  • They aren't talking about a particular instance because of how many times the IDF have bombed Palestinian hospitals

  • Look at the NYTs coverage of the genocide in gaza ("boohoo poor israel, self defense") and general media coverage Bernie Sanders (doesnt exist until he has no chance of winning something, pretending hes more outspoken now even though he's been saying the same thing for the last 60 years)

  • There are people in academia now that just publish bullshit incomprehensible papers that may be wrong just to justify continuing funding and not rock the boat. It keeps them employed and paid. I belive this person discussed this

  • Id rather see active communities on other servers than everyone congregating on .world

  • There are probably just going to be more people dropping trash on the floor instead of a bin

  • That seems pretty arbitrary

    0-2 would indicate negative, 0 being extremely bad and life changing and 2 pretty bad (worse than broken bones)

    3 which should be neutral is broken bones

    4-6 indicates success, but 4 seems to be just barely passing (e.g. landing it but with a fumble and falling) which doesnt seem to balance out a broken bone for 3 or something worse at 2

  • There are 100,000+ wasp species, and many usually dont sting or target specific species / bugs, or are solitary

  • If old democratic leadership can be cast off then it would be better to stay with the party to keep support of people who just vote democrat every time or dont pay attention to the news. It would also help avoid a split between the new party and democratic votes that might increase the chances of a gop win next time around (if there is one)

    Otherwise it would be better to start a new party / coalition free of the current leadership

  • More clarification: this is more about clock speed. Having a fixed clock frequency is important for making sure that everything functions correctly. Transistors take a certain amount of time to turn on and off, which for the most part is a fixed time duration. This can change with temperature, voltage, and design.

    Trying to run the clock too fast may mean that parts of the device havent fully turned on or off, or signals havent fully propagated through for parts that chain transistors together.

    Some devices will have better transistor or worse transistors due to variations between batches and there can be some variation within a single part.

    The clock is therefore set to be in a range that gives the highest performance possible while also ensuring stability (some overhead to allow temp, power, noise and variation to not cause instability).

    The clocks in this case are running 0.57% faster which is negligible, and likely well within the margin of error, though this upward drift is a natural consequence of the aging of the components (specifically the quartz resonator that sets the frequency).

    Modern processors do the same thing as these processors, though they also allow variable clock speeds. This allows turning down the clock speed most of the time to save power when not much is going on. This also means there is also some minor overhead available on many cpus.

    This is where "overclocking" comes from. Turning up the clock speed until the device becomes unstable, adjusting the voltages, temperatures, power, noise, etc. to get more performance out of the same part.

    Adjusting just the clock doesnt account for the fixed timing of the transistors (thus changing voltages, temps), and theres less overhead on modern processors, so its more of a mixed bag of results. Additionally, the CPU itself can degrade over time, and this shrinks the overhead. For the either old or modern cpus, it may have had 10% of headroom, which would shrink over time due to cpu degredation to lets say 5%, so a 0.6% increase due to resonator degredation is negligible.

    Overclocking is also possible on older consoles, though with differing levels of success. These older consoles were designed with a fixed frequency, and as a result many games are not designed to account for differing framerates. This means running the game faster doesnt just mean a higher fps/smoother gameplay, but you may literally move twice as fast if the game runs twice as fast.

  • That is the opposite of what the we should have learned from what happened with the Nazis and what Milgram experiment warned us of. Its the reason there's memes about "just following orders." If pressured, most people will just listen to what theyre told even if it means knowingly hurting someone.

    Passive acceptance is part of the reason Nazis were able to take over while not being the majority in Germany.

  • Not a backdoor, just undocumented commands on the hci. You would already need access to the device from the microcontroller side to leverage them. Also it's not uncommon for older devices like this to have undocumented commands

  • Make sure not to bag and toss all the leaves in the fall - leave a bunch in a pile in the corner of your yard. Thats where they like to stay at night

  • Banks send bills which are damaged or defaced back to the treasury to be destroyed and get an equal amount of new bills in return. They distribute the new bills. While any individual bill could be traced back to the original bank you got it from, non sequential bills implies they were gathered from various places and have been in circulation long enough that any given bill will have exchanged many hands and thus would be unlikely to be traceable. If you go to a bank and withdraw a bunch of bills, you might receive sequential bills. Showing up to deposit sequential bills which were withdrawn by a single person is solid evidence of you interacting with that person. If they get caught with drugs and their accounts investigated, they might see that they withdrew a bunch of bills that were then deposited by you and come after you

  • If you do a 5 bit encoding (0-31) that's enough for the alphabet and numbers can overlap with letters like in braille, plus spaces. Thats around 1638 characters. Standard ascii is technically 7 bits and that would compress to 1170 characters without the initial 0

    1. w_s = 2 * pi * f_s
    2. since you need to sample at 2x or more the highest desired frequency to get proper reproduction, it should be w>(1/2)w_s
     
        
    w > (1/2) w_s
    w > (1/2) 2 pi f_s
    w > pi f_s
