The widespread use of fertilizers could be the case. The thing is, we possibly don't know all the necessary nutrients, and causing an imbalance as the result, where some elements are supplied in excess and others are missing. The myopi

It doesn't matter if the star is smaller than the pixel. You can see them individually as long as you can resolve the distance between them.

by PavlikPaja 8y ago
You only need to resolve the distance between stars, not the stars themselves.

Chinese characters are syllabic.

I learned English. The spelling is a nightmare, you essentially need to learn it twice. Chinese at least doesn't pretend to be phonetic. You also need smaller vocabulary in Chinese - 3500 characters is all you need. English vocabulary

That's only true when you already speak English, or at least another Germanic or Romance language. Otherwise, all this applies to English exactly the same as it does to Chinese.

I suppose it will be their fourth language for many, as they will still want them learn Swahili and/or English. But I know almost nothing about Kenya, so I may be wrong.

Memory palace works essentially by storing arbitrary things in your spatial memory. Most people have well developed spatial memory, as there is no practical method that could replace it. It's much better long term if you actually push

It was just random RGB colors. I didn't train for it and I doubt it's possible to learn anyway.

I know, it's less clear, but there are colors, I have tested that with a random color generator. The colors are imprecise in the far periphery, but the basic colors can still be seen. I guess my vision may indeed be abnormal as somebod

Random color generator. The precision goes down on the far periphery, (the colors usually look more saturated than they are), but the basic color is right. In near-mid periphery (~45°), the colors seem normal.

It indeed seems I have much better peripheral vision than most people, so you might be right. As I wrote in the other post, I have tested that I can definitely see color in my peripheral vision.

Thank you for your concerns, but I'm pretty sure I can see for real, I'm not imagining anything.

by PavlikPaja 8y ago
I'm pretty sure I can actually see in my peripheral vision, only not as clearly. Including colors, I have tested that before.

I'm not sure what you mean, I don't stop seeing when I stare at something. Yes, the sharpness obviously drops away from your central vision, yet you can still see with FOV well over 180°. (Not sure if it's actually 190°, so I

Why would you imagine a beam, when your field of view is over 180°?

I wonder how is the lack of this effect connected to autism.
112.
by PavlikPaja 8y ago
I think I experience the opposite, focusing on nothing in particular and only occasional brief flashes of focus, when I need to focus on something. Are people really more or less unaware of what is going on around them all the time?

Monsters University was the first pixar movie that used global illumination, which means that modern games with VXAO will be better in some aspects than any pre-MU pixar movie, but the level of detail will be obviously a great deal lower.

>Also your own sources contradict the claim "Autistic people were never thought to lack emotions". Where?

Autistic people were never thought to lack emotions, in fact many complain about feeling too intense emotions. The article is garbage. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2518049/ https://

Maybe the opposite? The repeats make speakers of non-tonal languages notice the tones that they normally filter out from speech, and to them it sounds odd.

Only that the article says the exact opposite - the participants were LESS empathic if they believed the person's behavior was due to mental illness.

"probability must be between 0 and 1" - why? (I get it's used in mathematics, but I see no reason why a NN would have to output probability that way.) "and being wrong on a confident prediction gives huge penalties usin
