They got Freesync having less lag than no synchronization which means their measurements are likely wrong.

All the lag can be calculated on paper, why do they need an empirical study? Their definition of triple buffering is one of following: One is FIFO, used by Microsoft, which causes even more lag than just double buffered. The other is some obscure mode I barely even remember that is incorrect because it drops or doubles various frames.
I think a lot of the US fixtures don't even have compatible thermostatic valves. You'd have to get a complete replacement fixture, not just a valve/cartridge/insert.

Encoder speed in opus is configurable. If you're comparing performance with something less space efficient you probably should be setting the encoder at the fastest setting. :)

Though of course, it's no shock that something simple could be fast. There are also lossless codecs which are much faster to decode than opus.

If I'm listening to a song, I don't want the next song to sound similar, and the next, and the next. For example, my playlist just played "I touch myself", "Whiskey in the Jar," and now "Somebody that I used to know." All of which sound entirely different. But, maybe I'm an outlier. Have fun!

In every elementary school I have encountered in the US, one learns the multiplication tables up to 10 in 3rd grade (age ~8). Some schools go up to 12 (presumably because imperial units are somewhat base 12?).

Edit: On a lark, I just tested this on my wife who is not mathy whatsoever, and she was able to remember them up to n=12 (with a slight hesitation for 7^2 == 49).

>This is in my opinion is the primary reason why kids aren't allowed out alone.

All other developed nations have big, urban areas where people don't know all their neighbors, yet they don't have this weird problem America has. I live in Tokyo, the most populated metro area on the planet, and I see little kids riding around on their bikes, by themselves, at night. Little kids riding the subways to places far from home, by themselves, is perfectly normal. I've also seen kids walking by themselves in Europe.

This is uniquely an American problem. IMO, Americans are simply paranoid.
Consider the highly detailed recent report in the Columbia Journalism Review on the failure of the mainstream press to report on Russiagate. In light of the many tens of thousands of articles, blogs, reports, comments et al. on the internet regurgitating information about Russiagate that has since been discredited, I think it is difficult to adduce "reason, tolerance, and common sense" to the preeminent publications that so vigorously espoused such nonsense.

But perhaps you need big missiles if you want them to
fly fast and have a lot of range.

I'm just a layperson but this has always been my understanding. Modern air combat is all about firing from beyond visual range, so I think they optimize pretty strongly for that.

See my other answer, though - air to air missiles ARE generally (always) proximity fuzed. They don't need to precisely impact the target, they just need to get close.

I asked: “my girlfriend thinks im too much sometimes, what can I do to make her happy?”

It wrote:

“ It is important to understand the concept of inelastic and elastic demand when it comes to relationships. An inelastic demand for your girlfriend or boyfriend is when you expect them to always be available and willing to fulfill your needs without any change in the amount of effort you put into the relationship. On the other hand, an elastic demand is when you are willing to put in more effort to make the relationship work. If your girlfriend is feeling overwhelmed by your expectations, it may be helpful to adjust your expectations and put in more effort to make the relationship work. Additionally, if you and your girlfriend live one hour apart, it can be helpful to use the tools developed in the chapter to predict which one of you will do most of the driving. This can help to make sure that the relationship tax is shared evenly.”

You don't even need an electronic thermostat. You have manual thermostatic valves that do the same thing.

The supreme court actually decided this. Cops just have to think they are enforcing the law. Cops for the most part cannot be personally sued due to qualified immunity. Tax payers just cover any litigation losses. Vast majority of times cops break the law there are no repercussions. The latest high profile cases are an exception. Even when committing an egregious act and charged, cops are often found not guilty.

Interesting, I put in a bunch of my favourite songs and found nothing I liked. The songs seem to be over matching on drum beat and tempo so there is a similarity to the song I suggested and the matches but it's often superficial.

For instance I picked a song with a very strong snare drum line. All the suggestions also had a strong snare drum line but wildly different melodies, genre's, tone, etc.

> "Great Books" is mired in fairly a ridiculous fetishism of the Greek classics, the Enlightenment era, the American founding, and the Anglo view of the western world.

The webpage clearly states that the list is of foundational books of greco-roman civilization. And SJC is an american university. What do you expect?

Also, fetishism? Greek classics are the foundation of european civilization. That's like going to a christian seminary and whining about their fetishism of the bible.

I’m not very deep into the topic, but this new process might positively affect the economics and scalability of pilot plants like these as well:

https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/20/porsche-pumps-first-synthe...

With advances in nuclear fusion or other technologies that lower the price of CO2 neutral electricity, we just might be able to build plants that produce conventional fuel, using seawater and removing CO2 from the atmosphere at the same time. This would allow scalable production of conventional fuel, without affecting our drinking water or having to replace several billion cars all over the world.

I’m probably simplifying here way too much, but exciting developments in that space.

Good work! I tried some house tunes. I guess the results were similar but expected something more direct.. a suggestion; since some listens only includes the intro - it would be a good idea to match the first 5-10 seconds in harmonics; probably in the span of 90-180 hz. But I guess that would take a whole lot of new work.. So, anyways - if there's a way to jump in a bit into the song I think it might be beneficial. But after trying a bit more I realized simply that the quality of good productions was more of an issue.
Great work anyways!

I see it differently. i think the playbook is that the system generates a counterculture to control the opposition narrative. The systems greatest trick as Ted K put it.

Sure, the hippie movement was branded countercultural. But to what purpose? Note that during the period, the US government was engaged in a large scale remaking of America both domestically and internationally. Domestically, we saw the remaking of immigration policies to no longer bias towards those of European descent, and instead towards what favored macro capitalism (the import of cheaper and low skilled labor). Internationally the US was scaling up engagement in hot and cold wars and no longer considering itself bound to the constitutional provisions for war. Lo and behold, during this period, a "counterculture" arises which glorifies drug use, the dissolution of the nuclear family and pushes forward the vapid strain of hyper individualism that we see today. Suddenly the anti-war movement is associated with drug use and degeneracy, whilst the nation's racial consciousness is broken in time to welcome a new wave of immigrants to help improve the margins of big business.
Note that the current "woke" counterculture follows the same pattern. Increased individualism, sublimated racial awareness, dissolution of family, and rampant degeneracy. Meanwhile the state continues its hegemonic march of constant international agitation.
A good analogy. And that stance is so different from "wanting to lose" -- it is "wanting a challenge." To get bested by a worthy opponent. That feeling can only be had after bringing one's best and strongest game to the court.

How have I been wrong? The NYAG and the CFTC have now definitively proven me right.

Letitia James says:

> The OAG’s investigation found that, starting no later than mid-2017, Tether had no access to banking, anywhere in the world, and so for periods of time held no reserves to back tethers in circulation at the rate of one dollar for every tether, contrary to its representations.

The CFTC says:

> As found in the order, Tether held sufficient fiat reserves in its accounts to back USDT tether tokens in circulation for only 27.6% of the days in a 26-month sample time period from 2016 through 2018.

How exactly am I wrong? And please be specific. It's something they paid significant quantities of penalties over.

I suspect I'm not the one who needs to let it go.
True, but the name of the school predates the curriculum in question by more than a century; the school has for many years been in no way associated with any religion.

(Likewise, at its founding in 1696, the college was called King William’s School; a name that probably sounded a bit off in post-Revolutionary America, leading to the adoption of the current name in 1784, a year after the War.)

oh I used to derive this in high school by Newton's method: x[k] = x[k - 1] - x[k-1]^2/2x[k-1] = x[k] / 2 + a / 2x[k]; base case x[0] = a reasonable guess of the initial square root.

Do a few iterations and you will get a close estimate of the square root.

In fact the babylonians found it first by intuition a few thousand years ago it was Newton and Ralpson who proved and generalized it to all derivable functions I think?

So the big advantage of this is that it is easily applicable to say like cubic root or quintic root, although the difficulty goes harder and harder.
It makes sense if you are an informed, educated person, that organized religion isn't a palatable thing. But neither is our society's obsession with money, and I'd argue many of the problems we have with religions come down to how money and power is wielded, not a few sentences in a very old book. I also find a lot of what conservative christian evangelicals believe to be indistinguishable from wahhabist islam. They seem to hate each other for reasons other than what they actually believe.
> The best way to counter the deluge of low effort, low accuracy claims is with a medium-effort, medium-accuracy source.

I know there is no unsafe keyword, but I was suggesting one should be added.

I am a bit rusty (no pun intended) at the moment, but I have decades-long experience with C++, but not all people do, and all people ,even experienced developers make mistakes or get lazy and take the easy way out from time to time.

I think one lesson C++ could take from rust, if nothing else, is that clearly demarking unsafe code sections is beneficial in and of itself.

If Strostrup makes the claim that developers using old C features is the main security problem of modern C++ , then an unsafe keyword would guide behavior towards safe usage.

To make your girlfriend happy, you could try the following:

Listen to her and understand her perspective

Show appreciation and affection regularly

Be supportive and considerate in your actions and words

Be open to compromise and finding a solution together

Make time for shared activities and experiences that bring you both joy

Take responsibility for your actions and apologize when necessary

Communicate openly and honestly with each other to maintain trust and intimacy.

Remember, every relationship is unique and what works for one couple may not work for another. The key is to have open and ongoing communication to understand each other's needs and work together to find what works for your relationship.

Such an odd thing to experience. I didn't think this would be possible ten, twenty years ago, but portions of the population have developed an ability to completely dismiss factual information, even when they can easily verify it by themselves in a couple minutes.

And it's not even the 'how many died in WW2' kind of data, but simple public records like 'tax revenue for 2020', 'road accidents in october'.

It's as if being able to find information so easily, has made it less trustworthy. Being flooded with fake and twisted news certainly feels like one of the causes.
The challenge with "lots of smaller missiles" is really range, I think. You want to hit the target from as far away as possible. That takes fuel, which puts limits on how small you can go.

The longest-range version of the AIM-120 has a range of 160km, and missiles under development promise even longer ranges than that, so that kind of tells you what they prioritize.

One tangential thing to understand is that air to air missiles are proximity fuzed. They don't need to precisely impact their target, they just need to get close.
