Funnily enough, just listening to high pitched noises reduces my tinnitus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUZOSg3a1rk

it turns out it's a "phantom limb" problem of hearing - when your high pitch hearing ability decreases, you start to have phantom sounds "fill in the blanks" at the frequency it got worse at

you can test it yourself by generating sine waves and seeing when your hearing becomes worse

https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

mine drops off at 12.5KHz and goes almost completely silent above 16KHz

the tinnitus frequency is about 13Khz!

Trying to listen to quiet noises between 12Khz and 16Khz trained me to be more sensitive to those sounds and to generate less tinnitus

> Loud noises, then “You’re gonna fall off . . . you’re gonna fall off”

This one is pretty clever. Not aggressive or threatening, just good old psychological manipulation. Reminds me of John Mulaney's bit on 8th graders.
In the same way that call of duty is just a Unity wrapper, yeah...
The whole "cgo is not Go" bashing is a kind of joke, maybe if Go 2 ever comes to light, one of the first breaking changes should be to remove cgo.

There, beautiful Go code from that point onwards.

No. Otoferlin is the protein encoded by the OTOF gene. I wish science journalists would be more science literal.
It's an application, not a library.
I am working on exposing the difficulty for every problem. With a larger problem set and an ability to filter by difficulty, this problem can be solved I think.

One of the ideas that came up in feedback is that I could have an AI driven experience to walk a user through the question's topic and give enough pointers to eventually arrive at a solution. I am still thinking about the best way to approach this problem in general.

Thanks for the feedback!
Not only linear algebra operations, had it not been for Docker and K8s successes...
Well, a few generations after all types of congenital deafness are treatable. The gene therapy in the article so far only treats one, fairly uncommon, genetic cause.
Dear Edwin, I forwarded the email to your email address just now. Thank you so much.
The second movie showed the main villain’s entire game plan was to “catch them all”, and that he was inspired to capture the Legendary Bird Trio because of a Mew trading card, so there was definitely some amazing self-reflection going on back then. Nowadays the Pokémon movies are just ads for the merch of that Pokémon, rather than an interesting story + merch ads.
I am quite sure aCC and xlC don't have them.
You're going to resist this, but your cynicism here is a lot closer to “ugh why didn’t he create this with me in mind?” than you think.

Just consider for a second that you’re commenting on a blog post about two people who were compelled by the project to contribute some good work to it.

Yet your reaction is to come here and tell us about how another website doesn't live up to your standards or something, and I bet you thought the quote by quote takedown was quite scathing. ;)
I actually did exactly this, plugging the questions into Google and seeing the step-by-step answer. I found this useful.
Organizations that debate everything and do nothing are afraid of other people being upset with them for doing the wrong thing.

Organizations that do nothing until someone else tells them what to build are afraid of sticking their necks out for some dominant manager to just ignore them anyway.

This is why executives and managers are recommended to foster psychological safety. Respect the efforts of people who built some skunkworks project, then discuss realignment with them afterwards (understanding that you, the executive, may need to be the one who re-aligns). Encourage people who never stick their necks out to start to tell you what they think, even if only privately at first, and eventually hopefully they'll start to join the discussion too.

There's a lot of talk about clarifying who exactly the decision-maker is in any situation. It's a nice fantasy to think that the decision-maker should always be some kind of manager or executive, but the truth is, if you issue a dictate from on high to someone to do something that they deeply disagree with, eventually everybody's going to leave. That's not the way you lead people. Ultimately, the person who does the work is the person who decides - all that you can ask from them, as a manager, is for them to listen to you (and other stakeholders) first, especially since someone who never does as they're asked is someone who will, sooner or later, get fired. But no manager can truly control the actions of their subordinates, and the wise manager understands that and channels that into productive workers who are mostly (but never fully!) aligned with the organization.

Java as well, unfortunelly it will be kept around as preview until Valhala arrives (if ever).
Why do you spend weeks adding something instead of directly testing all the later hypotheses?
The PLA literally killed 500 thousand people in Changchun to liberate the city from the KMT. Mao and much of the past was a dead topic until Xi brought it all back to the forefront. I was really shocked that someone who suffered from the cultural revolution would worship Mao so much, even if he was effectively a princeling.
Same here. It's the first time I've ever seen it.

Oh, you poor things.
Why would self-driving cars not have a great mathematical model?

Or do you mean that the models are either black boxes (like deep learning) that we don't understand, and the white box models are not good enough?
You have no idea how long the tail of legacy MR-based daily stat aggregation workflows is in BigCorps.

The batch daily log processor jobs will last longer than Fortran. Longer than Cobol. Longer than earth itself.

Yes, I understand deeply. I work in commerce.

The farmers market vendors accept payments because consumers expect it, and consumers expect it because it's a great service.

It's weird because it means they have their fingers in the pockets of even tiny local interactions like that. Vendors love having easy payments sure, but I've yet to meet a vendor happy about losing 3%+ of their margins because consumers expect it.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not admonishing her for eventually doing the right thing. I’m glad her conscience took hold and that poor man could live out his twilight years in peace.

It’s the author of the article I’m more bothered by. I’ve seen less heaped on praise and weepiness for people who died stopping mass shooters.
You are right. That's why you want to avoid doing science, when you can.

Ideally, you want to be solving engineering problems instead.
The real tragedy is that so much of our design ideas around safety and human factors was first documented by the original aviation industry between.

Detecting life would still be a small sample size.

You’d need to detect life or rule it out on a variety of planet sizes, ages and compositions at a variety of distances around a variety of star types, ages and sizes at varying locations in the galaxy before we’d have enough data to make confident predictions.
(2nd user & developer of spark here). It depends on what you ask.

MapReduce the framework is proprietary to Google, and some pipelines are still running inside google.

MapReduce as a concept is very much in use. Hadoop was inspired by MapReduce. Spark was originally built around the primitives of MapReduce, and you see still see that in the description of its operations (exchange, collect). However, spark and all the other modern frameworks realized that:

- users did not care mapping and reducing, they wanted higher level primitives (filtering, joins, ...)

- mapreduce was great for one-shot batch processing of data, but struggled to accomodate other very common use cases at scale (low latency, graph processing, streaming, distributed machine learning, ...). You can do it on top of mapreduce, but if you really start tuning for the specific case, you end up with something rather different. For example, kafka (scalable streaming engine) is inspired by the general principles of MR but the use cases and APIs are now quite different.

I see the logic, but it feels rooted in a sort of state of extreme denial, based on a false starting premise. Deafness, in our world, is a disability. Not being able to hear does actually exclude you from a lot of things that us hearing folks take for granted for the most part. I think it's amazing that so many deaf people are able to function in the world as well as they can. They should be proud of what they've accomplished.

But... man, no no no no. And it's not just communication, either. Like... deliberately denying a child the opportunity to hear birdsong, raindrops landing on a roof, the crashing of ocean waves, their cat purring and meowing at them. Hell, being able to listen to human-made music, more than just feeling the vibrations if it's loud enough and the speakers are on the floor. That's criminally abusive.

If parents had a child with normal hearing, and deliberately damaged it to make the child deaf, we'd call that abuse. Why is refusing a treatment to restore hearing not at least in the same ballpark?
Well, if Tesla announces it for mid-2025, they may start producing it in real numbers by 2030, but most probably never.

At this point, their timelines and announcements are a complete joke. And I'm not even talking about the faked FSD video from 2016 - for which Dan O'Dowd posted here a quite ironic comment: https://twitter.com/RealDanODowd/status/1749933238985110000#...

How is the Tesla Semi ramp going (released >1 ago, still absolutely no leaks about it specs) ?

Cybertruck (released ~2 months ago, with a supposedly 2 million reservations, but people that were estimated 100k in the queue already got some) ?

Tesla Dojo Cluster (which was supposed to be top 5 'in the entire World') by now ?

I hate to be the pessimist, but at this point, it's very clear that they are intentionally lying.

Apple Glasses is something they should already be working on and releasing sooner then later. Meta's most recent released Smart Glasses are solid and work solid especially for taking pictures and videos (just using them to film my ski runs this weekend; use them few times a week as my sunglasses and to snap pics). The smart features on this latest addition aren't terribly reliable though and need user experience work (i.e. audio just starts playing an inopportune times.. annoying).
One thing is for sure, whoever made that thing got laid more than the average.
GP seems to be saying that you can flag individual functions in GCC, thereby avoiding this issue: only flagged functions would be compiled with fast math semantics.
Interesting to see that electric grids end at many country borders, e.g. China has just a handful of ties with Russia, none with Kazakhstan. India and Pakistan have no connections, just as India & Thailand. Pakistan has no connections with Iran. Vietnam & Laos border is clearly visible too.

There's still a visible border between East Block and their Western neighbors in Europe, and a little bit of exUSSR border (e.g. Belarus & Poland).
Seems sensible. Even if the furbie by design weren’t spying, they definitely could have been used as such.

No non-agency bought assets or assets which are not screened completely should never be in their offices. Toy or not.

I'm not sure it's as simple as you make it sound.

Lots of problems have very simple solutions. And progress often means finding simpler solutions over time.

But coming up with those solutions, and debugging them, is what's hard.

For a comparison, have a look at how pistols got simpler over the last two hundred years. Have a look at the intricate mechanism of the P08 Luger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9adOzT_qMq0 and compare it to a modern pistol of your choice. (And the P08 Luger is already pretty late invention.)

Or have a look at modern Ikea furniture, which can be assembled and understood by untrained members of the general public. But designing new Ikea furniture is much harder.
Yup same. Also I hate the "just strip it" advice. I don't know who on earth strips random binaries and has them actually work fine afterward 100% of the time. Stripping after linking frequently breaks binaries I try it on.
Yes, but the type of GWAS-based reports they offer not very well suited to uncover medical conditions like this.
Meta quite likely also subsidize their headset. They follow the console market plan of getting money back on software sales, but a big issue has been incredibly low user retention.

With low retention, every sold device is likely costing them.
Initial binary size, like of a hello world, is a great indicator of how much abstraction the language has that youre also paying for.

For example, java has to set up a constants pool, parse it from the classfile, run init and cinit, resolve references, allocatea a frame, and so on, just to get to the entrypoint.

Compared to C without stdlib which needs to basically just run a few bytes to syscall write().

There are obviously massive advantages to Java for which these steps are needed, but you do pay for it.
thanks, this gives more conviction to the idea! also, what type of questions are you interested more in? there are many topics I could cover over time but I am looking to prioritize which ones to do first.
Sophie Wilson also mentions Firepath in several of her YouTube lectures.
> There's already several copycat franchises that are obvious knock-offs of Pokemon, the biggest of which is probably Digimon.

Yeah no. The only thing similar about them is the name and that they are monster-based games. Art is HEAVILY distinct, gameplay is distinct (original V-Pets were LED toy monster care simulators while Pokémon was rip-off Shin Megami Tensei with Dragon Quest designs), and the animes cannot even be compared (Pokémon is episodic with very little plot, Digimon Adventure is a monster-of-the-week with dedicated character growth episodes and an overarching plot that features the pains of divorce, adoption, child abuse, and finally growing up from the eyes of children.)

So to wrap this all back to Palworld, it’s different than Digimon because Palworld is mimicking Pokémon while Digimon did its own thing.
Wikimapia has some of those, with links or sometimes descriptions with photos.

Yeah, I’m working on a test framework to try the various permutations to see what works.

And for me to get a feel for it.
> Itanium is designed for a machine with three execution units and each instruction pack has up to three instructions, one for each of them.
The design was that each bundle had some extra bits including a stop which was a sort of barrier to execution. The idea was that you could have a series of bundles with no stop bit and the last one would set it. That meant the whole series could be safely scheduled on a future wide IA64 machine. Of course that meant the compiler had to be explicit about that parallelism (hence EPIC) but future machines would be able to schedule on the extra execution units.
This also addressed the problem where VLIW traditionally would require re-compilation to run/run more efficiently on newer hardware.

> Due to not having register renaming, VLIW architectures conventionally have a large register file (128 registers in the case of the Itanium). This slows down context switches, further reducing performance. Out-of-order CPUs can cheat by having a comparably small programmer-visible state, with most of the state hidden in the bowels of the processor and consequently not in need of saving or restoring.

Itanium borrowed the register windows from SPARC. It was effectively a hardware stack that had a minimum of 128 physical registers but were referenced in instructions by 6 bits — e.g. 64 virtual registers, iirc.
So you could make a function call and the stack would push. And a return would pop. Just like SPARC execept they weren't fixed-sized windows.

That said, the penalty for spilling the RSE (They called this part the Register Stack Engine) for say, an OS context switch was quite heavy since you'd have to write the whoe RSE state to memory.

It was pretty cool reading about this stuff as a new grad.

> Another enginering issue was that x86 simulation on the Itanium performed quite poorly, giving existing customers no incentive to switch.

As I mentioned in my previous comment Merced had a tiny corner of the chip devoted to the IVE, Intel Value Engine which was meant to be the very simple 32-bit x86 chip meant mainly for booting the system. The intent was (and the docs also had sample code) to boot, do some set up of system state, and then jump into IA64 mode where you would actually get a fast system.

I think they did devote more silicon to x86 support but I had already served my very short time at HP and Merced still took 2+ years to tape out.
Thanks for the update, didn't know they were acquired by MyHeritage in 2019.

I was working in Goldman Sachs's 'Fixed income, currency and commodities' division for a while. Commonly referred to as FICC internally. Which gave me some pause as a German.
Well, I do want to know more about how it works. Anything important I will teach myself, it’s just hard to justify the time investment during work hours when the robot does it. Which I think is also important: these tools save time, but with downsides.
My local cinema actually allows this but the cart-session is tied to the user session so when you share it the page goes to readonly mode where only the time and chosen seats are visible.
Obviously writing software with bugs in it shouldn’t be illegal, unless in violation of the SLA.

But knowing this and lying about it, as was done by the Postal Service, Fujitsu management and insurance companies, most definitely should.

You shouldn’t be liable for mistakes, but you should be liable for malcontent
They cannot uphold article 1 on their own account, without international support and they're not a signatory.

You need to show that the intent of Israel is to destroy the Palestinian people in Gaza, even partially. What I see is the attempt of Israel to prevent more October 7 attacks, which Hamas declared it is going to repeat. The actual goal here is to protect Israel's own citizens from genocide, which Hamas has shown willingness to commit and ability (albeit in a smaller scale currently).

I think it is perfectly valid for a country to protect its own citizen from being burned alive among many other atrocities that were committed, which is also one of the reasons the genocide convention was created in the first place.

As this is war, it's also causing immense suffering in the Palestinian side. Which is why a war to remove Hamas from power was constantly deferred in the past, knowing they are highly entrenched in the civilian population. However, I don't think they left Israel any other way this time.
This is basically Bayes rule: the probability we have an accurate test given perfect conditions.

But what is the baseline rate of perfect conditions? If it's less than 1, then our "posterior" probability will not be one in a trillion anymore, but something far less.
This is already standard in upscale new cars. My 3 year old Subaru SUV has this built in to the Subaru Mobile app. GM OnStar has been doing this for a decade plus.
That’s almost never the case, though. Imagine if a C binary statically linked in libc. Adding a page full of more C to its code would only grow it a tiny amount.

Hello! Thanks for sharing. This seems like a great resource, and I love that it is open-sourced; I could find myself wanting to help develop this further, as I also have some appreciation for math, and also cherish the idea of having somewhere to find good exercises to tackle.

Not in the spirit of spoiling the fun or bring any unnecessary tension, I can't help asking: considering that these exercises are being scraped from .pdf sources, would you consider having the source for any given exercise? Of course, it brings problems of exposing possibly copyrighted material. I'm just wondering what your stance is on that.
See my other comment replying to that.
I was surprised at the rivers in the middle of the Sahara.

But upon zooming in on Google satellite view, I do see dry riverbeds in those places, and even the occasional tree along the route of the 'river', so I guess occasionally there must be a storm and those rivers become wet and flow.
Git works fine with petabyte-scale projects and handles 100+ gigabyte files totally fine with some modest scripting.

For one of the projects I oversee a typical file size is about 8gb each and a handful are about 140gb. What we version with Git are a list of the files in ion (superset of JSON) so the 8gb files aren't "in" Git but just referred to via hashes by what is committed in Git. These files are accessed via CephFS and rsync. We have "server side" hashing of these files via SSH. All of the relevant scripts are in Git hooks.

Someone (external to our team) once commented that what I just described is "too complicated" and "not friendly for developer speed". Yeah, well, we don't hire stupid people so.. "thank you for your interest in this opportunity, we have decided to pursue other candidates at this time".

Not necessarily either. Think of the Audacity fiasco. We were very comfortable using the Debain package but not their Flatpack and obviously not the snap. I realise I'm replying to a subtext but the context is the same.
There is always some place on Earth where it's windy, where the sun shines, where it's summer. I have no idea if transporting such high loads on a global grid is feasible (let's say Australia's summer sun powering Europe in winter nights) but that probably works better in a peaceful world.
To be fair, chip design has both of these problems to a much greater degree than machine learning:

- Exponentially Difficult Debugging

- Delayed Debugging Cycles

How does this differ from Azure Document Intelligence, or are they effectively the same thing?
This deserves to be in the second chance pool.
I didn’t claim it was. I merely said both peer reviewers and people disproving results ought to get paid more.

Peer reviewers usually don’t even get paid at all, and getting funding for trying to replicate results is often non-existent, meaning at best it gets done by a couple of undergrads
It doesn't help the earth cool down faster, it actually traps energy for longer in metabolic processes. But it does red shift it. The film of muck on the surface that we call life lowers the planet's albedo and the radiation that shines out of it is of a longer wavelength than if it were just reflected.
