The magnets are on the outside of the containment vessel, their whole point is to keep the plasma in the center. What little leaks out ablates the walls of the container, it never even touches the magnets.
I write FIR filters in software all the time, it's plenty fast for what I do. Why use analog circuit elements to emulate a fundamentally digital technique? Build an analog circuit with similar filtering characteristics. You can even design it digitally and convert it to analog using the bilinear transform.
Yeah I had a startup offer me 50K shares or something like that and I started poking at what their full diluted share count is and they hemmed and hawwed. Pass.
Hear hear. Everyone that's making excuses for one based is wrong. You need a zero in your set of integers to form a Ring modulo N. I hereby declare everyone that wants 1 based indexing out of some naive sense of it being easier a scrub.
The gist is that you can get Nan+jNan for some operations where you wanted "infinity", so to do things their way, you have to insert a NaN check after multiplication for example. This isn't too bad by itself (it's just a bit mask), but it completely borks the vectorizer.
Yeah I guess it depends on what you're trying to optimize (they use web mercator because roads didn't meet at right angles up north for example). But if you're mostly interested in indexing physical areas with polygon approximations, it seems like having each cell be the same area would be the ideal, but idk.
I'm still puzzled why they went with 6 quad-trees, instead of doing an equal-area projection with 2:1 ratio and quad-treeing that instead. You lose a bit for half the map but you do with 6 sides too (takes 3 bits).
They don't really, they tried to glue IEEE semantics onto their complex numbers, so they're largely broken in the modern era of auto-vectorizing compilers.
If you have a reasonable hash function, why is power-of-two and bitmasking bad? If you're uniformly distributed over a range N you'll be uniformly distributed over N/2
