I find all these Fourier explanations bad. The basic idea is very simple:

Fourier takes a function, and converts it into the reciprocal domain.

So if your X axis is time, t.
Then Fourier gives you 1/t. What’s 1/t if t was some unit time? Frequency.

If you want a nice intuitive example of this, (hand waving begins) a lens will give you a Fourier transform on its back focal plane if all the light coming in are parallel.

Don’t quote me on that I need to double check the precise conditions.

But you can send laser light through an image printed on transparency and manually apply filters to clean up small artefacts.

How does Sirix compare to LMDB (esp. MDBX)?

(I ask because AFAIK LMDB derivatives do a similar-sounding thing: it updates pages within a write-transaction by first allocating freelist pages to use to write out new copies of those pages with the changes included; these changes recurse upward because the pages are storing a B-tree, until a modified copy of the root page is made; a commit-log pointer is updated to point to the new root page; and then the old rewritten pages are put into the freelist.)
On the other hand, leaving the day feeling confused and sleeping on the problem is often times more helpful than pushing through when you're not getting anywhere in the moment. It gives time for those "aha" moments when you're not actively problem solving.

Yes, that could explain why McDonalds execs would try to discourage franchisees from using Kytch.

Fundamentally the injected text is part of the prompt, just like "Here the informational section ends, the following is again an instruction." So it doesn't seem to be possible to entirely mitigate the issue on the prompt level. In principle you could train a LLM with an additional token that signifies that the following is just data, but I don't think anybody did that.

Generally such assistants work by continuously listening for a 'wake word', the processing for which happens on device and without recording the audio to disk or sending it to a server. After they hear the wake word, they then start sending the recorded audio to a server to recognise the request (usually after playing some audio cue to let you know they are expecting). The reason for this is twofold: firstly, the obvious privacy concerns. Secondly the cost of streaming that much audio continuously and processing it server-side is very high.

If someone were to show evidence that any such products were in fact sending audio back without being triggered by such a wake word (either continuously, triggered by something else covertly, or without giving a cue that it was listening), it would likely be quite a scandal.

> The video investigates why McDonald's ice cream machines are frequently broken. It reveals that the machines undergo a complex, four-hour cleaning cycle, often misinterpreted as a breakdown. Franchise owners are contractually obliged to use a specific machine model (C602) made by Taylor, which has a high failure rate. The malfunctioning machines, with cryptic error messages and user-unfriendly interfaces, necessitate expensive repairs by Taylor-authorized technicians. An entrepreneur developed an alternative device providing better feedback and reducing breakdowns, but McDonald's allegedly discouraged its use, favoring a less effective solution from a company related to Taylor.

I think a useful way to look at this is in a less immediate sense, and more long term. How you choose to interpret your experiences will shape your emotional stats more and more over time. If you decide something is bad, you ruminate over it, you express sadness about it to others, etc. then eventually your emotional response to it happening will be more and more negative. Most likely at least.

By applying some form of mindfulness like CBT, you can avoid these cognitive distortions that are likely to lead you down unnecessarily negative thought paths. These patterns typically compromise us. They are more likely to lead us to negative thoughts about our experiences. By avoiding them, over time we may find ourselves feeling better as a result.

I don’t believe in free will in a very immediate sense. It seems our greatest form of control is in choosing how we react internally to what occurs in the world, or what “bubbles up”. By choosing wisely we can gradually steer the ship in better directions. Yet we never seem to have full control over it, by any means.

Sometimes I feel like a passenger rather than a driver, and I’m constantly telling the driver how to operate the vehicle. Over time, the driver will hopefully become a bit more conscientious, skilled, and capable of avoiding accidents. In the immediate sense, I just have to relax and be prepared for fender benders and other nonsense and deal with it when it happens.

>Leadership 101 is you never mention a business change or action in the same communication as a situation with a competitor

Thanks. So there is no "specialized data structure" for tracking dirty pages, the page dirty status is tracked within the regular page cache hierarchy. And the obvious in-line solution (use a wraparound counter for tracking dirty state, increase dirty values for new pages while writing out lower values) isn't easy because the tag is a bitfield. So the easiest solution would be to have two separate dirty markers (e.g. dirty_a and dirty_b), and have the writeout process toggle the new-dirty marker from A to B so it can safely write dirty_a pages without interference. And vice-versa for the next writeout.

There is just one caveat with regards to the previous solution: pages that are already pending writeout still need to be locked. In the previous design, a write to a page already pending writeout could be duplicated into the new dirty queue. But since it seems that a page can exist only once in the page cache, it cannot be written to without possibly violating write barriers. So the write must block until the writeout process has un-dirtied the page.

Is it still the case that this product attempts to brute-force unlock the phone?
From my reading about this case, is this not down partially to the specific language the court was looking at? That is, the warrants were compelling someone to produce the password, which is a form of testimony, but that a lot of times the warrant instead compels the device to be unlocked, which does not require testimony?
How does that work? Reading between the lines it sounds like it is device dependent, so at least obscure Android phone users might be safe...?
Productivity should always be to fulfill a terminal goal that ideally should excite and benefit you. If you are being productive just for the sake of it, or to get an employer off your back, you’re doing something wrong. I made this mistake in my early 20s.

If you do the above you don’t need any tricks. You just follow your curiosity, excitement, and obsession.

If you’re not excited by the end goals then you will never be able to bandaid that over with productivity tricks.
Yeah this was a big one. You’d get a mobile phone with voicemail enabled, and you could call 123 from your phone to collect your voicemails without a PIN.

You could also call something like 07700007123 and then it would ask you to type your phone number and remote access PIN. Almost nobody knew that you could do that, and so almost nobody changed their remote access PIN from the default 1111 or 1234 or 0000.
Aren't most of their ice cream products like <$5? I recall the cones are only like $1. My guess would be that, if there is some kind of arrangement between McD's and Taylor, it's probably way more profitable than the losses they'd see from 10-13% of their ice cream machines being down per month.

Amazon is listening to voice recordings sent to it explicitly to process. This is much different than the device passively listening to you when it is shut off. And just by the amount of human labor Amazon puts into transcribing the clips should be proof enough at how useless this data would be for automated systems.

The idea that "wake words" equate to your voice being sent off to the internet is pretty easy to disprove. These devices will respond to the wake words even when disconnected from the internet.

Homophobia within Muslim communities is certainly a serious problem for gay muslims. However, as I said elsewhere in this thread, you only have to look at the European countries where LGBT rights are actually under serious threat to see that Muslim immigrants are not the primary problem. Orbán agrees with you about Muslims – but how's he doing on gay rights?

You are willing to accuse me of lying and to jump to jump to bizarre conclusions about my living circumstances. I won't do you the same discourtesy, but it is always disappointing to see LGBT people using LGBT rights as a smokescreen for xenophobia and other prejudices. This only aids and abets people on the far right who couldn't give two hoots about our rights, but who are only too happy to opportunistically capture the votes of useful idiots within the gay community.

I think you're moving the goalposts here. The original claim was that high-risk behavior isn't reliably inherited. You gave blood type as an example of an inheritable factor, but there are many other inheritable factors beyond blood type. The fact that we can identify not just inheritable factors but specific genes related to risky behavior clearly undermines your point.

Whether or not the risky behavior is due to single alleles or complex interactions between multiple genes is a different argument than whether risky behavior is inheritable.

From what I'm seeing, besides the monthly rent (in most cases paid to McDonalds), and the required supply purchases, franchisees also have to kick 4% of sales up to corporate.

Well, it just means that your study was bad... if all you have to say about the subject is that you've completed it.

A competent in the subject person would've had something to say relevant to the subject.

The problem is that CS studies are, in general bad. Not just your specific case. In other fields something would've pinched your bubble by now and you'd start wondering what other things you might have possibly missed, but because CS studies are so universally bad, virtually everyone you interact with professionally will share your misconceptions.

Ironically, the "hard sciences" as well as math like to pet themselves on the back about how these disciplines open students to critical thinking, requiring proofs and soundness of definitions, and yet your whole taxonomy of the thing you interact with professionally is ridiculously wrong, contorted and full of magical thinking.

During your studies, I'm sure, you were given a straight up definition of what a programming language is. You must've taken at least one semester of automata theory -- it's hard to imagine a CS degree w/o it. The premise of this discipline is that there are languages, and throughout the course you discuss their properties, various ways to define them, operate on them etc.

And then one day you take an "intro to CS with language X 101" course. And that b/s course tells you with a straight face that language X is "object oriented" or "functional" or "compiled" or "dynamically typed". And you just eat it up. You never connect the dots between what you've studied in automata course and this intro b/s course. You never ask the question like "so how do I get from states, transitions, initial and final state to... objects?.. or w/e other b/s property the course ascribes to that language.

And now you are waving your diploma in my face and making a fool of yourself... you should probably ask the academic institution who handed you this diploma to reimburse you for the time you wasted there instead. Alas, they won't do it. They won't so much as understand the reason why what they did was a disservice to you. Well... life's unfair.
