This example requires a secret ruling but not a secret interpretation of the law.

> They are going to college to increase their earning potential, and that’s about it.

Human Interviewer: Congratulations on making it to the 12th interview!

Candidate: Hey, I'm honored to be talk to another human for once!

Human Interviewer: That's funny. And true! Now, it says here you're a recent college grad student.

Candidate: That's right. Had to increase that sweet, sweet earning potential.

Human Interviewer: Also funny, also true! Honestly, what I learned in Intro to Game Theory alone has probably increased my earning potential by 15, maybe even 20%.

Candidate: Oh man, I remember that class! My professor gave up on grading homework that semester because of ChatGPT, and that weighted the midterm and final so much. I never did so much plugging and chugging in my life!

Human Interviewer: That's great. Well, that's about it. Hey, it was a pleasure meeting you. We'll be in touch.

Candidate: ???

> As someone who's well-versed with the "face-saving" aspects of Indian work culture, I can state with clarity that the statement they put out is completely in character.

As someone who's blood is tainted with teflon and microplastics same as you, I can state with clarity that attributing universal corporate tendencies to national work culture is completely in character for a Sagittarius.

Even without knowing your specific criteria, #2 on your list must be Alan Kay.

But I'm curious who you think #3 is.

I'd like to believe that the diversity, equity, and inclusion of Scheme, Pascal, and C stdlib naming conventions here is intentional.

> I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe I'll need to figure out childcare, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll have food to eat this weekend, maybe I won't. Maybe my job will go away next year, maybe it won't. Today, there's work, and I'll do that work as best I can. Today, there's evidence things are changing, and I can be aware of that. Today, I can do something prudent to make myself more resilient towards whatever may or may not happen. Tomorrow, if something happens, I can react accordingly.

I take it you've never worked on realtime software. :)

For most Americans with kids, if they don't figure out childcare they will miss deadlines. By missing deadlines they risk systemic failures: failure to make enough income to eat, keep their job, pay for healthcare, etc.

It's easy to get Tao-ish about meeting deadlines when your buffer is above 100k.

The end of the AI's first sub-phrase in the video is wrong.

You started by playing a simple I - vii - I as the first sub-phrase. Then the AI started its response with a dominant 7th-chord. In the vast majority of cases I can think of from the Classical era, the AI's sub-phrase would end with a half-cadence. So, including what you played, the first two sub-phrases would look like this:

I - vii - I

V(7) - I - V

But instead, the AI took the unusual step of having a full cadence for that 2nd sub-phrase. This in music is what someone might call a "double beat" in screenwriting.

Moreover, there are no half cadences in the phrase after that. It's all full cadences in the tonic key, plus two plagal cadences over a tonic pedal there in the 2nd phrase. Each sub-phrase just extends the tonic. There are idiomatic ways to just stay in the tonic for awhile, like "Horn fifths." But this excerpt isn't idiomatic and sounds like the composer accidentally forgot to develop the harmony.

I'm going to claim that this excerpt would sound like the musical equivalent of a run-on sentence to any composer who lived from the time of J.S. Bach to Robert Schumann. And from Mahler on they'd assume you're thumbing your nose at convention.

Put another way: the kind of student who'd use this to finish a harmony exercise would end up getting the same grade they would have gotten doing it on their own.

Edit: clarifications

This isn't too far from the Bad Creek Project, a 1.5MW peaker plant drilled into a mountain by Duke Power in the 90s that drains into the lake below.

It, too, has a road to nowhere. However, that road has a public access overlook, complete with a view of the lake below and an enormous Francis turbine sitting smack dab in middle of the parking lot. Is that a scale model of the one inside the mountain? An old broken one? I don't know.

Apparently they use solar power to help run the turbine in reverse during off-hours to shoot the water back up to the bad creek reservoir.

> If people die it’s no big deal if they volunteer for it and know the risks before they sign up for it.

Similarly, letting pilots skip the security check is no big deal. Just check the id_hash of their _pilot_struct against the ids in the day's flight manifest for the current frame being evaluated in the fully verified Rust-based simulation of reality.

If people are really that worried about "exploits" they're free to set a save point before arriving to the airport that morning.

Edit: important clarification wrt the fully verified Rust-based simulation of reality.

In-person, high-risk rule-breaking that's hard to validate has a tendency to scale differently from say, pasting a value into a lottery/payment app.

I mean, compare the number of people who've flown over Barbara Streisand's property to take a picture of her house to the number of people who had a copy of said picture in their browser cache.

You can read more about this peculiar scaling factor of the internet in Bill Gates 1995 book The Road Ahead.

> In a free society, we don't need state-run media.

I think this is a kind of time-sequence fallacy which I've seen before on HN. It's not that "we don't," but that, perhaps, "we wouldn't."

E.g., I study the pieces still standing in famous checkmate positions and decide to start the game using only those pieces. Bad strategy.

Right. It's just funny that there is an always-increasing number of extant cases like OP's for SVG and/or internal hyperlink specs where content isolation would have been much appreciated, and literally zero cases I can think of where anyone used XML namespaces to extend either SVG or hyperlinks. (As well as the case I mentioned above where the working group apparently just said "fuck it" wrt specifying xlink at all.)

Even toy examples! I'm trying to think back through my recollection of the W3C archives, and I can't remember a single time when a proposed feature had a demo that utilized XML namespaces. Unnamespaced pseudocode, yes. JS polyfills, yes. XML namespaces? Please link me some examples for my fan fiction research.

If you don't mind vectorizing these then they already exist and are called power outages.
