I haven't really used Windows for anything serious in more than 20 years (and I recently had to mess with Windows 11 and it was terrible), but I'm not sure you'd be very happy going back to Windows 3.1. It was a 16 bit system

"disk dump" is another common (but wrong) guess.

I still do that at least once a week. Along with "tar xzpvf" or more complex invocations like: tar cvf - -C /foo/bar baz | zstd > foo.tar.zstd

It looks like X was deliberately chosen to denote succession of W, not clashing with it: "The name X derives from the lineage of the system. At Stanford University, Paul Asente and Brian Reid had begun work on the W window system

16 kHz is very high on the spectrum. Just the normal age-related decline of hearing makes that inaudible pretty quickly, you don’t need to drive with the window down for that.

Ah, lots of supposedly solid state computer stuff, including CPUs, did that. I, too, used it for debugging. This wasn't very conscious on my part, but if some whine became unusual and constant, it was often a sign of something hanging.

That famous QNX boot disk was the first thing I thought of when reading the title as well.

Are you saying that while we do see evidence that September, October, November, December were once the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month, we don't see any evidence that the calendar was ever "10 months long"? (How would that have

Still the same dichotomy. Who's to say his other pursuits are "meaningless", and the likes of crosswords, sudoku, etc.? For all we know he might have some other projects that he considers more useful. He does not think workin

That's quite a dichotomy here. He can exercise his brain and ward off cognitive decline without working on Colorforth specifically...

I'm sorry, but I don't think that makes sense, and that it's pretty obvious that it doesn't. I don't have experience with cocaine, but as a Bavarian I made plenty of experience with alcohol. I've never been add

Putting aside that they are not optimized but just happen to have an effect, would you claim that these are the only things that affect happiness/its relevant chemicals?

By that logic, "How does loved one dying affect different type of hormones, if at all. Given how sensitive our hormones are, it would be difficult to control only for 'loss of a loved one'". If you have depression or ano

Technically correct, but if that's what you reduce it to, why did you bother to reply? You only changed some light patterns on a bunch of atoms.

It's a good question, but as elaborated in a sibling comment, I'm not sure it even matters in this case. (Sampling frequency vs. sampling the sound wave itself.)
138.
by anyfoo 11mo ago
Even if they do (and I honestly have no idea), isn't it the frequency , i.e. the output of the basilar membrane in the ear, and not a sample in time of the actual sound wave which would correspond to a short-time frequency transform,

I'd say the title is like that (and I agree with someone else's assessment of it being clickbait-y). I think the actual article does a pretty good job in distinguishing a lot of these transforms, and honing into which one matche

by anyfoo 11mo ago
Agree on the click-baity part, but as for being wrong ... not if we're really pedantic. As you've said, Gabor and wavelet are basically generalizations of the Fourier Transform, not actually Fourier Transforms. Just like FS/
141.
by anyfoo 11mo ago
Yes, but the article specifically says that it isn't like a short-time fourier transform either, but more like a wavelet transform, which is different yet again.
142.
by anyfoo 11mo ago
Since we're being pedantic, there is some confusion of ideas here (even though you do make a valid overall point), and the strawman may not be as ridiculous. First, I think when you say FFT, you mean DFT. A Fourier transform is both no

Maybe you'll get a kick out of this, I did it in a bored afternoon a while back: echo -ne '\e[8;32;90;t';n=20;t=524292;l=$((t-1));m=$((2**n-1));c=0;xs=(1);ys=(1);for ((i=0;i<n*m;i++));do b=$((l&1));l=$(((l>&gt

And you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct anyway.

Yeah, the mains frequency qualifies, if you explicitly use that. (Doesn't solve the problem if you want them to be in sync phase-wise, i.e. blink at the same time or similar, but at least they won't drift apart, which was what thi

Well, yeah. I was sort of assuming that you won't use a TCXO or even just a cheapo quartz crystal, because it doesn't make a lot of sense: You've now thrown money at something that will relatively quickly desync anyway. I mea

by anyfoo 11mo ago
If they don't sync to a common clock source, they won't stay in sync for long. Probably not even for a few minutes or so. You'd get the same phenomenon that you see when operating turn signals in traffic. They seem to weave &

Not that coincidental. tom7 is mentioned in the article itself, and in his video's heartbreaking conclusion, he mentions the work presented in the article at the end. tom7 was working on proving the same thing!

A few early CPUs (famously including the 6502) were fully reverse engineered through "ordinary" die photos, and they even have gate-level simulators now where you can basically see the individual transistors switching: http:&#x2F
