Yes, but there is a whole field of artificial intelligence called unsupervised learning that tries to identify labels without pre-defined labels. At the extreme end there are no externally imposed / defined labels and artificial labels are determined by empirical clusters or some orthogonal data pattern or algorithm. Unsupervised learning is much less effective and not as mature as supervised learning. In the case of LLMs the label is "next words" and it's inferred from a corpus of text.
I'd say labels (for supervised ML) are fundamentally different from rules (for expert systems), because
- labels are easy to decide in many cases
- rules require humans to analyze patterns in the problem space
- labels only concern each data point individually
- rules generalize over a class of data points
Might’ve been one of his other aircraft, or more likely he allowed it to lapse. PIA is something you have to keep updating/requesting to remain part of.
Zuul is great. After using it for about a year in production, I must say Zuul is everything I hoped for and more (coming from a Jenkins deployment previously.) Some of the concepts take a bit of effort to wrap my head around but once I understood them they make a lot of sense. Leveraging of Ansible is great. Making jobs cheap and inheritable is awesome.
I think we should start adopting the term 'tinnitus' when people argue with 'dogwhistle'. Just because a person calling X a dogwhistle of Y doesn't make it so.
Can you elaborate more? What are the things that are bad for general amp but good for guitar amp? Is the amplification non-linear in some specific ways and how does it help with guitar music? (I know nothing about guitar except what it looks like.)
General amps seek to diminish distortion. In particular:
1. Clipping - an overly amplified signal can have the peaks of its signal "clipped" off.
2. Cross-over distortion - because of the way most amplifiers work, one part of the circuit amplifies the positive signal, and one the negative (above and below the midpoint of the signal). Where the one part "crosses over" you can get a misalignment which results in distortion.
3. Harmonic distortion - for example the extent to which a 400Hz tone is translated into a certain amount of 800Hz, 1600Hz etc overtones.
All of these things can actually result in a cool guitar sound in the right proportions. Hard rock in particular has strongly distorted sounds created by tube amps (for the most part). But even sounds which we think of as cleaner have a significant amount of tube distortion (e.g. the intro to Sweet Home Alabama, or the main riff of Day Tripper). If you put an electric guitar into a regular amplifier, in general, it sounds flat and terrible.

I don't see any mention of government there. Why limit the interpretation of free speech to the US constitution? How do you reconcile ideologically or philosophically that it is not ok for US Congress to limit speech but ok for other powerful entities?
