It's very common for "technical details" of a system to receive a different classification than the "fact of existence" of said system.
In other words, it's widely known that the Navy has a system for listening. The internal designation, capabilities and limits of operation are not widely known and that information should be kept secret.
> The Navy asked that the specific system used not be named, citing national security concerns.
The oceans normally undergo a cycle of patterns in ocean currents which also manifest surface temperature warming and cooling. You've probably heard "El Niño" and "La Niña" during weather forecasts.
The cycle is very irregular and I doubt we have good prediction models for it. However, the observations of the ocean currents line up very well with ocean surface temperature readings.
On it's own, the ENSO cycle would not cause an overall trend of warming. However, it is very capable of being the cause of the "bands in the data" that you noticed.
If I recall, you can absolutely loop through the elements in a tight loop and the compiler (e.g. GCC) will auto-vectorize for you (if you have the relevant optimization flag set).
The trick with coding for auto-vectorization is to keep your loops small and free of clutter.
I don't have the documentation handy but I think you only need to follow a couple rules:
- loop must have a defined size (for-loop instead of while-loop)
- don't muck with pointers inside the loop (simple pointer increment is okay)
- don't modify other variables (only the array should be modified)
I understand many people are familiar with what "open standard" means. There are lots of other people that are somewhat new to the phrase.
Consider these related terms:
- Open Source
- Open Data
- Open Standard
For people who encounter these terms in the listed order, "Open Standard" may or may not be understood by analogy. Some people will assume that it also includes the concepts of Open Source and Open Data. It does not.
> Redditors are staging blackouts.
The implication that the Reddit blackouts are related to recent AI advances is ridiculous. The embedded link also makes no mention of AI.
I dislike this kind of disingenuous clickbait. It's not worth my time to keep reading.
In a way I should thank them for the early red flag. This way I don't need to waste my time on the whole article.
