Without PPS measurements its hard to say how good this is. 1.488MPPS is needed to saturate a gigabit connection and that usually needs some tricks like poll mode drives/dpdk/etc on commodity hardware.

Turns out that mathematics pedagogy is poor, in general. Especially for geometry and vector calculus, where it's either obsolete, busted systems or incredibly abstruse ones. Skipping over div/grad/curl and Gibbs-Heaviside vec

Nice. Will you open source the code and docs at all? I do get why the irs wants to vet submitters in production but you can't even get the detailed info for development without going through the long verification process. I wanted to d

It'd be much better for the world if one of the tech billionaires spent the money on a biosimilar insulin that could undercut this cartel. It's disgusting that people in america die for lack of an essential drug.

A diagnosis makes sense if you believe it will improve things. A key criteria is that the issue is negatively affecting your life. This can be in subtle, non-obvious ways. There's no obligation to be on any sort of medication, but havi

Sure. As a mathematician, the current line in the article _is_ succinct and also precise. Overkill for an audio engineer (my summary might be better). But if you have a graduate degree in a STEM field the sentence should be interpretable as

The issue is that the topic is only relevant to people already familiar with Fourier series and analysis, so the simplified, imprecise reduction isn't useful there. Wikipedia definitely suffers from inconsistency in who they are writin

The math is correct. Linearized GR and Newtonian gravity are qualitatively and quantitatively different and at "relativistic" scales we should probably see a difference! I don't have the cosmology background to evaluate more

Then run a proper randomized controlled trial with comparisons to cloth and surgical masks so we have actual data, not 10000 anecdotes. This was the biggest event of the last 50 years, we can throw a few billion at a real trial.

You underestimate the desire for precision tracking, unfortunately. Hiding behind custom subdomains is common. Stepping up to cloaking it to be delivered from the application is more effort but it'll happen.

How does this beat Schonhage-Strassen (which is the standard way to do IDFT(DFT(a)*DFT(b)) ) by a factor of loglog(n)? IIRC nlog(n) was only achieved in 2019.

Yep, though massless particles must follow null geodesics specifically. Yeah, the ant analogy isn't the best, though it does show off that movement on a curved surface needs "corrections" from the movement on a flat surface (
