Clipping individual parts doesn't sound the same as clipping in mastering. If you clip a single harmonic tone (in the musical sense, i.e. a fundamental + partials at integer multiples of its frequency) you only get harmonic distortion. All new partials generated are still integer multiple of the fundamental. The timbre changes but it doesn't sound dissonant.

When you clip a more complex waveform, you can generate new partials with non-integer multiples of the fundamental frequencies, which sound dissonant. If it's simple enough (e.g. a guitar chord), the dissonance will be small enough that it still sounds musical, but if you clip something complex (e.g. an entire mixed-down track), it will just sound like noise.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodulation

Clipping of individual parts is integral to RATM's music, but I don't think clipping of the whole thing at once is. See their entries in the Dynamic Range Database:

http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=rage+against+t...

I haven't actually heard the SACD release of Evil Empire, but with those numbers I'd be surprised if it was noticeably clipped in mastering. (Note that vinyl mastering can increase the DR measurement without audible changes in sound, see: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Myths_(Vinyl)#Eff... , so I'm much less confident about the vinyl releases with similar numbers.)
My spouse's father is a well known (Grammy nominated) mastering engineer.

He hated the loudness wars. It was, often times, bands and labels insisting that the albums be "louder" than whatever other comparable album they were trying to emulate, and thus it just escalated with no real sense until it just got ridiculous.
As a person studying music production, this can't be done easily without having to mix and then master again. Certainly there could be varying edits of a track, though this is already common practice. The music you hear o the radio, or even Spotify, will usually be mastered differently than what you'll hear on a CD or DVD

We'll have to agree to disagree, because that is more or less the justification for every system that devolves from meritocracy into capture by a few trusted by connections and back scratching, be it the aerospace partnerships between the military and trusted contractors that exclude less expensive alternatives, the NSA and CIA becoming composed of family members that the agency already believes it has vetted, the Hapsburg dynasty, or the Trump administration.

> I'm curious why BNF was chosen vs EBNF. I'm new to parsers and grammar. Isn't EBNF easier/simpler to write complex rules?

I can't speak to the specific reasons the OP chose, but I can speak to generalities.

Generally speaking, every parser engine out there that supports EBNF supports different extensions of EBNF [+]. They aren't portable from one to another, and that can lock you in. So if you get frustrated with the engine at some point and want to ditch it, it becomes harder to.

BNF does make it harder to write complex rules, but if your goal is a self-hosted compiler, like this one appears to be, you might use BNF for the host compiler, and then choose something more expressive now you can use the language you've built.

There are tradeoffs in everything. BNF tends to be faster, and more portable with more documentation. EBNF handles more complex cases, but you might have to learn one specific tool rather than a standard you can use everywhere.

[+] There is an EBNF standard. However, parser/lexer engines still extend it in their own incompatible ways. ISO tried to standardise it, and just ended up adding to the chaos, and now even they don't recommend their own.
I made similar chess engine using FastText: https://github.com/thomasahle/fastchess

It is surprising to me that you can predict optimal/strong engine moves with 27% accuracy using a completely trivial linear model, that is by a single matrix multiplication.

I wonder how well it would compete with this GPT-2 engine.

Re: anything w/ security (esp how it works), if you don't know ASK. ASK. ASK.

PLEASE ASK.

Security is incredibly complex and minor/subtle mistakes can destroy companies and other potentially catastrophic consequences (especially to your employment.) If you're not sure about something, ASK. End-users are bad enough when it comes to security, but engineers should always feel empowered to "make sure" about all matters of security, large or small.

Obviously it's best to to be familiar with best practices, but if you're not a security "expert" and you're unclear about something, ASK.

There no dumb questions in security, just dumb practices. The dumbest thing of all is not asking your question because you think it's "obvious."

tl;dr: ASK!

They rolled it back for many reasons, but that was a big one.
The report[1] (which is trivial to find) has a section on their estimation methodology and includes reasons why it is conservative (section 2.3):

Many species were excluded from estimates because there
is insufficient information on their abundance. The largest omission is the entire NSW bat fauna (37 species), for which no information on density could be found.

Many small mammals in semi-arid and arid regions exhibit large fluctuations
in density depending on
the prevailing weather. For example, historical accounts of the long-haired or plague rat (Rattus villosissimus) suggest that densities well in excess of 1000 animals per hectare can be attained after years of good rain31, with the species virtually disappearing again during drought. For such eruptive species, only the low-density population estimates were used.

The densities of several common species, such as the brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii), agile antechinus
(A. agilis), yellow-footed antechinus (A. flavipes) and brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) have been measured in several studies, with most yielding low to moderate densities but small numbers
of studies yielding very high estimates. To reduce bias arising from these rare high values, means for each species were first calculated as log- transformed densities and then back-transformed to produce normal values. This method was used also by Cogger et al.

As noted, the usually lower densities obtained from studies carried out in the tablelands, western slopes and plains were used in preference to the higher estimates obtained in surveys further east. my note: these bushfires are in the East, so the higher estimates would be more appropriate here

Several species were omitted from consideration due
to uncertainty about how vegetation clearing would affect them.

This was particularly a problem for castles vs. the progress of artillery, because those were supposed to have a rather long lifetime.

I don’t really want to pay a subscription fee to self host stuff, but I especially don’t want to be pushed to pay for something that was already free and open source. (I certainly do so voluntarily. Krita comes to mind.) Jellyfin lacks many of the native apps, but at least I don’t feel like I’m being pushed into someone’s annoying monetization scheme.

I don’t trust an ORM to automatically reverse a database (or generate a database from POCO types) without at least some configuration - otherwise it can not determine (for example) if two tables, where one’s schema is a subset of another, are meant to be subclasses or not.

But anyway - this system feels like when we use T4 to generate types as part of the build process, but more tightly integrated. I wonder if the same could be done for C# using a Roslyn add-in.
There are. Bose hardware (both the QC35II and SoundSport headset I've tried) handle this beautifully. They've also had audio sharing between multiple headsets working for years, which my partner and I have used numerous times while traveling.

Controversial indeed ;)

If we were going to create a Lingua Franca for such a purpose from scratch, it would probably look very little like C. It would probably look like a much reduced subset of Some compiler IR, or Haskell. We would want something that is typesafe and lowers trivially to an AST. As the barest of table stakes, a language with any undefined or implementation defined behavior whatsoever is obviously unsuitable for this purpose. After all, we need a wide variety of compilers to be able to easily generate their own IR from it, and for them all to guarantee exactly the same behavior when they do. C seems close to the worst choice possible.

Edit: Haha, I realized I invented WASM again. This happens frequently...

Cars represent freedom. I can get in my car and go where I want, when I want -- especially helpful with 3 school-age children. Mass transit is important in cities, but lots of Americans, probably most, live where cars are needed to get around. They rightly view anti-car advocates are people trying to take away their freedom and herd them onto mass transit.
There's now doubt that these tests serve as some kind of "a" filter.

The question is, whether they serve as a particularly good filter.
While the website doesn't directly state it, the entire purpose of the Comma hardware is to run the OpenPilot self-driving software (or "driver assistance" software, whatever you want to call it). Sure, you can run other software with it, but it works really well with the software that has already been written for it and is available on the same website.

The FAQ clears some of this up (https://comma.ai/faq), but I agree with the idea that it is purposefully obtuse to keep regulators off their back.
cool thanks!

Does this imply that the points a pretty far away from each other to measure an effect from such a large imf? If so, I’m curious as to the equipment that would enable such a measurement. This is A wholly different ball game than measuring ground currents across a pcb.
The author did say convenient, not fast.

If you don't want the inefficiencies of seq, bash has:

Sure, in a quest of productivity, I should also use Vagrant and Packer to create docker images with a development environment so that I can run Serverless troubleshooting containers on all my machines.

These scripts will surely help me triple the performance of my bash one liners.

I’ve heard Eclipse has good shell completion and support for oh-my-zsh too.
If you take a dynamic piece of music and aggressively compress it will create a weird pulse like effect. If you add compression/limiting to each individual track tastefully you can increase the overall volume without it being noticable.
Jellyfin also functions as a dlna media server so might be enough to get the job done (depending on what you're using it for). I use Jellyfin dlna with my Samsung TV to stream OTA, iptv, ipcams, movies and recorded TV. I have a bunch of other devices in the house that can access it this way as well.

I feel like the Boeing 737 MAX situation is a clear demonstration that this isn’t really the case, especially in the realm of safety regulations.
If this was true the iPhone would have made negligible inroads in the markets where those products were available. Instead it was a massive success immediately in every market where it was offered. I’m sure it had many flaws but it was enough better where it mattered to dominate the competition.
I would fly on a southwest 737 MAX as-is tomorrow. Southwest has really good pilots, for awhile they primarily hired ex-military pilot and I think they still have a preference for ex-military pilots. I don't think the MCAS system is a danger on a plane piloted by ex-military.
Doesn't match mine either. Here in Japan (at least in Tokyo) it's uncommon to see wired headphones. Most are random wireless headphones, I would estimate 20-40% only being AirPods.
Quite interesting to hear this, it's very much the same observations while working with some customers, Airflow is a very mature and an amazing tool, but it does not have a good state/artifacts management, which leaves the users tweaking around, scheduling is centralised, and is not designed for ML workflows, i.e. hyperparams tuning, distributed runs, ... the kubernetes support is also quite limited.

Polyaxon[0] took a similar approach to FLyte, i.e. for authoring specifications: strongly typed system in protobuf + intuitive yaml specification + sdks in Python/golang/java/... It also treats operations (tasks in Flyte) as first class citizens and allows to run them in a serverless way. Users can choose to register repetitive operations as components and share them with a description and a typed inputs/outputs.

nope, all of the vacum tubes would be working as designed. not a hardware problem, a system design problem.

thus the invention of a discipline called 'systems engineering'..

i would say in 100% of engineering development, the design is done as a system, and specific requirements are allocated to design elements (like MCAS software). Each of these elements is tested against the requirements.

aeronautical engineering is a very specific skill. so is aircraft controls. so is airworthiness. a software engineer is an expert in software, not these other disciplines.
Of all the things I am concerned about for my 3 school aged children its them getting hit by a car. It makes it so I am afraid to let them go anywhere without me or another adult. It represses freedom in a way no other technology has.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The quality of the sound system in the car is possibly secondary to the amount/quality of sound deadening in the car. Road noise is a nasty thing unless there is a lot of well engineered sound deadening material and acoustic design.

Once that's taken care of, then the audio can be appreciated. When I last owned a car, it was an enormous Lexus. The audio experience was sublime just with the premium factory system. But with the audio off, the cocoon was still so much better than what I've experienced in "regular" cars.

Unless you're in a Rolls Royce or Maybach while driving, I seriously doubt you'll tell the difference between FLAC and MP3. There's just too much external interference to compete with the subtleties that a high end audio signal can offer compared to a more typical system.

> The adversary has the ability to put backdoors in your hardware so you can't trust it to give you truly random bits at all.

This makes zero sense. You trust your processor/chipset/mobo enough to do your bidding and not leak the sensitive plaintext data your app is processing.

But you don’t trust that hardware enough to give you entropy via RDRAND?

If your adversary is someone who can undetectably compromise your hardware you’ve already lost.
