I've heard people talk about binaural beats before, but always brushed it off as pseudoscience.

> The noninvasive treatment induces brain waves called gamma oscillations.

Is this true? Does anyone have a link that explains these brain wave patterns in layman's terms? What exactly is happening to my brain when listening to these sounds?
The whole point of the article is that constant factors work in Hashbrown's favour.
Unless I'm missing something the author answers that here:

> Edit, November 2014: ... Had we used, say, the Maximum Likelihood estimator or a sufficient estimator like min(x), our initial misinterpretation of the confidence interval would not have been as obviously wrong, and may even have fooled us into thinking we were right. But this does not change our central argument, which involves the question frequentism asks. Regardless of the estimator, if we try to use frequentism to ask about parameter values given observed data, we are making a mistake.
There is already FIRST robotics competitions for that. FIRST tech league in particular is pretty software oriented. There programs are a great way to get students into programming and learning about writing real software.

My car and I are stupid in different ways. It has perfect attention and will always brake in time to avoid a fender-bender in traffic. It’s also a lot worse than I am about reading and communicating intent with other drivers or simply recognizing the objects around us.
A little trick that will work for "geeks" but won't scale is:

- My personal phone number is in a remote area code, of a sparsely populated state, from where I don't know anybody.

- Any phone calls that come from this area code are blocked (well, actually, they have a silent ring tone.)

This gets rid of about 90% of the spam/robocalls because these days, 90% of them spoof a local areacode/exchange.

Of course, if everyone did this, they'd stop doing it. But it works for now and makes my personal cell phone useful. I did have to do some finagling to get my carrier (T-Mobile) to give me a phone with an area-code of a different state.

I don't have a lot of faith that STIR/SHAKEN will help in any real way. They'll just have to rent numbers from people who don't care about the law, and/or registered with bogus information so it won't be worth anyone's while to find them.
It's not clear to me why deep learning is required here. It seems like some dead simple lane following code would probably work just fine. This is generally how these competitions are done.
>and the ability to have different tips on them to increase fit for more people and to provide the option of sealing out outside noise.

This is the single biggest reason why I won't upgrade to the AirPods. For me, the AirPods simply fall out of my ears. That's why I stick with the Etymotic Ear Phonnes: https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones.html

For whatever reason, that flanged shape fits my ears so perfectly well and blocks out all other noises that I don't see myself using any other Ear Phones for a long while. If AirPods provided the option of a flange shape like the Etymotics, then I'd be compelled to buy an AirPod.
The GDPR does not allow you to block people who do not consent.

Well, it's never gone to court yet, so I guess you can't say for sure. But that's how it's widely interpreted.
If previous sensors required 300 photons and new ones require 10, that would be an absolutely incredible achievement. (Scale that to whatever current state of the art is for camera sensors, of course)

That's what I think of when I hear "30x improvement", at least.
> Trump is a result of economic pain more than racism,

This is an already popular idea, and as a sibling comment notes one refuted by all factual investigation.

> help the working class, don’t vilify them.

This is, nevertheless, a correct answer (in large part because it is selling an alternative, well-grounded, highly-resonant status threat narrative which there is reason to expect could displace the other as a primary concern, not because economic concerns actually powered Trump). It's also a popular one already in the Democratic Party being the central idea of the Sanders and Warren campaigns, and an important idea for Harris and several other candidates. But it's not something Yang is particularly needed to, or likely to, make a difference in the overall prominence of.

> 2. A lot of people are getting left behind, we should find ways of helping them out, not abandoning them

This is like almost precisely a restatement of the second half of #1, not a separate point.

> (for instance changing the electoral college so costal cities can determine the course of the country alone)

Eliminating the electoral college wouldn't do that, anyhow, unless you expand “coastal” to mean “near any surface or subsurface body of fresh or salt water”. And the disenfranchised—by the EC and/or partisan gerrymandering—residents of the cities (coastal or not), aside from the narrow wealthy elite, are very much being left behind, not least by policies that fail to account adequately for real poverty.

Yes. Normally you can have one thread writing to a data structure OR many threads reading the data structure at any given time and not need to worry about them causing problems. (This situation is common enough that we have things called "reader-writer mutexes" or "shared-exclusive" mutexes.)

As soon as your reads can modify the internal state of the data structure, it might modify the state in a way which trips up another read; so you can no longer have many threads reading the data structure at once.

>Commission for marketing and/or maintaining a platform for sale is not uncommon

I think this would be a strong point if commissioning the store was the primary means of income for apple. But apple strategically uses the fees to attack their competitors. Squeezing spotify for example with a 30% fee while at the same time pushing out apple music for a ~30% lower price.

That in my mind is not a content agnostic platform seeking to make money as a service provider, but leveraging a platform to attempt to gain monopolistic power by force.

> but a light that matches my local sun cycle would be useless: At night (when I actually need it) it would be off.

The daylight cycle matching (and the manual tuning) varies color temp between 2700K and 6500K; it doesn't (at least, in any of the description) vary light level. It's basically the same concept (but more localized) as f.lux for desktop screens.
Yes, due to the hit in performance. We'd love to turn them on unconditionally, and the language is spec'd so that we can someday, but since overflow is not a memory safety issue on its own, and there is a performance hit when checking, this is the current compromise.
This has some very appealing aspects—I'm particularly intrigued by the stand design—but I'm mystified by the idea that a lamp designed to last six decades apparently requires an app to operate many of it's key features. Sixty years ago there was, as far as I can tell, one significant digital network in the world[0], and the smallest computers weren't desktops--they were desks.[1] It seems all but impossible that Dyson's app is still going to be available and functional for more than maybe a decade of this lamp's projected lifespan. Computer technology just evolves too fast. I would really appreciate if $600+ appliances would include in the box everything that they need to operate to the best of their capabilities, so that we don't end up with lamps stuck in alarm clock mode when Dyson doesn't upgrade their app to work with iOS 16.

As a feat in itself this is definitely very impressive, but I wonder if it's really worth anyone's time to spend precious lecture time with your mind fully occupied in the mechanical task of taking notes rather than actually absorbing and engaging with the content. Especially for an extremely content-dense subject like Mathematics, where you need all your concentration just to process what you are reading and follow along the logic.

There is absolutely no dearth of study material on the internet. It's one thing to take notes as part of your study process. There it helps solidify your understanding. But surely taking notes on the fly when you have been barely introduced to the subject isn't going to help with that.
Same reaction here! Jumping from 2 -> 4 was a pretty big change to our codebase. Glad for this.

> The first order problem that materialism brings us is the inherent nihilism in the 'we are just a random bag of particles problem'

We are just a random bag of particles with self replicating power and the end result of billions of years of competitive self replication under limited resources (evolution). We survived entropy for long by learning to sense, make use of and adapt to the changing environment. Our fundamental internal purpose is to exist and to make more of ourselves (just another way of saying 'to exist').

We're agents learning to sense and act in a way that would maximise our future rewards, reward types which have been selected by evolution to serve self replication.

I don't see nihilism in this position, maybe there is a lack of appreciation in your position for the physical self replicator, the actual source of life.

> not only is there no 'supernatural' - there is effectively not even 'intelligence' or 'life' or possibly 'consciousness'. Just the appearance of those things.

There is, we have the ability to learn to sense and act based on our rich environment and complex brains. Our emotions encode our current rewards and the prediction of future rewards. We learn the value function and the policy function that would allow us to continue to exist and self replicate. They form what we call 'consciousness' and 'intelligence'.
Thank you. I was wondering because I had a 2016 MBP and it did not play well with docks at all back then. On any level, due to 'Apple', not just with the monitors. I want to believe they've sorted out most issues now but have been wondering.
I did find IGPs struggle with configuration like my triple monitor setup. I definitely wouldn't buy a MBA to dock it as a main machine. Maybe keep a dock there for lightweight tasks that benefit from the extra real estate.

I used a Dell dock for years alongside my desktop, using 2 monitors to my laptop and 1 for my desktop. I'd like to get a TB3 dock and do that just as you are. And while unlikely at this point, given how much I like my Samsung, I may eventually have a Macbook Air. Which is not the best device but definitely a top tier throwaway easy-chair machine if not a little limited for the money, not having a 360 degree hinge.
I do the following: I never give my real phone number to anybody other than people I directly know. Everybody else gets my Google Voice number, which is set up to directly go into voicemail without ever ringing. As far as I can tell, I receive 2-3 robocalls a day, so GV just blackholes them for me. Every now and then someone leaves a voicemail, and I read that, but it's very rare that a robocall leaves a voicemail because Google call screener requires them to enter a number to do so.

Yet they only provide a 5 year warranty. I would expect a $600 desk lamp to have at a lifetime warranty.

And they couldn’t even be bothered to get the warranty details right: at the top of the page, it says parts and labor, but at the bottom it says parts only.
It may be better than humans on average, but is it safer than a sober person who is driving responsibly in a similarly priced vehicle? Anecdotally, most accidents I've seen have been caused by at least one driver doing some stupid shit. Based on my own personal experiences, I'm just not comfortable surrending control of my vehicle. Especially not when we could be comparing apples to oranges. Safety of a self driving system should be evaluated against currently available safety technologies like blind spot detection etc. If you're including older vehicles that don't have the best possible non-self driving technology in your data, you're making a comparison that is inherently biased in favor of self driving cars.

All that being said, I do think self driving is what we will inevitably arrive at...we just need to have a higher degree of confidence in it before it's widely used in my opinion.

Not sure you understood why Google was fined. Search placement is irrelevant in this context. This pertains to search results restricted to a third-party site, embedded on that site.

If you want to make a general argument about Search placement that is conditioned on plainly wrong assumptions (Google _never_ prioritizes organic search results based on buying Google Ads) then, sure, go right ahead.

VAX was designed in a time where it was common to write assembly by hand, and so programmer ergonomics was an important consideration. Instructions were introduced where today we would add a library function - this peaked with POLY [1] I think?

Nowadays ISAs are compiler targets and nothing more, so human-ergonomic instructions are hilariously quaint.

Here's the artist 6 years ago [1]. The Flickr has tons more photos from the same year (2013).

Assuming the article got his current age right, he was 16 when he started the model, and 19 when he started posting to Flickr (and amazing progress by then; most of the model was ready).

So I think it does qualify as a "kid". Maybe a more precise title would be "Artist started building a paper model of a Boeing jet when he was a teenager; took 9 years to finish", but I didn't feel deceived by the current title.

The motivation behind understanding what drives these kinds of extremists is to understand what about their view of the world drove them to start shooting people up, and then identify what led them to that point in their life and start addressing those problems such that other people don't end up in a similar position. A bit of a cat and mouse game in an abstract sense, but understanding and preventing future attacks by like-minded individuals requires understanding what leads someone to such a bad state in the first place.

This is, of course, in _addition_ to other counter-terrorism infrastructure like intelligence gathering, monitoring, security, response, etc. Many of those more well-known systems are intended to identify bad actors and prevent them from doing bad things; understanding bad actors can lead to more methods to prevent regular people from becoming bad actors in the first place.
Yeah, I missed that the parent was suggesting good pay and benefits. My point is that the consultancies generally pick one or the other, because otherwise they'd be priced out of the market - even for really good staff that are hard to find elsewhere.
