Logic Pro has Hermode tuning, which does this per chord: https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/hermode-tuning-lgcp...

Well, now if DoD moves to another AI provider, we’ll know what was compromised.

I wouldn’t describe central district as crowded with options…

How does one do this without appearing incompetent?

As someone ignorant to the Quran, can you explain how this functions as a checksum? Are you theorizing that scholars knew this fact and used it to, say, aid memorization? I’ve hear…

I recently tried the freelancing thing for a couple years, and I’m not sure about this as general advice for experienced engineers. I found it difficult to find gigs paying similar…

This comment reminded me of "A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins, which explores this. To Hawkins, the brain's relatively fast evolution implies there'…

About spilling to disk, in DuckDB’s docs I see: > Both persistent and in-memory databases use spilling to disk to facilitate larger-than-memory workloads (i.e., out-of-core-process…

Interesting, how can I learn more about this?

setTimeout takes a duration in ms, not a timestamp. If it did take a timestamp, I think you would need to pass it a timezone to disambiguate. Maybe a better argument is, “when you’…

Wow, that seems like a huge security risk for Google that people can create phishing sites on their auth domain. I don’t think Google Forms allows login forms, but I’m surprised Go…

Not really what you asked, but there are lots of tools for markdown to HTML, and lots of HTML parsers.

20 years ago, I got into programming by writing little VBScript extensions for my StarCraft clan’s bot on battle.net. It was primitive, but such a fun and social way to get into pr…

My imposter syndrome basically disappeared when I started onboarding newer coworkers. It exposed me to _other_ people’s knowledge gaps, and made me realize how many things I actual…

I work 3 days/week, which comes out to $130k annually at my current rate. 9 years of experience. I was working full-time making $325k, and I decided I wanted to trade comp for flex…

I don’t understand this absolute opposition to customization. What would you do instead?

I loved this book, but I only recommend it if you’re reading on a Kindle or similar. There was so much jargon and technical words that I had to look up the definitions of.

My hunch is that we’ll eventually realize that we never cared about intelligence in the first place, just “human-ness”. After all, there’s very low moral concern for cows, pigs, do…

Are you confident that an audit would have uncovered this bug? I’d be surprised if audits are effective at finding subtle bugs and race conditions, but I could be wrong.

Can you share what helped it click? I’m in the same boat, trying to understand it through analogies.
