No they will specify something like dB SPL, A-weighted with Fast time integration. Sometimes referred to as dB(A) SPL. And measured with a particular method, which specifies things like distance from sources, environmental conditions, etc.

When referring to sound in the physical world, "decibel" mean dB SPL (sound pressure level). Which is defined as the ratio to the smallest perceivable sound pressure level. Unfortunately that is still a bit underspecified, it may

Property based testing is incredibly useful for state-free systems/modules. Especially those that have a wide/complex input space. Simple examples would be a general (de)serialization library for something like JSON.

Numerical aggregates often have the property that their output is in the range min and max of the input. An aggregate on discrete values my have the property that the output is one of the elements in the input. It may also have a no-NaN pro

In Norway, you can get 25% tax break on R&D costs. It can be combined with other softfunding up to 70% for small companies doing research, and 50% for larger companies doing development.

Not necessarily correct the answer! Sometimes it just changes it, insists that it is correct - but it might still be wrong (perhaps now in a new way)...

Strong endorsement! I would like to add that MicroPython can also be extended in C by writing small (or large) modules in C that one can call from Python. There is a module variant that can be installed at runtime (via package manager) call

Only really feasible if your program does not have any CPython C module dependencies. As there is no API compatibility with those.

MicroPython can be used either as the top-level entry point, with your C/C++ code being modules (callable from Python). Or you can embed the interpreter into a C/C++ program - see the "embed" port for an example.

Yeah I got one of those as well. An the older non-S3 version. Fun for developing, very powerful. I use it for developing ML applications for watches etc (emlearn project). Great device for that, but battery life is not its strong point.

It might be just-about acceptable for a smartwatch. But anything the micro takes out of the power budget means less screen and radio time, which does add constraints. PineTime, based on NRF52, will get you 4-7 days of practical usage.

Skipping like that is very interesting in battery-powered sensor systems, where you can put the system to sleep until it is time to sample.

I agree that homogenization is the likely default outcome. ML models do tend to have a strong tendency to prioritize modelling the most common things well, which makes output in a generative models also biased towards mean/mode. And t

Not in any meaningful way. That is why Microsoft is making a bug press push, to try to convince decision-makers otherwise. Let's hope our politicians and industry pundits do not fall for it.

Running models locally is starting to get interesting now. Especially the 30B-A3B version seems like a promising direction, though it is still out of reach on 16 GB VRAM (quite accessible). Hoping for new Nvidia RTX cards with 24/32 GB

Doubling the wages is not going to happen... But it could be that output gets doubled, at the same personell cost (jobs*wages). Ref Jervons Paradox.

Of course. But they are starting with 40 years less baggage. And can reasonably assume a modern hardware architecture, for example.

AlphaProof is among the most relevant methods here. And because it trains by self-play, instead of historical human data - it has a much better chances of being able to solve novel problems, or come up with solutions that humans have not. I

Letting your JS/TS compiler convert it into supported form. Not really a polyfill, but it allows to use new features in the source and still support older targets. This was done a lot when ES6 was new, I remember.

There seems to be no stable consensus on which LLM one should have used, to get good results. Which is somewhat natural, things are moving quickly - and evaluation methods are immature (and the little we have, actively gamed). But a lot of

Sweden as an example is 10 million people. The world is 8000 million, 800x larger. The affluent parts of the world are somewhere between 100-1000 million, so the market potential is 10-100x larger. If one is able to address the global marke

RF anechoic chambers are, as a side effect of their construction, pretty low echo also when it comes to audible frequencies. I have spent a bit of time in one (EMC testing a product), and it was the quietest room I have been in by far.
