"Resonance occurs when two sources of excitation fall completely in sync, and reinforce one another endlessly."

This is incorrect, even according to the wikipedia article it links to.

Resonance occurs when the excitation frequency matches a natural frequency of the system being excited, causing it to vibrate at larger amplitudes, even perhaps uncontrollably.

It seems that the author misunderstands mixing also - the graph that he presents for the mixed signal seems to be incorrect according to the other wikipedia article he links to.

Knowingly selling stolen goods is not new to the law. In California, selling a stolen item worth less than $500 is a misdemeanour, and carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison.

My son doesn't read a lot of books during the day, but we let him stay up after bedtime with a book (and a reading light), and the 'breaking the rules' part of that was compelling for him, even when he was questioning reading by himself when he didn't actually have those skills (he would look at pictures). Encouraging reading after bedtime means often he interrupts what I'm doing at night to ask for a new book and sometimes stays up too late and has trouble waking up in the morning, but I think it's worth it. Different kids need different things though.
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

But much of high school education in English involves reading ye olde public domain works, and I'm not sure they're actually that helpful for reading or writing. I feel like what kids are doing is practicing how to carry the pretense of intellectualism, but in a way that they, their peers, their teachers, or anyone else around them, feels is absolutely toy and obvious.

It's one thing to begin riding with training wheels, and it's another to keep them on even past high school. For some, indefinitely.

I feel what's important for future optimism is improvement on specifically scientific literacy and observational writing, and not Catcher in the Rye type assignments where nobody, you included, is expected to believe in anything you write. I don't think that's a healthy attitude for the next generation.
That's not “worse”, that's the entire point of using O() notation! The beauty of O() notation is that it lets us carry out, fully rigorously, computations like

(n + O(√n))(n + O(log n))^2 = (n + O(√n)(n^2 + O(n)) = n^3 + O(n^(5/2))

without dealing with a mess of sets and quantifiers. Please take a look at some works where asymptotic expressions are dealt with proficiently; you'll understand. (de Bruijn's book https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16834297 for example, or at least Chapter 9 of Concrete Mathematics.) I recently worked out an example here: https://cs.stackexchange.com/a/88562/891 — replacing all O() equations with “∈” and “⊆”, though it can be done ( https://math.stackexchange.com/a/86096/205 ), is just cumbersome and only distracts from what's going on.
That political elites (publicly) disagree with the public doesn't mean there's a deep state. It just means that your democracy isn't very responsive.

'Deep state' is being thrown around a lot these days. It's proper meaning is in relation to things like Italy's Propaganda Due lodge: a tightly-connected network of people who are in a strong sense anti-democratic, who are not publicly known but have something of a veto over the actions of an elected government.

Some of those features apply to the anti-Trump official world in the US, but only in a much weaker form. And this isn't to do with it, not least because Trump is the one pushing the button.

It's an excellent book. I was visiting Naples after reading the book, and I truly love the city, food and the people. The problem is, how my Neapolitan friends say, that visiting the city is safe and lovely, but living there maybe not.

I remember from the book how Camorra controls most of Europe's drug trafficking, how they test the new stuff with junkies in Scampia and only spread them to the north if the junkies don't die. For German/English party-goers to consume.

Or how they just basically dump toxic waste to the nature, spoiling one of the best kitchens in the world. How would you know the buffala mozzarella is not contaminated, or the delicious tomatoes...
I don't even claim that ARM is better than Intel on SIMD workloads. Quite the opposite. Intel has AVX2 and AVX512 that rip ARM apart on most highly parallel workloads.
This very specific snippet benefits a bit more from ARM SIMD due to the presence of specific instructions lacking in SSE. But AVX512 has so much more instructions, with a much wider application.
Those are very easy argument to make. But its very hard to find cases where they apply.

Once in a while you have a case where it makes sense, but very seldomly.

Most of the time you are much better at defending against uncertainty and economic hardship by putting some money assied rather then building a bunch of tanks.

This is, at best, a misleading presentation on resonance, and my first reaction is that it’s completely and horribly wrong.

> The coupling between the two sources is represented by the product of these signals. (Bringing signals into a context for multiplying is called “mixing”.)

The parenthetical is technically correct, but when two systems are coupled they only "mix" if there are strong nonlinearities. Normally when considering resonance you’re thinking of systems that are approximately linear, or even linear time-invariant systems. Under these approximation, the multiplication happens in the frequency domain which is fundamentally different.

Consider a wine glass and a speaker emitting a sound wave. If the speaker is tuned to the resonant frequency of the sound wave, you can shatter the glass—this is not because the signals are multiplied, but this is just because frequencies near the resonant frequency decay more slowly, so the speaker can keep adding more and more energy to the glass until it breaks.

Start reading about the relational model.

Then read about normalization and denormalization of tables.

You must take on mind this: MODEL. Is just a way to MODEL data. SQL is just a specific language for interact with RDBMS, and them constrain how express the MODEL similar how C++ is not the best way to express the OO MODEL but that is what you get when pick a specific implementation.

The key here is how organize data. The best designs on databases are just well-modeled data, and understand that queries that are costly benefit from using indexes OR (sometimes forgotten!) remodel the tables (or add more tables with a different projection of it).

With this idea firm on mind, you can use any RDBMS in the world and be very good.

You need to spice all this with the knowledge on how use a RDBMS for full effect, so you not get the idea that is "wrong" to use views or stored procedures or any of the tools are you disposal, similar you will use all the power you can get from C++ or Python or whatever. But at the end of the day, is just data organized in tables and how relate all of this.

P.D: And use Postgress for study all of this (and using on production too!). Why? because PG is the one closer to implement the SQL standard, is solid and have a very good tooling and implementation. Any other could work but after using more than a dozen I think PG is the best overall pick for this...

Western militaries were and are designed for high-intensity armoured warfare in mitteleuropa against a near-tech-equivalent opponent. That capability cannot be sacrificed incase it is really needed - but an Army designed for that isn’t good for the ongoing Middle East and Afghan situation. It isn’t trained or equipped for it and hasn’t recruited for it.

What the West should have done is designated another force for that. Something like (but not exactly) keeping the Army as it was and transforming the Marines into a desert-fighting force. Or taking elements of the Army and Marines and making an entirely new force. Or something like the French Foreign Legion.

Yes this is HN so expect relentless and ignorant anti-China sentiment. Just ignore it.

What's happening in China is extraordinarily interesting. Nationalization is not the goal. The government has invested enormously in tech. And it's not just a matter of money, the government has rebuilt whole cities in order to house the growing number of tech workers. (What's happening in San Francisco would never happen in China.)

It's a level of government investment not seen since the US gave it's military-industrial complex a blank check in the 50s and the 60s. And this is exactly what China is trying to copy: just like those massive US investments led to world changing innovations like Silicon Valley and the internet itself, China is going its own investments will produce similarly huge innovations around AI and much else. The goal here is not to produce a few unicorns here and there or to have a Chinese version on FANG but to produce another transistor or Internet. This is what's necessary to produce whole new paradigms and whole new markets and will ultimately generate the real lasting wealth and power that the Chinese think they need to "take care of everybody."

The interesting thing is that this money isn't being tunneled through the military. China is handing money straight to the technologists.

It'll be interesting to see if it pays off. The biggest problem in Chinese tech is not the enormous stream of government money but that it is still very insular. What China is missing that the US had in its hey day was very open borders that allowed the best and the brightest scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to come and put all that money to good use. The danger here is not simply that Chinese tech will fail to penetrate other markets but that it will fail to even really innovate due to lack of global input.

Depends on what exactly you need. Ideally you should be focusing on building only the core of your product yourself and outsourcing the rest to other service providers. Ex: billing + invoicing to a reseller, hosting to an IaaS service etc.

That’s all true for chemistry and physics too, once there’s an understanding of the princples. Yet new chemical compounds are patentable.

And software is hardly pure numbers and logic. Many aspects of algorithms (and patents) are related to real world elements of the _machine_ executing instructions. The concept of a “space-efficient” algorithm is only meaningful because space has a real world cost and imposes constraints. There are no implications for space in pure “numbers and logic”.

Yes! I have been bewildered as to why Cybernetics has been so woefully neglected.

"Introduction to Cybernetics" is available as a free PDF. (Linked from this page: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/ASHBBOOK.html )

Cybernetics is formally beyond logic. It deals with circular loops in causality in the most general yet concrete sense.

One way I try to describe it (to an audience like HN readers) is that Information Theory is about making the real world behave like symbols, while Cybernetics is about making symbols behave like the real world.

Why are the signals being multiplied together instead of added together? Multiplying them is very unusual. Even the wikipedia article linked by the site, with the text "Bringing the signals into a context for multiplying is called 'mixing' [1]", is talking about adding signals; not about multiplying them.

My hats off to you. I didn't try Silmarillion until I was in my 20s, but I was unable to stick with it to the end.

I think it has to be the social part, not the electronics per se. When I was a tween, we had mostly non-networked PCs and games (e.g. Atari, NES). We played on them plenty, to be sure, but I still spent most of my time with friends outdoors. Today it seems like most games have a social aspect to them, and right along with reading/replying to comments on places like HN, it's the feeling of connectedness that is addicting. Electronics is how, not the why. In my opinion :)
Why in the world! are people allowing this without making the cars pass any sort of road worthiness test?

For example, make a robotic dummy walk in front of the car without notice. Does the car break and avoid a collision?

Such basic things can be formulated into a test and have the cars pass them before allowing them (even with a driver) on the roads..

It amazes me that people just stand by and allow these "tests" to happen within an unsuspecting population...
