I’m not so sure mocking is really that on point, a tool used to understand avalanche safety should be safe. The product copy highlights safety and the value of providing a recommendation instead of having to collate and synthesize different data yourself.

Avalanche risk and its management are unknown to me, but not to ski patrols, experienced backcountry trekkers, scientists, and national weather services of many countries, etc. I saw no evidence of trials to test to see how the technology performs against real conditions.

If you can’t trust this product’s recommendations within some margin of safety then it’s value proposition disappears.

Why not market it instead as an experiment and seek some way of collecting data to improve the process or develop a model fine tuned to the inputs?

Is it just me, or does it seem extremely dangerous to market: “Strata doesn't just show the data. It makes the call.”

The page states it’s powered by Claude with nothing I could see that relates to its performance, metrics, processes, testing, etc. for something expected to be used in a safety application.

Looks like that cuts off the article for me, this works though: https://archive.md/cFIf2

Azure Network Availability Issues

Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services. We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue. We are taking two concurrent actions where we are blocking all changes to the AFD services and at the same time rolling back to our last known good state.

We have failed the portal away from Azure Front Door (AFD) to mitigate the portal access issues. Customers should be able to access the Azure management portal directly.

We do not have an ETA for when the rollback will be completed, but we will update this communication within 30 minutes or when we have an update.

yes, and it seems that at least for some login.microsoftonline.com is down too, which is part of the Entra login / SSO flow.

It is interesting to see the differential across different tenants in different geographies:

- on a US tenant I am unable to access login.microsoftonline.com and the login flow stalls on any SSO authentication attempt.

- on a European tenant, probably germany-west, I am able to login and access the Azure portal.

Would this also be true for electrostatic speakers as well? Though would probably would require greater gain/amplification or, potentially the application of some kind of bias voltage for the capacitive diaphragm of the speaker.

Just speculation based on the shared operating principal with condenser microphones

This comment captures a lot of important detail about echolocation.

Or possibly, this was the smallest tool change possible. Saving costs by not having to redesign parts like the glass, etc.

Many embedded systems use SWupdate to manage this, which can hook into uboot.

Data warehouse, even data lake, I can imagine a meaning for. Without context, what is a lakehouse?

These are core principles that are taught to Emergency Managers in the Swarm Leadership method [0].

  Unity of mission – it was for these leaders, Save Lives!

  Generosity of spirit and action – these leaders and people across the community were willing and eager to help one another.

  Stay in your lanes, doing your job, and help others to succeed in theirs. How can I make you a success?

  No ego – no blame. No one took credit for their success together. No one pointed fingers when problems arose.

  A foundation of trusting relations – these leaders knew and had confidence in one another.

I might recommend sending to the landing page or a description, I am not sure how many folks will install a TestFlight without more information.

No, from the documentation it seems they share a lot of infrastructure between GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines.

My web interface and pipelines appear to be down, but it seems like git operations are still working.

Second anything from CCRMA, the inventors of FM synthesis and still the one top programs in the country/world.

Professor Puckett, inventor of Max and PureData (the two top visual programming languages for DSP) has a book, The Theory and Practice of Electronic Music, with interactive examples written in PD, this one probably has an example exercise for a pitch shifter [0]

I often recommend also Music and Computers originally out of Columbia. [1]

Yes! Maybe I’m always expecting the wrong thing with Podman Desktop, but I can’t ever get it to work the way I expect it to - on Windows or Mac.

Rancher Desktop, however, has been a breeze. Same with using Lima.[0]

With Lima:

This is just called sibilance [0], it’s most likely in the source material but could be accentuated by a number of downstream factors.
