I've been staring at those myself for a couple of hours. My best guess is the crosswalk was moved, but the paths were left. There's a lake nearby and tons of parking under the overpasses, with trails and picnic areas. Also, th

A simple (low pass) anti-aliasing filter has a linear drop-off, meaning the greater the difference between the frequency of the signal and the frequency of the noise, the better the signal to noise ratio. On the other hand, sampling rand

There was another highly critical book from the same era that said that the Japanese were trying to use AI to adapt their more traditional writing system to computerization and it would be madness for other countries to throw money at AI in

This article is crap. It was not a cable stayed bridge, and the tower and pipes (not cables) to be installed later were purely cosmetic and providing only minor stability.

I think this provides a new answer to the "Great Filter" question. Is it before us or after us? The answer is both.

High voltage transmission lines can carry power without a neutral wire because they use the earth as a neutral, but in your house you can be damn sure the neutral is carrying power. Cut off the neutral blade on your appliance if you want t

What's particularly interesting is that Scott specifically says that "the Washington Post has been a leader in investigative journalism exposing Trump’s malfeasance" but anyone who has been following Seth Abramson knows that

I think that perhaps the issue is that machine learning courses skip over the fact that there is a trivial closed form solution to 99.9% of all real-world machine learning problems.

You are simply making another zero (because you don't have enough to cover all rows and columns) without making any other cell negative. If you subtracted from uncovered columns and added to covered rows you would get the exact same r

Regarding the UNIBUS, this needs a picture of the wire-wrapped backplane of a PDP-8 (especially the denser later versions with the flip-chips.) The front looks neat and tidy, but opening the back is still a part of my nightmares.

Have you ever heard of the Birthday Paradox? 23 people in a class, the odds of two having the same birthday = 1-(364/365)^(23x22/2) = 50.5% Well, the odds of two out of nine photons hitting the same rod out 350 is 1-(349/35

Rods can respond to individual photons, that is pretty much accepted. The issue is what can we perceive. The first nerve synapse screens out about 50% of isolated photons (ones that are not correlated from other rods) which has been estim

This was the 1942 experiment cited in the OP: "The subjects were asked to respond "yes" or "no" to say whether or not they thought they had seen a flash. The light was gradually reduced in intensity until the subje

But you have to be able to have a control. I heard Barbara Sakitt speak around 1976-77. She was the author of the widely cited "Counting Every Quantum" (1972) and she basically said that her original methodology was flawed. Unf

There is a well known (I heard about it in the late 70's) problem with these types of experiments. The assumption is that if the subjects' "guesses" statistically match the assumed hit rate of photons then there must be

The 75% performance ratio represents system losses not module efficiency. So a system rated at 1kW(peak) which may be 5-6 square meters in size, and which is exposed to annual sunlight of 1200 kWh/m2 might only produce 900 kWh of usab

$1/watt is the current price for modules and installation, etc. can bring it up to $2-3, but for a large-scale installation of this size I would expect that you could get a discount on the panels and the total cost could be under $2 al

As one of the "experts" quoted I agree, but I'll take it as meaning "from someone who knows a little more than me about the subject."
