I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

I'm curious whether this is something that makes the situation with truthfulness worse or better in the same session. I would estimate worse, because that matches a pattern of someone digging themselves further in while being abused by an authority for their failures that's common in _some_ stories and repetitive when present.
Was he aware of the options? Was he able to do something other than trust the LLM about any sort of isolation being set up correctly?
I suspect that the answer is no, because otherwise it's hard to believe him not thinking about that for days.
@0xabad1dea What's a stoptrain?
I also don't really know, but a recording with a smartphone's microphone is unlikely to have significant harmonics at reasonable volumes (I once looked at recorded spectra of sweeps generated by a PC speaker, and they appeared fine modulo diminishing response as the frequency increased) and has some sort of reasonable frequency response up to ~15kHz. What I find most interesting here is what kind of frequency peaks are there, so the potentially-nonflat frequency response is not that important either.
Would you mind recording the sound and sharing the recording (or a picture of the spectrogram)?
@azonenberg Ok, so you are looking for correlation (and not necessarily clustering)?
Does scores from raads-r actually cluster? Based on nothing but intuition (probably driven by poor quality sources) I would expect no pronounced boundary there.

I think a list like this is a nice to have as a reference, ideally one that might still be reasonably up to date years from now. People used to have lists of various recommendations/interesting things by others on their websites. Perhaps it's something that would make sense for you to have?
OT(?): How do you avoid every reader having to do some amount of work to figure out if they're supposed to deallocate something due to a resize downward? (Or do you mean only resizes upward?)
Small nit(?): you probably meant that he need not feel awkward. At least for some people it's hard to stop feeling awkward by conscious choice, and trying to do so is not necessarily useful (a.o., because failure to do so might cause feelings of guilt).
(This makes me wonder how similar social expectations around expressing awkwardness are to those around being emotional: both feel like things people would frown upon in public without any good reason I can see.)
@whitequark what would you use a sheet for (and how would you machine it?)
@silvermoon82 @robdaemon to DCs they have a sufficiently important dependency in (which will include random silly small things, and might not include where most compute is spent, because that might be more fault-tolerant).
@whitequark I vaguely remember reading in a Konrad Lorenz book that prey animals very rarely if at all fight for dominance, so don't have a concept of stopping a fight when the opponent submits, and that this leads to problems with keeping some kinds of bird in enclosures (they can't signal submission, nor can escape, because enclosure, so they are likely to injure each other significantly if a fight develops).
Kiedy się owa była zaczęła?
@ruuda It's not the increased pressure from vapor that counteracts ~anything as long as the liquid is incompressible: it's just that more of the liquid evaporates. I agree about that case, and at some point the trend has to reverse, because eventually all the water will boil (or, if the density in the container is too high, we will reach the critical conditions first).
Let's assume we have a fixed container filled with some amount of a liquid and its vapor. If we heat it up, obviously the fraction of mass that's in vapor form will increase (being in gas is higher energy state, fraction of stuff that's in a higher energy state increases as energy increases in a thermodynamic equilibrium; I might be wrong if there's something really wonky going on with surface tension). What about volume fraction? At first glance it seems that it can change in either direction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusselt_number#Dittus%E2%80%93Boelter_equation says:
> n = 0.4 for the fluid being heated, and n = 0.3 for the fluid being cooled.
WTAF. Why do we have different power laws for heat transfer between a solid and liquid when the flow is turbulent _depending on the direction of heat transfer_? I can't think of any simple mean field approximation of the process that would yield that.
Ah, I might have seen some other variants of the same concept (I saw them in toilets in Japan with no rhyme or reason that I could discern as to which ones would have them and which would have a separate sink).
(Potentially OT) Huh, I thought the point of those is saving water and encouraging people to wash hands after using the toilet. How do these prevent vandalism (of the sink or of the toilet?) and/or self-harm?
So, we should run away from shells (which separate paths in $PATH with a colon, which is a perfectly valid path of a directory name)?
