It's unfortunate that the article doesn't get into the fundamental limits of spectrogram resolution which are based on the famous uncertainty principle(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform#Uncertainty_...). For example there is a fundamental tradeoff between frequency resolution and time resolution similar to the position/momentum tradeoff in quantum mechanics. The Continuous Wavelet Transform which is alluded to in the article is a way to tune that tradeoff by frequency bin to best align with human sound perception.
Causal | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | London (UK) or REMOTE | https://causal.app
Causal is a human way to think and communicate with numbers. Our product is a number-crunching tool that's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming. Our vision is to be the de-facto way for anyone to work with numbers on a computer. We're very early stage and well-funded by some great investors across the US and Europe (Accel, Coatue, Passion Capital, Naval Ravikant, Scott Belsky, and many more).
---

* Our stack is React/Redux/TypeScript on the frontend, and Node/TypeScript/Golang on the backend. We're looking for engineers who have experience with these technologies.

* Our core backend computation engine that performs the calculations behind Causal models — the challenge is to show the user instant results when possible and run complex operations (Monte-Carlo simulation, API calls) on the backend.

* Our spreadsheet-esque frontend interface for building models. This comes with a slew of UI/UX challenges to support complex functionality without being complicated, and needs to be incredibly performant.

* Our dashboarding and data visualisation capabilities, to let users use beautiful charts and tables to communicate with numbers.

* Check out our roadmap to see what else we've got planned: https://www.notion.so/00f79272b4ec4d6790ec98120788d850

Other roles we hire for: Frontend Engineer - Data Visualisation, Backend Engineer - Data, Business Operations

We have a nice office in London (UK) but are also open to remote hires. If this sounds interesting then I'd love to chat! lukas (at) causal.app

I am no longer a Google fan. Haven't been for years so there's no bias.

> More importantly though, the observed phenomenon was that no matter how bad the results you presented were, most people didn't switch to another search engine.

That may be the case today because the results are similar now, but it wasn't the same case years ago. The ancient search engines prior to Google weren't much better than human curated directories like Yahoo. Otherwise, why would anyone switch from them to Google?
Just a heads up, but that safe would need to be mighty hard to dislodge and/or be extremely thick. The long gun safes from Costco are easily dislodged and sawn through. My understanding is the safe should be built into the wall, exposing only its toughest, front side.

yah, i like to think of it as the esteem economy, something that's even more intimately tied with human societies and our evolutionary survival. polico-economic systems are simply models on top of this underlying esteem economy, and over history, we've jumped from one polico-economic theory to the next, without earnestly acknowledging and perhaps even venerating this simple connection.

how social networks could potentially better model the esteem economy is what most interests me about them, but so far, likes and follows don't seem to do a good enough job in general at revealing the truly estimable from the randomly popularized background meme.
Secure? These fuuids are supposed to replace regular uuids, which aren't specified to be secure either. UUIDs are supposed to be quasi-unique (very low probability of collisions), not secure. They are, in my humble opinion, the wrong tool if you want secure.

>Why not encode geolocation or IP while they're at it.

Version 1 (and 2) of UUIDs encoded the MAC-Address + ns timestamp. So there you go.

Version 3 and 5 just hash a namespace string and a name string with md5 and sha1 respectively (same inputs generate same output)

Version 4, which these days is used by almost everything, just uses whatever pseudo-random numbers the implementation chose to use. If you can figure out what PRNG (pseudo-random number generator) was used (if any) and the internal state of that PRNG, then you may be able to guess/forge UUIDs. The spec does not mandate using a cryptographically-secure PRNG, although a lot of implementations out there today will probably use one.

Anyway, thinking UUIDs would be secure is wishful thinking, unless you did the legwork to make sure you control the generator, and the generator you use is using Version 4 with a cryptographically-secure PRNG, and you can guarantee that that will not change in the future; then you get 122 bits of secure random numbers (+ 6 static bits for version and variant).

By comparison, this implementation of "fuuids" gives you 96 bits of secure-enough random numbers or 64 bits in the nanosecond case (it uses os.urandom(12) and os.urandom(8), compared to os.urandom(16) that the standard lib in python uses)
We had no government warnings in the middle of February so perhaps the Asian community was feeling attacked? Someone in the government knew the real danger but most were never warned

A month later a Republican Congressman was actively downplaying the advice of the CDC.

How can it possibly monitor blood glucose without a sample? The people in the comments seem strangely unsurprised.

Ive been running DND mode (Do Not Disturb) 24/7 for the last few years, and it works well. No calls, texts, notifications, nothing. Helps me to use the device on my own terms rather than in response to someone else.
I don't see how you can think this is broken. Think about the implications if it wasn't like this. Bankruptcy would be rampant and R&D investment would be impossible for everyone but the largest companies.
Yes indeed. I get Evernote but not 1Password. The issue with Evernote for me was it kept getting slower and they lost me when they changed pricing, I felt they had lost their way and it was really easy to change note apps. I prefer simpler note apps today, even Google docs or Word. 1Password is good, the windows app could be better and browser integration is a pain but it’s solid.
The point is so people stop asking why you don’t have kids yet

This seems like a good way to accidentally turn every icon into a dropdown. It's really hard to see the benefit of this Action component instead of just rendering say an `<Icon>` where you want. So much simpler to read, and the explicitness of the render method is just in your face instead of behind a `iconProps` in the props interface of `<Action>`.
Well yes, governments tend to like their industrial bases growing and are willing to wait for bigger gains over a longer time period. That isn't broken it is by design.
Yeah CTRL labs has been flying under the radar, but they have a ton of top talent and already demonstrated insane results. I will go further to say they are easily ahead of neuralink in terms of bringing a faster-bandwidth interface; of course, for more ambitious projects that Musk has tweeted about like mental health disorders, you must go through the brain, but there's no indication the neuralink approach will scale to this either.
Case in point I literally only use JSX and ReactDOM.render().

Some would call this a blasphemy. Works great.
I’ve seen people attempt to treat API calls like this as components and it just never quite works out well. How to populate the response to the Redux store? How to treat errors? Retries? More advanced API calls that might require some data manipulation? We’ve always found a separate API layer works best and is far easier to test.

Flawed democracy is a more apt description. It's not a dictatorship.

The PAP could technically be unseated but it's unlikely due to gerrymandering and their use of the courts to silence the opposition.

I can't see any advantage of doing it this way

You are already deciding that this component will take one of iconProps/buttonProps/dropdownItemProps, so you've already decided what type of component it is. You might as well just call <Icon />, <Button />, or <Dropdown.Item /> from the parent component and have more readable code.
The middle initials threw me off. Maybe if I'd just concentrated on "DR" and "BK" (or just took a quick peek at the UNIX article on Wikipedia) I might have got it...

Ken Thompson is also the one I am most familiar with and most in awe of, of this group, so that's why I could readily recognize his initials.

I took the authors claim that dads were less interested in spending time with their children to suggest that this wasn’t such an issue for dads.
The crux of the problem here is overgeneralization to the point of losing meaning and scope.

The most blatant signal for this is the else case here. The else case literally calls one of the props with on of its other props passed in. You could easily ask the question "Why couldn't the consumer of this component just do that instead?"—in this else case the Action component loses meaning by breaking the single responsibility principle. It becomes so overgeneralized that literally any component could be rendered through it.
Again, you're rewriting history.

Thanks. Glad you liked it enough to remember :) Indeed, I've just checked and I still have the TeXmacs files for the "polycopié du cours de Processus Discrets". The main developer was in Orsay at the same time I was there 2006, for mixed circumstances I've started to interest me to that software at the same time. I should say at the beginning I was attracted to TeXmacs not as a user but because it is a very complex piece of software which is very fun to hack on (choose your language: Scheme or C++).
Time? Yes. Energy and mental agility? Probably not.

The vast majority of people seem to live in denial that ageing is a fact of life and that you get slower and less energetic as you age and that you start ageing immediately (at 20 you're already losing somethings you had when you were younger), not when you're 65.
Specifically what do you not like? Some of it seems iffy to me but some of it also seems obvious e.g. “use components”.

Clojure and co are a similar vein of favoring small, focused practices and libraries over one-size-fits-all frameworks.

YMMV, but having been on both sides of this equation at companies large and small, I find the library (I.e. react) approach favorable over the framework (I.e. angular or ember) approach.
