Piano tunings are also "stretched" so that the harmonics are more in tune. This is especially needed on verticals and short "baby" grands. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_tuning

I have software I use when I tune my Bosendorfer 290 that calculates the stretch. Of course, the final tweaks are done by ear.

> For example, the Physical reality is the different frequencies of light. The Biological reality is that different types of cells on our retina respond with differing intensity to each of those frequencies.

Because this isn't true. And there are multiple ways with completely different combinations of intesities of light at different frequencies to have a color that most people will see as the same color. This is because the color receptors of our eye overlap.

Of course, if you read back you will notice I am quite aware that the mapping is not a one to one bijection. Hence the need to solve the inverse problem.

One can maintains the inverse image (a set), or maintain a distribution over that, or certain statistics of that distribution. I have a link in my post about what inverse problems are.

We see different colors not because our eyes can tell what frequency a particular spectral color is, but because we have three types of color receptors, each of which is excitied by different broad ranges of overlapping frequencies.

Either my English is very bad or your comprehension is. My understanding is no different from what you say in this comment.

There's two sides to this. Companies need to be able to make sure they're able to locate (and not miss) viable candidates. But job-seekers need to know there's a legitimate company and an actual job. There are many job scams out there, especially for entry level, low-skill jobs.

In my early days, I once went through three interviews for a small "start up." On the third round, the founder admitted he couldn't pay me in anything but "equity" even though I specifically asked about funding and compensation on the first interview. (I got a very early "Craigs List" to pull the job listing--with an personal reply from Craig Newmark--and the "employer" settled with me for several thousand after I sent a demand letter and filed a claim in Santa Clara County small claims court for fraud.)

I'm 64 years old. I'm on an airplane _right now_ vibe coding in C#. I have written code professoinally every day for over 40 years, and now I'm invigorated! It's the same thrill as when I wrote my first Fortran or IBM BAL programs back in 1979.

Poor people do this much more often than rich people.

"more"... in number of cases, or in total amount of tax revenue lost?

I would love to see your source for this claim.

You left out the part where the build quality is not up to par with a MacBook, which is what is actually being discussed.

I'd rather have a thousand form-factors and build qualities to choose from than the one-size-fits-all that Apple offers. If Apple doesn't make it, then you can't run their software on it, and they don't make too many form factors.

I can run Windows on a USB stick form-factor if I want to. Or dozens of tablet sizes from various vendors. And every kind of laptop imaginable, with all kinds of features. And everything else up to massive rack-mount server hardware. But sure, if a Macbook is all you need, then go for it.

I really hope our Government seeks out all these terrorists and Iran boosters on Hacker News who work in high tech. It’s a supply chain risk and none of them should be working.
