I might be the only one, but reading the article and the discussion here, I can't help but ask a bigger picture question on whether it is worth putting so many pilots through the torture of flying F-16's and F-35's. G-locking

Did the same person write all these books, which altogether amount to upwards of 10k pages? From his website, he is quite an active research mathematician too. While just writing so many textbooks is a huge accomplishment in itself, the aut

I had never about Ruth Kluger before this article, and I think it is, in general, very hard to come by her viewpoint as a layperson, who is not European and/or Jewish, because the popular media (e.g. movies like Schindler's list)

I think the questions asked by researchers in #2 are very different from those by that of #1. The questions mostly surround the why's and how's of AI, i.e, mathematical questions. To take examples from deep learning, #2 might ask

What strikes about the theory Lippmann develops in this piece back in 1919, is that the entire argument remains coherent and powerful just as is, a hundred years later in 2019. In the meantime, various implementations of democracy across th

I have a theory as to why Engelbart (and in general, some other thinkers far ahead of their time) have trouble being appreciated and why "serious" computer scientists (in general, academics) of their time met them with a "thu

This article makes some excellent hypotheses about music that I think everyone can anecdotally confirm. To explain the attributes of the brain some of these hypotheses allude to, in terms of programming, imagine you have a class. It consist

Could you explain why the restriction over selling user data would be a violation of first amendment rights? Overall, isn't your last point also the source of problems? If the whole idea is to be able to exert regulatory control, to pr

The author notes "Let us hope there are no real-world applications" when describing the Navier-Stokes regularity and smoothness problem. It looks like he meant to write the opposite and this was an error. However, in some sense, t

I haven't thought about this carefully but is it correct to say the probability of finding n as the leading digits for a bounded m (but both very large) is a decreasing function of n?

Very cool! Is there a pattern in the sequence of m's? It feels as though there must be some bounds on the terms of the sequence on m's given that the probability of appearance of n as the first digits decreases with n, in the sequ

Sorry for the naive question but can anyone explain why hosting an IPv6-only server can help with decentralization? As a provider of some service, say you have a website where you publish some work, is there any advantage of setting it up a

I completely agree with you. When it comes to academic writing, the content transforms itself into a more coherent entity as I write. Oftentimes the big picture seems laughably inadequate and even inaccurate when I look at the final product

Their data might be small steps in the right direction though. My field is not neuroscience but from the outside, it seems that neuroimaging techniques are considered the best way to noninvasively understand more about functioning. Primar

There is certainly only one math (if you subscribe to this idea -- it is also the truth) but many ways of doing it. Given doing math (at least at the research level) requires a staggering variety in thought and being able to make connectio
