Probably caused by not understanding CPU architectures. Comparing two 8-bit integers and two 32-bit integers takes the same number of cycles on a 32-bit processor, but only because the CPU designers have accepted greater space complexity to

One of the reasons that the EU documents work so well is that they're painstakingly written simultaneously in all the official languages. There is not a master copy from which other translations are made. This also means that if, say, the G

That's true, but most of modern AI is about designing useful intelligent agents, rather than creating artificial consciousness.

Steganography is only useful when no-one knows to look for it, if they do it is trivial to detect.

I think the case can be made more easily for government involvement in education than in almost any other area of life. Purely because in a certain small % of cases, parents simply won't take any steps to see their children educated. That i

I think the word pivot is over-used. When I think of a person pivoting, I see someone more or less in the same place but facing a different direction. A company that pivots does the same, but changing the product completely isn't a pivot by

Yes, the number of multiplications will be linearly dependent on the number, unfortunately the computational complexity of integer multiplication is not itself O(1). It can seem like it is, because modern CPUs can perform integer multiplica

The Schönhage–Strassen algorithm is a commonly used fast multiplication algorithm that has complexity O(N log N log log N), wouldn't a naive factorial function based on this have complexity O(N^2 log N log log N) ?

Yes, that would make sense. Take into account though that for many people most of their gym time is overhead, especially if they don't have equipment at home. A large % of time is taken up by getting to and from the gym, getting changed, ta

I think all you need are good channel descriptions, that way a novice who knows a little Python can choose to watch a stream of someone with 3-4 years Python experience rather than someone with 20 years of C experience doing linux kernel ha

I don't think that's such a good example. Doctors don't build medical equipment, nor do they do anything in that class. Coders write software and the operating system, compiler, VM, etc. that they use as tools are also software. If we want

This is very difficult because the carrier can/will apply various signal processing algorithms to voice streams, these will really screw with your modulated data.

Well, physics didn't change, but our understanding of it did. Modern read heads are based on the giant magnetoresistive effect which was only discovered in 1988. It's actually one of the fastest transitions from fundamental physics discover

Well, I'm pretty I'm sure at least 6th generation Dutch. The patrilineal line I know better and goes back further. On the other hand, I don't live in The Netherlands. I went to an English university, Scottish and American schools, and now w

This is sort of true, but short vowels at the end of words (the case system) are not generally useful for non-Muslim language learners. Why is this? Well, in the Qur'an, they are written (as are all short vowels). Also in some voweled class

Well, the syntax and vocabulary (keywords and such) of even a large programming language like Java or C++ is regular, and tiny compared to a natural language. What is hard about programming has very little to do with learning a programming

I agree totally with #1, the root system is very cool. The diglossia has two sides to it, on the one hand it makes it harder to structure learning because the basic phrases that are the bread and butter of every other language learning prog

Free speech does not include planning a riot, any more than it does threatening to kill someone. This is one of the few exceptions to otherwise very strong rights to say whatever you want.

If they'd just generally called for a riot that would be one thing (possibly still illegal), these guys set a particular time and place which is what did them in. Blackshaw at least (because he actually showed up for his planned riot, the o

This is not the case. If you have N spatially separated antennas then you can transmit information at a rate of N * the Shannon limit. This is the case with MIMO as well, except in MIMO both of your terminals have N antennas. This DIDO conc

I'm guessing they selected words from a large corpus of written English based on their relative frequency. It isn't surprising that there isn't any technical vocabulary. Most technical vocabulary falls into one of the following categories:

Sure, but remember that a lot of these Nortel patents are hardware patents. Does anyone have a link to a good overview of what kind of things are in the portfolio?

It is, I've been doing a bit of poking around in the patent applications filed by this guy recently and that seems to be the gist of it. Unlike normal MIMO though, only the base station has multiple antennas, the mobile stations have one an

You usually have to pay income taxes on income earned while you're resident in a country. If you're on a tourist visa, you're not resident, but really the visa regimes aren't set up to understand this way of working. In practice just pay ta
