This is really cool. Have you looked at all at the constant Q transform https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-Q_transform which is basically a Fourier Transform with logarithmically spaces bins so that it can be…
Well according to Cuomo’s March 26 briefing the ventilator situation maybe nearly that bad. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-26/n-y-death... 3-4 days for non-covid versus 11-21 days for covid.
Yeah I think this terminology is odd because I think that the computable numbers are much more “useful” than the definable numbers.
I haven’t read this in detail, but a few things stand out. In the write up, you say it compares better than bitwise radix sort. You need to compare against an optimized byte-wise radix sort which is by far the fastest…
Somewhat, in that it doesn’t use more precision than needed, but the real issue is you can’t just pick some arbitrarily large precision and round at the end. For some calculations, even 400 digits during intermediate…
This isn’t a performance optimization but rather an accuracy optimization. Even if the requested output is a double (64-bits) the intermediate calculations often need to be done to higher precision to get fully accurate…
I would also like to not that encoding the the Option<char> using the unused bits of the return value is a perfectly valid implementation. But that is exactly what it is, an implementation detail. It could work exactly…
http://c-faq.com/decl/spiral.anderson.html Is the rule I learned to understand C declarations and while the rule there is described as simple I think the examples even without argument types are actually fairly complex.…
Actually this is quite a bit different. This is more a columnar-store version of SQLite, basically an embedded OLAP database, which is pretty cool. I’m not aware of other column-stores in this niche, most are…

Would not even require difference in circumstances, seems like the other defendants would be likely to just pin the blame on her if she isn’t going to defend herself.
It’s downside is that it is computationally very expensive. All of the other NIST candidates are not very computationally demanding, but have much larger keys. So the trade off with SIDH is that it spends a lot of time…
It’s missing the fungibility where it is produced by multiple suppliers and can be treated equivalently by the end buyer. Large grade A eggs are a commodity as it doesn’t matter which farm produced them. A specific set…
Profit center: spending more money on it can make you more money. Cost center: spending more money will not be able to increase your revenue, hence the only way to improve your bottom line is by reducing costs. A lot of…
In most cases k << n. For 64-bit integers, byte wise radix sort k is 8, which is less than log n whenever n is more than 256. So, radix sort is typically much faster than an O(n log n) sort of your data support it. It…
DO you have a quick explanation or any reference on using SAT solver to find equivalent bit-wise functions? I can see how you could easily verify equivalence, but I am struggling to see how you could use SAT solver to…
This article is about ultra marathons which have very low participation of both sexes. Likely we haven’t seen top performance for either sex. However in the marathon, the evidence is exactly opposite. The performance…
Well he is an economist so he is saying he is paying them the market rate which he believes to be underpriced relative to their intrinsic value. As an economist he would place the underpricing blame on society and the…
From a brief read, I think it reads in flight data not necessarily cached, so flushing cache won't help unfortunately.
I think he is talking about the actual building on the property. It doesn't make sense that an 20 year old house should be worth more than an "equivalent" newly constructed house. It should depreciate through wear and…
https://wci.llnl.gov/facilities/nif I don't think NIF was ever about energy research, just a way for government to spin weapons research as having some energy benefit.
Data science is one of the few fields where a physics degree does have at least some comparative advantage. In any engineering field, a hiring manager with a choice between an engineering graduate and a physics graduate…
You are missing the argument. It is the same one that RAND https://www.rand.org/pubs/conf_proceedings/CF194.html gave when commissioned by congress to determine whether their was a “STEM shortage.” If there was a STEM…
The comparison isn't between working at a software startup and delivering food. It is between working at a software startup and a different software job. The other software job is almost always better for the reasons…
