They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There’s no practical purpose for them now.
In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.
If you’re asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that’s usually high-end audio recording.
Can I go into exile?
The maximum theoretical precision of an analog computer is limited by the charge of an electron, 10^-19 coulombs. A normal analog computer runs at a few milliamps, for a second max. So a max theoretical precision of 10^16, or 53 bits. This is the same as a double precision (64-bit) float. I believe 80-bit floats are standard in desktop computers.
In practice, just getting a good 24-bit ADC is expensive, and 12-bit or 16-bit ADCs are way more common. Analog computers aren’t solving anything that can’t be done faster by digitally simulating an analog computer.
Better dead than in a concentration camp. If they assault someone violently, it’s more likely to turn heads (especially if they’re a US citizen. For some reason.)
Any info on this? I can’t find anything about Chipotle removing any DEI stuff.
Hey look, it’s my favorite font!
You can really tell by the V in “Veggie Burger”.
Rednote is a proprietary app-only non-federated social network subject to the censorship of a totalitarian government, China. It blocks discussion of 6/4, Free Hong Kong, Uyghur genocide, and probably all the other stuff normally censored in China. I encourage any skeptics to visit the Chinese Wikipedia from within China.
The simplest explanation is that OP doesn’t have good opsec, and got a few tracking cookies after deleting cookies, before setting up their proxy/VPN. Then, on the VPN, the advertiser recognized their VPN IP address, and chose to exclude that from generating location data, deferring instead to the location indicated in their existing tracking cookies.
Privacy is hard. The system is rigged against privacy. You have to do everything perfectly, because one simple mistake could leak your IP address.
No person should have to pledge loyalty to the party to graduate. I don’t think you could sue for this in China. The party controls everything.
The counterfeit claim is bullshit. If they cared about counterfeits, they’d raid Amazon first.
In the garden, there are two chickens.
It would be a more meaningful discussion if the government wasn’t controlled so much by large corporations and oligarchs.
Why should I care? There’s no inherent reason lotteries deserve to exist. There are several reasons they shouldn’t exist.
Inkjet printers are good for furry artists who sell prints at conventions. Hmm… that’s actually so specific that it reinforces your point.
Everyone already had the choice to use this before. You can visit any site with a search box, and add that site as a search engine to Firefox.
This is forcing it down people’s throats.
How do I prevent new antifeatures from being added? How do I even know about the new antifeatures as they are added? Does Mozilla publish an RSS feed of each antifeature like this that they add, that gives a quick explanation of how to undo it?
I think we’re more at the point where they should be getting arrested by local cops. It says a lot that local cops are defending them instead.
Saying “I will shoot you” is illegal, no matter who you are. It doesn’t matter if they work for ICE, the FBI, the local police, or McDonalds; they should be arrested if they say that.
What should they do that could prevent this? I don’t think these gestapo asked before entering.
Maybe it was a phishing scheme to identify people’s IP addresses based on where they loaded the image from. In that case, each person would only receive one message. Fortunately I use a proxy, so they got nothing.
If any cops or cop apologists wanna disagree with this: show me a good cop who arrested an ICE. Because ICE is breaking the law, and as far as I can tell, nobody’s arresting them.
