As far as I can tell, the newsworthy part is that they achieve fusion using their "two-phase" which is supposedly different than conventional tokamaks such as ITER uses. I'm not sure how either of those technologies exactly w

I agree that people have been reckless with population safety in past, but your comment seems to imply that the Millenial generation are somehow flawless with regards with this subject. While safety is now more stringent than in the past, I

It is a filter in the sense that it can track the system state from one (or more) noisy measurements. The filter part thus reflects the input denoising.

The Dutch don't really care about his boat, but they care about a bridge. This bridge, "De Hef", is a symbol of Rotterdam. People are proud of it. Several years ago it was temporarily dismantled and almost permanently removed

Conditions may apply. If you're homeless or living in a country with ongoing war, disease or hunger the likelihood that you have to worry about any of these things goes up dramatically.

It's most certainly not obvious how the relation df(x)/dx = f(x), the ratio between the diameter and circumference of a circle , and the square root of -1 -- a "trick" to extend the number line with a second dimension --

Essentialy, you do the same thing as an FFT for separation. A gaussian blur is a low-pass filter, and functionally the same as selecting all frequency component within a radius r of the DC component (assuming the DC component is in the cent

Another explanation: Ryanair is a budget airline and was able to buy more 737-Maxes at a very low price, making their already cheap tickets even cheaper, allowing them to increase profit margins and cementing their status as the cheapest ai

One of the advantages of using the CPU rather than GPU for inference (especially with batch size 1) is that it doesn't need data transfer from host to device, which is a notoriously slow, asynchronous process. This could also explain t

Looks cool! Two questions: - Is this approach also learning the palette? It is kind presented as a given here but it is of course very important for a good dithering. - The loss function might work better on spatially downsampled images. Th

You mean like arxiv-sanity? As I understand it, it trains a SVM on papers you like to suggest papers that are on the same side of the hyperplane. Could be used as a quality classifier by only liking high-quality work.

No the resolution can be set at will, down from microns to centimeters (depending on the gradient system and sequence). But! The amount of signal per voxel depends on the magnetic field strength. So with tiny voxels there is hardly any sign

There is some renewed interest in low field scanners. Past four decades have mainly been pushing for higher fields to improve SNR. But low field has a few advantages: - no need for superconducting magnets. This is a big win for developing

No. More teslas are needed for more signal to improve the signal to noise ratio. And there is a lot of noise with portable non-shielded MRI. The only way to compensate for this is by having bigger voxels (3-5mm per voxel rather than the sta

Sure, but you never know which way it will go but this is assuming the 737 MAX gets recertified by the FAA and operators are going to buy them because it is cost-effective or whatever. This means that the group that doesn't have a 73
