Yes.

The TWINSCAN EXE 5000 has a resolution of 8 nanometers.

Ha, I see.

Yeah, sarcasm over text forums is sometimes difficult to pick up on.

To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.

There is no inherent right that your opinions must be given a platform, or that any particular platform has the right to exist.

The first amendment is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether or not TikTok should be allowed to operate in the US.

The EU gave Google an option: pay or take down the content. The latter option was a bluff, and Google called them on it.

I don’t think this will hurt Google at all.

But it will certainly drive less traffic to these news sites if they are banned from Google. And that will hurt the news sites.

EU: You have to pay to show our news.

Google: Ok. We won’t show your news.

EU: Pikachu face

So, I’d argue that “frontend” and “backend” are the default modes of software engineering these days, and that embedded is a more niche field.

That said, if you’re doing encryption code, you’re doing far more advanced math than backend monitoring and alerting.

You often need to be pretty good at math. But not because you’re “doing math” to write the code.

In real world software systems, you need to handle monitoring and alerting. To properly do this, you need to understand stats, rolling averages, percentiles, probability distributions, and significance testing. At least at a basic level. Enough to know how to recognize these problems and where to look when you run into them.

For being a better coder, you need to understand mathematical logic, proofs, algebra/symbolic logic, etc in order to reason your way through tricky edge cases.

To do AI/ML, you need to know a shitton of calculus and diff eqs, plus numerical algorithms concepts like numerical stability. This is kinda a niche (but rapidly growing) engineering field.

The same thing about AI also applies to any other domain where the thing being computed is fundamentally a math or logic solution. This is somewhat common in backend engineering.

I’m not “doing math” with pen and paper at work, but I do use all of these mathematical skills all. the. time.

I am an SRE on a ML serving platform.

Which Americans are not in a similar position?

X Payments is doomed to fail. He missed the boat. The market is already saturated, and they’ve lost all brand loyalty.

And were they any good?

My car runs Android Automotive^1 on an Intel Atom and performance is trash. I would hate to have a phone on the same platform.

^1 As in, the car runs Android directly, not Android Auto running from a phone.

Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?

Why would any country allow soldiers of another to “do their own thing” within their borders?

That’s a good idea. They could probably do something similar for the audio.

They’d have to code around the rest of the animation and audio effects, but the size of that code would certainly be smaller than the rendered audio and video.

Video codecs mostly work by tracking movement, predicting which pixels will change, and striving to only encode the pixels that actually change or change dramatically. In other words, compression looks for patterns.

All of that goes out the window when you try to compress static. There are no patterns. It simply can’t be compressed. This isn’t a matter of the algorithms not being good enough. It’s a fundamental limit of information theory.

Anything fancier amounts to embedding the intro into the compressor as a well-known pattern. And at that point, you’re better off just caching a 4K version of the intro as a standalone video file directly in the app.

What are you going on about? Have you ever ridden in one of these?

I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.

My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.

And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”

Sure it is.

• 3 spatial dimensions + time
• 3 spatial dimensions + 1 color dimension (grayscale)
• 2 spatial dimensions + 2 color dimensions
• etc

And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.

(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)
