Just FYI, Amazon and most other providers offer instances that go up to many TB of ram — the largest listed on EC2 right now is 24TB. Depending on your workload, you may get far be…

If you can, working with the logarithms of the intermediate large or small values is one way around the issue One example talking about this here: http://aosabook.org/en/500L/a-rej…

Context for point 5: - MIT sued Gehry's firm: https://thetech.com/2007/11/09/lawsuit-v127-n53 - Eventual settlement: https://thetech.com/2010/03/19/statasuit-v130-n14

Carrier freezout actually makes this non-workable -- there's a limit to how cold you can make CMOS devices before they stop functioning. To say nothing of the specific heat of liqu…

That is not the free file page, and the fact that it tricks you into thinking it is is exactly the point: https://www.propublica.org/article/turbotax-just-tricked-you...

Looks like matplotlib to me (assuming you mean the top window, not the terminal or what looks like a browser behind)

oops: [1] https://www.analog.com/en/products/ad9361.html

Yeah, the BladeRF uses an AD9361[1] as the transceiver, which features a pair of ADCs per channel, of which there are two (so, a total of 4 ADCs and 4 DACs in the package). It's go…

C-o for me, for exactly the same reason

The latter can be accomplished with inverted flame graphs (sometimes called icicle graphs) which show the call stack inverted

Most of the rocket scientists I know also exercise

How about pointing to several hundred years of systemic slavery and oppression without any meaningful reparation efforts?

So long as all frequencies you're trying to represent are below the Nyquist frequency, there's still only one band-limited reconstruction of the samples. So yes, it's still possibl…

If you're going to do any random processes, the graduate course (and corresponding textbook) from EECS at MIT is great: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu…

I paid $12 on Amazon for 6 Travalo lightning cables on Amazon and I couldn't be happier with them. Lightning interface is legit (no notifications about unsupported lightning connec…

FFTW is one of the seminal examples of the importance of cache awareness, if I remember my history correctly. As I understand it, the reason the fftw authors (Matteo Frigo and Stev…

Same goes for me when doing CAD and having to constantly convert between standard & metric -- 254, 508, etc show up in numbers a lot and it gives you a nice hint that it's a "clean…

"Utterly bizarre" captures a lot of my feelings about science funding and the graduate student research mill, yeah

Not universally true -- I know students on NDSEG fellowships (i.e. DoD) receive a 1099. I can't speak to the other fellowships though, and I don't get any deduction/withholding don…

Wow, I've literally never heard of a PhD where you were only expected to work 20 hours/week. I'd say 50-60 is closer to the norm, especially once you're done with your coursework (…
