I really don't think the proposal to do "fewer, but better" experiments work with animal studies. They are so expensive and so complicated and so much work and only answer singular, small questions that you almost always need a ton of further follow up work.

For instance, in the field I work in you have to spend days to months waiting for tumors to grow and then go and treat the animals every day for a couple of weeks with an IV drug (weekends too!). That is a a lot of work and at the end only tells you one piece of information about the drug: does it slow tumor growth in this one experimental model. It may in fact do that -- and you may get a really great p-value if you increase the number of mice -- but you still need to study the drug's pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, in vivo mechanism of action (assuming you already know the in vitro mechanism of action). These are not just optional experiments that we require today to publish: this kind of work is essential to presenting a story about a new drug. It's not just about what it does, but how it works and universalizable it is.

It's reasonably consistent. Differences in non-linearity will result in different amplitudes for each intermodulation product, but not different frequencies. Typically these systems use the "third order" product. I gather that the non-linearity exploited is as much a property of the air as the ear.
> Your bottleneck is most likely not CPU or Python itself.

I've found that this is often the case. Nearly always disk or network. But it's sometimes surprising how little work you need to do to become CPU-bound. This is the price we pay for such a tremendously dynamic language.

Indeed, the article's suggestions of C/Cython/PyPy are good ones to remedy the problem when it occurs.

Honest question: So the tokens would be used to operate on the "filecoin blockchain" as a fee to store files. A.)

This article has it exactly backwards: you shouldn't use technical implementations to rule out features—instead, you should use features to rule out technical implementations. The users care about what your program can do, not how you implemented it—and certainly won't be sympathetic if how you implemented it hinders them from accomplishing what they're trying to do.
It's easy. The true play is an augmented reality game... wait a minute... hear me out.

So, you sign up for 10USD a month, for unlimited cinema visits. Any more than one visit means that Moviepass loses money.

So while they are selling you this service... they also need to do everything in their power to ensure you don't use it. Buried in the terms and conditions and innocuous sounding statement which gives them the unrestricted right to warp your understanding of reality.

For example, you're walking down the street on your way to see Guardians of the Galaxy 15: 2Guardians2Galaxy when you receive a text message indicating incoming North Korean ICBMs... this is it... you quickly check some news sites (which they access to through an information sharing agreement, or by sub-contracting to a money starved NSA) and they all say the same thing: to have any hope of survival you need to get out of the city now... and find shelter.

Obviously by the time you figure it was all a fake you've missed your showing and need to wait another 24 hours, when they'll have another more extreme and equally convincing scenario to distract you.

I can even envisage that they'll start sub-contracting this out mech-turk style. "$1 to convince 1000 people not to go to the cinema today using information warfare" that kind of thing.

In case this isn't the true play, any VCs out their let me know, I'm seeking 10MUSD for 15%. My MVP is this post.

>It's that in some scenarios python can't be made fast.

Can you give some examples of this? I mean, obviously with enough effort you can "make python fast" since it has good C bindings, and can just be a thin wrapper around fast stuff. Similar to how command line tools can be ridiculously fast[^1] despite, ostensibly, running in bash.

So I'm a bit confused about what you're claiming. Organizational issues, it's difficult to get management on board with an optimization pass?

ugh, I can't stand this.

1. No, it will not necessarily happen. You can focus on one thing and still fail. See the story about the guy who dropped everything to try and be a professional golfer.

2. When you spend 20 years of your life doing that one thing, you'd better succeed because if not, it means you failed everything.

3. You need to define success. Being awesome at one thing is not for everyone. Steve Jobs' last words were about how giving everything to being the best at business stripped him from a good chunk of enjoyable things life has to offer.

4. Some people are excellent at a lot of stuff - Leonardo da Vinci is a good example.

5. Everyone should learn not to expect to become someone exceptional. You'll live happier if you accept the fact that you may never be in the top 0.1% of anything. As a consolation, you'll be like the remaining 99.9% of humanity.
Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental, so in this case they will also be ultrasonic.

Equation 2 in the paper and the subsequent paragraph shows what is going on. They use an ultrasonic carrier with modulation. The non-linearity causes the carrier to mix with the sidebands, the third-order intermodulation product being a copy of the modulation centred on 0Hz (ie. a baseband signal).

Edit: Figure 12 talks about harmonics, in the context of harmonics of the third order intermodulation product. What they are really refering to are the higher order: 5th, 7th, and so on intermodulation products, which in this case will be multiples of the third order product's frequency.

>I think it's quite likely that both sexual orientation and jaw size are influenced by the same hormones

Ok. I think it's also quite likely that they're not.

>(most feminine woman) (average straight woman) (average gay woman) (most feminine man) (most masculine woman) (average gay man) (average straight man) (most masculine man)

Are you serious about this? Gay men are just men who are sexually attracted to men. You'd think that the idea that gay men are sexually attracted to men because they are more feminine than other men would have died in the face of all the obvious counterexamples, now that fewer people are hiding their sexuality, but it seems surprisingly persistent.

The problem with this kind of thing is that despite representations to the contrary, no-one is really interested in the group means for their own sake. They are interested because they want to pedal the tired old theory that gayness is a defect resulting from a lack of masculinity. People are often too polite (or afraid?) to say that now, but gay people are capable of reading between the lines.

Sure. Whenever a "config change" (Note: this includes adding or removing targets to a target group, EG Autoscaling) happens on an ALB, the ALB drops all active connections, and re-establishes them at once, at high load, this obviously causes significant load spikes on any underlying service.

You can see this happening by looking at the "Active Connection Count" graphs from your ALB, and adding or removing an instance from an ASG.

At 30+GBPS and over 20kRPS, removing one instance can cause absolute chaos.

> Do you authorize anyone to share this sensitive information with them?

Almost certainly. Any time you've taken a loan, opened a bank account, rented a car, etc. you've likely agreed to it in the fine print.

Whether you had any choice in the matter is a far more important question.
If you're basing company decisions on these types of articles, then you shouldn't be making these types of decisions.
Python is also heavily used in science, where performance really does matter. It's successful because of how highly ergonomic python apis can be built on top of optimised C/C++/Fortran libraries.

That said, there is clearly a desire to write 'fast' code in python itself without swapping to C. Cython helps, but to get really fast Cython code you actually have to write with C-semantics (so you are basically writing C with Python syntax).

Projects like numba JIT are interesting in that they can optimise domain-specific code (i.e. numerical/array code) that's written in normal python style. It also means jumping through a few hoops (although with the latest version in many cases all you need is a single decorator on your hot function). You can even do GIL-less multithreading in some cases.

Overall things are looking promising, with the addition of the frame evaluation API and possible improvements to the python C-api that could make JIT and similar extentions easier.

The fact that Python is slow isn't its only problem. What I care more about nowadays is wasting my time hunting bugs that could have been avoided by a static type system.
"It doesn't matter than Python is slow, besides we can use compiled libraries to speed it up"

"People saying it doesn't matter that Python is slow are deluding themselves and preventing Python from getting faster like JS did"

"Python is inherently harder to optimize than JS since it has <very dynamic features>"

"Smalltalk/Lisp/etc are also very dynamic yet are much faster"

"The slowness of Python is harming the planet by being inefficient and therefore wasting more energy/producing more pollution"

Did I miss any arguments? I know certain topics are bound to attract some repetitive discussion, but "Python is slow" has been one of the worst.
> very likely to be lower than 4%

Where in the article does it say that? I can see

but there's no indication of how likely any part of that range is.

As far as DRM goes, people are going to pirate it, and I'm not. But I also don't want to pay money to get a worse, more limited experience than those who pirate it. If the DRM prevents me from doing things that would be trivial for a pirate, something has gone horribly wrong. Yet that's our standard now.
Square Keywhiz: A system for distributing and managing secrets

There are more than three - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovis for example - but the big three are the ones with market power. Anyone can start one - but it's tough getting banks and landlords to use you, especially in the beginning when you've got no data. Massive barriers to entry.
I remember reading about EpiPen when they did their price hike. The main reason they were able to do it is the FDA had given them (intentionally or not) a de-facto monopoly in the US.

https://mises.org/blog/lack-epipen-competitors-fdas-fault

Of course, we don't want just anyone to be able to package up anything and sell it (unless it's the nutrition industry, for some reason) but at the same time, the EpiPen business isn't good for the country either.

What's funny, is this company did the same thing as Shkreli, but does their CEO get the same treatment?
Square's Keywhiz secret management system is another dedicated service used to provide general security for sensitive data. Like Vault, Keywhiz exposes APIs that clients and users can use to store and access secrets. One unique feature that Keywhiz offers is the ability to expose secrets using a FUSE filesystem, a virtual filesystem that clients can mount to access the sensitive data as pseudo-files. This mechanism allows many different types of programs to access the data they need without the help of an agent or wrapper and it allows administrators to lock down access using normal Unix filesystem permissions.
I get the point this guy is making, but if you need something parallel for a cpu bound task, throwing more hardware at the problem isn't the most efficient solution if you can just use more cores. For example adding another quad core when the first cpu is only using one core anyway is inefficient and expensive.

Right tool for the right job I suppose.

By that PATENTS.md file, Facebook could totally ream a company by doing the following:

1. Identify a competitive service or one that FB would like to build into their offerings, that is currently using React.

2. Litigate against that company, with any patent claim, whether justifiable or not. It will take months, if not years, for even the most frivolous suit to get thrown out.

3. Use the litigation period to revoke the company's license to React, effectively shutting down their product.
