I think they should freeze the language for the next 10 years or so.

It makes no sense to replace a meaningful and helpful criterion - whether it breaks code or not - by some purely subjective assessment of what's a "major change." That just leads to usual version creep, from "Go 2.2&quot

I realize I should have been more precise. I agree that there are many areas in which AI can and already has excelled humans and less often makes grave mistakes than humans. I specifically had natural language processing with a focus on &qu

The problem seems to be that these models provide fairly accurate information at many occasions and occasionally complete blunders. Humans provide less accurate information most of the time but with a certain amount of self-reflection/

Potentially stupid questions: Aren't there efficient techniques to prevent web scraping? And if Google really scrapes web content from them without their permission, wouldn't that be commercial copyright infringement which falls u

How about this: exponential in the beginning == this part of the function can be approximated by a function a e^x b where a>0 and b>1 vs. first derivative bounded away from zero in the beginning == any function that increases, includi

I'll assume you replied to the wrong comment and didn't intend to insinuate that mandating the wearing of masks is a crime.

You're nitpicking out of context, I didn't give a definition of an exponential function, I was talking about the spreading of the Covid 19 disease. For example, the R0 value of SARS-CoV-2 was estimated 5.8 in the US and "...b

Blessings to you, all that tells me is that you've never had a real inconvenience in your life.
251.
by 13415 5y ago
That's a bit misleading. As long as the R value is above 1 the spreading is exponential. That follows directly from how the R-value is defined. What you mean is that the curve will take a sigmoidal shape for a while once the number o

You get used to wearing masks very fast and it's no big deal. They can be inconvenient. So what. Independently of the question whether masks are needed or not, it's bizarre and unreasonable that people still get heated about this

GP said it hasn't been shown to be extremely mild, not that it has been shown not to be extremely mild. It's too early to tell since the first known cases were skewed towards young people.

Maybe you're right, it's difficult to judge from that web page. It depends a lot on how they intend to carry out the funding process and the web page doesn't say much about it. I assumed it's something like Patreon, whic

That is some pretty strong armchair folk psychology. I'd rather put the run-off-the-mill social Darwinist economics talk aside and focus on ways to evaluate a grant recipient's progress, with a positive attitude and helping them a

What's the function, if I may ask? Is it to be more persuasive, or not to get pinned down easily?

It's one of those things I'd like to have but I'd be too embarrassed to own it even if I was a billionaire.

Of course it's down. That is the one and only time I wanted to check something on it on Saturday evening.

Annual boosters for all volunteers or annual boosters for risk patients seem to be the most likely future strategy, depending on the approach of the local health authorities and the number of infections in the future. Just like with influen

Or just use the HTML table tag, it's better and also works on older browsers.

Pure coincidence, I got a exceptionally good postdoc grant there that fit my research profile and decided to stay after it ran out. I really came to like the country and its people the longer I've stayed.

As a foreigner living and working as a long-term resident in Portugal (with a Portuguese salary and paying Portuguese taxes, of course), my impression is that the problems are systemic and long-term. There is no overnight solution but thing

Maybe I'd consider using such a tool in 2025 when Windows 10 runs out of support. Until then, the idea to install Windows 11 on an unsupported machine seems crazy to me. Who would do that? I haven't heard of a single feature Windo

You mean the UK, not Europe in general. The UK is not even part of the EU anymore and has been steering towards authoritarianism for two decades already - together with the US as their closest ally.

Whatsapp is monetizable. They're tapping into the almost realtime conversations of a billion users, their images and videos. They can extract a ton of information from that to sell to advertisers. And unlike Facebook, Whatsapp is still

In my opinion computationalism is the only non-mysterious explanation of how the mind/brain works in principle. By "computationalism" I mean either any process that can be expressed by reducing formulas in the untyped lambda

Thanks. I think it's because of my router.
