Ah, the late nights hacking on a 386 in QBasic. Life would have gone down a different path without that dusty clicking and blinking thing. I guess we're getting old. Now the damned things are trying to write their own code.
Nuclear power plants create large amounts of waste that remain radioactive for thousands of years. In the United States, most nuclear waste is stored on site at the plant. This is because there is simply nowhere else to put it. Uranium is a natural material and will eventually run out, much like fossil fuels. In other words, cross nuclear off the list of sustainable energy. Solar energy would be the most obvious sustainable source, we just need better ways of converting the energy.
I agree completely. Taking more but giving the same in return. What companies lose is brand loyalty. Startups want to be Apple but plan for sprints instead of a marathon. Spotify and Netflix work as a subscription model because the model provides more value to customers. The artists get screwed over but I digress.
Journalists have been doing this the last few years without using a disclaimer. Personally, I think it's completely different as film and music is art. If this was done with music it would be especially damaging. Imagine your favourite songs being remastered and arranged for the worst. Artists could rework unsuccessful albums, which is weird.
Where is the "trust science" crowd when stuff like this goes down. It's strangely quiet in here. Shouldn't they be here telling us how this is a mistake because the editorial and peer review process prevents this? Something about how science brought us all of technology? Oh, that was actually capitalism? Oh great science, where great minds get paid by industry to submit their doctored conclusions to a journal, attached with a small bribe.
The perverse incentives still exist outside of capitalism. People, including scientists, do not like to admit when they are wrong. There is no incentive to retract a study. Bribery and corruption are not a trait of any particular economic system. It is easy to make criticisms but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
The 95.3% efficacy for Pfizer and 94.1% efficacy for Moderna are based on early studies. This is incredibly old news. We've since learned that the efficacy wanes over time. This was first evidenced by increasing case counts with Delta and then the huge resurgence in cases with the arrival of Omicron. In other words, you can only expect 95% efficacy for a number of weeks. That is why the narrative changed to instead focus on reduction in hospitalization.
Only a fool would trust statistics. Confidence is proportional to the p-value. False positives are very common. The author acknowledged that the results are not significant.
That scatterplot of random data with a clean line through it is practically art. Statisticians will draw a line through a plot of noise and infer that the slope shows correlation. The race war thing was a conservative meme for a time. There may be some correlation there. Racial bias is a spectrum independent of political affiliation. Liberals do like to ride a high horse though.
Company, not individual. There is a list on Wikipedia but it shows 34 games, not over 50. It's a shovelware factory. They farmed the work out to employees and contractors. I think they got lucky, they were on the verge of bankruptcy. Not efficient or repeatable.

A low success rate is not a sign you're doing things right. If you're solving a real problem people will not have an issue paying you. There is a real opportunity cost to starting a business and I would not advise anyone to use this strategy. For starters, I don't see how anyone could possibly have 70 projects. I can only assume they are a con artist.
I know the difference, I'm an engineer. I assumed you were talking about recording since quite obviously you can get a bit-perfect signal from the digital side. It's maybe not so obvious going the other way. There is a persistent myth that digital audio is inferior in some way. The signal chain is not doing any processing. Quantization noise is not audible and can be removed using oversampling. On the other hand analog recording introduces flutter, distortion, and noise that cannot be easily removed.
The Salt Fix outlines how restricting sodium intake causes kidney issues and disturbs insulin response. It is causing iodine deficiency as well, which leads to thyroid problems. The author suggests HFCS and white sugar caused the obesity epidemic along with the associated health problems. This has been suppressed for decades by the industry. The Mediterranean diet is only a basic hypothesis.
A DAC is a sampler that sends digital audio to your computer. ASIO bypasses the operating system audio driver. The signal chain is that simple. I'm not sure what you mean.
It's actually incoherent. The author concludes that we need to move away from fossil fuels as a species. So AC is fine then, yeah? Or is the plan to give ourselves heat stroke until we figure out sustainable energy? Why is my higher standard of living being compared to those in Africa? I don't live in Africa.
You have missed the point. Scientists were the ones making it black and white. The consensus was the sun was bad for your health. They said stay out of the sun and supplement with vitamin D. As for salt, scientists got that wrong as well. Read The Salt Fix [1] for more on that.
That's the first I've heard that solar radiation protects against cancer. That's enough evidence for me to stop supplementing vitamin D and go outside. Next time hesitate before telling us the thing responsible for life on earth is bad. Really great experts we have who also got the food pyramid and multivitamins wrong. The scientific method isn't working too well if it's consistently churning out peer reviewed false conclusions.
It's inconceivable, looking at it gives me a feeling of derealization. God doesn't begin to explain it. We're some primates on a speck of dust why all of this then? To me it looks like a hall of mirrors. It's like looking at a procedurally generated image in a simulated universe.
Scientists artificially select invasive squirrels who are suspicious of devices that look like a trap creating an out of control wave of super squirrels. Also, they better be certain this doesn't affect species like eagles and hawks that eat these things.
> We want to do the right thing by our employees. [...] And it’s really unclear what the right thing is. [...] We do have office space and we have welcomed people back to the office, but not many have been coming in.
It took me a while but I just did the complex analysis including some long division. It turns out the right thing by the employees is the thing they are freely choosing to do. So it appears the right thing is to give them that freedom, unless of course the premise is flawed.
14 G's! That would knock you out. There's no way it was that high. I looked it up and it says they tested it on chimpanzees. I'm sure the monkeys were absolutely thrilled.
Tony Stark from the comic books was based on Howard Hughes. When they developed the character for film, they used Elon Musk as inspiration for the character. So you have it backwards, Elon was even in Iron Man 2. Most of his PR stunts make the news so I don't think Twitter makes much difference.
Tesla computer vision is done using neural networks. The tech has migrated to make driving decisions using neural nets as well. The code is basically just an artifact used to create a digital mind. However, it's possible that digital mind is operating vehicles at the level of a chimpanzee.
Call for pricing is usually B2B. Best case they want a salesperson to twist your arm, worst case the price is as much as they can squeeze out of you. If you ask why they waste people's time like this they'll say they're actually delivering maximum value. It's dishonest and archaic.
Yes, I have this problem. I listen to electronic music when I code. It usually helps me focus. That is, until some vocalist fades in the mix rambling some inane crap I am forced to divert my attention to. It's like any other interruption for me. The human voice is impossible to ignore. It irritates me to such a level I wonder whether I'm on the spectrum.
