We often measure loudness using a unit called the decibel (named after Alexander Graham Bell).

Not really. Decibels themselves are unitless: we just have to use them because the magnitude of sound pressure levels varies across a real large range so it’s very useful to have a compressive scale.

Pedantry ahoy!

1. The unit of loudness is the phon. Loudness is not independent of frequency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phon

2. sound intensity is measured as a sound pressure level (SPL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure) in dB: re 20muPa in air, 1 muPa in water. It is a frequency independent measure, though there are perceptual weighting scales (a- and b-weightings are common) to normalize things for occupational exposure limits.

Sound intensity and sound loudness are related but not at all the same. Loudness is a percept, intensity is a physical measure of a system.

I can play a 100 kHz tone at extremely high sound pressure levels and you will never hear it. It’s not loud, to a human. It’s probably quite loud if you’re a bat.

That's right. In fact, the latter would be just as easy as 1) subtract 10% 2) double 3) and add 32, i.e., the exact conversion formula again.

In other words, (c - c/10) * 2 + 32 = 2c - 2c/10 + 32 = 9c/5 + 32.

The only difference between the refined approximation and your approximation is 31 vs. 32 in the last step. The rationale for choosing 31 is explained in the "Analysis" section of the blog post. To summarize, when we subtract 10% in the approximation method, we do not perform an exact division. Instead, we perform a floor division (discard the fractional part) for easier mental calculation. The floor division introduces an error that lies in the interval [0, 2). If we subtract 1 from the result, then the error lies in the interval [-1, 1). Therefore, in order to prevent the magnitude of error from exceeding 1 °F, we add 31 instead of 32 in the last step.

Also, I find subtracting 10% of smaller number from itself slightly easier than doing so with a larger number. That's why the subtraction step comes before the doubling step.

Two things puzzle me each time a public figure is shamed for draft dodging the Vietnam war:

1. In the end the guy didn't do less for the country that every women who "draft dodged" thanks to their sex. In those times of equality, I feel like this should be taken into account before shaming someone who basically just lost the dice roll.

2. The Vietnam war seems to be widely disliked by the left, yet Democrats are quick to forget their disapproval of the war when it comes to shaming Trump.

It’s the Sorites Paradox.

If it’s not fatal to make an exception for one person, is it fatal to make an exception for two? If it is, does that mean a team with one remote working exception can’t take on another? Does that fall afoul of reasonable accommodation rules? If so, what do they do? Is the accommodation that was previously workable (and therefore reasonable) now no longer workable?

I get your point, but I probably don’t think it’s quite as strong as you might think.

There is nothing wrong with cutting wires and soldering and for fans you don't even need any soldiering. Although if you were to solder, speed of all those brushless dc fans can be easily controlled via voltage. Meaning that dc-dc step down converter (costs less than $1) is usually enough to make a fan quiet or just putting it on a 5v rail instead of 12v, although that might make it too slow to be usable. Also PC fans vendors suck, they overprice fans like crazy, sort of similar how expensive audio equipment is overpriced for audiophiles. Just use fans from a decent non-PC fans vendor, like Sunon.

I wouldn't use rackmount cases at home though, they are not designed for low noise at all and fans are not the only problem. Noise from a bunch of vibrating HDDs is not as easily fixable as from fans, not in a rackmount case.

> But I have the luxury of not doing this for a living, and I'm very happy to be proved wrong by people who do.

I'm in a similar (but likely even less knowledgable) position; I'm having trouble following your logic, presumably because it's relying on terms and results I'm unfamiliar with.

> That means branch counting matters, which means there has to be some way for the universes to communicate the results of branch counting with each other. Otherwise there's no mechanism for probability to arise.

I don't know what branch counting is, but I don't see how the various universes need to communicate with each other. Observers in most of the universes will agree with us about the probabilities, as that's what the history of those universes has shown. In a small but nonzero number of them, however, everything will have happened the way that classical physics predicts and they will have never come up with quantum mechanical theory in the first place.

> Because otherwise you still have to explain how a split (or differential propagation or whatever you want to call it) in one location generates an entire universe instantaneously - i.e. faster than c - while preserving state that is beyond the event horizon of the current location.

I don't see a problem conceptually with envisioning each split like a stress fracture that propagates at the speed of light. As information can't travel faster than that (per relativity), there's no need to envision the two new worlds separating from each other faster than that anyway.

Reliable Credit Repair
My name is Clark and I needed capital for a business opportunity I had therefore I needed to fix my credit and I needed it real quick. My scores were 501 Trans Union and 517 Equifax on credit karma, the files contained inquiries, eviction, medical bills and utility charge offs and have no real trade lines. I was introduced to RANSOM WARECREDIT for help and what appealed to me was the fact that they do the job first and then get paid and that was true in my case as well. Twice fake credit repair imposters ripped me off but they (RANSOMWARECREDIT@GMAIL.COM, +1 954 416 0322) helped me. They deleted the eviction, inquiries and other bad items preventing me from been qualified for the loan and eventually raised my score to 760 and that was unbelievable. Thereafter, I qualified for the loan and I started my business, thanks to the RANSOM WARECREDIT.
Ahh fair enough. I should have spent more time understanding your rationale. I'll edit my original comment to reflect that.

Not larger vector registers, smaller numbers, so that you can fit more numbers in a vector register without having to make the vector register larger.

For CPU-bound algorithms, one would expect that bfloat16 in 512 bit vector registers would be about equal in speed to float32 in (hypothetical) 1024 bit vector registers.

Also, for algorithms that are memory-bandwidth bound, halving the size of your numbers will (about) halve memory pressure.
"I am pointing out that treating people differently damages teams."

Not really. Sing happy birthday quickly during a meeting for folks that enjoy it. Skip over for the folks that would really rather one didn't. Adjusting for a sickness or disability isn't any different.

Most of the time, it boils down to things like giving the person with crutches a little extra time to use the toilet because it takes more time. I don't really understand why this would be an issue for you since, if you had crutches, you'd be treated similarly.

The same as if you developed migraines and were able to work from home a few days a month. More often, however, migraines are likely to be covered by FMLA (in the us) and the person gets time off for a certain amount of days.

If you truly think this stuff is unfair, I urge you to talk to your elected officials and complain about non-able bodied folks getting some special treatment and I truly hope you don't become disabled in any way afterwards.

I remember that a little while after it first came out that Cambridge Analytica had abused Facebook data, an insider (from Facebook?) wrote a piece about how it was even worse before. That companies used to be able to siphon off much larger quantities of private data using APIs or bypassing various restrictions before Facebook restricted this further, and iirc that this was used by Obama's campaign team.

Looks like this isn't part of this documentary. Anyone recall this piece, and if anything more came of it?

> Either attendance at the office is vital to the job or isn't.

Not so. There's value to team cohesion in having a team physically together, but it's not outright fatal to permit remote working. That's why it's a reasonable accommodation.

> If you treat different members of your team differently you will annoy them, damage morale and damage your team.

I don't think so. Would you get resentful if a colleague took maternity leave?

I can't imagine a colleague reacting negatively to a clearly reasonable accommodation for a disability.

> If your paternity leave isn't comparable to your maternity leave that's not OK.

I'm not sure that's relevant, but sure, equal paternity leave isn't a bad idea.
1. Does using headphones damage our hearing? I am aware that using certain kinds of open earphones are associated with hearing loss but my understanding was that this had more to do with how high the volume needs to be to drown out the noise. Proper IEMs and noise cancelling headphones should definitely not suffer from that issue.

2. 50% potential is a bold claim, but even if that were true it may still be economically wise to stick with the 50% penalty considering how expensive it would be to have a large number of employees with their own offices.
Show me the law that says reasonable accommodations include things that apparently make the job impossible for other employees?

The next time you’re talking to someone, I want you to stop and think about what’s happening. Your brain has a thought. It translates that thought into a pattern of pressure waves. Then your lungs send air out of your body, but as you do that, you vibrate your vocal chords in just the right way and you move your mouth and tongue into just the right shapes that by the time the air leaves you, it’s embedded with a pattern of high- and low-pressure areas. The code in that air then spreads out to all the air in the vicinity, a little bit of which ends up in your friend’s ear, where it passes by their eardrum. When it does, it vibrates their eardrum in such a way as to pass on not only the code, but exactly where in the room it came from and the particular tone of voice it came with. The eardrum’s vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones and into a little sac of fluid, which then transmits the information into electrical impulses and sends them up the auditory nerve and into the brain, where the information is decoded. And all of that happens in an eighth of a second, without any effort from either of you.

Something quite intruiging - to me - about sound (and in particular music and speech) is that it is spread across time. At any one instant of frozen time, nothing in particular is happening with a sound - this is different to vision, where if you imagine freezing time, you get a still image. So the way sound is processed before it reaches the level of consciousness must need some kind of time buffer. So when, say, you are appreciating a drum pattern in a piece of music, your brain is processing the last few seconds of sound, noticing and highlighting the patterns and then presenting it to your consciousness as a kindof rhythmic artifact that you can appreciate and anticipate while it is still happening.

Of course not. Parental leave is offered to all employees right?

Nor could I. A clearly unreasonable one is not quite the same as a reasonable one is it?

> Not so. There's value to team cohesion in having a team physically together, but it's not outright fatal to permit remote working. That's why it's a reasonable accommodation.

We disagree. That is fine. But I doubt either of us will pursuade the other here so let's just leave this argument.

You’re boxing it out too tightly by considering just the App Store costs.

Apple and Google have basically built the entire modern smartphone industry.

You think it costs devs a lot now? What’s it look like if Samsung, LG, etc also all have app stores? Devs get quite a bit from targeting two.

And really it’s devs supporting these app stores. They could go and build apps for other operating systems in a show of revolt.

All those games could go to Epic or Steam?

Dirty tricks. The dirty trick is the same old: society programs people to make money. Not live their life in an egalitarian way.

Don’t do for them if it doesn’t work for you. No dev is obligated to build in their sandbox.
