Did you consider some kind of arrangement of the notes that is less "equal-tempered", and that would highlight the harmonic relationship between the notes? probably would need to be key-specific.. or maybe rather now would you that fable is back?
Rationalists are inventing oligopolies from first principles, absolutely incredible things happening in SF.
Based.
well there is this: https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/11/kuzu-database-company-joins-a...
"Matter" is an abstaction. Mind, properly considered, (i.e. not with words) is not.
Strict adherence to Occham's razor would have us dispense with the former, but the latter is useful empirically.
There is some dogmatic insistence in GP, but equally dogmatic throwdowns on the other side of the argument are often passed over as trivially obvious.
I don't know what's what, but I think this insistence is a useful counterweight.
Onuses are on whomever says they exist ;)
Just get an eink phone? They're $300 and come with slowness built in.
Well, no. The LLM is just better than you in a narrow band that appears wider to someone below than above.
From above, or from below with adequate exposure, it feels facile and hollow. It is good at weaving grammatical structures. It is not good at thinking in words in a way that invites a fellow human along for the journey. Because it doesn't think.
they're referring to the changes they tried to upstream to zig.
seems like it'd be fairly straightforward to get things setup where text blocks are double click to edit, have drag handles, delete buttons etc, and then you can also use surfingkeys to get vim style navigation.
overall i'm seeing a potential here for more human authoring, as you can really multiply the surface of your inputs with deterministic widgets rather than just delegating.
My first thought as well, but you can imagine how dangerous it would be if special forces started tanking their performance due to betting market considerations.
lol and github is the primary obstacle to that in today's software engineering
Maybe you and others would be less flippant if you had any idea how trivial these forces are compared to the pressures of denial and gaslighting survivors of sexual abuse face e.g. from their entire families.
pretty sure if you un-downtime a non-safari browser it applies to all websites.
most humans would not assume that since most humans are not heavily primed by logic puzzles.
standard notation is much better for learning to see and hear patterns too.
how do you deal with latency when using the cursor? or do you not use the cursor?
I tried this but latency with the cursor was annoying for me, so I just did termux with tmux so I can be keyboard-only.

also there is a browser extension for this kind of thing.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing.
The Tenuto app has some similar exercises (also available here: https://www.musictheory.net/exercises) you might take inspiration from, or others might find useful:
- fretboard interval identification. shows two dots on the fretboard, you are supposed to indicate the interval between them. this is useful for bridging the gap between audio interval recognition and actually playing by ear. since you already have the functionality for selecting notes - which the Tenuto app does not - a useful extension would be to have it where the app presents a note and an interval, and you select the note that is that interval distance from that note on the fretboard.
- fretboard chord indentification. shows multiple dots on the fretboard, you are supposed to indicate what chord it is. the tenuto app doesnt have the functionality for you to indicate what the inversion is. you could also do a similar extension where the fretboard has some notes selected and a chord display, and you select the rest of the notes needed to complete the chord.
Not even Putin is dumb enough to think that NATO presents a threat to Russia, and even he could have seen the obvious effect that an invasion would have of galvanizing the alliance.
The threat to his regime and its legitimacy is to have a democratic neighbor with russian speakers who live better lives, in what is a former colonial subject of the glorious russian empires.
NATO does make a great bogeyman though for internal audiences, to shift attention away from the futures they are deprived of by dictatorship.
One party instigated by undertaking an illegal invasion of a sovereign state.
And one party instigated by allowing victims of imperial subjugation to seek protection against further imperial subjugation by joining a military alliance... or something like that?
These things are all quite different, it is strange to use the same word to describe them.
Every major outlet is against the war in Ukraine, which is why they want to help the Ukrainians drive the aggressors out.
failure of imagination is not an argument either FWIW
It's a pretty universal fact of history that civilizations come about through violence and subjugation, not by "the law of attraction," or whatever this article is proposing.
yes, that is the premise, but the article specifically does not present any evidence of that being the case, just a bunch of weasel words.
"...aerial laser maps reported by Estrada-Belli and colleagues have revealed large, interconnected Maya cities now obscured by forests in other parts of northern Guatemala (SN: 9/27/18). The next step, Estrada-Belli says, is to assemble an aerial laser map of at least 100 square kilometers around Tamarindito to see if it was built in relative isolation."
if they don't even know whether it was built in isolation, how could they possibly be in a position to make these kind of conclusions about how it came about?
hence, "theory."
"attract subjects"
that's an interesting little phraseology/unsubstantiated theory of state, especially coming from a science publication. typically, you "subject" subjects, hence the word.
alternatively, if the redundancy bothers you, you can subject populaces instead.
even more useful if you disable suggestions for everything except (bookmarks and) opened tabs.
care to engage with the points being made?
authors find them useful.
main use is to mislead self an dothers
Timothy Snyder is a historian who has written on extensively on the history of Ukraine (Bloodlands) and Putin (The Road to Unfreedom).
I'm not familiar with The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, but Dr. Snyder makes some strong counterpoints to the Mearsheimer way of thinking on Ukraine in this [1] podcast and others.
He has also given a timely history on modern Ukraine [2], but I have not got around to listening to it.

I agree with the first part of your point, but this in particular is an emergent phenomena that only happens with large-scale civilizations.
So I think some kind of sociological argument makes more sense (I don't know what that would be though).
