How do you propose to light it? They need energy to grow, and it needs to be done in such a way that your overall cost is cheaper that sunlight (which on a bright day provides roughly 1kW per square meter in energy).

This is what I've been working on with RISC-V, and you have no idea how much resistance I get when I try to fix the problems relating to calling conventions, inline assembly and system calls.

I don't want to have to explain what I'm doing from the beginning every time I have a complex question about how to make a function call from inline assembly. It has really turned me off from stackoverflow as a whole. Sorry for the rant.

I think your project is awesome, and really shows that we can improve the base upon which everything rests.

This comment is technically incorrect.

Noise-cancelling headphones work the way OP described, and are limited to working in a cavity which is smaller than the wavelength.

There are predictive noise cancelling systems too. These are commonly built into industrial equipment. You might, for example, have a fan or motor which spins at 5000 RPMs, and what do you know, it has a consistent noise profile on each of those rounds. If you cancel that noise profile, you do pretty well. These systems both reduce noise and extend equipment life by reducing vibration. They also work to higher frequencies (in part because speed-of-sound in metals is > 10x that in air, and what matters is wavelength more than frequency).

There are ones which are open-loop used in HVAC systems. If I have a pipe, I can record sound on one end, and play a cancelling waveform on the other end, with an appropriate delay. I haven't followed the field, and when I looked, these were mostly expensive prototype systems (I'm not sure if they ever made it into mainstream use), but they did work. They needed to be calibrated for each HVAC, which made them impractical for most real-world applications.

There are all sorts of ways to do active noise cancellation. Many of these could be implemented on airplanes. Most of these techniques were implemented decades ago, when computation was a lot more expensive. A simple feedback loop is a few opamps, capacitors, and inductors, so pretty cheap to toss into headphones with 1990's-era technology. One could do a lot more with teraflops....

Declining birthrates are not equal across all demographics. I believe that because liberal and secular have the lowest birthrates it means the future of the world is religious and conservative, no?

This means generally tolerance and science literacy could decline. That worries me.
The libertarian leaning policies of the USA have already started to create a low birth rate. The first affected generation doesn't have time to realize that they will be worse off than their parents, and so has 2-3 children without realizing that they will be unable to afford to educate or provide healthcare.

Those children then grow up seeing the hardships and stress of their parents, who complain about how expensive they were and now they won't be able to retire and decide to either wait for things to get better before having children or not to have any at all.

Then the elder statesmen complain about low birth rates.

Until the United States creates policies so that someone who works 40 hours a week, regardless of the job, will be able to retire and afford healthcare, only the top 10% of earners ($150k+) and the extreme poor (medicaid, food stamps, subsidized housing) will have more than 1 child.

An insult repeated to the point of cliche in this context which I suspect isn't normally personally meant, but nevertheless seems to deny the counter-arguer the abilities of imagination and wonder, and also presumes ("arrogantly"?) they haven't considered the known numbers first before coming to their conclusion that either there is little hope of communication or we don't know enough to decide.

Very interesting article. The majority of it discusses the tension that arises when using race-based adjustments in care settings, and it felt like a “darned if you do, darned if you don’t” situation.

However the last two paragraphs offer a potential way forward: use more complete data inputs to accurately reflect potential differences instead of just ham fisted race adjustment multiplier. Data alone will never take the place of in-person diagnosis, but at least it offers an improvement over the current system. We will always need to be constantly trying to improve here.
Well aren't you sweet! Cheers!

I'm not sure it would be wise to take people's money. I've burned a lot of investor money in my career as a computer programmer and I've gotten to the point where I'm reluctant to do it again. Not to mention that there's no good reason to suspect I've got what it takes as a founder. (And I've got no team and few connections, so...)

In any event, FWIW, I have a plan for bootstrapping: starting with toys and kits, then moving into certain niche applications (such as drone swarms to collect and deliver water to contain and extinguish wildfires) and finally winding up with large structures for mass shipping, human migration, launch platforms for space rockets, etc.

Optic is incredibly complicated, because matter is incredibly complicated.

Ray tracing is good for rendering surfaces, reflection and refraction, but what we see is not limited to these things.

Volumetric stuff is all over the place: fire and other plasma, smoke and other aerosols, other forms of mixed-state matter. Also we have lots of liquid water on our planet, when it interacts with solids things and/or air, the visual complexity of the scene simply explodes. Look at boiling water, or streams of water, or shoreline. And to complicate things even more, some visuals depend on wave nature of the light: soap bubble, rainbow, or DVD disk.

Stuff like the brick wall with these shadows and reflections is awesome fit for RT. The final scene also good.

> Mainly an issue with feminism being widespread but living/working conditions not having caught up with it.

Are you sure that women entering the workforce wasn't _because_ of economic reasons? It seems to me that "feminism", as you put it, may have only been allowed to win, because it was desirable economically.

In other words, could feminism be a result of living/working conditions and not the cause?

Following this, people are having less kids because there is huge economic incentive not too.

ProbioLite [Scam or Legit] Reviews: Acid Reflux Digestion –| Extreme Result
ProbioLite Golden After 50 is a probiotic formula that help decline GERD. All things considered, this plan endeavors to decreases heartburn, expanding, free entrails, and other related concerns that furious your dietary examples. The formula packs just ordinarily trimmings so it is secured to take. Be that as it may, here's the game plan – you should be unsurprising in the usage of this course of action. Inside 1-3 months, you will start seeing positive results without compromising with any adversarial prosperity impacts. Acid reflux, expanding, heartburn and related concerns keep you up around night time, yet they can hurry to humiliate you before others also. You in like manner wrap up instinct what to eat and what not to eat dependent upon how pleasant your stomach is on a given day. A couple of individuals even surrender coffee and chocolate overall. Regardless, think about this: forsaking your favored sustenances isn't straightforward. So what might it be fitting for you to do? Progress forward? Quite troublesome. Fortunately, there's a leave plan and it goes with the name of ProbioLite Golden After 50. Along these lines, ProbioLite Trial & Order from its official website with exclusive discount offer: https://ipsnews.net/business/2020/09/21/probiolite-golden-af...

No, the missing part is not time travel. Sound comes from the skin and engines of the plane, where microphones could be located, and could potentially predict sound throughout the plane well in advance with an appropriate microphone array. You'd need a fair number of microphones, but I suspect the noise profile isn't too chaotic, which helps. You're talking about things like jet engines (which are repetitive), turbulence (which seems chaotic, but in practice, you shed vertices at a known rate), and a known cabin configuration (modulo people moving about). I suspect while the general solutions suffers from the curse of dimensionality, the specific one probably doesn't. A reasonable number of microphones, combined with decent models, could characterize the whole sound field.

Speakers, located in the seats, if they knew where ears were, could play sound to cancel that.

Decent microphones are $2, and what was expensive were things like microphone preamps, ADC, and the whole data pipeline. From there, we need a shit-ton of computation which really wasn't practical until... big-ass computation systems came out for the rise of ML.

The problem is hard today, but definitely not impossible. I don't think I would have given that same answer a decade ago. An NVidia Titan V brings over 100 teraflops. That's a lot of cycles one can throw at trying to predict sound by my ear from sound at the skin of the airplane in real-time.
You're right, it already happens and you can even see the current flows:

The paper you link makes the case that this hypothesis has no real evidence to stand on. I'm not sure how concerned anyone should be about this particular brand of fortune-telling.

Wikipedia states this about the referenced 'demographic transition' model. Note the last sentence:

> It must be remembered that the DTM is only a model and cannot necessarily predict the future. It does however give an indication of what the future birth and death rates may be for an underdeveloped country, together with the total population size. Most particularly, of course, the DTM makes no comment on change in population due to migration. It is not applicable for high levels of development, as it has been shown that after a HDI of 0.9 the fertility increases again.
You can't really... And that's the correct answer to the rhetorical question at the end, why they wouldn't be back in style. In most first world countries, making the front entrance of a new building inaccessible to people with wheelchairs is impossible due to building codes.

Most people avoid washing waterproof gear often (and particularly not at high temps), since it’s believed to damage the waterproofing. It’s particularly bad if you use normal detergent. That, indirectly, answers your question: it must leech in any conditions that damage its effectiveness.
I understand the core of your rant is "the lack of formalization prevents us from truly knowing what an optimized design is so we just guess." You would prefer society would work on developing better formal theories instead of ... what? Doing business, solving concrete problems, and building stuff?

I believe you can do a rigorous design/architecture in theory. In practice, we cannot handle the complexity and uncertainty. Usually at some point you have a human as part of your system to close some feedback loop and then you are discussing fuzzy topics like psychology.

You use programming languages as examples and claim that Rust is "closer to an optimum solution." Most of the other replies are about our inability to agree what that optimum should be. Rust certainly loses in terms of ecosystem maturity to C++, so it is further away from the optimum in that aspect and thus many people rationally decide not to use it.

I agree with you that design and architecture is a lot about intuition and gut feeling and should be more formal. However, we don't have to time to wait for the formal theory. Foods needs to put on the tables, so income needs to be generated, so business needs to be done, so decisions with incomplete information and lacking formal theory must be made by biased humans. Unfortunately, the complex and wicked problems are usually the more important ones. If you pick C++ instead of Rust, the organization will probably survive anyways. If you pick the wrong technology or person it can kill a company.
That's an awesome question. I think that some aspect of systems thinking (such as defining requirements, or breaking complex problems down at a high level) should be included in all engineering disciplines, but I agree that it's definitely a field more suited to being something you transition to instead of starting in. Mostly just because of the volume of general knowledge required to understand the whole system

Even at 5 in the morning, I can listen to stuff at a reasonable listening volume without disturbing my neighbor, as long as I'm not pumping out bass below 80Hz or so. And the neighbor recently got a dog and I haven't heard her bark even once when she's home :)
