In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews JB Baker, VP of Marketing and Product Management at ScaleFlux. They dive deep into the challenges and innovations in data storage and memory for AI workloads, discuss the hidden costs of data center inefficiency, and explore how ScaleFlux is disrupting the industry with advanced flash storage solutions. JB also shares insights from his endurance athlete mindset and offers advice for innovators. Key Takeaways: The Data Bottleneck in AI (2:01) The biggest challenge in AI infrastructure is not processing power, but storage and memory that can't keep up with demand. Hidden Costs in Data Centers (7:12) Up to 40% of data center power is spent on cooling, not processing, leading to massive inefficiencies and costs. ScaleFlux’s Disruptive Solution (15:38) ScaleFlux’s custom SSD controllers enable real-time data compression in hardware, doubling performance and reducing costs for enterprises. Endurance Mindset in Business (23:18) JB applies lessons from endurance sports to business, emphasizing persistence and continuous improvement as keys to innovation. Quote of the Show (3:41):"Those cores can process so much more data per second and so much more data per watt. But when the entire infrastructure isn't balanced, you're losing out on these efficiencies. And so there it is, creating hidden costs." — JB Baker Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Bitcoin's $6K Monday surge hit a brick wall at $115K, snapping back under $113K as dominance creeps to 56.7% and the market cap stalls at $2.25T. ETH slips below $4,200, alts bleed, and ASTER dumps 17% in 24 hours — but chaos crowns new winners with Subsquid +75% and SwissBorg +24%. ETF flows, tokenized fund pilots, and stablecoin wars pile on the pressure. October coils tight, December's the detonation window.
Der Performance Manager Podcast | Für Controller & CFO, die noch erfolgreicher sein wollen
Künstliche Intelligenz muss nicht komplex und teuer sein, um echten Mehrwert zu schaffen. Das beweist die Mehrer Compression GmbH eindrucksvoll: Das traditionsreiche Industrieunternehmen hat sein Servicegeschäft durch clevere KI-Anwendungen grundlegend transformiert – ohne teure Sensoren oder komplizierte Automatisierung. Mehrer Compression ist ein über 130 Jahre alter Spezialist für Kompressoren in Industrieanwendungen. Das Servicegeschäft macht die Hälfte des Umsatzes aus – war aber bisher rein reaktiv organisiert und damit nicht mehr zukunftsfähig. Anstatt auf vollautomatische Systeme zu setzen, wählte Mehrer einen schrittweisen Ansatz: Mit intelligenten Prognosemodellen können sie heute Service- und Ersatzteilbedarf vorhersagen. Das Ergebnis: deutlich bessere Lagerhaltung und optimierter Kundenservice. Jens Elfert, Bereichsleiter Finanzen und Personal bei der Mehrer Compression, berichtet über eine praxisnahe Geschichte digitaler Transformation im Mittelstand – ohne Buzzwords und mit konkreten Learnings für CFOs, Controller und IT-Verantwortliche.

In this episode of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Jeff Bailey, creator of Avita Yoga, about the power of joint compression in preserving mobility and independence. Jeff explains how distinguishing between pain and healing sensation can transform the way we move, age, and heal. He shares simple yet powerful practices for maintaining mobility in joints—especially hands, hips, and spine—and emphasizes how combining diet with consistent compression keeps arthritis at bay. This conversation will inspire you to trust your body's intuition and embrace mobility as a lifelong practice for vibrant aging. Jeff Bailey has centered his life around yoga since 1985, teaching over 13,000 classes and workshops. After sustaining a severe hip injury in a skiing accident, Jeff discovered the critical role of joint compression in healing and long-term mobility. He studied Rolfing Structural Integration at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, where he trained in fascia-focused bodywork. Jeff credits this most valuable yoga teacher training he ever received, with shaping the development of his innovative Avita Yoga. By integrating Rolfing principles of fascia reorganization with mindful, joint-targeted movement, Jeff created a practice that has helped thousands overcome pain, restore mobility, and even avoid joint replacements. He is the author of The Yoga Mind and the forthcoming Mobility for Life: Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, and a Peaceful Mind with Avita Yoga. Time Line 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Dr. Gillian Lockitch frames the show's focus on mobility, joint health, and aging youthfully. 02:09 – Jeff's Background & Early Influences Childhood in Colorado, exposure to body mechanics through veterinary work, discovery of yoga, and transition to Rolfing. 06:35 – Fascia, Rolfing & Yoga Integration How Rolfing shaped Jeff's approach to yoga and led to Avita Yoga principles. 09:41 – Joint Compression as a Healing Tool From hip injury to breakthrough: why bones and joints thrive under thoughtful compression. 12:47 – Pain vs. Healing Sensation Why avoiding pain narrows life; how to approach sensation with curiosity and safety. 16:04 – Active Participation in Healing Movement-based fascia work, why “stretching” is misunderstood, and how Avita targets joints. 20:01 – Preventing Arthritis & Family Health Lessons Stories of preventing arthritic changes; Jeff's tips for daily prevention through mobility and nutrition. 23:00 – Hand & Finger Mobility Exercises to fully use the hands, sustain function, and prevent decline. 28:24 – Yoga as Undoing barriers to mobility rather than chasing perfection in movement. 31:24 – Key Takeaways Trust intuition, welcome sensation, undo resistance, and embrace mobility as a path to peace.

What if the way we store data is shaping the planet's future? That thought has been on my mind ever since attending the IT Press Tour in Amsterdam, where I first connected with today's guest. With global data creation forecast to hit 510 zettabytes by 2030, and data centers already consuming staggering amounts of power, the conversation is no longer about whether change is needed but about how we approach it. Joining me on the podcast is Nicholas Stavrinou, co-founder of CompressionX, a company rethinking lossless compression. Nicholas shares how a mathematical paradox in a university notebook grew into a technology that promises faster, cheaper, and more sustainable data storage. His story takes us from leather-bound journals and napkin sketches to a working product that is already helping users cut their digital footprints by more than 90 percent. In our discussion, Nicholas explains why compression deserves a seat at the sustainability table, especially as AI and enterprise workloads generate unprecedented volumes of cold data that simply sit idle in storage. We talk about the real costs of data growth, from spiraling cloud bills to the hidden environmental toll of cooling data centers, and we explore whether smarter compression could give businesses an edge while also reducing emissions. Nicholas and his team are also taking this message beyond theory. After the IT Press Tour, they are heading to Big Data LDN at Olympia London, where Compression X will be presenting in the Data for Good theatre at 2:40pm on Wednesday, September 24, and welcoming visitors at stand G58. It's a reminder that sustainable infrastructure isn't just about grand new facilities or green energy projects; sometimes it starts with rethinking something as humble as a file format. As you listen, ask yourself: could compression be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to make digital life more efficient, affordable, and sustainable? ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA
Long before we get to disc brake upgrades, Shelby drops and changing gearing ratios, we've got to bake our combustible recipe.

Professor Andrew Wilson from NYU explains why many common-sense ideas in artificial intelligence might be wrong. For decades, the rule of thumb in machine learning has been to fear complexity. The thinking goes: if your model has too many parameters (is "too complex") for the amount of data you have, it will "overfit" by essentially memorizing the data instead of learning the underlying patterns. This leads to poor performance on new, unseen data. This is known as the classic "bias-variance trade-off" i.e. a balancing act between a model that's too simple and one that's too complex.**SPONSOR MESSAGES**—Tufa AI Labs is an AI research lab based in Zurich. **They are hiring ML research engineers!** This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with one of the best labs in EuropeContact Benjamin Crouzier - https://tufalabs.ai/ —Take the Prolific human data survey - https://www.prolific.com/humandatasurvey?utm_source=mlst and be the first to see the results and benchmark their practices against the wider community!—cyber•Fund https://cyber.fund/?utm_source=mlst is a founder-led investment firm accelerating the cybernetic economyOct SF conference - https://dagihouse.com/?utm_source=mlst - Joscha Bach keynoting(!) + OAI, Anthropic, NVDA,++Hiring a SF VC Principal: https://talent.cyber.fund/companies/cyber-fund-2/jobs/57674170-ai-investment-principal#content?utm_source=mlstSubmit investment deck: https://cyber.fund/contact?utm_source=mlst— Description Continued:Professor Wilson challenges this fundamental belief (fearing complexity). He makes a few surprising points:**Bigger Can Be Better**: massive models don't just get more flexible; they also develop a stronger "simplicity bias". So, if your model is overfitting, the solution might paradoxically be to make it even bigger.**The "Bias-Variance Trade-off" is a Misnomer**: Wilson claims you don't actually have to trade one for the other. You can have a model that is incredibly expressive and flexible while also being strongly biased toward simple solutions. He points to the "double descent" phenomenon, where performance first gets worse as models get more complex, but then surprisingly starts getting better again.**Honest Beliefs and Bayesian Thinking**: His core philosophy is that we should build models that honestly represent our beliefs about the world. We believe the world is complex, so our models should be expressive. But we also believe in Occam's razor—that the simplest explanation is often the best. He champions Bayesian methods, which naturally balance these two ideas through a process called marginalization, which he describes as an automatic Occam's razor.TOC:[00:00:00] Introduction and Thesis[00:04:19] Challenging Conventional Wisdom[00:11:17] The Philosophy of a Scientist-Engineer[00:16:47] Expressiveness, Overfitting, and Bias[00:28:15] Understanding, Compression, and Kolmogorov Complexity[01:05:06] The Surprising Power of Generalization[01:13:21] The Elegance of Bayesian Inference[01:33:02] The Geometry of Learning[01:46:28] Practical Advice and The Future of AIProf. Andrew Gordon Wilson:https://x.com/andrewgwilshttps://cims.nyu.edu/~andrewgw/https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=twWX2LIAAAAJ&hl=en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aja0kZeWRy4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEp4TOrkwV4 TRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/H4Io1Y7Rr54MM05FuZgAv4yphoukCfkqokyzSYJwCK8Hosts:Dr. Tim Scarfe / Dr. Keith Duggar (MIT Ph.D)REFS:Deep Learning is Not So Mysterious or Different [Andrew Gordon Wilson]https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.02113Bayesian Deep Learning and a Probabilistic Perspective of Generalization [Andrew Gordon Wilson, Pavel Izmailov]https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08791Compute-Optimal LLMs Provably Generalize Better With Scale [Marc Finzi, Sanyam Kapoor, Diego Granziol, Anming Gu, Christopher De Sa, J.

Forget the ice pack. There's a better way to heal. Dr. Andrew Fix challenges the old RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) protocol and shows how it can actually slow recovery instead of helping it. Ice and anti-inflammatories may ease pain in the moment, but they also keep the body from doing the work it's built to do. In this episode, Dr. Fix lays out PEACE (Protection, Elevation, Avoiding anti-inflammatories, Compression, Education) and LOVE (Load, Optimism, Vascularization, and Exercise), a framework that focuses on protecting the injured area, restoring blood flow, loading the body in safe ways, and leaning into an optimistic mindset. He explains how injuries can be turning points, moments to learn more about your body and build resilience for the future. Have you ever thought about whether your recovery habits are helping you heal faster or keeping you stuck? Dr. Fix will make you rethink the way you care for yourself when injury strikes. Quotes “If we take those things, if we ice, if we take anti-inflammatory medications, NSAIDs, just know that you are basically trading one thing for another. You're trading some symptom relief, pain relief, and reduction in swelling for quicker healing, right? The term that I like to use a lot is you are effectively kicking the can down the road in terms of letting that injured area heal.” (07:13 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We need to be positive. We need to think about what we can do, not what we can't do. We need to be visualizing and imagining what our recovery is going to look like, what our performance is going to look like when we return from this injury, when we rehab, when we get back to doing things.” (18:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Ditch the rice protocol. Instead, if you deal with an injury, we're gonna do peace and love. We're gonna give it peace and give it love. Protection, elevation, avoiding anti-inflammatories, compression, education, load optimism, vascularization, and exercise. It's as simple as that.” (24:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If you are dealing with an injury, especially if you're not sure what you're dealing with, make sure you get it checked out by somebody so that they can point you in the right direction.” (24:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Sometimes our body is going to need a little bit of TLC because of an injury or a breakdown that occurred.

It's one of the most debated questions in music production, and in this episode of Inside The Mix, we break it down with practical advice for producers at every level.Guest Tim Benson shares why he often tracked vocals with hardware compressors in the studio, not just for sound quality, but because hearing compressed vocals in headphones helped singers perform with more confidence and precision. We discuss how compression during tracking can shape performances, highlighting the psychological and creative benefits that go far beyond managing peaks.But what if you don't want to commit compression to your recording? Thanks to modern workflows, you can now monitor with plugin compression while recording a clean signal, giving vocalists the polished sound they crave without sacrificing flexibility at mixdown.We also compare compression across instruments, exploring why it's often essential for bass but risky for acoustic guitars. Plus, discover why microphone technique, like managing distance and consistency, may solve more vocal problems than compression ever could.Whether you're asking “Should I record with compression on the way in?” or wondering which instruments benefit most, this episode gives you the clarity to make smarter tracking decisions.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to Paradise CoveListen to Engraved DisillusionSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Grab exclusive access to BONUS content on Patreon Try Riverside for FREE Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

我觉得只要你用过电脑,你就应该用过WinRAR这款软件。这几乎是人尽皆知的压缩软件。它的故事,可以说是一部由天才程序员、一个独特的商业模式和时代需求共同谱写的传奇。大家好,我是栋哥,咱们又见面了。天才程序员的杰作WinRAR的核心,源于一位名叫尤金·罗谢尔(Eugene Roshal)的俄罗斯程序员。他出生于1972年,毕业于俄罗斯的南乌拉尔州立大学。在90年代初,个人电脑正在普及,但硬盘空间却非常宝贵,因此文件压缩技术成为了当时的热点。当时,市面上最流行的压缩格式是大家都很熟悉的ZIP格式,它由菲尔·卡茨(Phil Katz)创造。关于Phil Katz的故事,在我的电台的第72期天才与酒鬼,自私与无畏中已经讲过了,有兴趣的,可以去听听。然而,罗谢尔认为他可以做得更好。他着手开发一种新的压缩算法,目标是实现更高的压缩率和更强的数据恢复能力。这个算法的成果,就是RAR——Roshal ARchive(罗谢尔的归档)的缩写。好的,我们来详细介绍一下尤金·罗谢尔(Eugene Roshal),这位在软件世界中鼎鼎大名,却又异常低调的传奇程序员。他的故事充满了天才式的创造和一种独特的专注,正是这种专注,让他缔造了全球数亿人电脑中不可或缺的工具——WinRAR。个人简介与教育背景尤金·罗谢尔(全名:Yevgeniy Lazarevich Roshal,俄语:Евгений Лазаревич Рошал)于1972年3月10日出生在俄罗斯的工业城市车里雅宾斯克(Chelyabinsk)。这个城市有个著名的事件,在2013年的时候,一颗直径约18米、重达上万吨的小行星以超过6万公里/小时的超高速冲入地球大气层。它在车里雅宾斯克州上空约23公里的高空发生了剧烈的爆炸解体,形成了一个比太阳还要耀眼的超级火球。他毕业于南乌拉尔州立大学(South Ural State University),这是一所以技术和工程见长的学府。大学期间,他主修的是计算机工程相关的专业,这为他日后在软件开发领域取得的巨大成就打下了坚实的理论基础。然而,关于他的个人生活、兴趣爱好甚至一张清晰的照片都极难在公开渠道找到。他是一位典型的“代码背后的人”,选择让自己的作品替他发声,自己则远离公众的聚光灯,专注于技术的世界。这种低调和神秘,也为他的传奇增添了一抹独特的色彩。三大杰作:RAR, WinRAR, 和 FAR Manager尤金·罗谢尔的职业生涯主要以他创造的三个核心软件产品而闻名:RAR 压缩算法 (1993年)RAR 是 Roshal ARchive(罗谢尔的归档)的缩写,直接以他的姓氏命名。在90年代初,ZIP是主流的压缩格式。但罗谢尔认为可以创造出一种压缩率更高、容错性更强的算法。RAR算法因此诞生,它在技术上追求极致,尤其是在固实压缩(Solid Archiving)和数据恢复能力上,超越了当时的竞争者。罗谢尔公开了解压RAR文件的源代码(UnRAR),任何人都可以基于它开发解压功能,这也是为什么7-Zip、Bandizip等众多软件都能解压RAR文件的原因。但是,压缩RAR文件的算法至今仍是**专有(Proprietary)**的,并未开源。这意味着,要创建一个标准的RAR压缩包,理论上只能使用官方发布的软件。WinRAR 图形界面压缩软件 (1995年)随着Windows 95的发布,图形化操作界面成为主流。罗谢尔顺应潮流,为他的RAR算法开发了Windows下的图形化前端——WinRAR。巨大成功: WinRAR凭借其强大的功能(如分卷压缩、加密、强大的恢复记录)和对多种格式的兼容性,迅速风靡全球,成为了压缩软件的代名词。它的图标——三本被皮带捆绑的书,也成为了电脑用户最熟悉的符号之一。FAR Manager (1996年)高手的工具: 在开发WinRAR之后,罗谢尔还创造了另一款备受程序员和高级用户推崇的软件——FAR Manager。它是一个在Windows环境下运行的文本界面文件管理器,类似于经典的Norton Commander。特点: FAR Manager极其高效、可通过插件高度定制,对于需要频繁操作大量文件、注重键盘效率的用户来说,至今仍是一款“神器”。这也从侧面反映了罗谢尔本人作为一名硬核程序员的技术品味和开发理念。独特的“兄弟会”商业模式尤金·罗谢尔创造了软件,但商业上的事情他似乎并不关心。这就要提到他的哥哥——亚历山大·罗谢尔(Alexander Roshal)。为了能让自己全身心地投入到软件开发中,尤金将RAR算法和WinRAR软件的版权以及商业运营权,完全交给了他的哥哥亚历山大。这种兄弟间的明确分工,形成了一种非常高效且稳固的合作模式:弟弟尤金: 专注于技术,负责软件的开发、更新和维护,不断打磨产品。哥哥亚历山大: 负责商业决策,包括软件的许可、销售、市场推广以及法务问题。正是这种模式,让尤金可以几十年如一日地做他最擅长和最热爱的事情,而不被商业世界的琐事分心。这也解释了为什么WinRAR能在如此长的时间里保持高质量的更新。一个几乎“隐形”的开发者尤金·罗谢尔是互联网上最成功的软件开发者之一,但也是最低调的一个。你找不到任何关于他的专访,也看不到他在技术大会上发表演讲。他的所有交流,似乎都通过软件的更新日志和哥哥亚历山大的商业实体来完成。他不像比尔·盖茨或林纳斯·托瓦兹(Linux创始人)那样成为公众人物,而是选择了一种“事了拂衣去,深藏功与名”的方式。对他而言,最重要的事情可能就是不断优化代码,解决技术难题,并为全球用户提供一个稳定、强大的工具。尤金·罗谢尔是一位纯粹的技术极客和天才程序员。他用代码定义了自己,用卓越的产品影响了世界,同时又成功地将自己隐藏在了这些产品背后,保持着一个开发者最纯粹和专注的状态。1993年,第一个版本的RAR格式和对应的命令行程序发布了。它凭借比ZIP更高的压缩率,很快在技术爱好者中获得了关注。但真正让RAR走向大众的,是图形化操作系统的兴起。WinRAR的诞生与崛起随着Windows 95的巨大成功,图形界面成为了主流。罗谢尔看到了这个机遇,与他的兄弟亚历山大·罗谢尔(Alexander Roshal)合作,在1995年4月22日,正式发布了为Windows系统量身定做的压缩软件——WinRAR。WinRAR不仅仅是给RAR算法加了一个“壳”,它还带来了许多革命性的功能,使其在与WinZip等软件的竞争中脱颖而出。相比早期ZIP格式在处理非英文字符时可能出现的乱码问题,RAR格式对Unicode的良好支持,让它在中国用户中迅速赢得了口碑。“永不过期”的试用:一个独特的商业模式WinRAR最让用户津津乐道的,莫过于它那“名存实亡”的40天试用期。从法律上讲,WinRAR是一款共享软件(Shareware),用户可以免费下载和试用40天。40天后,每次启动软件,都会弹出一个窗口,提醒你购买许可。但有趣的是,即使你不购买,软件的所有功能依然可以正常使用,只是需要多点一下鼠标关掉那个弹窗。这种看似“佛系”的策略,实际上是一种非常高明的商业模式:“永不过期”的试用让WinRAR得以在全世界,尤其是在对软件付费意愿较低的地区,实现病毒式的传播,几乎成为了个人电脑的“装机必备”软件,培养了数以亿计的用户习惯。对于个人用户,官方采取了“闭两只眼”的态度。但对于注重软件合规和版权的企业用户,购买许可是必须的。庞大的个人用户基础,使得WinRAR在企业市场拥有极高的知名度和认可度,从而保证了稳定的收入。中国区的特色模式: WinRAR在中国区由代理商运营,并且探索出了独特的盈利方式。早期,它与下载站捆绑,后来则在软件中加入了广告弹窗。虽然这些弹窗有时会打扰用户,但也确实让这款“免费”软件得以在中国持续运营和更新。压缩的原理压缩的原理是一个非常有趣的话题,它是我们数字世界的基石之一。无论是发送照片、听音乐,还是打包文件,背后都离不开压缩技术。我们可以将压缩的原理归结为一个核心思想和两大主要分支。核心思想:消除“冗余”所有数据压缩的根本目的,都是为了消除信息中的“冗余”部分,从而用更少的数据位(bit)来表达相同或近似的信息。“冗余”可以理解为数据中重复的、可预测的、或不那么重要的部分。想象一下这个句子:猫猫说:“喵喵喵喵喵。”这句话里有大量的冗余。我们可以用一种更聪明的方式来记录它,比如:猫(重复)说:“喵(重复5次)。”你看,我们用更短的描述表达了完全相同的信息。计算机压缩算法做的也是类似的事情,只是它们处理的是由0和1组成的数据流,并且方法要复杂和高效得多。两大分支:无损压缩 vs. 有损压缩根据压缩后能否完美地恢复原始数据,压缩技术被分为两大阵营。无损压缩 (Lossless Compression)顾名思义,无损压缩可以100%地、完美地将压缩后的数据还原成原始数据,不会丢失任何一点信息。寻找数据中统计学上的冗余。它通过识别数据中的重复模式和规律,并用更短的符号来表示它们。常见算法举例:行程长度编码 (Run-Length Encoding, RLE): 这是最简单的压缩算法。它会寻找连续重复的数据,并将其记录为“某个数据 + 重复次数”。原始数据:AAAAABBBBBBBWWWWRLE压缩后:A5B7W4 (5个A,7个B,4个W)这种方法对简单的图形(如logo、图标)非常有效,但对内容复杂的文本效果不佳。哈夫曼编码 (Huffman Coding): 一种基于统计的巧妙方法。它会分析数据中所有元素(比如文本中的字符)出现的频率,给出现频率最高的元素分配最短的编码,给出现频率最低的元素分配最长的编码。在英文中,字母 e 出现的频率远高于 z。标准编码(ASCII)中,e 和 z 都占用8个bit。但哈夫曼编码可能会给 e 分配一个2-bit的编码,而给 z 分配一个10-bit的编码。总体算下来,整个文件就会小很多。LZ系列算法 (Lempel-Ziv): 这是目前最主流的无损压缩算法,是 WinRAR、ZIP、7z 等软件的核心。它的原理是建立一个“字典”。当算法在数据中前进时,它会不断地将遇到的新词组存入字典。如果再次遇到这个词组,它就不再存储词组本身,而是存一个指向字典里该词组的简短“指针”(例如,“回到前面第X个位置,复制Y个长度的数据”)。在20世纪70年代,数据存储和传输的成本非常高昂。当时主流的压缩技术是基于统计学的,其中最著名的是哈夫曼编码(Huffman Coding)。哈夫曼编码的原理是分析数据中字符出现的频率,给高频字符分配短编码,给低频字符分配长编码,从而实现压缩。这种方法很有效,但有一个核心前提:你必须预先知道数据的统计特性,或者需要扫描两遍数据(第一遍统计频率,第二遍进行编码)。这使得它对于实时传输的数据流,或者内容特性不断变化的复杂文件来说,显得不够灵活和高效。当时的科学家们正在寻求一种更通用的、适应性更强的压缩方法,一种不需要预先了解数据内容就能工作的“通用算法”(Universal Algorithm)。故事的主角是两位来自以色列理工学院(Technion – Israel Institute of Technology)的学者:亚伯拉罕·蓝波(Abraham Lempel)和雅各布·立夫(Jacob Ziv)他们两人致力于信息论和数据压缩的研究,并构想出了一种革命性的新方法。核心思想:用数据自身作为“字典”Lempel和Ziv的核心创想是颠覆性的:为什么我们需要一个预先定义的、固定的编码本(字典)呢?我们完全可以用数据自身来动态地创建这个字典!他们的基本逻辑是:在一段不完全随机的数据中,某些字符串序列很可能会重复出现。如果我们能找到这些重复的部分,并用一个简短的“引用”来替代后面的重复序列,就能实现压缩。这个“引用”就相当于告诉解压程序:“回到前面第X个位置,复制Y个长度的数据”。基于这个核心思想,他们在信息论领域的顶级期刊《IEEE Transactions on Information Theory》上连续发表了两篇里程碑式的论文,分别提出了两种具体的实现算法。1. LZ77算法 (1977年)1977年,他们发表了题为《A Universal Algorithm for Sequential Data Compression》(一种用于序列数据的通用算法)的论文,正式提出了LZ77算法。滑动窗口(Sliding Window) LZ77的实现方式非常巧妙。它在数据流中维护一个“滑动窗口”,这个窗口分为两部分:一部分是刚刚处理过的历史数据(作为“字典”),另一部分是即将要处理的待编码数据。 算法会努力在历史数据中为待编码数据寻找最长的匹配项。如果找到了,就输出一个指向历史数据的(距离,长度)对;如果找不到,就直接输出原始字符。这个“滑动窗口”的思想成为了后续许多压缩算法的基石,包括大名鼎鼎的 DEFLATE 算法,后者正是我们今天每天都在使用的 ZIP、GZIP 和 PNG 等格式的核心。2. LZ78算法 (1978年)一年后,即1978年,他们又发表了第二篇论文《Compression of Individual Sequences via Variable-Rate Coding》,提出了对前一思想的另一种实现——LZ78算法。显式构建字典(Explicit Dictionary) 与LZ77不同,LZ78不再使用滑动窗口,而是从头开始,逐步地、显式地构建一个字典。它会不断读取新的字符串,如果这个字符串不在字典里,就把它添加进去,并输出(字典中上一个匹配项的索引 + 当前新字符)。LZ78的思路更清晰,也更容易在硬件中实现。它直接催生了一个非常重要的商业化变体——LZW算法(Lempel-Ziv-Welch)。LZW由美国学者Terry Welch在1984年对LZ78进行了优化,后来被广泛应用于GIF图片格式和早期的Unix compress命令中,是计算机数据压缩技术第一次大规模普及的功臣。Lempel-Ziv算法的由来,可以看作是数据压缩技术从“静态统计模型”向“动态字典模型”的一次革命性转变。它摆脱了对数据先验知识的依赖,是一种真正自适应的“通用”压缩算法。LZ77和LZ78这两种看似不同但思想相通的实现,为后来的压缩技术发展开辟了两条主要道路。从ZIP文件到PNG图片,从网络传输到数据存储,我们今天的数字生活几乎无处不在地享受着Lempel和Ziv这两位学者在40多年前的开创性工作所带来的便利。为了表彰他们的贡献,IEEE在2004年将他们的算法命名为“IEEE里程碑”。我为什么对这个压缩算法比较了解,这与我曾经参与过的一个项目有关。在我读研究生的时候,Sony的PlayStation 3发布,里面用的CPU叫Cell,是三家公司合作研发的,这3家公司分别是Sony,Toshiba和IBM,简称STI联盟。这个Cell的CPU非常奇怪,当时大家都是搞对称多核,比如2个,4个,8个,16个核心,但是这个Cell是9核心。传统CPU就像一个(或几个)能力全面的“大管家”,每个核心都能处理各种复杂的任务。而Cell的设计则像是一个一个大管家带着八个小专家的团队。1个“大管家” - PPE (Power Processing Element): 这是一个基于IBM PowerPC架构的通用核心,相对传统,负责运行操作系统、协调任务和处理常规逻辑。它的任务是“发号施令”。8个“小专家” - SPE (Synergistic Processing Elements): 这才是Cell的精髓所在。每个SPE都是一个精简但高效的矢量处理器,它们不处理复杂的通用任务,只专注于一件事:大规模的并行浮点运算。这正是3D图形、物理模拟和视频编解码等任务最需要的计算能力。它们负责“干苦力活”。理论上,当PPE将任务完美地分解并分配给8个SPE(PS3中为确保良率,只启用了7个)协同工作时,Cell能爆发出远超同期传统CPU的恐怖计算性能,其浮点运算能力在当时达到了惊人的230 GFLOPS,这在消费级产品中是前所未闻的。但是,这对编程来说是个灾难。Cell的理论性能无比强大,但要将其转化为实际的游戏画面,却给游戏开发者们带来了巨大的痛苦,甚至被形容为“地狱般的编程体验”。但是也要推广啊,IBM就到学校里去推广这个Cell,先从学生入手。提交了就有2000还是3000的钱,如果再得一个奖,就更多了,我就跟2个同学去报名了,不管会不会,先报上名再说。反正大家都不会。每个SPE都拥有自己的一块高速但极小的本地内存(256KB)。开发者必须手动编写代码,将需要处理的数据从主内存搬运到SPE的本地内存,计算完成后再手动搬回去。这个过程极其繁琐且极易出错,稍有不慎就会导致严重的性能瓶颈。如何将一个复杂的游戏任务(如物理计算、AI、音频处理)完美地拆分成多个子任务,并让所有SPE高效地协同工作,这对程序员的并行编程能力提出了前所未有的高要求。我们3个的目标是拿到这个钱,就做了一个相对简单的,把7-zip这个开源的代码,移植到这个Cell上跑,然后证明这个Cell确实比单核的NB。后来我们确实拿到了钱,每个人分了1000块。不过也让我意识到,多核编程并不适合所有的任务。LZMA是字典式压缩,压缩过程中的每一步都严重依赖前一步的结果。算法需要不断地在巨大的“字典”(刚压缩过的数据)中回头查找最长的匹配项,这个过程是线性的、串行的,很难拆分成8个独立的并行任务。 压缩算法充满了对比特和字节的操作、整数计算以及复杂的逻辑判断,几乎不涉及浮点运算。而SPE是为海量的浮点数学运算而生的,这是图形学和科学计算的核心。SPE的内部逻辑单元很简单,没有复杂的“分支预测”等功能,它喜欢执行重复、直接的指令。SPE依赖于从主内存到其256KB本地小内存的高速数据传输(DMA)。它最喜欢可预测的、连续的数据块。而LZMA的随机字典查找会彻底破坏这种模式,导致SPE不断地请求零碎、不连续的数据,大部分时间都浪费在等待数据“喂”到嘴里,而不是在计算。最终,所有这些复杂的、无法并行的逻辑和任务调度都只能由那个唯一的“大管家”PPE来处理。而PPE本身只是一个性能尚可的通用核心,它很快就会不堪重负,成为整个系统的瓶颈,而那8个强大的SPE“专家”却无事可做。用Cell跑7-Zip,是一种典型的“让英雄无用武之地”的场景,无法发挥Cell的任何架构优势,最终的性能表现自然也不会理想。这恰好证明了在计算机世界里,“最合适的”远比“理论上最强大的”更加重要。有损压缩 (Lossy Compression)有损压缩则会永久性地、有选择地丢弃一部分数据,以换取极高的压缩率。当然,它丢弃的不是随机数据,而是人眼或人耳最不敏感的数据。利用人类感官的生理和心理特性(心理声学模型和心理视觉模型)。我们的感官系统并非完美,对某些信息的感知能力有限,有损压缩正是利用了这一点。常见算法举例:JPEG (图片)人的眼睛对亮度的敏感度远高于对色彩的敏感度。JPEG会保留大部分亮度信息,但会将一些相近的色彩“合并”成同一种颜色,从而大大减少数据量。对于一张色彩丰富的照片,这种细微的色彩损失你几乎无法察觉。它会将图像分解成不同频率的波形,并大量丢弃代表图像细节(如纹理)的高频部分,因为人眼对平滑的低频部分更敏感。MP3 (音频)利用“遮蔽效应”,这是心理声学的核心。当一个很强的声音(比如鼓声)和一个很弱的声音(比如微弱的弦乐)同时出现时,你的耳朵很可能只能听到那个强的声音。MP3编码器就会聪明地把那个你反正也听不到的弱声音直接从数据中剔除掉。MPEG/H.264 (视频)视频压缩是集大成者。它不仅会对每一帧图像进行类似JPEG的有损压缩,更重要的是,它会分析帧与帧之间的差别。如果画面中只有一个人在说话,背景是静止的,那么压缩器就没必要把每一帧的背景都重新存一遍。它只会存储一次背景,然后只记录接下来几帧中发生变化的部分(比如嘴部的动作)。简单来说,当你需要保证数据的绝对保真时,选择无损压缩;当你追求更小的文件体积且能接受微小质量损失时,有损压缩是更好的选择。这两类技术共同协作,才支撑起了我们今天高效便捷的数字生活。WinRAR的核心算法属于无损压缩技术。更具体地说,它主要基于大名鼎鼎的 LZ系列算法(Lempel-Ziv),并在此基础上进行了大量的优化和改进,形成了自己独特的、专有的压缩算法。WinRAR的算法是一种高度优化的、专有的无损压缩技术。它以LZ系列字典式压缩为核心,并融合了固实压缩、特定数据预处理等多种先进技术,使其在压缩率和功能性上长期处于行业领先地位。WinRAR的故事,是一个关于技术、远见和独特商业策略的成功案例。它诞生于一个对文件压缩有迫切需求的时代,凭借其创始人出色的技术实力和对用户需求的精准把握,迅速占领了市场。而它那“永不过期”的试用模式,更是在商业世界中显得独树一帜,最终成就了它在全球范围内无与伦比的普及度。时至今日,尽管云存储和各种新兴传输方式不断涌现,但WinRAR依然是许多人电脑中不可或缺的工具之一。下一次,当你熟练地右键点击文件,选择“添加到压缩包”时,可以回想一下这个由俄罗斯程序员兄弟创造的、已经流行了近三十年的软件传奇。

Duck. Breathe. Pulse. Repeat. The beat hits, and everything else steps aside. In this episode, Chris & Jody journey into the hidden choreography of sound—where one signal controls another, and side-chaining becomes more than a trick. It becomes feel. What starts as a lesson in DAW setup and MPC Live integration quickly morphs into a deconstruction of space, impact, and the rhythm behind rhythm. Compression is the hammer. Side-chaining is the sculptor. Basslines yield to kicks. Pads inhale and exhale. You'll learn the how, sure. The routing. The thresholds. The tools. But more importantly, you'll learn the why—the artistic intent behind the technical choices. Oh, and the usual chaos? It's there. Along with Friday Finds that might just blow a few fuses (in the best way). Plug in. Tune out. Let the side-chain lead. #SideChainSecrets #StudioAlchemy #SonicSculpting #MixingWithEmotion #HomeStudioCraft #AudioMovement #InsideTheRecordingStudio #CreativeMixing

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering! Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan. Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition? Thank you.

**Discussion begins at 5:15**In the 1970s and 80s, the USSR had a dedicated branch of the navy researching “anomalous phenomena”, which used Soviet submarines to track USOs in the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, Lake Baikal, and the Arctic Ocean. These objects allegedly moved at impossible speeds, changed directions instantly, and were seen emerging from or diving into the water without creating splash disturbances. Then, in 2009, a number of documents related to the USSR research into UFOs/USOs revealed the story of the Lake Baikal swimmers. There were declassified reports that 7 Navy divers on a training mission in Lake Blaikal, the world's oldest and deepest lake, had encountered mysterious humanoid beings underwater. These figures, which came to be known as the Baikal Swimmers, were 9-10 feet tall, wearing tight silver suits with umbrella like helmets on their heads, but lacked scuba gear or breathing apparati. The divers told their superiors who instructed them to capture one. The divers again made contact with these acquatic beings, but failed to capture one as a sudden and powerful force allegedly repelled them. As a result, the divers all were propelled to the surface and leading them all to suffer from decompression sickness. Three of the divers died as a result. But what were the swimmers really? Extraterrestrial? Unknown sea creature? – perhaps one of the many species endemic only to Lake Baikal.. Or is this another urban legend gone viral? Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

In this comprehensive episode of the HVAC podcast, Bryan hosts an in-depth discussion about dehumidification technologies with two industry experts: David Schurk, National Sales Manager for Innovative Air Technologies, and Nikki Krueger from Santa Fe Products. The conversation explores the fundamental differences between compression refrigeration dehumidification and solid desiccant systems, providing valuable insights for HVAC professionals dealing with moisture control challenges. David Schurk brings 44 years of industry experience and serves as an ASHRAE Life Member and Distinguished Lecturer, teaching humidity control professional development courses. His expertise focuses on solid desiccant dehumidification systems for industrial and heavy commercial applications. Nikki represents Santa Fe Products, pioneers of whole-house ventilating dehumidification technology since the mid-1990s, and discusses the growing residential and light commercial market demands driven by tighter building construction and stricter energy efficiency requirements. The discussion delves into the critical importance of understanding dewpoint versus relative humidity measurements, a fundamental concept that often confuses technicians in the field. The experts explain how the dew point remains consistent throughout a space while relative humidity can vary dramatically based on temperature differences between rooms, floors, and ceilings. This understanding is crucial for proper system design, troubleshooting, and customer education, especially as homeowners become increasingly aware of indoor air quality concerns. The conversation also addresses the intersection of building science and dehumidification technology, emphasizing that proper moisture control requires both well-designed building envelopes and appropriate mechanical systems. From residential applications dealing with tighter construction and mechanical ventilation requirements to industrial processes like lithium battery manufacturing requiring extremely low humidity levels, the experts highlight how different technologies serve specific market segments while sometimes overlapping in commercial applications.

Auto encoders are neural networks that compress data into a smaller "code," enabling dimensionality reduction, data cleaning, and lossy compression by reconstructing original inputs from this code. Advanced auto encoder types, such as denoising, sparse, and variational auto encoders, extend these concepts for applications in generative modeling, interpretability, and synthetic data generation. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/36 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY. Thanks to T.J. Wilder from intrep.io for recording this episode! Fundamentals of Autoencoders Autoencoders are neural networks designed to reconstruct their input data by passing data through a compressed intermediate representation called a “code.” The architecture typically follows an hourglass shape: a wide input and output separated by a narrower bottleneck layer that enforces information compression. The encoder compresses input data into the code, while the decoder reconstructs the original input from this code. Comparison with Supervised Learning Unlike traditional supervised learning, where the output differs from the input (e.g., image classification), autoencoders use the same vector for both input and output. Use Cases: Dimensionality Reduction and Representation Autoencoders perform dimensionality reduction by learning compressed forms of high-dimensional data, making it easier to visualize and process data with many features. The compressed code can be used for clustering, visualization in 2D or 3D graphs, and input into subsequent machine learning models, saving computational resources and improving scalability. Feature Learning and Embeddings Autoencoders enable feature learning by extracting abstract representations from the input data, similar in concept to learned embeddings in large language models (LLMs). While effective for many data types, autoencoder-based encodings are less suited for variable-length text compared to LLM embeddings. Data Search, Clustering, and Compression By reducing dimensionality, autoencoders facilitate vector searches, efficient clustering, and similarity retrieval. The compressed codes enable lossy compression analogous to audio codecs like MP3, with the difference that autoencoders lack domain-specific optimizations for preserving perceptually important data. Reconstruction Fidelity and Loss Types Loss functions in autoencoders are defined to compare reconstructed outputs to original inputs, often using different loss types depending on input variable types (e.g., Boolean vs. continuous). Compression via autoencoders is typically lossy, meaning some information from the input is lost during reconstruction, and the areas of information lost may not be easily controlled. Outlier Detection and Noise Reduction Since reconstruction errors tend to move data toward the mean, autoencoders can be used to reduce noise and identify data outliers. Large reconstruction errors can signal atypical or outlier samples in the dataset. Denoising Autoencoders Denoising autoencoders are trained to reconstruct clean data from noisy inputs, making them valuable for applications in image and audio de-noising as well as signal smoothing. Iterative denoising as a principle forms the basis for diffusion models, where repeated application of a denoising autoencoder can gradually turn random noise into structured output. Data Imputation Autoencoders can aid in data imputation by filling in missing values: training on complete records and reconstructing missing entries for incomplete records using learned code representations. This approach leverages the model's propensity to output ‘plausible' values learned from overall data structure. Cryptographic Analogy The separation of encoding and decoding can draw parallels to encryption and decryption, though autoencoders are not intended or suitable for secure communication due to their inherent lossiness. Advanced Architectures: Sparse and Overcomplete Autoencoders Sparse autoencoders use constraints to encourage code representations with only a few active values, increasing interpretability and explainability. Overcomplete autoencoders have a code size larger than the input, often in applications that require extraction of distinct, interpretable features from complex model states. Interpretability and Research Example Research such as Anthropic's “Towards Monosemanticity” applies sparse autoencoders to the internal activations of language models to identify interpretable features correlated with concrete linguistic or semantic concepts. These models can be used to monitor and potentially control model behaviors (e.g., detecting specific language usage or enforcing safety constraints) by manipulating feature activations. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) VAEs extend autoencoder architecture by encoding inputs as distributions (means and standard deviations) instead of point values, enforcing a continuous, normalized code space. Decoding from sampled points within this space enables synthetic data generation, as any point near the center of the code space corresponds to plausible data according to the model. VAEs for Synthetic Data and Rare Event Amplification VAEs are powerful in domains with sparse data or rare events (e.g., healthcare), allowing generation of synthetic samples representing underrepresented cases. They can increase model performance by augmenting datasets without requiring changes to existing model pipelines. Conditional Generative Techniques Conditional autoencoders extend VAEs by allowing controlled generation based on specified conditions (e.g., generating a house with a pool), through additional decoder inputs and conditional loss terms. Practical Considerations and Limitations Training autoencoders and their variants requires computational resources, and their stochastic training can produce differing code representations across runs. Lossy reconstruction, lack of domain-specific optimizations, and limited code interpretability restrict some use cases, particularly where exact data preservation or meaningful decompositions are required.
