On top of that, essential oil purity is probably not exactly well regulated. Depending what chemicals are used to do the extraction, there can be nasty stuff left over not to mention adulterants or other random stuff.

Does this go easier in any other ORM/DBs that you might have used? Sounds like the semantics of the real-world stuff didn't quite match up to the DB semantics.

Many people liked Strang's earlier presentations/books/videos, so some folks might be interested in the new book (esp. those wanting a foundation for doing ML). There is a set of video lectures that outline it: https:/&

There is a mode that's called "Audio Adapter Accessory Mode" that makes use of the USB 2.0 data lines and a few others as analog audio lines for the headphones.

I don't think it excludes them and in the text it says, " The NASA Startup Studio is intentionally designed to be completed alongside a full-time job or MBA program, as participants need to commit an average of 15 hours per week.&

I got fed up and shifted fully to a Linux desktop and laptop setup like 20 years ago. Computers are silly devices and there is no end to the annoyances involved with them regardless of operating system. I got used to it and was/am abl

Those are great. I played in a group with an organ player who had a B3 into a leslie. I could just sit there watch the speaker horns whir around. They made a pretty good breeze too.

I was mainly thinking of when CCD bucket-brigade type devices came along. The standard (digital) approach these days is a convolution reverb which take an impulse response of a space (a cathedral or room or what not) and then apply it to th

I love the crazy mechanical stuff they came up with before solid state analog electronics matured enough to supplant them. Spring and plate reverbs, oilcan delays and tremolos, tape recorder based delays and other crazy rube goldberg contra

The article seemed more concerned with making sure the FSF was blown up, rather than with creating something to move forward the concerns brought up. This is especially confusing since the existence of the FSF doesn't really impact one

For me the similarity is primarily constant motion. There's a strong element of continuo in both but for different reasons.

The series of tweets for me just wasn't illuminating and I didn't get what the actual 'paradox' was given the graphs. But my issue was more that the graphs weren't clear in pointing out what I should be looking at.

I've seen some good summaries in the past, but unfortunately can't find them at the moment. Some things that play into it are the damage from the Cultural Revolution/Great Leap(s) Foward, government corruption with many rule

But LaTeX seems to take a whole lot longer to run when it's 6 sigma than when it's 3.

by rrmm 6y ago
Plenty of 3 sigma results have come and gone, (there's obviously an xkcd for this about doing a whole lot of experiments). It's certainly something to watch and I would personally be stoked for some new physics. I only posted bec

The result is three-sigma, so not yet there (5 sigma). As usual, interesting if true.

I'm sure a lot of the companies who might have benefitted from abusing it were persuaded to wait by various public pressure campaigns. It's always easier to push stuff in slowly once attention was elsewhere.

I'm not sure you can infer that because the worst predictions of alarmists didn't immediately happen, there is no danger in not having network neutrality. Assuming an ulterior motive is unnecessary, the stated motive seems good en

by rrmm 6y ago
Yeah. I think the downside is that you end up even further into the "shut-up and compute" paradigm of physics that we are already in. But if you get predictions from the theory that turn out to be true in the end (like entangleme

Right, but his whole point is to defend the idea of saying, "what if the math is the reality, what happens then?" It's sort of the same jump that pushed QM forward in the first place of discarding all the assumptions about p

The context here is in adversarial fights. The more important insight is that both you and your opponent are executing the same loop, so there may be an advantage to be had by completing it faster (or multiple times) before your opponent

Yup. Easy to do for most adversary nation-states as well, but the NRO still doesn't allow the SpaceX livestream to follow stage 2.

If they were carrying a national security payload, then having a gps feed of the second stage trajectory and target orbit would be less than ideal.

STH has a bunch of videos on youtube reviewing different machines of this sort. Seems like there is a lot to recommend using these as homelab systems or just to add a little extra horsepower for builds and testing. The only annoying part i

It usually requires exotic matter with negative mass which isn't normally found.
