You're mixing up the two filters. The pre-sample filter (before ADC) is defined to be a brickwall (of course impossible in practice, so in reality, it will have to start going off a bit before 20 kHz); the reconstruction filter (after DAC) has a roll-off.

It was speculated as a possibility by that article, but then it was looked into by others, quite thoroughly, and the narrative fell apart. That happens, you know.

Surprisingly, I only came across Francesco's blog this month. I stumbled upon the 2021 post "Speeding up atan2f by 50x" while searching for others who have to reimplement trigonometry in SIMD every other year. I've also enjoyed "Beating the L1 cache with value speculation" from the same year, as well as the 2013 Agda sorting example.

Highly recommend checking it out: https://mazzo.li/archive.html

There are indeed many powerful motives supporting the march of technological authoritarianism. But validating the narratives about why ever-more control is needed is a form of support, which we should avoid doing.

Rather we need to recognize that they're merely instances of the same old authoritarian fallacy of more control promising better outcomes, because what increased control ends up ruining cannot be enumerated. In actuality, reducing independent autonomy stifles invention and suffocates society.

"Anti-scraping" is a dubious problem in the context of web sites aimed at publishing information. The best "anti-scraping" solution is a published API that includes bulk downloads. I'll admit there's a tiny sliver of sites for which controlling consumption might make sense, but it's certainly not ones that allow browsing without even logging in.

Is this an algorithm in the family of "2D bin packing"?

As for packing sprites for games... I remember the fun on very constrained devices where many of the sprites where actually more round than square. So it was about packing both rectangles (for tiles and "rectangle" sprites) and packing circles too. The size of the spritesheet had to be kept small but in memory things were okay'ish (as in: a "round" sprite could be extracted from the spritesheet in its own rectangle).

Thankfully thing is: this can be done with a much more powerful machine than the device the sprite sheet shall eventually be on.
Sequelitis and remakes have persuaded me that some people really want intellectual baby food. I'm worried that the majority really just wants content to pass the time. Let's hope creative indie movies will continue to flourish, as we may just end up depending on them.

EU as a whole has actually been weak in terms of military capability and perhaps also civil defence. The end of the Cold War and the long peace had allowed a lot of us to believe that there wouldn't be a foreseeable risk of military conflict or a need to seriously prepare against aggression. Many European countries cut back significantly on their military spending and capability. And that seemed like a reasonable and popular thing to do given the circumstances.
(Countries in Eastern Europe were perhaps the exception and didn't cut back, at least not so much.)

The problem is that defensive capability cannot be just built all of a sudden if it turns out to be needed after all.

Of course the reason that has become a problem is Putin's aggression and authoritarian rule.

But Europe has indeed been weak in the sense of not having maintained defensive capability. Perhaps that is, both fortunately and unfortunately, changing. (Fortunately for obvious reasons, unfortunately because it means significant spending on something that should not be necessary even though it is.)

Hopefully EU societies will remain strong and resilient in the sense they've been strong all along: strong civil society and democracy.

ISP issued home routers have a remote update procedure, enabled by default. At least that's how it works out in France.

Starting from there (to be checked), shortage of equipment is not a thing: most routers are programmable computers, all we need to do is update the software to something that doesn't suck. And best of all, the customer doesn't even have to know. They just wake up one morning, and as if by magic, their Zoom/Meets/Hangouts calls suddenly work better.

Now if most home routers are not updated by the ISP… my condolences to your country I guess.

Edit: OK, real question: how does home routing actually work in the US? Who is responsible for what equipment, and for the ISP issued equipment, are there any relevant remote update capabilities, and if so are ISPs actually competent at doing updates?

A Decidable Case of Query Determinacy: Project-Select Views
In that case the US would be allowed to send aid to some other government to strike Russia (they're currently doing this with Ukraine but for a separate reason, for Ukraine's self-defense...)

Or in an ideal world, the US pays Syria more to not attack them, maybe even gets them to sign a treaty and commits to building Syria's economy and protecting them so they don't feel compelled to take Russian bribes. Although, it's certainly not so straightforward, prior US involvements in foreign countries have been disasters so it would have to be different somehow...

There are many other ways Russia could attack NATO that would be very hard to prove or evenly-counter. Russia could create a culture of NATO hatred and aggression, then set up "rewards" that are given out for obscure reasons, to get Russian NGOs and citizens to attack NATO in their own will. Then NATO can only encourage citizens to attack Russia, which I don't think any treaties forbid anyways, and creating a culture of hate is bad for other reasons. It's not a foolproof system.

But like for this event, there's evidence beyond reasonable doubt that the Russian government is directly involved (https://www.newsweek.com/russia-pipeline-gas-patrushev-putin...). And there are other ways NATO can weaken Russia's influence without even attacking them, like not trading with them, and (indirectly, by having a more liberal government) encouraging Russian citizens to emigrate.
Sometimes the alternative blows up in your face though.
There have been a couple times in the past where I’ve run into an issue marked as WONT FIX and then resolved it on my end (because it was luckily an open source project). If the ticket were still open, it would have been trivial to put up a fix, but instead it was a lot more annoying (and in one of the cases, I just didn’t bother). Sure, maybe the issue is so low priority that it wouldn’t even be worth reviewing a fix, and this doesn’t apply for closed source projects, but otherwise you’re just losing out on other people doing free fixes for you.
Ask HN: Recruiters, why do you repost jobs with 1000 applications a month later?
The majority of jobs on LinkedIn right now seem to be reposts of jobs from a month or two ago.

You can see from the application data that each role that's been reposted already has hundreds of applicants, which implies that it did last month as well.

Why would you repost a role vs just going through the 1000 applications you received last time?

What is the reasoning there?

Weird that this is so doom and gloom, the world's most popular browser decoupled from the ad machine. What's not to love? People champion Firefox and Brave constantly and they're independent browsers.
That’s what they mean by “force” - if this does happen, the government will have a hand in the behind-closed-door negotiations with potential buyers.

I wonder what the easiest to prove example of a, b irrational with a^b rational is?

The easiest I can think of offhand would be e^log(2). To prove that we need to prove that e is irrational and the log(2) is irrational.

To prove log(2) is irrational one approach is to prove that e^r is irrational for rational r != 0, which would imply that if log(2) is rational then e^log(2) would be irrational. To prove that e^r is irrational for irrational r it suffices to prove that e^n is irrational for all positive integers n.

We'd also get the e is irrational out of that by taking n = 1, and that would complete our proof that e^log(2) is an example of irrational a, b with a^b rational.

So, all we need now is a proof that e^n is irrational for integers n > 0.

The techniques used in Niven's simple proof that pi is irrational, which was discussed here [1], can be generalized to e^n. You can find that proof in Niven's book "Irrational Numbers" or in Aigner & Ziegler's "Proofs from THE BOOK".

That can also be proved by proving that e is transcendental. Normally proofs that specific numbers are transcendental (other than numbers specifically constructed to be transcendental) are fairly advanced but for e you can do it with first year undergraduate calculus. There's a chapter in Spivak's "Calculus" that does it, and there's a proof in the aforementioned "Irrational Numbers".

Sure, both major gas producers.

Why did Europe need Russian gas at all, when there's clearly so much right under-foot? Obviously the 'invisible hand' of the market will fetch the gas from where it's fracked.

And lol, I did misread China for Cinia. oops.

But the argument is the same. The western govts. and media are filling everyone's head with 'evil Russian saboteur spyships' when there's no evidence of history, intent, or even capability.

I highly suspect this case will be a dragged net, or other 'normal' cause, but if it's malicious, imho the culprit is far more likely that nation that has it's fingers in everyone's pie, for commercial, geopolitical or political reasons.

For example, it wouldn't at all surprise me that they first escalated the Ukrain war by sanctioning a missile attack on Russia with their missiles, then cut some cables to make it look like Russian retaliation, priming us all for further escalation. Just cutting some cables does not seem like Russian mo to me.

Someone should escort the senile old cold-warmonger out of the whitehouse before the brass pupeteer him to escalate too far. I can imagine they're keen to see some 'decisive movement' before Trump shuts the show down.

Peak load without solar is not midday. Here's an NYT article from 1975 about introduction of Time of Use billing describing peak rates being in the morning and evening:

> Mrs. Wells changed her housework habits because for part of the year it costs her more than six times as much to use electricity from 8 A.M. to 11 A.M. and 5 P.M. to 9 P.M. as it costs during the rest of the day.

Current CAISO data shows that overall demand still peaks in the late afternoon to early evening. I picked a day in mid-august, and demand at 7pm is 40% higher (39GW) than at solar noon of 1pm (29GW).

War and survival are communal activities. Tight dense communities tend to do better as people can support each other. Isolated dwellings are just ridiculously vulnerable in comparison.

I don't know: then you just end up with the videogame equivalent of the MCU which, at my most charitable, I would describe as uneven reaching mid at best. However, if we look at the median of how I feel about MCU, I'm just bored to tears with it. It's utter bilge. You just end up with this meaningless churning out of endless content for content's sake that goes nowhere and signifies nothing. Destiny 2 is actually a great example of this in the world of videogames.
Very few companies would be able to manage a gigantic project like Chromium.

I happen to be poking around the Chromium codebase the last few days. The size of the codebase itself is at the same level as all of our company's code. Something as important and critical as GPU rendering is only a small part of the entire project. You also have v8, ChromeOS, ANGLE etc to worry about, all requiring experts in those areas. Not to mention things like Widevine and other proprietary technology surrounding Chrome.

Git is a block chain in which successive data entries (commits) include the hash of the predecessor in the data such that the entire data set can be verified against data corruption by recomputing the hash codes of each successive entry and comparing the final hash code with the separately recorded latest hash code for the data set.

Other sequential data sets use this efficient consistency check, for example the Kafka log files do this.

In contrast, cryptocurrencies for example Bitcoin, use block chains whose hash codes are crypographically (slowly) calculated so that it is practically impossible to corrupt the data to arrive at a given hash code.

Git and Kafka use very efficient hash codes that do not have this anti-hacker feature. They only detect ordinary corruption from example missing, duplicated or garbled data as opposed to malicious data falsification.

"Blockchain" in common speech has the meaning of cryptographic block chain and that is why Git is not ordinarily considered to be a "Blockchain" despite it having data blocks whose verification is performed by chained (efficient non-cryptographic) hash functions.

People gravitate towards Chrome in part because of Google’s heavy marketing of it. Whenever I sign into Gmail in Safari I get a pop up about a “better experience” awaiting me.
Just a note: The map doesn't even show all the cables. There are some missing, there are a lot of these cables lying around.
Not yet, no. Give it a decade.
I genuinely have no idea what "missing features" or incompatibilities keep people on Chrome compared to the benefits of uBlock just plain working better on Firefox.
Trust me, I feel the same way. The problem with these things is that you end up building a company because you get so much conviction that what you're doing is the right thing for customers, and you end up shocked that this isn't the default for everyone.
A big driver for the high salaries of medical doctors in the U.S. is the staggering educational debt their degrees leave them with. Is it the same in Sweden? Some degree of wage depression is practically inevitable if we had more doctors, but I wonder how much that could be offset with affordable education?
Great question! Full disclosure, answer copied from a another comment:

It's similar to JuiceFS, but JuiceFS writes and reads data from S3 in a proprietary block format. This means that you cannot connect JuiceFS to existing data sets in S3, and you cannot use data written through JuiceFS from the S3 API directly. On the other hand, Regatta reads and writes data to S3 using it's native format -- so you can do these things!

Buying the browser should come with most of the engineers that actively work on it, or at least the ones with most experience working on it, maybe even give them a tiny part of the shares of whatever company gets to own it, or perhaps with a contract for at least for a couple of years (and then could return to Google or whatever), and if possible include some incentives to make them focus on working on security bugs over new features, which tbh I think there is just too many every year.
But I don't see how that equates to a monopoly. They certainly have the ability to direct their development of their product in the way that they want. Since the core foundation of their product is open and available to every other competing browser they could implement better privacy protections while still leveraging all of the other benefits of Chrome.

If the edge browser was so much better and much better privacy wise or the kiwi browser or any of the others the internet can move fairly quickly from one choice to another when that choice is better. For all the downsides that Chrome has I don't see anything that fits the term better for my use case. I'm also guessing that most other users also haven't found anything "better"
firefox gets along fine

how it could exist without getting money for setting the default search engine is certainly a question though
A much better decision would have been to require them to fund some amount of the various open source competitors so there can be alternatives. Makes as much sense as forcing them to sell a thing that has no market.

"Selling" off chrome is probably not even really possible in any reasonable business way.
How would they even sell it, chrome is based off of chromium. What is there to sell exactly? You can already fork chromium
MI300 also have decent performance in FP16 (~108 TFLOPS). Not as good as NVIDIA, but it's getting there. Anyone has experience using these on JAX? Support is said to be decent, but no idea if it's good enough for research-oriented tasks, i.e. stable enough for training and inference.
