Apple did not need to be controlled by a majority shareholder in order to follow an ambitious, cohesive vision.

I've always been amused at how many sources state the "tube with one end open" model, derive the "odd harmonics only" behavior from the model, and then never engage with the observable behavior of the instrument or reconcile it with the model.

I did find this when trying to understand that disparity, but I don't know enough to confirm/refute/amend the explanation:

Thank you! I did notice that "odd harmonics" thing but never connected the dots and realized I was contradicting the article.

Also, not sure if my email response to your last post made it through or not.


Thanks for letting me know.

Got your email. Let's connect there.


Think of it more as "speed is the indefinite integral of acceleration" with the extra constant denoting a choice of inertial reference frame.


I took that to mean ≈ "Amount of training data isn't the big factor dwarfing all else." Depends who "we" refers to, I guess. Back when LLM-generated code was new, I definitely saw predictions that LLMs would struggle with niche or rarely used languages. These days, consensus among colleagues within earshot is that LLMs handle Rust much better than Python or C++ (corpus size and AutoCodeBench scores notwithstanding).


And yet a lot of speakers still seem to need that self-evidently true statement pointed out to them. Tautological advice isn't necessarily bad or useless, especially for beginners.


What percent of own-content submissions are good original content though?


What percent of non-own content is ?

This rule basically says "just submit a bunch of vaguely related crap and shove some of your stuff in-between so nobody can complain".

And for those that really want to promote, do that under some alt-account then go "Hi!, author here, ...." on your main for extra engagement


Does that button... do anything?



If you have to ask: not until you actually use it, no.


> Ever try or even see a "Leet-Code" style question that stated the problem without providing example results?

This style of question asks the examinee to devise a procedure for producing those results, not to come up with the individual results themselves. If a student is given a bunch of systems of linear equations to solve, an answer key isn't especially useful since checking a candidate solution is pretty straightforward.


Teaching isn't likely to get you away from unreasonable people with unreasonable expectations.
