Without diminishing Bill, many have called this out for a long time. I blame the ever-bloodthirsty corporate media complex. They even applauded their avowed arch-enemy Trump as soon as he decided to lob a few missiles into Syria, that shoul

Nitpick, ratios of °C do not make physical sense. For ratios of temperatures you should first convert them to Kelvin, Rankine, or something similar. Accordingly, the ratio of 1430°C to 100°C is roughly 1703/373=4.6.

Yeah I think so, too! If we can solve vertical stacking that would make an absolutely huge difference!

I think you'll find that backpropagation was essentially developed (multiple times) during the 60s in the field of control theory and first implemented in the early 70s. Ed: To be clear, the idea to use them to adapt the weights of NNs

Just what I thought! When someone's a sufficiently bloody nuisance, ban them from the airline for some time. What is it with people who think everything must be done by gov't?

Wow, I didn't know that this eventually knocked out a whole array of satellites! I wonder if there was restitution of some kind to the respective operators. Edit: It seems the only disabled commercial satellite was Telstar [1], where i

No amount of vaccination will avoid everyone getting infected sooner or later. The vaccinated who die will have died with vaccination mandates or without them. The unvaccinated who die fall into two groups. Those who would also have died va

It won't keep up like this. It is inevitable that sooner or later everybody will have been infected at least once. Covid-19 will have become just another seasonal respiratory infection that everyone catches for the first time when they

Oops, sorry for the mix-up! I can't speak to the hospitalisation numbers, but I'd be very surprised indeed if the situation there was similar.

Even given (for the sake of argument) that there was cause for hope at some point, that's not an excuse to cling to that hope indefinitely, especially when it demands the violation of other people's bodily autonomy. That hope is d

There was data from Denmark, Germany, and a third place a couple of weeks ago where the share of Omikron infections in the vaccinated was 10-15% points greater than the share in the total population (like 70% vacc/total vs 80% vacc&#x2

I think these were measured shortly after reaching full vaccination status (>=14 days after second shot). That seems to be a different thing than, say, six months after vaccination.

The problem is the people who still believe vaccines would end the pandemic if only (here comes the timeline, locally we're at t=0). t=-1: 70% were vaccinated t= 0: 100% were vaccinated t=+1: 100% were vaccinated & boostere

I'm not sure I understand the ARM manual example. It seems obvious that an operation should not be able to see what is supposed to happen "after" it executes, and that a time-like construct should not contain loops (outside o

What's also quite cool that it discourages and additionally impedes usage of the function, because it really is called by a different name. I think it's true name is, ermmm, "nlnPrfrmNT". (I've ultimately decided to

Congrats for that fine strawman of yours! Perfection is not required, your analysis is faulty.

It depends on what you encourage people to identify as. I predict better results from someone who identifies primarily as a "human truth-seeker" than from a "$immutable_characteristic $ideology world-improver".

Men in general value money and status more highly and therefore sacrifice more in their pursuit. An observer who concentrates solely on the monetary outcome sees only half of the picture.

When parents can freely choose who schools their children, the ones that place a premium on how well they are schooled are free to invest relatively more than those who do not. This gap between value creation and value capture can be bridge

We need a healthy plurality of world views and the freedom to live them. That is the correct point of view, both from a moral and a consequentialist perspective. If we have a global monoculture then any flaw in that might doom the whole of
