Yes exactly this. On a high bitrate stream these losses are imperceptible (yes even by you golden ears out here) due to how auditory filters work in human hearing.

Also numerous space probes did fail very early despite having design philosophy not very different from Voyagers.

Up until mid-1970s Japanese goods were about where Aliexpress is now.

I'm not sure this perception is correct: Intel had diverse products from the earliest days with own series of ROM, SRAM and so on. They never were a cpu boutique.

The book didn't call for ejecting from a controllable plane. As per the fine article, the commander referred to a chapter that was not relevant for the situation.

There was exactly 1 (one) fatality involving F-35s. In Japan air force, attributed to the piloting error.

I'm not sure why are you arguing with me, my point was what was the historical reality at the time. Machine vision used feature detectors, cellphones had keyboards, teenagers wore low cut jeans.

A typical metric micrometer is accurate to 0.01mm (tho you can find more precise ones at premium). It's really unlikely you'll get a micron precision from any calipers. Even an angry glance warms up the instrument enough to make t

You really want to use a mike on this kind of precision. Calipers can be repeatable in a certain range but even then a readout from vernier gives too much error. Measuring a tenth of mm is acceptable (tho I'd never trust a vernier cali

I know the history and the fist USPS applications. My point is in any random industrial vision setup on the verge of millennium you'd unlikely found any sort of NN.

From what I remember reading at the time, most of industrial vision applications 20 years ago had very little to do with neural networks. Or even with ML in general, relying on bespoke feature detectors.

It's really no difference. Even Chang Kai Chek era Taiwan with the little freedoms its people enjoyed was an enviable place next to sparrow hunt era mainland.

The "somehow" part is most certainly all the spam/scam/robocalls that killed voice calls otherwise.

It's worth remembering that the origin of BRICS was the Goldman Sachs portfolio for emerging markets. For some bizarre reason the term became loved by Western far left and then took a life of its own.

So far it looks like robots will take over music and entertainment before they learn to empty a dishwasher.

A lot of these developers work at Russian war machine and secret police suppliers (like ALT Linux or Baikal) so no this is not just that.

This made me immediately think whether MIT Loop of Common Lisp was an inspiration here. Checked the user's profile and sure enough, a lisper!

In this age of marketed Lisp-based architectures, this paper still presents one of very few accounts of powerful compilation techniques for Lisp on so-called "stock architectures," and I have received in the interim many requests

Yup it's surface amplitude with the engines running is probably more than that.

In the books Nemo is obsessed with fighting British colonialism (and broadly all imperialism) due to his family history. Can't say it's something Verne overlooked.

Seconded! Top notch longform programming material.

There's also Langband: a fairly complete Angband clone written in CL by my late friend. Including SDL/tiled version; however the code is pre-Quicklisp and it'd probably would be some work to get it to run again. https:/

Buddy I started using Emacs at version 1.8, and no display-buffer-alist is not "sane". Just maintaining a stable window arrangement in the frame is not something easily possible.
