NOOOOOOOOOPE! nope nope nope nope nope nope

Anflug auf Muenchen, 30 mins vor dem Touchdown. Bei 14 Grad gelandet... das ist ja Winter 😱

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Dienstag. Alles wird gut!

I have been sick for almost a week now (less than a month after I was last sick!) and I am so fed up with it. What I would give to be able to breathe through my nose again 🤧

@FlockOfCats The crazy part with all that bullshit is that with their new laws they're clearly saying that they only want rich immigrants but rich immigrants already don't want to move to Japan anymore because no one who has money wants to be paid in yen nowadays.

@RussSharek@mastodon.art What do you mean by 'slopped' in this context?

can't fucking believe the evil graph theory guys are keeping their block lengths constant at all times https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~elena-g/CS860-FT25/lec14.pdf

Ok yes I'm really liking the very detailed explanations in the TPS62933 datasheet.

"For this example design, two TDK CGA5L1X7R1H106K160AC (10-μF, 50-V, 1206, X7R) capacitors have been selected. The effective capacitance under input voltage of 24 V for each one is 3.45 μF”

Oh yes, de-rating of Class 2 MLCCs is extremely important because they lose SO MUCH capacity when DC biased.

*sigh*…
I’m sighing because the “why are you critical of capitalism if you own an iPhone” is such an extremely cliché argument that, believe you me, I hear every freaking day as a political activist.

I’m sighing because it’s the most superficial, plain, and uninteresting way that most people have for dismissing people who have actual things to say and denounce.

I’m sighing because it’s a cope-out counter-argument that’s used repeatedly to disqualify valid points made by marginalized communities.

@brentsimmons, these aren’t tech choices being criticized, they’re political choices. Political choices made in a time of far reaching fascism should be criticized widely and openly, especially by those most impacted.

Hear those criticisms and argue against them for what they are instead of cheaply disqualifying those who make them on the basis that, yes, they are constrained to live in a capitalist society, and to themselves own/use products of that society as we all do.

see lol i'm reading the perturbed error correcting code paper and just https://people.csail.mit.edu/akavia/AV_PerturbationCodes.pdf

The perturbation operator, given a generating matrix R ∈ k×n {0, 1} of any binary linear code R, outputs a generating matrix P ert(R) of a new binary linear code P ert(R). The columns of the generating matrix P ert(R) are sums (modulo 2) r ⊕ of columns r of R and vectors from k low dimensional subspaces of {0, 1} .

it's RIDICULOUS to describe a stateful serial data flow (the earlier bits are literally being sent first!) with a matrix transform like the perturbations are completely independent.

maybe if your message is going to be stored in the persistent storage device on a satellite orbiting the sun this matrix assumption could make sense. but if you can't design a basic automaton (doesn't have to be a whole turing machine!!) for a stateful transformation and you're name dropping fucking adi shamir???? then yes i absolutely do think less of you and for work for that!

We think of the sums r ⊕ as a perturbation of the column r by. Specifically, the columns of P ert(R) are all sums r ⊕ for r ∈ Ri , ∈ Li, i = 1, . . . , Θ(n) for Ri and Li chosen as follows.

oh jesus FUCKING christ they're not even like.......using that matrix to simulate perturbation on the message at all. the matrix is apparently a representation for an expander graph of some kind??

and a uniformly random r ∈ Ri,

or maybe not at all, maybe they're just a statistician and they don't a god damn clue what they're doing
