Wavelength (mm) ≈ Velocity of wave (Mm/sec) / Frequency (GHz)
w = v / f
We know v will be 300 (rounded up based on the speed of light mentioned above). For f, we need to plug in the Wi-Fi frequency.
You could just use 2.4, but in order to be a little more accurate, we will use two more decimal places. For channel 6 in the 2.4GHz spectrum, we need to plug in 2.437. Solving for w yields ~123mm.
w = 300 Mm / 2.437 GHz
w = 123.102175
Now that we know the (w)avelength for our radio (f)requency, we can begin calculating the dimensions of the can based on the guidelines mentioned previously.
"This is very common" seems to be a refrain this year with Harvard, Stanford and so on. Yet we have trouble accepting this is a real problem when we approach 'climate change' from an emotional or political standpoint. I say this as an environmentalist who doesn't understand why we can't be more straightforward. Why we keep losing talented people when they can't fix the numbers to fit the narrative? This has been a 'thing' my entire life but I feel like it is reaching a crescendo, adjacent to the lack of motion in QED.
I used the new AI assisted LinkedIn summary and it had all the usual buzzwords I can't stand either but, alongside things like company 'culture' (we're a family here) it looked to me to be the kind of vapid and saccharine paragraph that presents the corporate image we 'want' to present. I thought hey, at least I didn't have to write it.
Seems like a bunch of kids who were born into borderline fraudulent culture... and now damage control pieces (ordered from SBF's jail cell maybe, ha) are being tolerated... maybe with the tacit support of a culture which would rather think of these as things that 'everyone does.' Somewhat akin to the Stanford or Harvard data integrity issues, maybe? This is just business as usual and sometimes it spills over. Who cares as long as you are headquartered in the Caymans, right? To be sure, all of these 'oopsies! SBF is such a sweet, gentle soul' articles of late look a little weird. Dude threw his GF under the bus in obvious fashion.
Going to go out on a limb and ask if anyone would do forensics on these 'photos.' There is a pretense here, maybe even aside from the door being green, which might justify a little magic.
At least don't let a good crisis go to waste, right. We might never make it out of covid but we should try to get lockdowns going again in other ways. Something like this is a perfect example. Lock down and stay safe. Shelter in place. Save the planet.
...there's a Rick that works more with wood, than with polarity plating. His name is Simple Rick, but he's no dumby. He realized long ago that the greatest thing he'd ever create was his daughter.
I'm sort of experiencing a weird paradoxical feeling about this. I was spied on by Google and given the FooBar test, which I passed... and until which time I would have never thought of myself as that type of programmer. I can comprehend design patterns, or even have an intuition, but I don't generally think of them upfront (maybe I do more in recent years, maybe it is a skill which can be developed). What I have always been is curious, and just trying stuff out until it works, which I feel like I've seen spoken of a lot. I'm a hackathon winner. I've collected half of the network engineering encyclopedia, which is not really considered when we think about 'programming' exclusively, yet is ironically compared to 'leetcode' here. I've worked on industrial applications. I've gone back to first principles and maths in this AI summer and I'm having fun. I had a previous professional life in music and I've been excited about algorithmic composition (et al) for decades. I have a love for math. That said, I've never felt like the big brain stats types or many of my colleagues in programming. And for that matter, many of that type (anecdotal) have never done the creative things I have in music, etc. So all in all, maybe there are different types of talents!
Lately, in light of things like Substack, I'm really wondering why we don't see more micropayments. Sure, it make more sense to pay $5/month if I'm going to read everything from that author, but (at least sometimes) I would pay $1 for one article. As for services, there are a few core reasonable things to pay for: cloud storage, hosting, maybe Github copilot or Adobe. What is certain is that no one wants to pay for 500 Twitch Streamers, every author of every Substack, youTube AND Hulu etc etc.
I think Tarot is a system meant to look into one's own subconscious through archetypes. Receiving a reading from someone would make more sense if they actually did "read" you rather than using a warm or cold read, or another confidence trick. But even if they can or do read you, or are literally psychic, having someone else read your cards is probably the least effective way to use something like Tarot. Yes you could do this with any arbitrary system. Sometimes people doodle or do other distracting thing as they intuit or think through things. Take for example 'reading the tea leaves.' It can simply be an arbitrary canvas which is a tool to project upon. There may be other levels, I am merely a fellow traveller, but maybe this is something the average person can use.
I understand this sentiment now, but I've already made GPT work in ways which boggle the mind, in my own time, and I'm a nobody. So this concern might be rephrased as (something like) "Kids will need to learn how to use GPT to validate secondary sources."
You know, I said from the start: if the messaging around the pandemic actually matched reality, if cars were sliding off roads like a Hollywood movie (and this article tacitly suggests) you wouldn't have to work so hard to convince people to isolate, etc. Even then, as we knew and now know, masking and staying indoors would only do so much. But it wasn't that way, and we all know it. "Bad at underwater basket weaving" is how this article reads. It jumps the shark. It asks questions because it could hardly make an assertion like this.
Don't come in here reading or thinking or "doing your own research." We're here to comply and Follow The Science. Like the article says, covid denial like this lowers your IQ, makes you bad at underwater basket weaving, as well as personally responsible for the rise in mass shootings. Besides, false flags are just a conspiracy theory and the government never lies.
Sheesh the comments on the ID! All morality and legality aside, we have to take a little bit of context into account. The Great Woz is behaving in the much heralded spirit of the age, encapsulated in things like Make. He may as well actually be the Lazer and Chief (retired) of the Defiance Department. A sense of humor might help with the nuance. Imagine the back-office or radio chatter tho. "Casino security says the bills are real. They have better machines than we do. Right. Some technician at Apple. Makes sense. Alright Tom I'll call you back."
Self-awareness is powerful. It's interesting, I can't think of anything except alcohol where almost everyone agrees a 'sober October' or 'dry January' is a good idea. It's almost like booze is more dangerous than its level of social acceptance would indicate.
underpowered and overpriced ;) This irks me a little bit from time to time. But right now we're in a sweet spot where used 2010-2020 Intel hardware can be had for pretty cheap:
Apple MacBook Pro 13in Core i5 Retina 2.7GHz (MF840LL/A), 8GB Memory, 256GB Solid State Drive (Renewed) $379.99
I wanted a 90's era Powerbook so bad. The 2015 is a great machine in 2022. Over the years I heard the elders say it: buy used on the cycle if you can't afford the newer gen. It's really true. And I rarely hear someone who buys the expensive loaded kit complain, even 10 years later. This is how they get away with it. I think I must have learned Linux attempting to rescue my Windows systems, haha. Now I want to rant about Darwin...
I would imagine it is at least a segment. While real-time audio is possible in Linux and other BSD aside from MacOS, the frustration comes when wanting to work with proprietary software. Since around Windows 10 many people have been satisfied with the latency of a beefy enough system, but an i5/8gb 2015 era Mac will still run real-time, inter-application as well as aggregate audio devices flawlessly. If you ever tried to work with audio in Windows leading up to this point... yeah. Anyway Bitwig is awesome and runs in Ubuntu with cheap PC hardware! Now if we could just get Native Instruments involved. Most class-compliant USB interfaces work in Ubuntu in my experience.
Indeed, many people induce unnecessary stress upon themselves spewing vitriol. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/22/medical-errors-third-leading... I spoke in general on purpose, to avoid getting into the weeds on statistics like this. Of course we are aware of modern medical techniques. But the general divide between holistic and allopathic medicine is well known. Perhaps a deep breath is in order.
I don't know about 'ugly gaps' but its night and day compared to moving an analog knob with CV. Professional Composer guy may not have an issue. Perhaps indeed they are prolific in their marvelous, professional compositions (perhaps using CV)... but the limited expression of 128 steps is obvious to me. Source: I make techno.
Boosters are extremely effective to stop the spread. A large percentage of those with at least 2 boosters experience no symptoms when exposed. However it is still important to continue to mask to protect yourself and others as boosters may not stop transmission, even if you never experience symptoms. Again, for most people covid will exhibit mild to no symptoms. It's our most vulnerable who are at risk from the unmasked and unvaccinated. So please, get your boosters and wear a mask.
Why is he distracting from the obvious point that we should all tar and feather that fascist Musk, destroy Twitter and replace it with something which will only enforce our clearly infallible views?
