How did it do compared to the baseline of the solvoy kitaev algorithm (and the more advanced algorithms that experts have come up with since)? How (if at all) can the ML approach come up with a circuit when the unitary is too big to explici

A few thoughts come to mind. Some said others not. 1. Seems a bit weird to be looking at the accelerometer data yet miss the obvious approach of summing up the acceleration to get the velocity and then summing that up to get position. Yes I

I am sure that your work in discriminating what's happening deep underground with nothing more than passively recording surreptitiously available signals at the surface level on non-specialist hardware is of interest to a few governmen

I'm pretty torn about this, because I am also deeply skeptical of exactly the sort of situations an IRB is set up to prevent. Things like requiring documents to be signed in pen are an important part of a secure audit trail. And an app

It is not at all obvious that "freely flowing electrical information" isn't just language in a different medium, much the same as video on a cassette tape.

As a point of interest, trains still have these. Though it usually takes the form of a somewhat sporadic alarm and an acknowledgement buzzer. Reaction time to the buzzer somewhat influences the interval of the next one.

I view it as a side effect of linguistic evolution. Sure you could have a bunch of complex rules to strictly type your nouns and limit the type of verbs that validly relate things in one type to another, but if you simply relax the constrai
