If you'd imagine the growth somewhat like a material paste, if the material flow is constant and if the branches grow with equal length, then da Vincis rule follows, no matter the individual branch girth. I suspect da Vinci wasn't

Sounds to me like trolling. Pressumably they were using the map editor to make warp zones and trigger areas and discovered this impish creation by combining the two. I doubt Romero knew about this trick but I can imagine he left the questio

I find that Google is actually losing ground as the all-seeing-eye-reference-objective-truth due to the increasingly tailored searches. I can no longer refer to a search query and expect a peer to see the same results as I do. This social b

The point is that the GAN is trained to model the "probability distribution" of the descriptions it's trained on precisely so that the concepts are generalized and can be synthesized/extrapolated. Once trained, you may f

Sometimes it is not the substance of the reply that matters but the way in which you respond. It's called performativity. Women are more sensitive to this, and introspective guys typically fail at it.

Photons travel in 3D space and may only be occluded by 2D surfaces. There is no getting around that fundamental aspect of reality. In this universe.

What would be the benefits of the 3D VR? There will always be a 2D bottleneck on your eyes' retina. The most important perspective clue I would say is temporal sampling. For dynamical systems, Takens theorem says that a high dimensiona

I've long wondered how the world would appear if we had a different set of cone cell photoreceptors and if a full spectrum engine could be used to simulate that by projecting a different set of spectrum ranges to our eyes. It would sti

The Gödel sentence is uncomputable but is commonly held to be true. A non-constructivst would probably be more inclined to say that something which is uncomputable can exist. But it is not obvious (to me). Noteworthy is that Per Martin-Löf

Surely there's some order in this "reading list" where new discoveries can take priority based on circumstantial factors of the digging site alone.

These figures could be the universal pictoral symbols for numbers. I especially like the triangle figures since the triangle is the 2D simplex. https://domodernlife.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/nodal-lines...

The slogan should probably be "Learn about your body." Also, there may be some truth to the second part which resonates with what Arnold says: "Shock your body!"

I see these in Sweden. Self-serving checkouts are booming here too. Personally I hate them, it's the same masturbatory horror as with VR goggles. But the tech will improve and become more seamless I'm sure. And human interaction w

Thanks for the correction. I'm sure I've heard biographers (Jessica Goldestein perhaps?) describe his faith as having had a strong influence, but I must have misconstrued it quite a bit as memory faded. You're right, he was r

Yeah, it is certainly not a clear cut distinction. You know, I initially listed automatic transmission as an example of augmentation. So it goes both ways too. Anyway, they highlight different aspects and I find the notion elucifying.

Gödel was motivated by convictions about meta-mathematics, motivated by his Catholic fatih. Perhaps a purely mechanistic world view would have eventually generated the same result, e.g. Turing's halting problem, but who knows.

Isn't it strange how the probabilistic motivation of Occam's razor loses its foundation when applied to a Theory of Everything? Simple is beautiful, that's all I've got.

I liked that part of the DARPA-demo the best for sure. It seems obvious that vehicle suspension should be dynamically controlled by software anticipating the terrain. (Maybe cars already have this technology to some extent? I'm not sur

Technology is naturally more augmentation than automation. This is closer to the future of driving than the self-driving AI solutions. Our senses will be aided and some tasks out-sourced. This is already happening, has always been happening

This is how a title like this fails to make impact. Whether it's information theory, semiotics or grammatology, language is soon reduced to the merest coding of information, implicit or explicit, as any medium of sense (or non-sense).

I think you can be more empathetic with humans too, interpret me right. One could object that you are anthropomorphizing the natural world, meaning your sentiment is still in the end just rooted in the human experience. But I think that&#x2

Foucault is spot on in saying in this day of age we are obsessed with sex and its labels. Sadly I don't see much liberation in the HBQT movement. All those labels are just shackles on a heavy chain of controlling discourse.
