Eddington is a fictional community, with 2 people: Ed and Sue. Unfortunately, due to lack of housing, they only have 1 house. The decision is made to hand it to Sue, because Ed's _parents_ were alcoholics that drank their life away. Th

That sounds like a lottery for housing, with extra steps? Hypothetical scenario: we have 100 houses, and 200 young families looking for one. Your solution in effect is: let's give 100 houses to the 100 young people with an inheritance.

A common proposal I'm fond of, is that you get a budget (of say 1 million) you are allowed to inherit tax free across the span of your life. This incentivises the rich to split up their fortune, and allows the poor to keep control of o

First, the author is actually wrong. The date is not 5 years before you submit, but is 5 years before the form is received by the home office! So there are a few days of uncertainty, depending on how fast Royal Mail was with the physical do

But imagine the value of finding _any_ living RNA based life which is clearly not from earth before we travel to other stars. It's one thing to know there was once life, and to know basically nothing about it. But being able to date it

The apparent size of the moon is 0.5 degrees. So 0.3 degrees is not _that_ narrow. You can point your finger at the moon.

Voyager is so far away that from its perspective, earth isn't moving. There is also no force acting on voyager. So practically speaking, compared to the distance between them and the 0.3° beam width, both are hanging pretty still. It d

The antenna has a beam width of 0.3°. So it only needs to aim that accurately in the general direction of earth. In general, antennas don't need to aim more or less accurately as they get closer or further away, it is only in function

It is. But! Wasserstein distances are used instead of a KL inside all kinds of VAE's and diffusion models, because while the Wasserstein distance is hard to compute, it is easy to make distributions whose expectation is the gradient wr
