I'm no expert on ocean current modelling but it seems to me you should multiply the probabilities from each find, not add them up.

Surely the value of this is that it provides a counterexample to a long-standing conjecture. The proof that it is a counterexample may not be too enlightening, but that's hardly the point.

"But those huge powers you gave yourself, they still stay there, making all sorts of actions technically illegal. It's the state which decides when it wants to enforce them." It's not only to the state that the power acc

That's exactly how I'd do it! What's supposed to be the better way? Modulo/division by three and five?

Agreed it does seem unlikely that one could observe fundamental particles by looking inwards. Probably best to understand his use of language from particle physics as analogy. I don't suppose old Goenka had much of an education in mo

Exactly what claim are you disputing about cloud chambers? According to Wikipedia they were extremely useful to the discoverers of the positron, the muon and the kaon.

A corollary of Parkinson's Law is that, whatever language you start with, your neural net project will expand to fill the processing power available to it.

I'll second this. I've plenty of work to do, but trying to do it from home has meant I'm not even on the road to recovery. If you're not too proud, you might be best off getting some part-time menial job on a temporary

Your conjecture as to the surface area of a hypersphere embedded in 4 dimensions (a "3-sphere") is not borne out :) The answer is in fact d^3 pi^2 / 4. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere#Volume_

Or Windows. Anyway my point was, why force your readers to find and use a compiler when you could just give the answer below? Not sure why I got downvoted.

Is this your own insight or do you have references? It's a little hard for me to make sense of your position based only on what you've written here.

You seem to be saying that meditation is not a reliable way to hang on to your ego. That should go without saying.

In the paper you reference, an 'optimal transport' problem does indeed arise in connection with Cournot-Nash equilibrium. However the naming is a coincidence, it is unrelated to the problem of finding the most efficient routing o

by alimw 11y ago
Are you saying that an equilibrium is Cournot-Nash if it does manage to "simultaneously minimize both the expected commute cost for the group and for each individual"? Not sure that's right...
