Monitoring in the software engineering world continues to grapple with poor signal-to-noise ratios. It's a challenge that's been around since the beginning of software development and will persist for years to come. The core issue is the overwhelming noise from non-essential data, which floods systems with useless alerts. This interrupts workflows, affects personal time, and even disrupts sleep.Sebastian dove into this problem, highlighting that the issue isn't just about having meaningless pages but also the struggle to find valuable information amidst the noise. When legitimate alerts get lost in a sea of irrelevant data, pinpointing the root cause becomes exceptionally hard.Sebastian proposes a fundamental fix for this data overload: be deliberate with the data you emit. When instrumenting your systems, be intentional about what data you collect and transport. Overloading with irrelevant information makes it tough to isolate critical alerts and find the one piece of data that indicates a problem.To combat this, focus on:* Being Deliberate with Data. Make sure that every piece of telemetry data serves a clear purpose and aligns with your observability goals.* Filtering Data Effectively. Improve how you filter incoming data to eliminate less relevant information and retain what's crucial.* Refining Alerts. Optimize alert rules such as creating tiered alerts to distinguish between critical issues and minor warnings.Dan Ravenstone, who leads platform at Top Hat, discussed “triaging alerts” recently. He shared that managing millions of alerts, often filled with noise, is a significant issue. His advice: scrutinize alerts for value, ensuring they meet the criteria of a good alert, and discard those that don't impact the user journey.According to Dan, the anatomy of a good alert includes:* A run book* A defined priority level* A corresponding dashboard* Consistent labels and tags* Clear escalation paths and ownershipTo elevate your approach, consider using aggregation and correlation techniques to link otherwise disconnected data, making it easier to uncover patterns and root causes.The learning point is simple: aim for quality over quantity. By refining your data practices and focusing on what's truly valuable, you can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, ultimately allowing more time for deep work rather than constantly managing incidents.

Foundations of Amateur Radio After recently talking about noise, today I want to discuss gain, specifically antenna gain. When you say that your antenna has 18 dBi gain, what does that mean? This entire discussion starts with an isotropic radiator or antenna. It's often described as the perfect antenna, but rarely is there any description on how that actually works, so I'd like to start there. Before we dig in too much, it's worth remembering that an isotropic antenna is a thought experiment, it cannot physically exist, but it's a useful tool for comparing antennas. Antennas have a physical size. There's often a direct relationship between the size of the antenna and the frequencies for which it works best. A lower frequency means a longer wavelength and corresponding large antenna to handle that radio frequency. In contrast, an isotropic antenna is infinitesimally small and responds equally well for all frequencies. Similarly, unlike an actual antenna, an isotropic antenna is symmetric in all directions, that is, there's no difference between the back or the front, the top or the bottom, the left or the right. You can position an isotropic antenna in any orientation and there's no difference, not just no detectable difference, no actual difference. The radiation pattern is a perfect sphere. As I said, the isotropic antenna is an imaginary, let's call it, ideal antenna, that's used as the base reference to measure all antennas against. When you use the word gain in relation to an antenna, you're using the unit dBi and in doing so, you're comparing the antenna against this imaginary perfect isotropic antenna. When you see that the gain of an antenna is 2.15 dBi, you're saying that this antenna performs better than the isotropic antenna and does so by 2.15 dB. There's one "minor" detail missing in that statement. The full statement, often completely overlooked, is that this antenna performs better than the isotropic antenna and does so by 2.15 dB, in some directions, but not all. Said differently, antenna gain comes from distorting the ideal, perfect sphere into different shapes. For example, the 2.15 dBi gain of a horizontal dipole antenna distorts into a squashed doughnut on its side. In other words, there are directions where a dipole radiates better and has an increased gain when compared to an isotropic antenna, but there are also directions where it radiates worse, much worse, if at all. In the case of a dipole, it receives best from the side and worst in line with the antenna and I'll point out that the doughnut is also an idealised shape that in turn gets distorted by proximity to other objects, like the ground. Consider that a dipole has 2.15 dBi gain over an isotropic antenna. This means that, for some directions the gain is increased and for some directions it's decreased, perhaps even eliminated. In other words, in some direction, the antenna amplifies the signal and in other directions it attenuates the signal, potentially even to zero at a so-called null in an antenna radiation pattern. As I've said before, an antenna receives a combination of both wanted signal and unwanted noise. For an isotropic antenna all signals, from any direction, both wanted and unwanted, are treated the same. This is not true for an antenna that has gain. Consider an antenna that exhibits gain in one specific direction and loss in all other directions. If you were to point that antenna at a wanted signal, the incoming signal would be amplified in that direction and attenuated in all other directions. If noise comes from all directions equally, most of the noise would be attenuated and only a little bit of noise coming from the same direction as the wanted signal is amplified. Overall, this means that the total amount of incoming noise is reduced in comparison to the wanted signal. In other words, the noise floor is reduced and the signal level is increased, making the signal more audible above the noise. This means that the impact of antenna gain is that the Signal to Noise Ratio is improved for an incoming signal in comparison to local noise. Notice also, that the antenna gain works in multiple ways. It serves to improve the local signal to noise ratio, by attenuating noise and amplifying a wanted signal, but it also increases the transmitted signal that's sent towards the other station. Both affect your station's performance, but do so at different sides of the communication link and because we're talking about two separate signals, an incoming one and an outgoing one, the optimal direction might not be the same for both. So, now what do you think the impact might be of adding an 18 dBi Yagi to your station? I also have a supplementary question. If a commercial antenna is compared with a dipole, using the dBd unit, is the antenna compared to the entire radiation pattern of a dipole and if so, at what height from what type of ground and is that a useful comparison, or hiding the true performance of such an antenna?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.11.519975v1?rss=1 Authors: Zhang, X., Halassa, M. M., Chen, Z. S. Abstract: The mediodorsal (MD) thalamus is a critical partner for the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in cognitive flexibility. Animal experiments have shown that the MD enhances prefrontal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in decision making under uncertainty. However, the computational mechanisms of this cognitive process remain unclear. Here we use performance-optimized computational models to dissect these mechanisms. We find that the inclusion of an MD-like feedforward module increases robustness to sensory noise and enhances working memory maintenance in the recurrent PFC network performing a context-dependent decision-making task. Incorporating genetically identified thalamocortical pathways that regulate signal amplification and noise reduction further improves performance and replicates key neurophysiological findings of neuronal tuning. Our model reveals a key computational mechanism of context-invariant, cell-type specific regulation of sensory uncertainty in a task-phase specific manner. Additionally, it makes experimentally testable predictions that connect disrupted thalamocortical connectivity with classical theories of prefrontal excitation-inhibition (E/I) imbalance and dysfunctional inhibitory cell types.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.28.514155v1?rss=1 Authors: Deane, K. E., Garcia-Rosales, F., Klymentiev, R., Hechavarria, J. C., Happel, M. F. K. Abstract: The brains of black 6 mice (Mus musculus) and Seba's short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata) weigh roughly the same and share the mammalian neocortical laminar architecture. Bats have highly developed sonar calls and social communication and are an excellent neuroethological animal model for auditory research. Mice are olfactory and somatosensory specialists and are used frequently in auditory neuroscience, particularly for their advantage of standardization and genetic tools. Investigating their potentially different general auditory processing principles would advance our understanding of how the ecological needs of a species shape the development and function of the mammalian nervous system. We compared two existing datasets, recorded with linear multichannel electrodes down the depth of the primary auditory cortex (A1) while awake, across both species while presenting repetitive stimulus trains with different frequencies (~5 and ~40 Hz). We found that while there are similarities between cortical response profiles in bats and mice, there was a better signal to noise ratio in bats under these conditions, which allowed for a clearer following response to stimuli trains. This was most evident at higher frequency trains, where bats had stronger response amplitude suppression to consecutive stimuli. Phase coherence was far stronger in bats during stimulus response, indicating less phase variability in bats across individual trials. These results show that although both species share cortical laminar organization, there are structural differences in relative depth of layers. Better signal to noise ratio in bats could represent specialization for faster temporal processing shaped by their individual ecological niches. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.01.510246v1?rss=1 Authors: Larry, N., Zur, G., Joshua, M. Abstract: The basal ganglia and the cerebellum are major subcortical structures in the motor system. The basal ganglia have been cast as the reward center of the motor system, whereas the cerebellum has been hypothesized to be involved in adjusting sensorimotor parameters. Recent findings of reward signals in the cerebellum have challenged this dichotomous view. To directly compare the basal ganglia and the cerebellum we recorded from oculomotor regions in both structures from the same monkeys. We partitioned the trial-by-trial variability of the neurons into reward and eye-movement signals to compare the coding within and across structures. Reward expectation and movement signals were the most pronounced in the output structure of the basal ganglia, intermediate in the cerebellum, and the smallest in the input structure of the basal ganglia. These results indicate different information convergence properties within these structures and demonstrate differences in internal computations. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Then: Bret’s challenge to Ibram Kendi, which includes a simple proof involving dogs and anti-racism. And: the left are increasingly gullible; we provide an example from a class action lawsuit in California against the use of CRT in state agencies. Finally: Is widespread vaccination during a pandemic safe?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.15.341602v1?rss=1 Authors: Lecoq, J., Oliver, M., Siegle, J. H., Orlova, N., Koch, C. Abstract: Progress in nearly every scientific discipline is hindered by the presence of independent noise in spatiotemporally structured datasets. Three widespread technologies for measuring neural activity - calcium imaging, extracellular electrophysiology, and fMRI - all operate in domains in which shot noise and/or thermal noise deteriorate the quality of measured physiological signals. Current denoising approaches sacrifice spatial and/or temporal resolution to increase the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of weak neuronal events, leading to missed opportunities for scientific discovery. Here, we introduce DeepInterpolation, a general-purpose denoising algorithm that trains a nonlinear interpolation model using only noisy samples from the original raw data. Applying DeepInterpolation to in vivo two-photon Ca2+ imaging yields up to 6 times more segmented neuronal segments with a 15 fold increase in single pixel SNR, uncovering network dynamics at the single-trial level. In extracellular electrophysiology recordings, DeepInterpolation recovered 25% more high-quality spiking units compared to a standard data analysis pipeline. On fMRI datasets, DeepInterpolation increased the SNR of individual voxels 1.6-fold. All these improvements were attained without sacrificing spatial or temporal resolution. Techniques like DeepInterpolation could well have a similar impact in other domains for which independent noise is present in experimental data. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Community is often the heart of membership sites but working out the best way to introduce it to your membership isn’t as easy it might seem. Often, we see debates around how to host membership communities that end up focusing on quantity of engagement, rather than quality. Quantity isn’t a bad thing, but it’s not always what you’re actually aiming for. If you want to find the signal in the noise and determine the right community model for your membership site, you’re going to need to dig a little deeper into your purpose, your membership structure, and the goals your audience have. This episode of The Membership Guys podcast will help you do that digging! Essential Learning Points: What the Signal vs Noise ratio is in communities and why understanding the differentiation is important Why understanding your membership and its purpose is key to deciding the role your community should play What we have learned (and are still learning) about our own experiments with forums and Facebook groups Important Links & Mentions: https://www.themembershipguys.com/should-you-use-a-forum-or-facebook-group-for-your-community/ (Should I use a Forum or Facebook Group for my community?) https://www.themembershipguys.com/really-need-membership-community/ (Do You REALLY Need to Add a Community to Your Membership?) https://www.themembershipguys.com/membership-forum/ (How to Add an Online Forum to your Membership Website) https://www.facebook.com/groups/membersitemastermind (Membership Mastermind from The Membership Guys) Key Quotes: “It is crucial to understand that activity and engagement are not the same thing.” “The importance of your signal to noise ratio will depend on how important community is to your membership.” “We’ve clearly defined the role of the forum and the Facebook group, and how the two connect. Because of that, we’re not experiencing any problems.”  “The type of role that your community plays is entirely up to you and it’s going to be dependent on what you know will work best for your audience.”

Podcasting is both a creative and a technical medium. It’s creative in that we CREATE content. But it’s also technical in that there are a lot of little things to do. Because of that, there’s also a LOT of jargon. I know that when I got started, there was still a pretty steep learning curve. And I’d already been involved in music and audio production.  There were so many new terms to learn. Not to mention that there were best practices and little tips here and there that i needed to pick up. Today I’m going to talk about 5 common terms in podcasting that confuse a lot of people but we’re going to use them in relation to podcasting only. Are there any podcasting or audio production terms that have you stumped? Leave a comment in the episode notes.

Does Dal always believe in Patrick? A few in-store customer anecdotes. Do people use the New Release monitor we have mounted over the New Releases? Patrick went to DoomCo Designs “Survive” art show opening reception. TV on in the store vs music. And that transitions into a discussion about the disappearance of previous media formats. When looking for an exact specific thing that a stores doesn’t have, do you buy a different thing instead? Interesting customer requests today. Marvel’s Jan 2020 output vs DC’s (thanks to Ryan Higgins of Comics Conspiracy for crunching the numbers). New Year’s Day’s new comics, and maybe a Midnight release…?

Signal-to-noise ratio is one of the fundamental principles of design, which is also relevant in the context of presentations.

First, I give you my initial reactions and use cases for my new Sennheiser MKH-416 microphone. *NOTE: This is not an in-depth review or anything like that. Also, don't miss two revealing samples of audio: Audio Technica 8035 vs SennheiserMKH-416 My processed MKH-416 on my stream called Meditate With Chris I also discuss the 416's: Specifications (at the bottom of this post) Quality: Lots of smooth clarity in mid and high end. Smooth low end. My accessories: Shock mount, My laser gun holder Testing close miking: Definitely getting plosives even when using the included foam windscreen. Plosives are easy to fix in post, but if you're streaming Live it would be awesome to avoid the plosives going out on the Livestream. My streaming use case: Picks up my HVAC unit really well, mostly because there are no walls in between. My Portico II processing: 48v Phantom Power, since mic is not close to my mouth I'm adding quite a bit of low end at 220 shelving, rolling off the low end around 80 Hz, using the Blue Silk mode, and my usual amount of to-tape compression (mild). ANNOUNCEMENT: I started the Daily Goody! I discuss a use case for Auphonic Multitrack - leveling all voices to the same LUFS level before mixing and editing. I describe me EQ'ing the last quarter of a guests track because she moved away from the computer and there was suddenly background noise and she also lost some clarity.

This works deals with the Ion Cyclotron Emission (ICE), a plasma instability that takes place both in astrophysical plasmas and in fusion energy facilities like Tokamaks and Stellarators, when a population of high energetic ions is present. These fast ions can interact with the waves which propagate in the background thermal plasma and excite instabilities in the Mega-Hertz range. This emission can be measured in a non-intrusive way with radio-frequency probes and provide information on the characteristics of the fast ions. The hope of a new diagnostic sparked many studies in the years 1992-2002 but, in spite of the theoretical and experimental progresses, no practical instrumentation was achieved. There are indeed two main difficulties: first, the ICE involves many different types of plasma phenomena: waves propagation, resonances, conversion and absorption in complex geometries, core and edge plasma modelling, fast ion creation and trajectories; all these aspects are entangled. Therefore, accurate data both in time and frequency domains and a theory that covers these physics fields are necessary to distinguish the impact of these different phenomena. Second, there are technical difficulties in measuring high-frequency signals with a sufficient Signal-to-Noise Ratio to discriminate it from the background noise. The purpose of this study is to address these issues with the use of the latest acquisition technologies and an improved ICE theory, which can relate in a new light the properties of the fast ions to the characteristics of the emission.

Episode 6 - Signal to Noise Ratio on Forums and FB Groups We start by talking about the not so informed discussions on gear forums and facebook groups and the echo chamber created. Kenny brings up the idea that room treatment has become a lot more important to novices than most professional. Will brings up the idea that people are getting focused on small things and completely missing some big ones. Then Kenny brings up the over-importance of Mastering Engineers and how mixing is taking a back seat. And how Mastering engineers are being required to fix bad mixes. Kenny then also brings up what a Mastering engineer is supposed to be. Matt also brings up how much more sense it makes to make a 3 or 4 song EP instead of making full records. That's all folks.

K1971 PODCAST - DJ T-1000 aka Alan Oldham Alan Oldham has been called "Detroit Techno's Renaissance Man" (Musik, UK).A lifelong cartoonist and graphic designer, a young Oldham published his own comic book "Johnny Gambit" in 1987 to local notoriety. Hired that same year by his childhood friend Derrick May to illustrate several memorable pieces for the new Transmat label, this led to Oldham's first involvement in the fledgling techno scene. Besides his art and writing, 1987 also saw Oldham's radio debut on Detroit's WDET-FM with the long-running 'Fast Forward' program. Originally meant to be a free-form rock, jazz and fusion show, Oldham's passion for both local and international electronic music gradually took centerstage until it finally became the only radio program in Detroit to feature techno and house music exclusively. The early cassette, reel-to reel and four-track material of such (now) well-known international artists as Underground Resistance, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Octave One, Anthony Shakir, and Richie Hawtin made its on-air debut here, as well as being the first and only show to break international acts like Moby, Joey Beltram, 808 State, LFO, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, and others in Detroit. In 1988, Oldham graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Radio-TV-Film. In 1990, having finally produced his own EP at a friend's studio, Oldham sold the project to a small Dutch label whose fax number he found in the record bins of Recordtime. His pseudonym for the four-track project was Signal to Noise Ratio released by the small Dutch label, DJAX Records. After the release of the EP, label boss Saskia "Miss DJAX" Slegers hired Oldham to create the graphic identity of DJAX-UP-BEATS. Ten years on, DJAX dominates the Dutch techno scene and Oldham's trademark visual style still defines the label. In 1992, Jeff Mills left Underground Resistance to become a solo act. "Mad" Mike Banks, needing an immediate replacement DJ for a month-long Austrailian live tour, tapped Oldham for the job. Without rehearsals, Oldham took the leap of faith that changed his life. Jump start into infamy. Leaving his increasingly-thankless WDET airshift behind forever and adopting the onstage personal of DJ T-1000 (taken from the shape-shifting liquid metal cyborg in "T2"), Oldham began rocking decks for UR and never looked back, setting the stage for subsequent UR "assault DJs"Rolando and James Pennington. Upon returning from UR's triumphant Austrailian tour, Banks again tapped Oldham's many talents, this time asking him to create a label to be distributed by a new company that Banks was organizing, a distributorship that would within a few years come to dominate the Detroit landscape: Submerge. Oldham agreed and his second and most successful attempt at a label, (the first was the disasterous Technika records 1989) would be called Generator. It was also during this time that Oldham once again became prolific, artwise. A fully-painted "Danger Girl" comic strip in Muzik UK and the album cover for Astralwerks "Beyond The Third Wave" (ASW6170) compilation marked 1995, as well as his debut retrospective at Detroit's Cement Space Gallery and a new "Miss DJAX" comic. With his solo career in full swing, however, it was time for his music to follow suit. Oldham established the Pure Sonik label in 1996 with the double-barreled, double-vinyl statement of intent "Pure Sonik Manifesto" (PURE1). This move garnered his first cover story in Magic Feet (UK), and a music video that aired on MTV UK's "Party Zone". Three years later, the label continues to feature Oldham's production talents as DJ T-1000, the best moments of which can be found on the CD/2x12", "A Pure Sonik Evening" (PURE10) . In 1998, Oldham began an alliance with legendary German techno label, Tresor when their label manager vacationing in Detroit, was blown away be his demo tracks. Signing him on the spot, the first product of that transatlantic union was "Jetset Lovelife EP" (Tresor87) and his debut performance at the Tresor club in Berlin. In between a solid year's worth of DJ dates both in the US and abroad, the release of his first-ever mix CD "Live Sabotage" (BML/X-Sight 6386), and many personal changes at home, Oldham delivered his debut album "Progress" (Tresor128). It was released in Europe in October 1999 and a world tour quickly launched, capped by an epic, four-and-a-half hour set at the Tresor Club, broadcast live over the internet. "Progress" was bracketed by the dual release of "Codes And Structures Vol 1" (PURE11) and "Vol 2" (PURE12) on his own Pure Sonik label. As the new millenium began, Oldham produced a second mix CD "The Last DJ On Earth" (PURE14) , launched 2 websites (both for label and his art), participated in DEMF 2003, released of another album "Neutra" (PURE17CD), and a return to artwork. After over a decade in the music business, DJ T-1000's job of World Sonik Domination is never done. Oldham in 2006 started his first-ever, low-tempo/experimental, CD-only label, "xfive." and presented its first release, "The Art of Transformation" (X5001CD) inspired by his art gallery openings in France, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Germany. Another "Art of Transformation" CD released in January 2008. In 2009, Oldham released an all new Johnny Gambit comic with accompanying original soundtrack with 2nd installment and soundtrack finished in March 2013, awaiting release.2012 saw the rise of the moniker, Detroitrocketscience (first appeared on xfive), and debut of label of same name with the release of a series of 10" records in 2012/2013.
