Yes, checks out! Pro bluegrass banjo players can play 150-160 beats per minute, 4 notes per beat (16th notes), so that’s 10-11 notes per second max.

Agreed, but SimCity was marketed for realism and used for education. The OP writes:
> Over and over, the SimCity series invoked “realism” as a selling point. SimCity 2000’s box playfully warns: “If this game was any more realistic, it’d be illegal to turn it off!”
> SimCity has been used and is being used as educational tool ... shaping the way a lot of people understand or misunderstand city planning.
> I swear, I can design you a game that subtly leads people to whatever “solution” you want.
> We have to encourage players to always question the designers’ systems and educate them to detect their biases and agendas, even our own.
> Cities result from conflicts, conflicts are not always “solvable”.
> The problem with most utopian thinking is the idea of tabula rasa, the blank slate. In order to design a perfect society, you have to start from zero. That’s the also utopianism of SimCity.
Ctrl-F for "bias", "utopia", & "conflict" for more along these lines.
OP: “So turn your eyes forward and focus on what you can change: the future.”

To help you get a remote software development job, consider doing a remote, part-time bootcamp with an ISA (Income Share Agreement). That means you pay nothing until you're hired. Some options include:

> Surfboard actually builds on LibROSA for a few of its components (e.g. MFCCs) and its functionality (e.g. loading .wav files into memory). In that sense it is the same as LibROSA for a lot of their communal functionality.
> LibROSA was built to extract individual components for music analysis. The components we built into Surfboard are largely different to those in LibROSA (apart from a few). If you are interested, please read our paper and documentation to find out more!
- Only available for macOS & iOS.
- Not free if you need sync. But it's only $1.49/month! I'd rather pay for a tool because then it's more likely to last.
- Has [[one-way links]] but not two-way, so I feel some FOMO when I see people getting so excited about Roam Research.
If you migrate: Go to Preferences and turn on Markdown compatibility mode. Then use Import Notes to read all your files from Typora & Joplin.
1st priority: macOS & iOS apps that always sync, open FAST, and look clean, to enter new notes with no friction. Like Bear (which I currently use) and Simplenote (which I used to use).
2nd priority: Bi-directional links. Like Roam and Obsidian. Transclusion. Like Roam (and Obsidian?)
I'm willing to pay up to $15/month. Like Roam.
Are there any solutions that give all of the above?
It looks like Surfboard is a wrapper combining feature extraction methods from Librosa and other libraries, plus some of its own implementations. Is that correct?

Gary Bernhardt had a creative concept for selecting speakers. Half were invited, internet famous people like Tom 7 and Julia Evans. Half were people who'd never spoke at a conference before, like Nabil and I. For the call for proposals, we submitted 2 minute videos instead of abstracts. Gary invested a lot of time mentoring the new speakers, which I'm so grateful for!
In September, I did another, kind of similar talk at Strange Loop, called "Picasso, Geometry, Jupyter." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYJ77F_8kq0
The topic and ideas were good, probably better than my Deconstruct talk. But my execution and presentation were uneven and unpolished, so I'd like to try it again at another conference. I'm submitting to PyCon — we'll see!

The actual problems with health insurance markets have less to do with information asymmetry and adverse selection than with too much information. That can make some people’s insurance very expensive at actuarially sound rates. For instance if you have a cancer of a given kind, this is verifiable to the outside world, and if the treatment costs are $200,000, the cost of an insurance policy will in turn be about $200,000. Buying the policy won’t be cheaper than buying the treatments, and in that sense the market for insurance is not always present. That is a very real public policy problem … The cheap sequencing of the genome may accelerate and intensify these issues. …

Me after #strangeloop: I'm not a real programmer unless I knit”
“I did a PhD in artificial intelligence at MIT. My undergraduate degree was in math. I’ve also studied cognitive science, biochemistry, Old English and Ancient Greek literature. None of that qualifies me to write Meaningness, but it may explain a certain STEM-ish orientation, decorated with occasional literary jokes. ...
I have founded, managed, grown, and sold a successful biotech informatics company. That may explain a certain practical orientation, and lack of interest in philosophical theories that depend on the world being very unlike the way it appears.”
I get a console.table() equivalent in Python by using Jupyter Notebook, which is a web-based REPL shell, and pandas, which is a library for working with tabular data. Pandas displays HTML tables when used with Jupyter.

"Cracking AGI is a very long-term goal. The most relevant field of research is considered by many to be reinforcement learning: the study of teaching computers how to beat Atari. Formally, reinforcement learning is the study of problems that require sequences of actions that result in a reward/loss, and not knowing how much each action contributes to the outcome. Hundreds of the world’s brightest minds, with the most elite credentials, are working on this Atari problem."
It's flexible part-time remote work, and you don't have to find clients yourself.
This course uses the same top down, code first, application centered teaching method as we used in our Practical Deep Learning for Coders course ... We have been inspired by Harvard professor David Perkin’s baseball analogy. We don’t require kids to memorize all the rules of baseball and understand all the technical details before we let them have fun and play the game."
