Actually Bach's Well Tempered Clavier IS a book written in a single set of tuning system that actually lost/forgotten. We still have discussions about how it's constructed. For more information google "Well Tempered Clavier interpretation"
Neither lost nor forgotten! It's the basis for the "Thidell Formula 1" temperament [0], which is what produces those squiggly frets on expensive guitars. It also works well for multiple keys (at the expense of others), making it a compromise for a range of music rather than a single song.
I think yes. Recently I was experimenting with NEAT and HyperNEAT solutions and found this site. At the bottom it explains how novelty yields far more optimal solutions. I would assume that reasonably high temperature may also result more interesting solutions from LLM
Okay, let's image that I've sent you 100 BTC. Now, can you tell me how exactly you would convert the "money" I've sent you into bread and milk?
Because, most of the time people say that just in the context of the blockchain. In that sense I can also say that you can control vast majority of money by just having knife and glove skins in Steam (for the game Counter Strike). You also can trade/send/receive. But the moment you decide that you want to convert to "food" all sorts of problems arise that are worse than what banks offer.
I'm telling you as a person who received salary in crypto while living under sanctioned country
Yes, you convert them into bread and milk the same way you convert little pieces of paper into bread and milk: You find someone who's willing to give you bread and milk in return for them.
There are massive P2P economies already built in most third world nations that work on crypto. They prefer stablecoins but will happily accept BTC as well. It's a serious enough problem that they've started using code words to refer to crypto currencies ("goat" for USDT, "chicken" for ETH, etc.)
If a corrupt third world government is scared of a piece of tech, it is, imo, good tech

Every time I see messages and posts like this, I hope that big companies were being dissatisfied with the product factory scaling issue and device sell effectiveness.
I hope that small companies would launch device like this with 500-1000 devices being created and sold in a year just fulfill the niche and doesn't go bankrupt
I don’t think you could manufacture a small run like that without the price being extremely high.
Say you charge $1,000 per device. That means you need to build an entire company, pay staff, and prototype then manufacture a custom hardware device with customized software with less than a million dollars. Costs add up real fast.
Why does the cost need to be so high? Chinese markets have many small phone options like Soyes and Servo that cost less than $100. Unfortunately, these devices are potentially loaded with malware.
Can a similar device without malware not be made in small batches? At a selling price of $500 or less?
I actually had a brief email conversation with the folks running the project in the OP. Basically they said they can't get a reasonable-quality screen in that size. No one makes it. They would have to spin up a whole new manufacturing line for a quality, small screen and the cost on that is insane. The screens on the small phones you're talking about are very low quality.
MacBook Pro can “display” HDR content on SDR displays.
macOS puts a slightly higher brightness than it required and artificially (in software) changes absolute white (0xFFFFFF) to greyish color (0xEEEEEE). So when a HDR content is required it will remove mask around that content. Safari ideally, probably that’s on Firefox why tone mapping doesn’t work well
There's a HDR video on that page, and on my built-in MBP display, it's much brighter/has noticeably more range than the rest of the UI. Moving the window to my non-HDR external 4k monitor, it looks like a regular YouTube video.
The video looks the same in both Safari and Firefox, whereas the images are dim in Firefox on both my MBP display and external monitor.
In addition to that, WhatsApp was available at the time on Symbian devices and Nokia’s S40 devices (I remember downloading Jar and Jad files for button mobile devices, and each update was free up to year then it was a dollar for a year)
Crazy! You made me remember i actually once paid for "something" when it comes to Whatsapp! Then they added somekind of disclaimer "will be a paid service xxxxxyyyy" but it never happened!
I think it was more or less “nag ware”. I remember clicking “no, later” multiple times in a row and they’d only ask like twice a year. I don’t think it ever stopped working for people who didn’t pay (afaik).
Swift actually passes value types by reference on closures (anonymous functions) if they aren't explicitly listed in capture group. It's per spec. It allows you to write closures with states:
var count = 0
let closure = {
count += 1
print("Current count=", count)
}
closure() // Current count= 1
closure() // Current count= 2
closure() // Current count= 3
let capturedVariableClosure = { [count] in
print("Current count=", count)
//count += 1 // syntax error, count is const variable. Use var count in capture group
}
capturedVariableCount() // Current count= 3
closure() // Current count= 4
capturedVariableCount() // Current count= 3
