They made a transphobic joke 3 times and the bluesky users that enabled their intolerance filter never saw it. What exactly is the problem? The posts weren't deleted. Nobody liked the joke because it's a bad joke.

It's been a while since I built a PC but that price seems very fair

Looks pretty neat. I'm a little disappointed about a closed beta though.

Spoken like someone that has no idea why mathematicians are important.

This is the struggle of naming papers. You could stretch definitions and make your own sexy headline or you could be precise and fewer people will read it.

Could be pretty easy to do with atproto accounts. Users could save/share their music as a tangled.sh repo and other people could contribute or fork as they please. A nice UI could hide all of that and make it fun to collaborate on music.

Too bad I'm lazy. RiffHub looks neat.

It's not just the medium. Streaming from the internet is a totally different product than radio. There's no reason we can't have both.

I simply don't care to gatekeep what counts as education. It has taught me things from videos I can still recall a decade later and pushed me to explore different areas of math I wouldn't have done otherwise.

It's education for whoever finds it educational

This is why I think Brady Haran is one of the coolest living mathematicians. Numberphile is educating a new generation of young mathematicians for anyone with access to youtube. Accessible math communication is so important. So many cool things are buried in textbooks and papers the average person would never read.

Randomness is useful if you expect your code to do the correct thing with some probability. You test lots of different samples and if they fail more than you expect then you should review the code. You wouldn't test dynamic random samples of add(x, y) because you wouldn't expect it to always return 3, but in this case it wouldn't hurt.

:( but the math is fun And they went through all this effort anyways, and to blog about it.

Is it only in the Studio version? Or the 21 Beta release? I downloaded the free version of Resolve 20 and I don't see any evidence that I can edit my raw nikon photos. The "Color" tab looks like it could be helpful if I knew how to turn my images in the media pool into "stills"

It is verso. My understanding is that it's like really fancy javadocs that makes communicating Lean code easier for everyone.

Awesome. I've been meaning to play around with this more after first hearing about this paper. I tried a similar automata with an even simpler representation for turing machines and there wasn't an abiogenesis moment. I guess the many no-op characters in the original paper allow for it to explore a bigger space of valid programs or to hide data without completely overwriting itself.

I would like to try alternative character encodings, including ones with fewer no-ops where most bytes are valid BF characters. Are more no-ops better? Is self replicating goo the best we can do?

If you scroll to the bottom there's another image of the robot with lights/dark stripes flipped. And his head is different.

This government is a joke.

I would not go back. YouTube is a wonderful thing that I can't afford to pay for, and I don't want to live without. There are so many creators I love that would not be able to create and share beautiful things if they didn't get ad money. It's not all bad.

Not defending the software, but if you hand over control of your data to software that has the ability to fuck with it permanently, anything that happens to it is on you.

Don't trust the hallucination machines to make safe, logical decisions.

Remote work is great (for the reasons you gave and more) and saying it "sucks" made me roll my eyes, and it's reductive in the same way as saying office work "sucks." I wouldn't have had a job if in-office was the only option. It certainly didn't suck for me.

Being bad at problem solving with people far away is just another problem you can solve with practice. Same as being bad at problem solving even when help is right next to you.
