Yes you're right, I completely misinterpreted their comment when I read it this morning.

What system would that be? This seems like pure speculation to me so could you elaborate a bit more?

Multi-armed bandits are used all over the industry. They were in use before TikTok existed.

I remember when I had delusions of grandeur in my mother's basement as well. I'm sure in your mind you're "absolutely wrecking" every person you attack online. As stated by a previous commenter, you should probably

You are really an unpleasant person to interact with. And let me know next time you personally observe a quantum phenomenon with your own senses.

And I guess you're going to invoke some vague connection to angular momentum to do so? We're talking about empirically derived properties. The math certainly predicts the empirical results but it does not give an accurate conceptu

1.) You're talking about a nested comment on a hacker news post. A little perspective is helpful. 2.) You are making grandiose and uncharitable assumptions about the interpretations of things other people said, e.g. equating not having

I think you may have some hindsight bias here. I do not think that when chemical and atomic structures were discovered/understood that knowledge was immediately put to use. Nuclear physics dates back to the late 1800s, it wasn't u

Perhaps isometric would be a better description? We're probably getting into the pedantic weeds here though :-)

If you look up numerical algorithm in Wikiepedia you will find plenty of discussion of error bounds. Of course matrix multiplication performed on exact numbers doesn't have errors, the calculation is exact . Computers and the algori

From my understanding this is almost entirely an engineering problem at this point. The physics behind it has been understood for decades so I'm not sure how much more we'll gain in terms of fundamental physics.

What would such a deal look like? I'm not sure how much they can do to a decentralized entity. There are certainly things they could do but I don't think it can be as effective as if it was a central entity like a corporation.

As I said, it would be a huge coincidence. And no, this could not be due to a measurement error for the reason I already states: there are numerouse indpenedent observations, of completley different consequences of dark matter that all poin

What are you talking about? "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are terms used to describe to _obeserved_ phenomona that we can not explain. And I'm not even sure what a "hypothetical" variable is.

In cosmology, the "Universe" typically refers to the observable universe which is far from infinite. There is nothing to "accept" about the terms "dark matter" and "dark energy", they are colloquial t

This is incredibly ignorant and pretty arrogant to actually think that you know better than thousands of researchers who presumably know far more about this than you. There are numerous independent and unrelated pieces of evidence that poin

You absolutely can jam over a song you don't know inside and out. If everyone did know the song that well then you're just playing the song. Real "jamming" (not trying to be too pedantic with the use of the word) happens

How far apart (roughly) were you and your bandmates? I'm guessing in the same town/city?

But that's not how it works. You are almost always free to use why language you want. There are exceptions to this but in those cases it would be clearly indicated in the job description.

Feynman's argument was about why you can't have systems that decrease entropy continuously. It doesn't disprove that there can (and will) be downward fluctuations in entropy, which is what I believe the OP was asking about. A

If you want to be pedantic about it sure. The fact remains that a discussion or blog post can be about very different things depending on the context. You're not going to learn anything about the relationship between energy and entropy

by Analog24 6y ago
"Entropy" has been a concept in physics for a long time. Far longer than the concept of information entropy.

by Analog24 6y ago
Might be worth clarifying in the title that this is about entropy in the context of information theory.

"Quantum theorists disagree with each other on things comparable to the existence of species. As in, some will say that there is such a thing as wave function collapse, others will say that this is nonsense and there's no such thi

"Equations that can be evaluated numerically that shows the behavior of the EM field..." it's called the Standard Model. You seem far too hung up on the deficiencies of QM, which have been well known for over half a century,

The key insight in this paper is that the new (larger) model was not "fine-tuned" on the downstream NLP tasks. In other words, after it's trained on unsupervised (you could call it self-supervised in this case) data to do sim

I agree with you, that was basically my point. At this point in time we don't know enough about how this will play out to make any claim about what was the more important aspect to consider: the effects on the economy or the effects on

by Analog24 6y ago
I don't think anyone said worry about the economy was an abstract idea. It obviously has a very real effect on people and their health, it has been well studied. I was simply pointing out that what people will consider more significant

by Analog24 6y ago
I think this is likely a biased view. If you ask the families of the 300+k people who died from Covid-19 they probably won't consider the economic impact to be the most significant.

You're just being pedantic and grasping at straws. Whether or not we're using the scientific term for an individual's mindset (which is not quantifiable to a high degree of precision but that doesn't meant it's not
