What prompted this and why does it not?


It's not the 19th Century. You don't need to punch holes in cards to help the machine "think" any more.


> You don't need to punch holes in cards to help the machine "think" any more.

That's literally what "prompt engineering" is, though.


"Transpose this MIDI file down a third" requires neither a specialized data format nor fancy prompt engineering. ChatGPT asked: "A) Major third up (+4 semitones) or B) Minor third up (+3 semitones)" then did it.


I still don't understand how this or the top level comment are related to the post.

I also don't get how you can claim we don't have to 'punch holes in cards to help the machine "think"', and also mention a MIDI file in your next comment. MIDI is much closer to punch cards than the proposed file format in the post.



> it is clear that Kohler is one end of the communication

That’s not end-to-end encryption. By that logic HN, and any other website over HTTPS is E2E encrypted.


That is what "end-to-end encryption" has come to mean in marketing. In the same way that every single product is "natural."


All natural blends of hydroxyapatite, sodium laureth sulfate, and methylpropanediol, just like grandma used to make


Is HTTPS really always E2EE?

I was under the impression that large companies use proxies so they can do deep packet inspection.

PS: you are right of course.


Why doesn’t wasm count?


Compile step makes things more complicated.


As opposed to minimized JS.


You don’t need to minimize JS to be able to run it.


why would the tool minify the script it generated?


Same problem, different orders of magnitude.


Unlikely since the most ISM bands are UHF (EU is 868 MHz) and skywave propagation (what you’re referring to) is characteristic of HF radiation (3-30MHz). VHF/UHF radiation passes through the ionosphere instead of refracting.


The what incident? Can you elaborate?

Edit: Here’s the incident-https://www.theregister.com/2015/05/27/text_message_unicode_...


Not only iOS was affected. MacOS, too. Firefox, too. Chromium, too.

Essentially everything that used libicu as a unicode parser.

Was quite fun posting this in IRC and other chats and seeing clients go offline at the time :)


There are plenty of instruments in there. I did a quick and dirty encoding of the first bar of “City of Star” with the piano when I first discovered it.

note("G2@2 A#2 D@2 G@2 ~ G F@2 D@1.5") .sound("piano")


> it's not at all well suited to a containerised environment

Could you elaborate?


> they occur instead because of inadequate immigration

How did they make that assertion?

In the body of the paper immigration policies were not included as a variable in the data, nor were they a part of the statistical analyses. I couldn't find anything regarding labor movement at all. It feels weird that it was just thrown there in the end.
