Exactly, what I'm trying to explain (although it's not easy as it's not very intuitive), is that we get more interesting sounds by clipping a signal's peaks to square because it is identical to _adding_ lots of different frequencies to the same sound in a way that their cancelling each other out would be represented as a square in digital audio, because of lack of detailed sampling at that level. The actual signal does not just flat stop at the square peak, the peaks get more signals in different frequencies added to them at playback, so they sound richer. You send a square to the speaker, the speaker isn't doing square, it pulsates in a sinusoidal fashion, nothing is fast or solid enough to produce flat square. Maybe you can find these harmonics in a factory with steel equipment, but they will still be pulsating at very high frequencies, which is why these "real" sounds are so much richer than a speaker.

The inference-based methods in AI qre more likely to he of the "probabilistic graphical models" variety (there are already marriages of Bayesian and Deep Learning techniques), and less likely to be of the "first order predicate calculus" variety. We humans don't have a particularly strong logical inference engine either - unless properly trained, people make the silliest logical mistakes and arrive at wrong conclusions all the time.
There is the solution of taking away power from the government to fix this. You would need to limit the punishment of people to be the same as corporations. For example, if a corporation commits negligence that kills people and gets fined 2% of its income, then the penalty for negligent homicide becomes a 2% yearly income with no jail time.

The problem is that right now the government will jail an individual and fine them many years worth of income but will not punish a corporation even a 1/100th of the penalty. Equalize that can be done by either granting or removing power from the government.
I think the idea is that declarative statements use "equals" like math uses equals, not as assignment. If you say x = 1 and then later say x = 2, that is a contradiction. Usually if you evaluate each statement in order from top to bottom, that is procedural programming. And if you don't do that, it's hard to assign multiple values to one variable because you need a way for the compiler to know when the variable has each value.

Felix Dennis in his book has a quote related to committing to becoming rich

The people who suffer most are the ones closest to you

It's meant for family and friends

It also applies to an extent to your work colleagues

If you pursue excellence, people around you are going to get pulled along with you

Some of them will think you are a dick or a jerk or an asshole

You can't be nice to everyone

Even if you are, a fraction of people will still think you're a dick

Now take that same person and give them success

People suddenly have TWO reasons to think they are a dick

A) They are more focused than you

B) They are more successful than you

*

I don't ever see people complaining about someone they are more successful than, but almost always about people who did better than them
Let’s say I have a big repo full of lisp. I want a program that uses some subset of this lisp. Similarly to if I had a big repo full of C programs and libraries and I wanted to build one of those programs (statically linking all the libraries it used). In CL, it is annoying and tricky to go from those files to an executable I can deploy. Typically you’d write some script to (use ASDF to) compile/load your various files and then dump the image specifying a binary. It’s a bit messy and not very portable.

A lot of retailers and manufacturers do this. It's not so much that the products are inferior, just different. A lot of times it's tricking you into thinking you're getting something you're not, occasionally it's to offer a better exclusive version.

Sometimes it's a TV with a lower spec panel or limited I/O, other times it'll be something like a Laptop with a smaller harddrive and less ram to drive the price point down.

It can go the other direction too, where the spec is bumped. Roku makes versions of their Streaming Box that are only available at Walmart. They're not inferior, they're just configurations you can't get elsewhere. The Express+ is a Walmart only version of their crappiest STB with their premium remote, because the basic remote sucks.

This happens a lot at places that do price matching because it's then impossible to say you found a product elsewhere because it literally is only sold in their store.

Sure, but there were hints of that during the semi and roadster unveiling too. 200KWh in a car smaller than a 3? Almost 1 MWh in a semi costing less than 200k?

The CT was always going to be built at either NV or a new factory. All new factories are doing battery production. If there's a hint there, it is a really weak one.

Having said that, I do think the CT will make it in 2022 and maybe we'll even see the lower trim versions in volume production by 2023. That would still be pretty impressive.

I think it’s the multiplication of the two waveforms (aka mixing). The spectrums are convolved. It’s a common technique. Square waves are a fun case to explore here because you might start finding cases where something you might just consider 180 degree phase jumps (PSK) actually effect the magnitude spectrum (square wave). They don’t teach you that in school!
It was in use, both in software and in the world at large (especially the intelligence community). I suppose how it depends how you define "common" but "people use the term in official announcements and assume everyone knows what they mean" seems common enough to me.

SBD and TTI each have various tiers of tool offerings, and while they may share outward physical design aspects, they are pretty clearly stratified when it comes to the parts inside. Using B&D vs DeWalt as the example here, you'll typically find the following on the DeWalt part over something that might look very similar from B&D:

* Better quality housing materials (better grade plastics, more glass fiber reinforcement, etc)

* Better motor (higher power, more efficient)

* Upgraded electronics (soft-start, closed-loop speed control, etc)

* Higher quality metal bits (better/more expensive designs, better quality materials, better machining)

Whether or not these differences are worth the cost delta for each tool and for each tool user is up to the user. Check through some tool teardowns and you'll see what's happening here. Typically it's not the exact same tool from the same factory line with a new label.
There are some legitimate reasons for this. Perhaps you were ordering high-volume items that had low inventory, and it was unclear when they populated the shipping estimate for you whether you'd be getting items currently in stock, or waiting on Amazon to first receive a shipment.

Additionally, there is little reason to commit to a delivery timeline that they cannot commit to. Prime 2-day delivery is not actually a guarantee, as far as I understand it (and in some places it is not 2-day, e.g. Hawaii, from what I've heard), but it is a much firmer commitment, because Prime members are paying a fee for improved service. Regardless of whether Prime delivery is guaranteed, Amazon has optimized much of its logistics chain around <=2-day delivery. So you may be reaping some benefits from that.

Finally, Amazon is almost definitely using the cheapest possible shipping option (unless you are opting to pay more for improved options). Just because the rate paid is low does not mean that carriers will purposefully slow down. Once those items are picked, the cheapest thing to do is to move them quickly. Regardless of shipping option, that package still incurs a cost everywhere it sits, and every time it moves. So it will be routed as efficiently as it can to you. Holding it is just accruing liability (more options for loss or damage). If you happen to be near the DC, or near to the shipping carrier's hub, it's likely you will get stuff very quickly, even if it is estimated at longer.

You may be seeing the worst-case estimate for cross-country shipment, but benefit from one or several of the things above.

Well, no. In any finite range of frequencies there are infinitely more harmonics that are in a noise signal than are in a square wave. In the audible frequency and dynamic ranges, you realistically can’t perceive more than maybe 7 harmonics in a square wave and it sounds very different than a noise signal.

Google, Facebook, Whatsapp (part of Facebook now), Amazon are all basically spy companies

They are 'America's Edge'

Let's consider the narrative ->

That one corner of the world (Silicon Valley) is so good at technology that it produces nearly ALL of the world dominating technology companies

*

Let's consider another narrative ->

While most countries were asleep at the wheel, the US (or some group of people in the US) figured out that the next wave of imperialism would be

- technology
- data
- surveillance

And they devoted all their resources to making sure these 'big data collection and surveillance companies' would be American companies

*

If you remember the example of the spy hardware company in Switzerland that turned out to be owned by the CIA

If you remember how US tried to fund a social network app in Cuba but failed to get traction

Then does it not make sense that all the things we think are 'accidents' are perfectly reasonable when considered as a collection of dots that link together

Cisco hardware = backdoors

Intel chips - backdoors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderna

- They've been around almost 10 years but have never had a drug make it to Phase 3 let alone gain FDA approval.

- No company has ever created an mRNA virus for use in humans that was FDA approved.

- Long history of secrecy and not publishing peer-reviewed results.

- They started work on this vaccine in January, had it ready to start Phase 1 in March, and now are releasing (partial, non-peer reviewed) results showing damn near a 100% effectiveness in creating neutralizing antibodies with minimal mild side effects.

- Combine all that with the timing of their financing and relationship between their board and the Trump admin.

China has changed enormously in the last 15-20 years, especially in intellectual property enforcement. China is one of the most active venues in the world for IP enforcement now. They've created an IP regime out of nothing, established specialized courts that deal only with IP, and now try hundreds of thousands of cases a year.

Yet all of this seems completely unknown in the West, outside of the legal/business community that actually engages with the Chinese IP system. The same comments about there being no IP enforcement in China are made over and over again, completely disregarding the massive changes that have occurred.
The book "The United States of Walmart" goes into how Walmart pressures manufacturers to lower price points, margins, outsource, etc to meet the price Walmart wants to sell their products at. They have done significant damage to once reputable brands like Levis and Huffy in the interest of having that premium brand in their stores.

For much of the 90s and early 2000s offshoring of manufacturing in the US was primarily driven my Walmart demanding lower per unit prices. Manufacturers had little choice but to comply since not being in Walmart meant losing out on a majority of the market.

Many many years ago, as my little sister was getting into rock and roll, I mentioned my theory that one reason American teenagers gravitate towards it, is that the sound of a distorted guitar resembles the sound of an engine, and that cars symbolize freedom and coming-of-age in our society.
