I've got an audio file and I think that the lower pitches are too loud and I want to make them quiet. I don't want to remove them entirely, just make them quieter. I suspect that it is possible to do this with Audacity, but I can't figure out how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ― Panamitsu (talk) 02:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Do "the boundary conditions u(0,t)=0=u(L,t)" imply the use of instrumentation or mechanics? As part of the solution to u(x,t), D_subscript_n was solved using integration. Afrazer123 ( talk) 06:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
I always use my laptop (a Dell Latitude) plugged in to the power supply. Every so often, apparently completely at random, the power indicator in the system tray starts strobing, as if the battery needs charging. Soon after the "Your battery level is very low" warning flashes up, and the computer goes into hibernation. When I restart it, battery level strobes for a few more seconds, but then stabilizes back at 100%. Can anyone suggest a reason for this behavior? Would a new battery help, or am I looking at replacing the whole power unit (if that's even possible)? Rojomoke ( talk) 06:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
This isn't really a computing problem, but I'll ask here. My cousin and I needed to get the area of a piece of land that is bounded by a hexagon. He used a planimeter and he sent me a printout from Google Earth, with the lines drawn and a line segment scale showing "1000 feet". I used a website that will give the area of quadrilaterals (with the hexagon broken into two quadrilaterals). I double-checked with county tax maps, which gives the area of a more inclusive area. My method gave a result that was inconsistent with the other two methods. The only way to reconcile the methods is if the 1000-foot scale on Google Earth is actually about 730 feet.
Can the scale on Google Earth be that far off? ` Bubba73 You talkin' to me? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
I want to know when Adobe's patent for DNG expires. The Wikipedia article has a section about it but no certain expiry date. I think patents expire after 20 years, but I searched the web and couldn't find the filing date, or anything really. Thanks for your help. Commander Keane ( talk) 06:53, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
For each circuits, Groth16 requires to compute a point f such as f=s×G. While revealing the scalar s used for computing f would allow to produce fake proofs, f can be exposed to the public.
But how to retrieve the point f for a given circuit as a circuit user ? In which parameter ? The circuit in question is created using the circom prover. 2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:6867:6FFB:B9F6:EFF9 ( talk) 11:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm going to use examples from Wikipedia itself, but this is not a question about how Wikipedia works - instead, I'm asking about IPv6. At WP:AIV, there's an automatic option to shorten an IPv6 to just 64 bits (16 characters), followed by two colons "::" and then "/64".
Normally, it seems that despite removing detail, all the edits from that shortened IP are from the same person. Is this always true, and if so, what's the purpose of these extra characters at the end? Cheers. LucasR muteacc ( talk) 05:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
What do people think is the best AI detector? I frequently use gptzero.me, but zerogpt.com gives me different values. Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 15:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
As far I understand it correctly, GF(Integer) is used to declare a finite field which can for example be used for declaring an elliptic curve (this is what I want to do).
But why using a very large composite number (2 or 3 thousands bits long) seems to take too much time to feasible ? How to declare a dummy elliptic curve without using GF() ?

I'm coding a tip calculator in TI Basic for a TI 84 Plus Silver Edition calculator. The code is as follows:
:ClrHome
:DISP "TIP CALCULATOR"
:Input "COST:", M
:M*0.15->Y
:Disp "15 PRCT:"
:Output (3, 12, Y)
:M*0.20->Z
:Disp "20 PRCT:"
:Output (4, 12, Z)
:M*0.25->X
:Disp "25 PRCT:"
:Output (5, 12, X)
:M*0.33->W
:Disp "33 PRCT:"
:Output (6, 12, W)
However, when I run this program, two things happen I don't want to happen. If I'm on just "Float" on the mode, all numbers goes to three digits (ie 3.829 for a 15% tip on 25.53). Also the last number runs 4 digits, so it's breaking onto the "Done" line. I'm aware if I change Float to 2 in the "Mode" menu, this solves both problems. However, it is tedious to change this back and forth just to run this program. I asked ChatGPT and it told me to use "toString(int", but this isn't available on the TI 84 Plus Silver Edition. Any help?

I'm about to upgrade from an AMD GPU to an NVIDIA one, not for gaming, but for the sake of AI ML and video editing. Will there be any driver issues (including with DirectML, GPUOpen, or OpenCL), so that I'll need to de-install those? 2003:DA:CF11:CF56:691A:42A:6552:8061 ( talk) 19:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hopefully @ PantheraLeo1359531: doesn't mind but I saw they posted a question on Commons that I thought the Reference desk detectives may like to look at...
Mysterious Intel microprocessor/IC:
I recently bought 2 Intel processors (I couldn't resist, as they look so similar to the famous Intel 4004), but I don't know what the purpose could be. Looking at the ceramic package, I can imagine that the product was created maybe between 1972 and 1975. Maybe someone can give a hint?
If you know the answer you can reply here and I will relay to Commons. Commander Keane ( talk) 00:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Just earlier today, while I was at university, I stumbled upon a "This IP address is blocked from editing Wikipedia" banner when I clicked on the edit button of a Wikipedia article to check out some source code. I was like fine, there are thousands of users on this network and so quite inevitable someone's gonna do something bad leading to IP addresses / ranges being blocked from editing. All until I spotted something very odd regarding the IP range that is blocked, compared to the current IP address.
It said, the blocked IP address or range is 122.56.x.x/20, but then it also said, your current IP address is 202.36.x.x. I know quite a bit about subnets and how IPv4 addresses are divided up, so something just didn't seem right to me here! On a /16 to /23 IPv4 range, the left two groups of digits never change. 202.36.x.x is obviously not part of 122.56.x.x/20. I was thinking, how is this possible?!?
If I clicked on the "Talk" or "Contributions" buttons in the upper-right corner, indeed I would get the 202.36.x.x IP address and not one in the 122.56.x.x/20 range. Looking at the IP's contributions, there were like only a dozen or so edits, quite a few from 2019, but absolutely no edits from 2020-2023, and one edit in 2024. The talk page had this shared IP address banner at the top saying that it is registered to the University of Auckland.
According to WHOIS info, the 122.56.x.x/20 subnet is registered to a well-known large ISP for educational institutions here in New Zealand, and the 202.36.x.x IP address is registered under the name of the university itself, with even stuff like the building location address being of the university.
My guess is that the 202.36.* network is actually the university's own "private ISP" kind of network, used for communication between the different campus buildings, while the 122.56.* network is the public ISP that the university network is connected to and is using for internet.
Does anyone else know what's going on here? Man, this issue definitely explains a lot of those IP address unblock requests where the user claims that their IP address is never blocked but they are somehow unable to edit, getting a blocked from editing message. — AP 499D25 (talk) 10:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I am trying to find documentation on the "plan" keyword in Oracle. I am not looking for "explain plan." That is completely different. What I am looking for is the plan keyword in this context:
select a.id from a, b plan a where a.date between begindate and enddate
I have two different Oracle documentation books in PDF. In both if I search for pages with "plan" that do not have "explain", I come up with zero results. Searching the web, I only find explain plan, which has nothing to do with that as far as I can see. 75.136.148.8 ( talk) 20:04, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm curious as to what exactly caused the current CrowdStrike outage. According to this article, [7] the root cause is a single file located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\ and is named C-00000291*.sys. Even though it ends with the sys extension, it is not a kernel driver. I don't have CrowdStrike on my PC and I'm just wondering if this file is a text file, and if so, has anyone compared the broken version with the fixed version and figured out the delta?
