well the full full quote is from C.S Lewis' Narnia, where Aslan says:

Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.

im confused, surely there already exists clasification models, which, given multidimensional sensor data, output the most likely "activity" type? why would text modality be a better choice?

AFAIK, these islands of regularity/stability are a common aspect of chaotic systems, say the logistic map[1].

i would also think it is achieved by piezo's, though maybe thats specific to drum stuff?

reminds me of tsoding's nobuild, except it bypasses make and the only thing required is a C compiler. neat!

this is nice! wonder what it would take to make it emulate a small DOS like environment. the qt py has an esp32s3, which afaik is quite a beast for a microcontroller.

now I know what simcard nano uses for their radiohead covers! I have always wondered where did those vocals come from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApL1d_OQYk4

from their youtube comment:

> Good question. For efficiency, we try to keep commonly used terms such as letters as short as possible. Note that the words we use for letters all one syllable, whereas the NATO phonetic alphabet are mostly two syllables. The words we use for spelling are also chosen so that they can be chained together easily and quickly, eg “harp each look look odd”. Easy to say quickly without slurring

> The idea that fluid is solving the Navier-Stokes equation seems like an obvious error to me - it cannot solve the equation, it simply acts a fluid, which the equation was designed to approximate.

that's his "Principle of Computational Equivalence", that natural processes are themselves computations. it's easy to see this is true in a "made-up" universe, say Game of Life, but whether our universe is computational is still an open question I think.

FAQ says:

What does [flagged] mean?

It means that users flagged a post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on Hacker News.

Moderators sometimes also add [flagged] (though not usually on submissions), and sometimes turn flags off when they are unfair.

so I guess it could be either?

I'm asking as an outsider who wants to learn: do you mean people in european universities got harassed because they were against Mao? do you have any articles about this that I can read?
