How could a problem in the filetransfer of the update successfully update the system, and then reduce the output volume as a side effect?

It's probably pretty likely that some of the lower counts are a result of hand written assembly, but the compiler has to be doing the high count ones.
Hi Jeff, in your opinion, what would be the best algorithms book for students taking algo in Freshman year who want to learn it properly, in an in-depth manner?

It would really help me with many questions that I have.

Thanks.

Sophie Purdom co-writes ClimateTech VC. Sophie has worked in start ups as an operator. She is a venture capitalist investor. She has written widely on sustainable investing. We discuss what areas of climate tech are over-invested in and under-invested in, and why she’s interested in the climate-industrial-tech area.

We chat about investment philosophy, the VC geography and gender lens and how she seeds the landscape on access to capital at the seed and pre-seed stage.

Sophie explains the concept of “brown spinning” and the pros/cons of taking assets private or selling brown assets to less responsible entities.
Why is there such thing as a mandatory firmware update for a set of speakers? Now I'm not an audio engineer, but frankly I would never purchase hardware that hostile to user agency.
From the customer support message the article author received:

> to dampen their sound more than it should

Wouldn't this mean that the update should have dampen the sound (so there was an update to the audio), but something went wrong so it dampened it too much?
I have worked very hard to stop my addiction to Youtube. I watched a lot of "lifestyle instructional" videos (ToT, Ave, Fireball Tools, LPL, Tom Lipton, Matt's Recovery, etc), but after you've had your "inspiration moment" with these, you're not learning much and are essentially spending your life watching someone else's.

That brings me on to my second point - video is a HORRIBLE format for most forms of instruction (for me). Practically every time I decide to try watching one to learn something, it could easily have been communicated in text form. Coding is a great example - I really hate having to skip through a 10-minute video that boils down to a single screen's worth of basic code.

Saying that, I've saved myself a bunch of money watching youtubers who very generously give away their time and experience for free to show me how to disassemble and re-assemble electronics and cars.
> In other words, it seems like a bad investment of time.

It's only a bad investment of time because of ineffective teaching methods. What these students need is rigorous yet effective instruction that doesn't simply expect them to "learn all the math by themselves" and actively helps them master the subject, in a step by step fashion. Unfortunately, this is very unpopular with current teachers because it's seen as "demeaning" the profession.

Incidentally, Firefox on my M1 MacBook Air suddenly got very slow. Scrolling got super laggy. I've tried refreshing it and disabling all extensions, nothing helps. It's on the latest version and the rest of the system is very smooth as always.

It's even laggy after I completely wiped it from my system and used a fresh Firefox installation.

Any ideas?

Well the demand is clearly there as these things took off and people use them.

The profitability is the question here though - the market clearly wants this service, but at what price? To make it so that it is profitable for the business while also offering a fair wage to the workers will probably increase prices to the point where it is no longer desirable from users.

Today we are more productive than we have ever been because of technology advances over the last 200 years.
Yet, when a machine is invented that cuts labor by 50%, we don’t continue to pay two men a full salary and let them come in to work half as often… we lay one off.

I was talking to a Romanian who said to me “When we were communist, we had plenty of money but nothing to buy. Now we have to buy everything but have no money.” Apparently, there is nothing in the middle.

Valuing a Venture Capital Portfolio
I don't really know and I've been wondering for a while. HN might be the best place to get an informed answer.

Here is my reasoning. Say I give enough to plant 10 trees a month. In 10 years that's 1,200 trees. Let's say half of them die, we're left with 600. Assuming a tree absorb 1 ton of CO2 throughout its life, that 600 tons. I live in a place where CO2 emissions per capita are about 6 tons a year (check for yourself here and don't forget to compare with the US https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis... ).

According to this back of the enveloppe calculation after 10 years I would have planted enough trees to offset 100 years of carbon emissions.
Industrial Design and Graphic Design are also Arts, so we consume Art every day, most everything we use or buy start with Art.
It's not universal. I've had experiences that resonated with what you're talking about; and then I've had completely different ones, without any meetings or micromanagement.

100% oxygen via nasal cannula, even at a barely tolerable 6L/minute. Still only results of an intake O2 concentration of <50% [0]. You can with heated humidified systems achieving rates approaching the 100% used here.

But they are still at atmospheric pressures, this research is on a combination of high oxygen (hyperoxia) and high pressures (hyperbaric), which leads to much higher partial pressures of oxygen within the body according to Dalton's equations[1].

Yes, as I said, I don’t have a lot of experience. However, the little experience I have indicates that Windows is fundamentally worse. For instance, the file handle issue is clearly annoying when developing. You may be used to it, but I don’t see an argument on how Windows’ handling of files is better or even equal. Or take Poweshell. The *nix approach of composeable shell primitives is better for developers. Software development is the composition of primitives after all.

And you can tell me to RTFM all you like, but the manual is leaves something to be desired.

Google “run on system start linux api” and the first result is about systemd. Create a config file, put it in the right place, and done.

Replace linux with windows and I don’t see an answer on the first page of results.

If you learn on Windows first, or if you’re a masochist, then I’m sure it’s possible to tolerate or even enjoy Windows development. But I have never seen a convincing argument that it’s better or even on par with Linux development.
For people without a functional language background, it makes sense to think of point-free style with an example they understand: Unix pipes.

The controlled producer-consumer flow in pipes is a subset of the declarative combinatorics of values in a point-free function composition. Approaching it as an ongoing process that generates values and consumes them at the same pace can make it easier to understand.
>> This leads to one of the key questions of deep learning, currently: Why do
neural networks prefer solutions that generalize to unseen data, rather than
settling on solutions which simply memorize the training data without actually
learning anything?

That's the researchers who prefer these solutions, not the networks. And that's
how the networks find them: because the experimenters have access to the test
data and they keep tuning their networks' parameterers until they perfectly fit
not only the training, but also the _test_ data.

In that sense the testing data is not "unseen". The neural net doesn't "see" it
during training but the researchers do and they can try to improve the network's
performance on it, because they control everything about how the network is
trained, when it stops training etc etc.

It's nothing to do with loss functions and the answers are not in the maths.
It's good, old researcher bias and it has to be controlled by othear means,
namely, rigorous design _and description_ of experiments.

Characterization of JWST science performance from commissioning
"...This document characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as known on 12 July 2022. Following six months of commissioning to prepare JWST for science operations, the observatory is now fully capable of achieving the discoveries for which it was built. A key part of commissioning activities was characterizing the on-orbit performance of the observatory. Here we summarize how the performance of the spacecraft, telescope, science instruments, and ground system differ from pre-launch expectations. Almost across the board, the science performance of JWST is better than expected. In most cases, JWST will go deeper faster than expected..."

It's true that monetization has changed things and I can understand that for some folks it's bad but for some I think it's been really good.

In the old days the content was only driven by passion, because it wasn't really possible to make a living or fund a production team.

These days, you get guys like Colin Furze who are able to do what they're passionate about full-time, with nice equipment and staff to support them.

Tom Scott is another good example. He has a production team behind him but his content is still "here's a genuinely interesting thing I wanted to show you", maybe with a short, very obviously marked sponsored segment.

I don’t know how cultural that is. In the aggregate, humans seem to enjoy sunlight. If a house is in the middle of the woods, I imagine there’s a subset of human who would prefer that but not so much the general population over a large time span.

EDIT: though the lighting would probably be awesome for TV viewing or gaming… it’s important to remember that if the house is sticks and siding with asphalt covered shingles, there’s an increased maintenance burden and security risk from having a ton of trees close to the house.
I think the correct solution is to buy hardware whose firmware is free software under your control so that you're safe from manufacturer-pushed malware. As long as people keep using the hardware, they can share firmware updates with each other. And that way your device gets better over time instead of worse.

If you're designing a speaker with a built-in amplifier, you can probably get better performance at lower cost and lower power consumption by designing a microcontroller into the amplifier circuitry. Once you do that, you have firmware, and then it's just a matter of whether users (or the manufacturer) can update the firmware or not.
This is where it gets a bit more technical; our support team member mistaked the speaker for SOUNDBOKS GO (our other version), where we have pushed out an audio update. In that audio update, there is implemented a tweeter protection mechanism, that limits the volume increase on the tweeter when it gets too hot. That can in some cases limit the dB a tiny bit (we're talking something that's not hearable), but in some cases there is a calibration error on the base temperature of the tweeter, making it think it is way hotter than it is - which can make it dampen too much. That is a bug, and we're working on fixing that - but again, that is on the SOUNDBOKS GO, and has nothing to do with the SOUNDBOKS Gen 3 that the author has.

Yep, mostly agree here.

> The issue I see with a lot of teams is when they're not sure how to handle cross-stack references or what they should output.

Very much agree. What I try to do as much as possible these days is to not cross-reference. I find terraform remote state resources a code smell. Data sources are a better way to go. No code coupling and no terraform versioning dependencies between stacks.
Most jobs people do are not pointless. Any customer service job positively impacts more people than 99% of art.
Any device can be compromised, and, not all communications require the same degree of security. Start with those first premises, then work backwards to determine which combinations are secure enough for the communications that will be carried over them.

If the goal is to sequester as much CO2 as possible, it's much better to support tropical rainforest than planting trees near the arctic circle. The Coalition of Rainforest Nations is consistently cited as one of the most impactful NGO's in terms of carbon saved.

If you're serious about the environment, then do something about emissions. Using it as a wedge to attack crypto (or whatever else you don't like) devalues it and actively makes real climate solutions less likely.

Interesting under "Fault management"

"... JWST has experienced seven safe mode entries (six safe haven and one inertial point mode) since launch. The majority of these safe mode
entries were a result of on-orbit learning of the nuances of the control system behavior and system level interactions. All of the safe mode entries’ underlying causes are understood and several updates to the fault management and control system set items have been loaded to flight software to prevent the issues from recurring..."

and under "Micrometeoroids"

"...During commissioning, wavefront sensing recorded six localized surface deformations on the primary mirror that are attributed to impact by micrometeoroids. These occurred at a rate (roughly one per month) consistent with pre-launch expectations. Each micrometeoroid caused degradation in the wavefront of the impacted mirror segment, as measured during regular wavefront sensing. Some of the resulting wavefront degradation is correctable through regular wavefront control; some of it comprises high spatial frequency terms that cannot be corrected. There should also be a small effect on the telescope throughput, which is not yet measurable. Of the six micrometeoroid strikes detected thus far through wavefront sensing, five had negligible effects, contributing a combined total of < 1 nm to the overall wavefront error..."

"...By contrast, the micrometeoroid which hit segment C3 in the period 22—24 May 2022 UT caused significant uncorrectable change in the overall figure of that segment. However, the effect was small at the full telescope level because only a small portion of the telescope area was affected. After two subsequent realignment steps, the telescope was aligned to a minimum of 59 nm rms, which is about 5-10 nm rms above the previous best wavefront error rms values. It should be noted that the drifts and stability levels of the telescope mean that science observations will typically see telescope contribution between 60 nm rms (minimum) and 80 nm rms (where WF control will typically be performed)..."

I drove an 11" Air for 3 years until I sold that machine to a friend who kept it running for another 3-5 years. Loved the size of the machine, not so much of the screen - but I made it work. These days I'm not sure I could use something that small for serious work but the current (actually previous gen, I haven't tried the M2 one yet) 13" Air is a pretty good size!
This is a really underrated comment. A 36 dB reduction is a factor of 4000 in power, so if the speaker could output 40 watts of power before the update, now it can output 0.01 watts.

> just a couple centuries ago for most European countries having less than 70%+ forest coverage would be an oddity.

70%+ seems a lot; I'm not sure where you got that number from? For example in [1] mentions about 15% in 1086 for England, [2] mentions ~2% 1750 for the Netherlands and ~11% in 1775 for Belgium. Numbers will undoubtable differ for other countries, but 70%+ is really a lot.

Neolithic people already cleared a lot of forest for agriculture in Europe, which happened thousands of years ago. In some countries (such as the Netherlands) forests have actually grown in the last few centuries (from the ~2% in 1750 mentioned before to ~10% today).

Iceland had "only" about 30% forest before settlers arrived.
