As I understand it, the really nice modern class D amplifiers use feedback internally, which more or less eliminates using a pre-computed DSD-like bitstream as a good option.

On the other hand, FPGAs and really fast microcontrollers are a thing now, so you could probably get a chip with a nice internal ADC, digitize the output voltage, and use an actual computer program to drive the H bridges, thus making an extremely non-cost-effective class D amplifier :)

Rationality is not an inscribed property but rather a natural consequence of observing the order in place.

For example, the table of elements expresses the properties of integers as inherent to reality. As such, it is rational and rationally-ordered.

This is not so much “philosophy” as it is “logic”, it is the conclusion of philosophy and mathematics and the subsequent origin of the computational reality.

> They are being rejected because the account requires a login to a service that isn't sold via IAP

I'm extremely skeptical of this claim. I have apps in the app store that behave exactly as you've described and Apple has not rejected any of our submissions. One app uses a third party login, one uses a first party login. One allows for registration within the app, the other requires registration outside of the app.

>it's been quite awhile since multiple weeks without a response has been normal

You are correct that typically reviews are very fast. That said, we recently had a new version of an app take 2 weeks (14 days) to get reviewed and rejected due to a similar, but different, issue. My guiddance is always submit very early (4+ weeks), especially when you have a launch date with marketing or other real-world tie-ins.

There are easy ways to work around Hey Calendar's rejection, but only if you submit early and are prepared to do the work. Similar to your suggestion, providing a "Demo Mode" where a user can see what the app does without login easily solves the rejection issue. I can say this with confidence as I've done it in the past with an app that is still on the app store.
> the text says it's reverse mode, but it's wrong. what the code in the post implements is forward mode

I see. It's actually worse than both forward and reverse mode.

Let's say you have the simple program x1+x2+x3+x4+x5. Internally the program calculates x6=x1+x2, x7 = x6+x3, x8=x7+x4 and result = x9 = x8+x5. In forward mode you get all the partial derivatives for all intermediate variables w.r.t the inputs x1 through x5, so you get things like dx8/dx2, but you never calculate (or store in memory) dx8/dx6. In reverse mode you get the derivatives of the result w.r.t. all intermediate variables, so things like dx9/dx8, dx9/dx7, etc, but again you never need to calculate dx8/dx6. In this library you calculate recursively all dxj/dxi and store them, as long as xj has a direct or indirect dependency on xi. This is a strict superset of the derivatives calculated in both forward and reverse mode.

Good catch.
Very realpolitik.

But what it says is that it required 24MB of HDD (12MB after installation), and a 386 or equivalent computer. An i386 is quite powerful, to be honest. It even has protected mode!

And, 4MB RAM, which is more than what I had on my 286 laptop back in the day.

It’s called culture. Every culture is different. It takes generations to shape culture.

For Firefox to succeed, it has to differentiate. There are two meaningful ways it does, or will do, in the near future:

1. Mobile extensions: that's a unique value prop

2. Fight for the user: manifest v3, web environment integrity, and whatever comes next are degradations in user experience, and following a different path puts FF apart

When you buy fries at a fast-food restaurant like McDonalds, the fries are served in a little container that is made of paper covered by a thin plastic layer [1]. Microscopic amounts of that plastic will get on the hot fries, and you will ingest it.

The same, of course, holds for other hot food products, like fried chicken, consumed in such containers.

Of course, the overall discussion is about microplastics in grocery store foods, but I think the above is what the thread OP meant.

Just to clarify, are you describing EAP-PEAP or EAP-TTLS wrapping PEAP? I'm still learning a lot of this stuff... but, my understanding is that PEAP doesn't do TLS but TTLS + PEAP does. Right?

Fact remains, though, that users will probably bypass any certificate warnings (if allowed) and send their passwords to rogue APs. EAP-TLS mitigates this. Definitely pros & cons, but that's a clear win for EAP-TLS.

There are a lot of things that'd be nice to see in Wifi. Binding the SSID is an interesting one, though I suspect the folks working on this stuff were reluctant to rely on (and trust) the Web PKI CAs. If you're gonna push your own root cert, you might as well push a RADIUS SAN along with it, I guess.
The analogy between logical AND and multiplication, and logical OR and addition is called Boolean Algebra, and it's very well known.

The analogy is that when you set 1 to true and 0 to false, 1 becomes the identity for AND, and 0 becomes the identity for OR. Just as 1 is the identity for multiplication and 0 is the identity for addition.

X * 0 = 0 | X ^ F = F

X * 1 = X | X ^ T = X

X + 0 = X | X V F = X

X + 1 = ? | X V T = T <-- This one breaks the analogy

With this, you can turn any logical expression into something that looks and feels like normal algebra, with the only weird exception being that both operators distribute over each other:

A * (B + C) = A*B + A*C

A + (B * C) = (A + B) * (A + C)
Oddly I think sideloading should be allowed to prevent grandma from getting scammed. It's just a matter of who's doing the scamming. The criminals might make a big score, but the phone vendors act on a much wider front and are much more costly.
While I've definitely seen the trap you're describing, this isn't it. This is less "solving a social problem with technology" and more "anyone could code if only they didn't need to learn those pesky programming languages". Which is odd to see coming from an engineer who should understand that a programming language is just a precise specification of behavior. I guess the main thought in the blog post is that you don't need to actually specify your problem domain because an LLM can infer the details from context and its training data? Which may be true (at some point) but still doesn't make English a good programming language.

It'd be interesting to see what they'd do. I don't think the legislation existed because the legislature agreed there needs to be a diversity in browser engines as much as they didn't want one company in control of web browsing. If Microsoft and Apple were to submit that they felt they did not feel a loss of control over Edge for being based on Chromium or unfair competition from Chrome in either case I'm not sure Firefox would be kept alive for the sake of source code diversity alone. That said, maybe Microsoft/Apple would not be aligned with supporting Google - though I think they would to protect themselves the same.

Or they might not even care. iPhones have a significantly larger penetration than Firefox on the whole of the EU but they haven't (yet) been even forced to offer a browser selection at all during setup. It'd be interesting to imagine what the regulation would be though. "Google, you must pay more to keep Firefox alive better"?

One thing I'd like to see is more crackdown on "first party browser advertisement" for the lack of a better word. I don't think that'd save Firefox as much as help other browsers though.
> You tell them they are special, and definitely not like animals, and you hold them to a higher standard.

And the important part comes right after this. What happens when you hold them to a higher standard? People then choose to accept or reject the standard, and they live according to their (personal) choice.

If some people accept the higher standard and live by it, they prove that they are special, definitely not like animals. That is free will: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will

This is super interesting. At first, I thought it made sense and was expected since having heads face up vs tails face up are two different throws, but you can just flip it heads face up each time to ensure the experiment is controlled. I wonder how much the toss itself influences the result. A strong toss vs a weak toss, etc.
Control signal wise, you can go for 100+ km on hobby grade batteries and a simple fixed wing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CYJ2UOrlXgM

The set up would probably cost you around 500 USD: $50 for the frame, $150 for the electronics (gps + fc + 2 motors + 2 servos), $50 for a basic analog fpv system, the rest for the batteries.

Depends on the app, but for some apps, the more users, the more your cost per user increases, because of the type of user in each cohort.

Early adopters tend to explore and self-support more. Late majority need more TLC.

The fictional book The Rocket Company, by Patrick J. G. Stiennon and David M. Hoerr, is a basic narrative about creating a space launch services company designed around a two-stage rocket, with both booster and second stage manned by a single pilot each, and able to launch and land fully reusable.

The book has paper-thin characters whose whole purpose is to explain and counter-point a long list of technical explanations for why the company, vehicle, and manufacturing processes were designed the way they were. The book has a copyright date of 2005.

I really enjoyed reading the book.

The book, in the front, has a section called "Blurbs for The Rocket Company", which has some comments left by John Carmack of Armadillo Aerospace, Jeff Foust of The Space Review, Gary C Hudson of HMX, Inc, Eric Laursen of International Launch Services, and Elon Musk.

To quote the blurb directly:
"This is an interesting approach to the greatest problem in space exploration: the cost of getting there"

I'm not sure your point? I admitted that they borrowed a bit. And then your point is that "Steamboat Bill" borrowed? Okay. I guess. But I'm not denying that the filmmakers and artists grab ideas and plots from the collective idea well. I'm saying that they also put in thousands if not millions of hours of work creating the new version.

It's just wrong for the pro piracy crowd to use this as an excuse to justify their theft.

You’re making a good point, but I don’t think this is fair to AirPlay. You don’t need an Apple TV to use AirPlay. My LG TV supports AirPlay. I recently stayed at an Airbnb with a TV running Roku OS. It supported AirPlay as well. Sonos and various other speakers and AV equipment support audio-only AirPlay.

When AirPlay launched in 2010, Google Cast didn’t exist. EDIT: TV manufacturers only started adding AirPlay (now “AirPlay 2”) in 2019. Still, I think it’s reasonable to expect a modern device, without extra hardware, to support AirPlay.
Or

Maybe you don't have all the information because it is not entirely spelled out in the blog post, they have all the engineers they need because they have experience, they already did everything you said but Apple keeps being Apple, and your advice is not needed ?

> With an electric car, I start every day, always, with a full tank.

If you can, that's nice. But that assumes being able to not only charge at home but to have fast charging infrastructure installed at home.

We charge at home but the car doesn't fully charge overnight. That works all right since my partner only commutes every other day. On occasions where two consecutive commute days (or other special trips) come up, there's a lot of range anxiety involved.

> I think EVs give me LESS range anxiety overall.

This is difficult to understand. Sure, it's nice if you can start on full charge at home every morning. Nonetheless, some day you'll need to go farther and then a gas car is inevitably easier and faster to fill up.
It was communist controlled Vietnam which got rid of the Khmer Rouge about 45 years ago ending the genocide in Cambodia, it's entirely unclear what your hypothetical "winning" South Vietnamese government would have done. The US government was still mad enough with Vietnam that it applied more sanctions on Vietnam after Vietnam invaded Cambodia and the other major player (China) supported the Khmer Rouge and invaded Vietnam in retaliation.

First off, you brought up someone being killed as a real world struggle, so don't act like I pulled these real world events out of nowhere and tried to equate it to "brown people" (your words) alluding that I'm racist or something.

Second, my point was to show you that not everything in the real world needs to be depicted directly in kids shows. Not to make an equivalence of those listed things, but to test the consistency of the logic.

Learning morals you can learn how to handle those situations and ideals in the future without being introduced to inappropriate things too early in life.

Yes, an airplane can climb much more efficiently than a rocket. So on a 300km flight where all it is doing is climbing and descending it's way more efficient than a rocket.

But for a 10,000km flight the airplane expends almost all of its fuel coasting rather than climbing.

Luckily we don't have to rely on assertions. If I'm wrong, there should be an obvious error in my math (which is trivial) or facts (which is on Wikipedia). Please point it out.
You're correct. But hey, if Foone can "run Doom" "on a pregnancy test" then why not, in the same sense? ;)
I would argue there were far too few actual previous attempts at reusability. :P

All the while many early concepts from the dawn of the space age often had some sort of partial or even full reusability as part of the design.

Did it not pan out as other things suggested back then as it was not realistic with the technology of the time ?

Or was it perhaps due to usable space rockets mainly developing from ICBMs, which were single use munitions ? The military was also not that cost sensitive, especially at the top of the Cold War + possibly pushing on putting stuff to space sooner than the other side, instead of experimenting with some newfangled reusability concepts.

Well, in any case good thing this is over & things are finally at the right track. :)
I totally feel this. Since I got my m1 air I have to constantly monitor my laptop's cpu and ram usage, because otherwise I get no feedback at all of what is going on in my computer. I never had the concept to constantly monitor these unless something was wrong. If something was overtaxing the cpu, I would hear the fans. Now, sometimes I only notice that it has gone hot to the touch after quite a while. If I messed up with memory management or forgotten some dozens of tabs open while running memory-heave computations, the OS would start lagging. Now, mostly I can only notice if I check the swap memory used.
At first glance, I was kinda lost when I saw only 7bit in use. My 8bit OCD kicked it.

I still have kind of mixed feelings about a website that does not use bit lengths that are powers of 2.
