I'm afraid are seriously misunderstanding what that calculator is for.

In this calculator, whenever you add any equal decibel values X, you get X + X = X + 3: three more decibels.

There is a familiar meaning behind that: it means that if we have two independent noise sources of about equal intensity, and add them together, the result is 3dB more intense.

E.g. if we have a loudspeaker playing white noise, and add an identical loudspeaker playing the same kind of of white noise at the same level, we get 3dB more white noise.

It has nothing to do with cascaded boosts or attenuations.

If we add together two sources that contain the same signal, in phase, then the rule is 6 dB. Like two identical loudspeakers in a cabinet instead of one, playing exactly the same signal.

The reason we can add decibels for cascaded attenuations and boosts is exactly the same reason why we can add displacements on a slide rule to do multiplication. Attenuations (such as a voltage divider) multiply the signal. E.g. multiplying by 1/2 is -6db.

In the logarithmic space, multiplication turns to addition. This is typically covered in high school.

> They are not circuit components that work serially.

That's true, but I addressed in it my comment (with several redundant remarks) in such a way that the above remark doesn't add more clarity. I have a sneaking suspicion you might not have read it in detail.
I think you can write good code that intentionally omits performance optimizations you know could be made, but don’t want to make right now because it trades off complexity for performance. I usually leave myself a note of how to improve it if it does in fact become the bottleneck or starts to hurt latency

Because for all the bullshit I have to put up with, and all the things I hate about management, and all the things that could easily be better but for one asshole vice-president needing to cosplay Business Hero ... for all of that, the job is deeply interesting and I learn a ton every day. And virtually every other job on the market is mind-numbingly boring and pointless.

And because I like my immediate teammates a lot.

And because the issues I'm railing against are incredibly pervasive in most companies in the United States and probably beyond. Our capitalism has been completely taken over by a caste of parasitic leeches who enshittify everything they touch and I am under no illusion that any other job would be any different.

But I do also look for other jobs regularly. Finding a job that is both interesting (<1%) and not full of shithead management (<5%) is about 1 in 2,000.
Curious what the latency would be using OpenAI service vs using a hosted LLM like Llama2 on premise? GPT4 is slow and given the retrieval step (coming soon) across all of companies corpus' of data, it could be even slower as it is a sequential step. (Asking more as I am curious at this point)

Another question is does the latency even matter? Today, same employees ping their colleagues for answers and wait for hours till get a reply. GPT would be faster (and likely more accurate) in most of those cases.
Providing tooling for entry is important if you want to grow an ecosystem (developers, developers, developers, developers!). This will probably significantly help people get into low level M-chip development.

It's a small number of people, but with huge multiplying force. Selling these is likely well worth the effort if you want the ecosystem to expand.

> survival for more than an hour or two is nowhere near guaranteed.

Does that pass your personal sniff test for reasonability? Have you ever soaked in a 104°F (40°C) hot tub for an hour or more? Was your survival in serious doubt?

Wet bulb temperatures in excess of 35°C need to persist for around 6 hours to represent a serious hyperthermia risk. This is not a "you will die inside of 1-2 hours" scenario.
Yes, absolutely, but there are pitfalls:

* Somehow finances have to work, which is usually a harsh reality for some. Ex: Hey we can't pay workers $250/hr without raises prices to above what customers are willing to pay

* Consumers despite "Least common denominator" which is often the result of "design by committee". Usually consumers are after something niche, unique, artistic, and creative, which is the inspiration or vision of an individual.

> As for making business decisions, it’s done democratically. The entirety of the member-owner group votes on major decisions, and the bylaws outline scenarios where employees are authorized to act independently of a vote

I don't see this working in the long term unfortunately unless a majority of the workers have a lot experience with business, especially something as cashflow-sensitive as a restaurant (which typically operate on razor-thin margins). But I do wish them luck in their experiment.

The history of NFTs has been since day one for Investment.

There are great tools that do this already in a support-multiple-ecosystems kind of way! I'm actually the CEO of one of those tools: Credal.ai - which lets you point-and-click connect accounts like O365, Google Workspace, Slack, Confluence, e.t.c, and then you can use OpenAI, Anthropic etc to chat/slack/teams/build apps drawing on that contextual knowledge: all in a SOC 2 compliant way. It does use a Retrieval-Augmented-Generation approach (rather than fine tuning), but the core reason for that is just that this tends to actually offer better results for end users than fine tuning on the corpus of documents anyway!

The answer is yes. It has also been well studied (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workplace_democracy). If you want to understand more of the history, look at the IWW, or other resources such as the Chomsky's book A People's History. Usually the idea that it will not work is a capitalist view pushed from the top down onto workers. I.E. You are not smart enough, or you are too lazy, to be productive without a figure of authority making decisions for you. Even the concept of what is considered productive use of time can be a topic of discussion in this regard. Anarchy is largely misunderstood also, it is a philosophy that focuses on the collective making decisions, instead of a central figure of authority.

"Normal people for the first time got a public podium (or they think they do) and thus behave as if the whole world is watching."

I strongly object to the word "normal" here. Normies, as in the common masses you know from the real world, are nowhere to be seen on social networks. Yes, many have accounts, but they're not a force. Many post nothing or infrequently and then get a handful of likes from their 20 followers.

If anything, social media promotes the abnormal. It does so by rewarding engagement, any engagement. What is reliably engaging? Triggering our brain that is hotwired to pay attention to the negative, strange, unhinged and weird.

Normally, the local madman of a town (village idiot) is kept in check. Ousted, not taken seriously. Social media is basically saying, you know what...you're unhinged, but we believe you should be major. Along with some tens of thousands of others like you, you should run this entire place.

This actually looks like something I needed to build for some low-level bootloader work, and I had exactly the same sort of poor failure rate for my USB switches. I chalked it up to my inexperience in board design at the time, but I guess the board production house might have just been pretty poor.

EDIT: I used a TS3USB30ERSWR in my design.

No evidence it’s a scam except all the pump and dump schemes and the exchanges collapsing?

And Bitcoin is an asset now? Back in my day we were trying to buy pizzas and beer with it. Bitcoin illustrates the point very well. It’s was supposed to facilitate transactions. Except, there was never ever a plan, or a plan I understood anyway, on how that could be achieved.

And now people hoard it like gold.
In the UK they will happily claim it is "Fiber Optic internet" if there is a bit of glass somewhere in the connection, anywhere, including windows on the building.
First we would need to define what "social justice" is in this context (other than a very, very loaded term that is used to start flame wars).

So what does wikipedia do when it "does social justice"?

Because the way I think about wikipedia their most important resource isn't content, it is people — and people tend to move in social spaces.

We probably agree that an encyclopedia that should be worth it's paper/bytes that encyclopedia needs to represent reality.

Representing reality has historically not worked well when all writers came from the same background and demographic, as this leads to blind spots or common misconceptions that occur in that populus to be reproduced. So having a more diverse cast of writers helps the quality of the built-in checks and balances because the holes in their perception are less likely to align.

On top of that if more writers feel welcome (it is a social space after all), there will also more content on more topics.

So when the telegraph polemically demands wikipedia should focus on the content, they might want to consider that they actually do.

Gofundme freezes funds from Grayzone fundraiser due to “some external concerns”
When V was first announced, the author made a lot of outlandish claims about what the language was able to do. Experienced language developers saw this immediately and pointed out correctly that the claims ranged from exaggerated and premature, to impossible based on current PL theory. Apparently the V community has decided that constructive and valid criticism from peers is an act of "war", and it's to be discounted because they are "competitors" and
"rivals" who are "salty".

Notably the criticism died down a little (from the Zig author in particular) when the Vlang devs backed off some of the more outlandish claims and correctly added "WIP" labels to them instead of implying that they were actually working and implemented. So the Vlang devs/community at the time at least recognized they were doing something wrong in how they were communicating their work; although today in this thread it seems like they are trying to back peddle.
> So it has created a pot to gather up the overspill: an endowment, consisting of investments and cash. This is held and managed not by the Wikimedia Foundation, but by the Tides Foundation, a non-profit charity which funnels money to social justice causes and campaigns.

This would seem to be a material detail.
100% I would imagine there are big differences on both sides, and possibly some ways to exempt some of the payment for assets against the cost of building them. People don't usually write much about this level of detail but it would be interesting to see.
How many total elements on the page? 1000 shouldn't be too bad. These guidelines recommend <1400 [0], although less is definitely better.

React in general is a bit of a pain, you may need to use `useMemo` etc. You probably want to find out what the bottleneck is, first. Computations? DOM elements? Re-rendering excessively?

It's certainly no harder than BE - it's likely just a lack of familiarity.

It does not take "balls" to speculate wildly. Any grifter can do it, whether they have a uterus or not. Sensationalism is always easier than evidence-building.

> I think having people with courage to stand up and argue against the consensus is incredibly important.

I agree it would be nice if Loeb tried that. So far he hasn't made any arguments, just bloviated.

And what "consensus" do you imagine Loeb is your champion against? Tarter is a pioneer carving out a new discipline, not the latest head of some ancient SETI cartel started by Aristotle. Any "consensus" is tentative at best. To hear Loeb speak, you would think it were he who started searching for techno-signatures forty years ago--with Tarter in a dominatrix outfit and a whip waylaying him at every step.

He yelled over her, refused to let her speak, misrepresented her arguments, and tarred a diverse research community with a broad brush. Nobody made him show his own ass on Zoom. That was his choice.

By contrast Tarter was polite, gracious, and statesman-like. She defended her colleagues clearly and let the clown dig his own grave. Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. If I were one of the researchers she were defending, I would be proud to have her up there representing me, and certainly glad I wasn't the one who was asked to find time in my research schedule to act as some narcissist's punching bag for an hour so he can build his social media viewership.

Loeb is just another science grifter who pumps up bad ideas with hot air in order to make some post-truth money off rubes who watch Joe Rogan--where making wild and evidence-free claims made with a flourish of performative masculinity beat decades of careful research.
100% agree. Cotton is great in hot temps. Yes you can die if you wear it in a snow storm but seriously, how many novices are hiking in these conditions today? I think it might be a holdover from decades ago when forecasts were less reliable and people really did get caught in "random" storms up in the mountains, and were generally less familiar with planning. I can't even remember the last time I saw someone on a real trail hiking in jeans though where hypothermia would be a risk... Most casual guys, if it was really cold, would probably just be like "f this let's stay at home" since hiking for 90% of people is a summer activity.
You are entirely right sir ;)

Author here. I agree. I designed a17t awhile ago (I think nearly four years ago now?) and it’s due for a refresh. I think it has the potential to be excellent but it’s not there yet.
It's a hell of a lot easier to not have to defend a statement made out of context than it is to do so. It's the same reason you should never, ever, under any circumstances answer any questions about anything at all coming from the police without your lawyer. Even if you are completely innocent, your words can be presented in such a manner as to call into question your honesty, at which point your rebuttal will be shrouded by distrust.

The quintessential example is an alibi. If the cops accuse me of shooting someone in SF, but I was in Berkeley at the time, I might be tempted to tell them that. But then, when they produce a faulty eye-witness, who says they saw me in SF that evening, suddenly I need to discredit that witness in order to resolve my alibi. Meanwhile, if I hadn't said anything, the witness's claim that I happened to be in the same city on the same day as the murder is nowhere near enough evidence to cause me any problems.

This is like the contemporary example of rent seeking and during my years of experience in the industry was absolutely a key factor in the long term success or failure of many restaurants.

When you hear of a popular, well-reviewed, by all accounts successful place closing after 5+ years with no whiff of professional scandal or business partner discord, this is usually the reason.

It would be interesting to see reports of long-term experiments of this sort, see how businesses run this way fare over time and whether this sort of model is unsustainable, or if these people are onto something effective that stands the test of time. Any other restaurants who have tried this sort of model in the past and stuck with it?

Here’s a better solution: change the laws!

Knowing the audience of this forum, you’re probably American and under 35. You have lived your whole life with an inoperable legislator. The US Congress, through a mixture of time-honored traditions with unfathomable externalities (there can never be more than this amount of representatives) and disinterested sports-like politics, is unable to print new laws in a reactive fashion. This means that kludges, with their own unfathomable externalities, look like sane solutions. They’re not. A functioning democracy would set up a legal framework for ethical research.

There is a difference between knowing specifics and knowing how, when, and why to find them.

It's easy to teach specifics. It's hard to teach people how to find them. It's tricky to teach people when to start looking; and most of the biggest mysteries in software development can be boiled down to the elusive "why".

In my experience, the biggest confounding factor is "secrecy", a word usually written out as: "proprietary".

There are two approaches to learning: definition and inference.

A public system, like Linux, can be learned from its roots, each definition built on the last.

A secretive system, like Windows, must be inferred. Every piece of knowledge is limited to the "best guess", and whatever conditions that guess was tested with.

Unfortunately, most people are working with secretive systems, so inference is the only strategy they get any practice with. That's the wrong strategy to apply when writing software, because - at the very least - one can read their own codebase.

Inference can teach you something close to specifics. It can tell you "when" to start looking (now and always, because your testing conditions are fragile). Unfortunately, inference can never truly answer you, "why".

Remove the secrecy, and everyone will know to value the basics, because those basics lay at the foundations of every answer.

No. Taxation of an LLC is not pass through. Taxation of a single member LLC that is a disregarded entity can be pass through. LLCs can also opt for sub K, sub S or sub C.

I also would not refer to an LLC as a collection of assets for a common purpose; instead I would say it is a popular entity form that limits member or manager liability. However you could take a different view.
