Can this help learning languages, recognising/memorising sounds?

Would it be helpful with the accent, as babies till young age create frequency statistic of sounds and that is the reason why it sounds so strange when we speaking non native language?

No please. Let's not take 1 step forward and 10 steps back. Software engineer culture is already light-years ahead of pretty much every medium in every regard ranging from inclusivity to simple fun factors.

Certifications is meaningless corporate propaganda and we should eliminate it completely unless it's free and public.
Would I be right in thinking that replacing parts of a solar plant could be done without a huge impact on production? Eg replacing a reactor means it’s offline. Replacing all the panels means a percentage of the plant is offline at a given time.
First of all, there are those who asked for independence but that is definitely not the majority.

Secondly, if we are looking at history, why would we look at USSR instead of the history of China? There is never a regime change until a civil war broke out, and there is always blood involved.
But compared to other types of clothes I find that they last a long time. I buy a new pair every year from Nudie Jeans for $140 and they last around four years (with the included free repairs). And when they are worn out you get 20% discount on new ones if you hand in your old pair.
As much as I distrust these devices, the term “record” here implies the cloud-based transmission thing it does after hearing the wakeword.

It “records” all sound 24/7 to listen for the wakeword(s), naturally. It is just then discarded if one is not detected.

I understand they just added different wakewords (like smoke alarm sounds). I do not think it was streaming audio offsite 24/7, which is what this headline implies.

Headline is a bit misleading.
Considering Trump has said things like "slow down the testing" but at the same time bragging about how the US does more tests than anywhere else in the world, it's hard to say. Maybe allowing tests with weeks of delay means they can test more, or at least inflate the numbers? Again, incentives are in the wrong place.
Yeah. He should develop his feelings, and just take revenge on those who engage in hostilities against him thanks to such sociopathic hate speech being allowed and defended. That is totally within the freedoms he has.

...

Good god...

Seen from the rest of the developed world, such delirious propositions as the ones you (apparently) American conservatives make are really beyond explanation.

Whats even worse is that you have no freaking idea that such hate speech and hateful environment never stays in a state of 'only words'. Go Google anti semitic hate crime statistics.
> What are the consequences of this?

His Twitter account would briefly get more clicks than Trump's, and a swarm of congress-critters would fight each other for the privilege of having him hauled in front of their panel for a grueling, multi-hour session of righteous posturing, all televised live. Then the late night shows would create condensed, only slightly exaggerated but far more entertaining versions of their performance. By day four, everybody would have moved on to the next outrage du jour.

Have you read the written statement? He says that it's not commodity information like the height of a building or the the current time.

Just like Forbes, they employed a team of fact-checkers to find and generate estimates. Knowing the exact net worth of a celebrity isn't just a fact that someone can determine and so for Google to steal that information, which is the result of research and scrutiny is wrong.

Think of Europe. The EU has just realized that by letting US runs internet for itself is costing it money and its technological future.

I don't understand how we would stop other countries from building one by saying the US wouldn't build any more. It seems more likely that someplace like Israel would have still developed one in secret and then used it for widespread conquest.
Some things are facts, like the density of steel or the list of historical US presidents. But other things aren't facts, and where something isn't a fact but instead is implicit knowledge derived from a set of both data and assumptions (like a model or an algorithm) Google should absolutely not be taking that data and treating it as their own. Given the PDF includes this quote "I decided to build a company that attempted to make educated guesses based on the sourcing of a full-time research team." I think we can assume that the data on CelebrityNetWorth wasn't "facts".

However, even if CelebrityNetWorth's data were facts, I don't believe Google should be able allowed to replicate the work that people have put in to building a website that lists facts. Google could, and eventually probably will, replace every fact based website with a sidebar in their results page. People can't compete with that. That's using Google's (de facto) search results monopoly to stop people searching the web. That's making the web worse. That's stifling innovation. I might be able to dream up some way of using CelebrityNetWorth data to improve the world (somehow...), and Google would be stopping that.

The engineers who work at Google need to stop ruining the web by trying to turn it in to their own walled garden.
It's of course a click-bait title, while some of the classical aspects of light refraction can't be applied here it is for sure within the normal treatment of light physics (as is even stated in the article). Still, cool engineering and light hacking!
Why would you keep running the freezer when the ambient temp is freezing?
Not exactly the same thing, but at least where I live, going shirtless is a pretty common way for athletic men to show that off. Obviously not in the office, but it's very socially acceptable to jog, play basketball, sit on a park bench, or grill shirtless. People then build the rest of an outfit/look around that as a core component. There's a certain amount of explicit catering to that in a section of men's fashion too, judging by their model shoots.
The real answer is the same as it has always been: libre software.

Funny how same topic comes up every time some new issue pops up but we've had the answer nailed in the 90s.

If you want software you can trust no amount of oaths, certificates and overseer bodies will ever be enough. It's only possible to trust fully transparent software.
> Software engineers are accountable to their bosses before their users, no matter how high minded we like to pretend to be.

Isn't that what a hipppocratic oath would solve. They'd be accountable to the oath before their bosses, and that would give them reasonable grounds to refuse unethical work.

I don't think this should matter though? In theory the longer amount of time it would take to cool down would be countered by the length of time the compressor needs to run to cool it down. Unless you factor in some minimum amount of time the compressor runs for, which probably isn't too unreasonable.
It was not a belief - the existing establishment in US did know that left wing movements were dangerous to itself - just like how aristocracy saw that Enlightenment ideas and the subsequent revolution were dangerous to themselves during 18th century France. That would have been just censorship if they attempted to repress the opposition in such cases.

The situation of legitimate exclusion of certain things from freedom of speech follows not such specific self-interest, but fundamental principles which made human civilization come to where it is today. They are mostly enshrined in Human Rights Declaration. It is the most legitimate and simple document of principles which mankind was able to conceive, and it remains the basis of our modern civilization.

Pull its principles out from the society, you will be amazed how fast youll end up with a nuclear war with no aftermath for a sane civilization.

This is an extremely interesting question, both from a scientific and a practical point of view, but the article doesn't really answer it at all.

He starts by measuring the temperature in the freezer, but then puts a realistic amount of food in it and doesn't want to let the food go bad. So he makes an extrapolation from the warming between -18 and -11, but immediately points out (fairly) that the extrapolation is not really valid. Then he answers a completely different question - how much cold is lost when you open the door. The answer to that is also quite dubious and of limited applicability.

The experiment I would like to see is this: fill a freezer (or a couple of different types of freezer) X% (where X could be 50, 80, 100) with a mix of different frozen foods, including ice cream, meat, vegetables, cooked meals, bread. Turn the power off. Every day, open the freezer briefly, long enough to retrieve some of your samples, maybe some from the top/front and some from the bottom/back. Then tell us, for a few types of food and location in the freezer, what day did the food thaw enough that you wouldn't want to refreeze it? What day did the food become less than perfect if consumed immediately? What day did the food become inedible?

People can put up with different levels of yickiness so you'd want descriptions more than numbers here.
With that logic, Patreon would have to keep helping Nazis propagate their ideology back in 1930s.

Actually, there are Nazis today. And they are not so far away from what Owen Benjamin represents.

Bell Labs was not just about telco stuff, it was quite a revolutionary R&D unit in many ways. Seems to me a lot of people who worked there either did - or could have - worked at MIT, Stanford, Berkley, etc.

A read of the Wikipedia page [1] shows just how varied the research there was, but I'm not sure it's up there today so perhaps it's slipped from our minds.

One interesting thing I found out about the place is that I believe some university faculties have tried to model their research buildings on the physical layout of Bell Labs: everybody gets an office, but common areas are lengthy corridors away, meaning there is a good chance of serendipity and meeting colleagues when you're not heads-down. I have a hazy recollection this is how MIT built one of their newer buildings, but can't find a source for it now.

And yes, you're right, the kit looks beautiful.

Steady on, that is a prediction for a project where data is light. The most comparable experience Australia has to this stuff is the Basslink which broke in 2015-16 and triggered a major energy crisis in Tasmania. And I think technically means that 50% of Australia's major undersea cables have been involved in an energy crisis.

This is a major project. It is not yet clear it will be delivered on time and on budget. It is very a very exciting project nonetheless.
Honestly, you have this problem because you put up with it, or are "forced" to use certain software. Why is it everytime I venture into Python, interesting language aside, there are always multitudes of dependency problems even tied to the OS? People put up with it. Choosing quality over fast-food is a choice. Languages such as golang has largely solved much of this while still being pretty portable, and devs are encouraged to minimize deps.

Of course fast-food is tempting and may taste good, but after a while of abstention, this fades away. But it's a choice, and one might miss some opportunities.
Bwahhahahahhahaha

Geez, there certainly were more women in tech at that time.
I've told upper management directly, in front of their employees, that they're breaking the law. That was a fun day; my director directly told me to not be a trouble-maker and to knock it off if I wanted to keep my job. Ultimately, upper management elected to follow federal law, and I was dismissed for no reason a year later.

It wasn't about whether or not I got to keep my job; upper management was effectively disenfranchising other employees with their policy. Who cares about my job if it must come at the expense of my team's jobs?

Moreover, managers aren't somehow better people than engineers. They don't get to be less moral just because they have less to do.
"how do we get people to help themselves get out of the path to war?"

A good start would be to learn the facts. US-Japanese history didn't begin with Pearl Harbour. Edo-Japan was minding its own business before the Black Ships arrived. How many Americans know about the atrocities the US committed in the Philippines? The Japanese saw what was heading their way from the US and Europe.
The problem here is that 'conservatives' in the US have been conditioned to blame all of societies ills on 'progressives'. It's a culture war. To pivot, you need to convince that China is the greatest threat and that the 'progressives' are in bed with them. With 11 weeks to go and no groundwork having been done already, it's unlikely this strategy will stick at all.

When it comes to technology, The UK loves selling their own businesses rather than selling goods and growing into large tech companies these days. Just look at Imagination Technologies which was sold to a chinese private equity firm [0] and Apple is now producing their own graphics chips. Brexit just made the price tag cheaper for them and Softbank.

ARM is beyond saving at this point when NVIDIA and other companies may be bidding for it. What a lost opportunity for the state of UK technology companies even when they keep comparing it to the crown jewels being sold off. [1]

> Imagine a software engineer who has been asked to place a backdoor in some software.

I imagine such an engineer just gets a development plan and doesn't get to see the bigger picture, implying the backdoor. It might only get enabled on integration into a larger codebase, and nobody out of the loop will be able to extrapolate its existence from what they get to know for sure.

Hence I completely agree with the argument of shifting responsibility to the developers. Seems like MS is selling more of that eyewash again.

The topology one I mentioned is from Jack Nathan.

I also liked the lectures on convex optimization by Stephen Boyd a lot.

Steve Brunton on Fourier analysis.

It's all very subjective of course. Andrew Ng would be mentioned by most and I've watch the series as well, but I find that suddenly I'm intrigued by a mathematical field via some connection I didn't make before.

For example, I experiment with auto-encoders, then I read some papers on using the Wasserstein distance as a metric. Subsequently, I'm watching clips and lectures on optimal transport.

The nice thing about math is that it's so self-motivating to me. The more I learn, the more I want to know. I don't know, maybe it's a type of addiction.

This is a very rosy presentation of westerners that I'd go so far as to say is a lie that western people tell themselves. Where is the protection for critics of progressivism when they lose their jobs in the US for example? Where is the outcry when Europeans advocating collecting racial information during crimes get blanketly labeled racist for something that's standard practice across the world? The west has rapidly been devolving into authoritarianism as well, it's simply social authoritarianism rather than government authoritarianism.

I think I recall reading that around that time (remember this is 2003) Linus was either against -Werror or against spending effort eliminate warnings. The reason being that GCC had a few false positives, and the effort of making Linux kernel build with these spurious errors was not worth the risk of breaking code that likely worked ok.

However I can't find anything where this is directly said, all I can find is a collection of Linus' early 00s emails on the subject of GCC which includes a LOT of reference to said warnings: https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/gcc.html
If it's moral for those workers in China to take employment working on Apple products, I don't see why it's immoral for Apple to make the deals that create that employment. So no, I don't really see a difference.

Business that especially benefits the Chinese government in particular, or that supports their oppressive activities, sure I can see that. I think Google took a principled moral stance in refusing to provide search services in China when it was clear those services would have to enable surveillance. I don't think they did anything wrong having their Pixel phones manufactured in China.

For context my wife in mainland Chinese, though now a British citizen, we go there regularly and have family there. I spend money in China, and don't think there's anything wrong with myself, businesses, or 'corporations' doing so either whatever we think of the CCP. So this sort of selective virtue posturing really rubs me up the wrong way.
