decimal places, but in certain circumstances I might perform operations or work with data that needs more than 6 decimal places and using floating point values will still accommodate that to a very high degree whereas the fixed arithmetic solution will begin to fail catastrophically. | null | null | 41,791,652 | 41,784,591 | null | [

41,792,149 | comment | int_19h | 2024-10-09T20:15:42 | null | Among European languages, Serbo-Croatian is probably the closest to phonemic spelling. An interesting way to test this is to train a basic language model on a representative language, and then see how many mistakes it makes on words it doesn't know (<a href="https://aclanthology.org/2021.sigtyp-1.1/" rel="nofollow">https://aclanthology.org/2021.sigtyp-1.1/</a>) - in this study, Serbo-Croatian scored over 99% for both reading and writing accuracy. Finnish and Turkish are also pretty good. | null | null | 41,789,423 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

41,792,156 | comment | JackColquitt | 2024-10-09T20:16:28 | null | The biggest issue I have with semantic chunking is that it requires a LLM to help create the breakpoints. That's a pretty big cost and latency penalty, for potentially no benefit. That being said, we've seen chunk size have a huge impact on the naive extraction to the graph. Using recursive character chunking showed huge gains from going from 1000 characters down to 500 characters, even with long context LLMs. However, once we got out to 2000-4000 character chunks, there didn't appear to be much difference. But, if you're looking to extract maximum detail from a text corpus, it seems utra-small chunking is likely beneficial.<p>That being said, with ultra-small chunking, there's a lot of redundancy in the extracted graph edges. These are some of the problems were trying to solve with the TrustGraph extraction processes.<p>Daniel | null | null | 41,787,439 | 41,765,150 | null | null | null | null |
41,792,157 | comment | zahlman | 2024-10-09T20:16:39 | null | What bothers me more on a meta level is that some people in the community are apparently empowered to just write PEPs on a whim that will be quickly withdrawn, whereas most people will be forced to fight through long discussion threads before finding a sponsor willing to co-sign to a PEP (if that ever happens). The "Ideas" section of the forum is probably the least pleasant to use; and for all the controversial new stuff that gets added, the dev team is <i>stunningly</i> conservative WRT ideas that come from outside.<p>In particular, they'll commonly tell you to demonstrate your feature as a third-party package on PyPI first, <i>then</i> show that it gains popularity (i.e. you as a random developer are responsible for <i>promoting</i> your idea, not merely justifying it) - and if you succeed at that, they'll have the argument waiting for you that you already have a maintained, mature library that's perfectly capable of working on its own, so why would it need to become part of the language? "The standard library is where packages go to die", don't you know?<p>BTW, they will also tell you these things if the nature of your idea makes it impossible - e.g., you propose to add a method to a builtin type; subtyping won't work, because part of the point is that literal values should get the functionality automatically. | null | null | 41,791,986 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

Awareness can't be defined in terms of consciousness if consciousness itself is defined in terms of awareness—that's circular.<p>The problem is we are using the same word to mean different things - all these words are terribly overloaded.<p>> Awareness, in philosophy and psychology, is a perception or knowledge of something.[1] The concept is often synonymous to consciousness.[2] However, one can be aware of something without being explicitly conscious of it, such as in the case of blindsight.<p>This is what the wiki says:<p>Awareness, in philosophy and psychology, is a perception or knowledge of something. The concept is often synonymous to consciousness. However, one can be aware of something without being explicitly conscious of it, such as in the case of blindsight.<p>For sentience:<p>Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations. It may not necessarily imply higher cognitive functions such as awareness, reasoning, or complex thought processes.<p>So the way I see it, you have 'bodily self-awareness'/sentience, which is basically the minimal amount of some kind of mental OS running. processing stimuli, making decisions and reacting to events. These simple beings, like worms, are conscious in the sense they are aware/awake, but they do not have a higher level consciousness, or I would argue any consciousness at all.<p>On top of that you can have base consciousness, which allows for simple wants and needs, some basic decision making, but there is no inner monologue, no awareness of ones own thoughts. Consider something like a fish to be at this level.<p>On top of that you now have higher consciousness and self-awareness. A sense of ones selves as distinct from heir environment. A recognition of the fact that you had a thought and can now have thoughts about that thought. This is largely what separates humans from other animals, with only a few animals being close to humans in this regard (crows, elephants, chimps, dolphins, etc).<p>So the plant, as far as we know, has no kind of 'mental OS' running, so it has no type of awareness. It's just base chemical reactions without that, likely because they never evolved the need for it.<p>The camera as well doesn't have any equivalent. It's a set of actions that happen when a button is pressed. A roomba could be said to have a level of awareness though.<p>> Yeah but what is that? That's my big stumbling block here—what is "awareness"? What distinguishes things that are aware from things that are not?<p>Hopefully I've clarified this above. | null | null | 41,723,928 | 41,696,434 | null | null | null | null |

Google has a search and location data, Google email is on one side if not both of most email chains, receipts, etc.<p>Absolutely not discounting all of that; there are some pretty strong parallels between the data you can infer on a person based on their gmail graph versus their fb messenger graph, for example.<p>Meta has a lot more "self-revealed-preference" data, though. Which of $thesePosts did you engage with? Does this pattern continue if we mix in $someOtherVariable? How long did you dwell on that one post before like/dis-like? Are you more likely to come back and spend time here if we tell you that $thisPerson has commented on your post instead of $thisOtherPerson? ... etc.<p>I think only YouTube serves as a plausible source of dwell time in the "at what part of $thisVideo did you click the like button" sense. If you don't use YouTube or use it signed out then it's (slightly) harder for google to attribute your actions to you.

Somehow we can figure out how to charge sales tax on non-sales sales when it impacts the average joe, but not income tax on non-income income when it impact business owners because 'think of the business'. I don't see how taxes when someone extracts value from their company is any different or more difficult than taxing Joe average 'sales tax' on a lease payment.<p>The business is irrelevant. We are talking about the tax on the person who is getting income because our government functions from taxes on income. Just like how we charge sales tax on a non-sale when state government functions on taxes on sales.

41,792,185 | comment | calfuris | 2024-10-09T20:19:24 | null | Percentages are incommensurable with most things, including other percentages in the general case. They are percentages _of something_ and in general the only way you can do addition, subtraction, or comparison is to identify the referent and multiply it out first (the special case is when the other value involved is another percentage with the same referent). So in math class, when you see 20%, you translate it to ".2 _times something_", which is not a value that can be added to 10. You have to figure out what to multiply it by first. In the case of 10+20%, it would be reasonable to assume 20% of 10, which is how you get 12. It would also be reasonable to ask "20% of what?" 10.2 is 10 + 20% of 1, which requires an explanation of how that 1 got involved. | null | null | 41,786,763 | 41,776,878 | null | null | null | null |

This is why super wealthy people are irrelevant to a sovereign government's ability to spend; their marginal propensity to consume is too low to be seriously impacted by normal levels of taxation. It's also why tax has to be broad base to be useful. | null | null | 41,784,901 | 41,780,569 | null | [

The API may incidentally accept valid RFC input, but there is no way to know that it does for sure for all inputs. You might <i>suspect</i> it conforms to the RFC, but to claim that it does with certainty is incorrect. Only what is documented in the tests is known to be true.<p>Everything else is undefined behaviour. Even if you do happen to conform to an RFC in one version, without testing to verify that continues to hold true, it probably won’t.<p>This is exactly why unit tests are the expected documentation by users. It prevents you, the author, from make spurious claims. If you try, the computer will catch you in your lies.<p><i>> The other thing I would shy away from is including throwaway tests in the framework.</i><p>What does that mean? I suspect you are thinking of something completely different as this doesn't quite make sense with respect to what I said. It probably makes sense in another context, and if I have inferred that context correctly, I'd agree... But, again, untreated to our discussion. | null | null | 41,792,016 | 41,758,371 | null | [

And you have that sense of here-ness and me-ness because you have self-awareness. You're able to reflect and ponder on your thoughts and experiences, as opposed to just somewhat blindly reacting to them. This is the difference between you and the robot you speak of.<p>You can do that because you have self-awareness and meta-cognition, the same things required for you to write these replies that you have been writing.<p>So I think my point stands, that the fact that you can write these messages and engage in these conversations should be more than sufficient proof that you are conscious and that consciousness is real. | null | null | 41,723,791 | 41,696,434 | null | null | null | null |
