@freemo you seem like a physics buff. Tell me, how would you recommend I learn the physics of RF and waves and signals using a radio and SDR kit? Is it worth it to do it that way? Any suggestions?

Goal: make a radio and hook it to an mcu, write a library to decode digital radio signals using said radio, and essentially have make my own digital radio scanner. Additionally, I'd like to have an option to do some signal processing to change my voice when using the radio for transmitting.

So, apparently "sharp" cos similarity can be as good as convolutions but with 10-100x less compute?

What that fuck am I doing????

@jmw150 Hi,

random question but would you happen to have a link that you shared many months ago (possibly more than a year) in which there was a 4 volume series on formal method including a volume for verification of C programs.

Best regards,

Mastodon has been feeling kinda dead lately. Each week for the last few months I use it less and less. Why? I don't know. Perhaps the difficulty of finding engaging sub communities?

Anybody know people here who post regularly and are into:

* Effective Altruism #effectivealtruist
* #Graphics #opengl #vulkan #gamedev
* #machinelearning #pytorch #tensorflow
* #programming in #c #cpp #rust #python #haskell specially those who post about their #foss projects
* #crypto such as #ada #sol #algorand
* #mathematics
* #AGI
* #academia

Hot take: low h-index is a great indicator for how bitchy a professor is when grading assignments. The more free time without meaningful research, the more time to pick apart student's work on trivial stuff like chart colors.

#academia

Oh crap

What is happening on this world? People whom I've always considered to be nice, compassionate and smart are now voicing hatred towards another portion of the population (unvaxxed) and wishing death upon them for "taking our freedoms by being selfish and not complying". These same friends previously advocated against elites but now seem to be doing exactly what the elites want, getting us to attack each other and hate one another without getting to the truth. This makes me lose all faith in humanities wisdom, it shows that after countless wars, genocides and segregation we still haven't learned the lessons of the path. I suppose this is partly a defense mechanism, after all, it's much easier to express hatred towards the unvaxxed on Twitter than to look at spread data and then protest or write a letter to your local government to try to regain those freedoms you lost. Instead, it's much easier to blame the invisible boogie man, the unvaxxed.

Fuck
