Marc may personally feel one way, and credit to him for writing that essay; his wife and family may have a different opinion, and in families, compromises are a norm. The letter was signed first by Laura.

gus_massa: Since you are likely an expert, could you recommend a resource that explains how you use the Lagrangian equation for the standard model [1] to actually compute a predicted value for the electron's g ? An elementary resource

"if modern cryptography is broken": this statement has many interpretations. In the context of the OP paper, approximately solving the t-bounded Kolmogorov complexity (in a precise technical sense described in that paper) is aki

An even more tantalizing result by the prolific Rafael and Yanyi is the following paper [1] which discusses how to relate the existence of one-way functions to the assumption that BPP \neq EXP (two classes). If you spend the time understand

I am an academic and I am against this type of study. My main objection is that it wastes the valuable time of the website operator for little benefit. It is immoral to waste people's time. Many IRBs are unaware that these kinds of &q

Dividends are not an efficient mechanism to return cash to investors. The recipient is forcefully taxed. Share buybacks technically accomplish the same; the proportional increase in shareholder value should be the same. However, investors

I suspect the story is a bit more complicated. They seem to learn a lot by centralizing a lot of the internet's traffic through their core. Perhaps it makes their ddos-protection more robust when they can train on "what normal us

NO WAY. It is impossible for me to explain how/why it works so well.

A good friend of mine at Google is the technical lead of this project (he has a Phd Princeton, and was a professor before joining Google). I've tried it in person and it was truly amazing. They used some very fancy tech when I saw the

UPDATE: based on Wikipedia [1], the "API" was likely saved by one of these people (all likely in their mid-20s!): Emily Barnet, 2020, Yale (2015) Diana Li Kim, 2020, Yale (2017) Arjun Ramamurti, 2020, Yale (2

Which of Breyer's clerks drafted this? They clearly understand many tech issues and I hope they find their place on some Federal circuit to herald an era of logic in tech law. "Google’s limited copying of the API is a transforma

I just tried the app in hopes of retiring my ScanSnap S1300 from ages ago. It is remarkably snappy. Does the AI processing happen on the phone or on the cloud (Pixel 3 user) ?

Quick math: Density of air at sea level: 1225 g/m^3 C02: 0.0383% by volume (383 ppmv) corresponds to 0.0582% by weight. Ergo, 1m^3 of air has 0.713 g of C02 in it. Ergo pulling 1 metric ton (10^6 grams) of C02 per day requires processi

I love a day when I see/understand an idea that is new to me. This is an extremely well written paper. A high-school student with motivation could understand all of it in about 1 week of work. The key idea here is in Lemma 3.3 which i

These pithy rules and sayings make for clickbait. But nobody seems to give good examples of when they said no to focus. VCs like to brag about the "deals they missed" just to remind you that they were in the room where it happe

The story is unfortunately sparse on the details of how the recycling works (whether there is any truly new idea). Based on the "furnace" picture and language about melting down the batteries, it seems like their approach is to ju

There was also "some good news" briefly, but that was purchased by ViacomCbs. Maybe this OP is also looking for a media deal.

At apple, you cannot browse internal resources. At fb and google, it is called SWE instead of SDE. Amazon has SDEs. (perhaps netflix too?) Although you might be smart enough to know that and misdirect. Even at the best universities, best t

(1) Interesting that this is presented as a webpage instead of a normal paper on eprint or arxiv. (2) If Mike Hamburg is behind it (no author information is available on the page), then it has high credibility. I would take objection to the

I have served on dozens of NSF computer science funding panels at the small (500k), medium (1.5m), and large (3m) levels. These review panels are not blind, and decisions are based on (a) what problems are explained in the grant, and (b) p
