I really liked the Airpod Pros until I started to associate their use with worsening tinnitus. Now I'm trying big headphones with no ANC. But I definitely don't have any solutions.

This is just conjecture, but I think tinnitus is caused by vibration of the inner ear that doesn't come from the eardrum. The inner ear is designed to be resonant for audio frequencies, and the earplugs contain them, maybe too much. Ju

Long ago. See the hash rate chart and guess when that might have happened. Hint: long before they were offered for sale.

Got massively worse after a few days of use for me. I also used them with earplugs because I didn't understand tinnitus.

I’ve met him a few times at small conferences and my ex used to babysit for him. I think he’s quite playful actually, in a very focused intellectual sort of way. He often goes extempore and makes contemporary jokes out of his presentations.

Should this use M0? These numbers are more like boaUSD, citiUSD, wfUSD, meaning non-reserve deposits in a protocol.

Until photonic processors become cheap, and then it’s a keccak-256 ASIC. Silicon wafers at 90nm quality are already quite cheap, but actually, a photonic waveguide can be made out of doped glass or grown on any substrate. Also, the 3D integ

This seems like the most relevant anecdote in this thread. When I talk to friends about how they interview, it’s never about skills. Some say they’re not actually hiring, but they interview experts for free advice. If they are desperate, th

I would like to see a promo video that is nothing but climbers doing weird climber things using completely unintelligible climber lingo, and then just a blank screen with the url. (not expert, should probably ignore)

Personally I think we’ll soon discover that what we’re doing in ‘quantum’ is indistinguishable from classical analog at that frequency and noise temperature, and that will also be the point where it becomes broadly useful and scalable.

The miners can easily stop this, and they will if the users suggest even a tiny bit of infungible preference. I’m not sure that government can control this, although I’m sure they will try, but some authority may be needed to coordinate inf

I forgot the 80-character limit. Because of word-wrap, and the tendency for editors like notepad to save the newlines it adds, the 80-character limit came into fashion. People that write long chains of functional code also like tabs. This f

I’d like to understand why the entire media and government were so intent on ridicule of any such inquiry. (Perhaps even more so why the usual virtue signaling crowd on social media was parroting this, but that’s a different phenomenon). Th

Who is “we”? The line of thinking that starts with COVID19 and ends with violence against grandmothers seems so preposterous that it should be tested objectively to see if it exists. There are reports of huge increases in hate crimes during

Why does so much effort go into tracking and managing programmers? Does the customer care? Does it actually improve quality or delivery? Is it really any better than just letting people work?

Not true. The article points out that they are paid the same as the tabbers.

Why is this only on tezos? Is there some technical reason why tezos can use it but others can’t. I know tezos was basically born from theDao fallout, but, seems like maybe eth should think about standardization and verification too.

It’s not a reason to, but it might be a motivation. Unfortunately the technology is well ahead of the law, which is the perfect storm for punishing honesty. The US is well ahead of the rest of the world in enforcement. But also unfortunatel

I think the VM isolation in Dalvik and iOS is probably the right model, if we can fix hardware isolation, library compatibility, and resource provisioning. Otherwise, unikernels are the next logical step.

I’m always amazed by how irrelevant the objectives produced by business planning processes can be. It’s so common to hear things like, “yes, we know this won’t ever end up in a product, but it’s in our objectives, so we have to focus on it”

These are very true. However, if you have to fire someone right away, it’s usually because you didn’t tell them something, especially that you fire quickly, and common reasons why. You as the employer have all the power of discovery, not th

I don’t understand how ransom ware works at all. The address is known well in advance, so a miner knows they might face sanction of their own coins for including it in their block. Not worth it.
