   I’m in a third category where I have not accepted just because I still have an option not to. Waiting to see what happens. I depend on WhatsApp heavily to keep in touch with friends and family and cannot imagine not using it (it would requi

   Honest question: Why pick Charlemagne as an example here? The statement “Everyone is a descendent of X” is true for a lot of people who lived around that time and had descendants, no? Is Charlemagne chosen because he was a notable person of

   Still haven’t accepted. Waiting to see how long this lasts, and what will Facebook do about it eventually.

   I am interested in understanding this better. Any references that you can share?

   Same for me. It was the best customer experience. The employee used her iPad to communicate via text. Brief and straight to the point.

   There’s a difference in phase locking and frequency locking. It’s hard to phase lock to an atomic reference for long periods of time. Usually atomic clocks offer correction of the frequency drift of the oscillator. So the phase of the oscil

   Interesting. I’m guessing for radar applications it’s really the phase noise above a certain frequency that matters.

   Indeed. No mention of Allan deviation, and no links to references. I found this old reference https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/918181/ Which claims a short term Allan deviation of 5.4e-16/sq

    I’m curious to know why these updates have to be so large. There must be some clever way to send only the parts that need to updated, based on the users current version, no?

    The examples you have posted do not contradict what the author is saying. A feedback cycle is something like: a quantity A at time t1 given by A(t1) influences another quantity B(t2) which in turn influences A(t3). Here t3 > t2 > t1.

    It is not exponentially better. Energy stored in a stacked mass scales as n^2 whereas horizontal stacks scales as n. That’s quadratic scaling, not exponential.

    I love the idea of using sound as a mechanism for debugging code. It works wonderfully in other areas. I used to run a complex atomic physics experiment in graduate school which involved a series of steps repeated over and over again, with
