Self-driving in ports is a vastly simpler problem though because the environment can be closed and controlled and devoid of any UX concerns, making it basically a simple robotics problem.

Not really impressed with your undamaged brain's potential.

Why is everything "real" about writing code, when one of the standards is making users happy? Users presumably are not simply enthralled by your GitHub repos and might like to have interpersonal interaction about what the software

arXiv is for researchers in different science and mathematics subcommunities to post pre-prints, surveys, reviews, lecture notes, manuscripts, documentation, etc... but also historical/archival research, philosophy papers, and meta-ess

I'm an engineer and I find some of his stuff useful, particularly when it comes to thinking through how to think about how to use large p, small n data. But I also don't have a strong reactionary anger to Deleuze's penchant f

To be fair, I did intentionally write them in a style to mimic propositional logical statements (which are tautologies) but you are correct that they're not in a formal system so they can't actually be tautologies.

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
Of course they're tautologies in a logic sense, and I deliberately wrote them that way (whether they are pejorative tautologies is not really a material point.) They're statements about the methods for empirical thinking, the st

The Stove essay (in truth it's a prolonged rant) supposedly extols the virtues of empirical thinking, and you invoked it to back up the sense you had that the description of Deleuze's philosophy is vacuous... And yet... Difference

The model is the instance because the instance is what is being used at inference time. The training simply produces some set of weights. Open source would mean someone could see and run the model code locally/independently to create a

What is human-level intelligence is a normative and philosophical question, which means it will not be resolved in some objective manner. There's no requirements for us to know, there's only requirements for us to propose in the f

If you write "I saw an analysis recently..." it's best to link to or at least describe the source of the analysis, otherwise the rest of us are just left with completely unsourced hearsay

Sure, same with heat index. They are tools for communicating the impact of additional axes (wind speed for cold and humidity for heat) on subjective perception. I won't wander out without a scarf, or neck covering, if it's freezin

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
Yeah, it's not like Fahrenheit or any temperature scale is literally calibrated to human perception (they're all now defined as transformations from kelvin anyways), that's just a (minor) ancillary impact that can be discusse

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
This is not true, and it's why we developed separate scales for wind chill (which factors in wind) and heat index (which factors humidity). Looking at the wind chill chart[0] for frostbite times, there is nothing particularly special a

Yeah, I'm not saying all the genres operate the same with BPMs. Compared to most house and techno events I go to, I do feel that psytrance events are a bit more "unrelenting" in bpm where I wish there was more variety.

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
Because it's how DJs connect tracks together. That's the target audience for purchasing psytrance, and most electronic dance music, tracks.

Acyclic structure on variables is a very strong pre-supposition that, honestly, is not how many systems in engineering are well-described by, so I don't like this idea of boiling causality solely down to DAG-dependent phrases like &quo

Yeah, it's a civil case, not criminal. Only criminal trials should have standards as high as criminal trials do because only criminal trials punish you by taking away your personal autonomy and freedom. Civil trials cost you money, so

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
The standard for civil cases is literally "a preponderance of the evidence"...

Yeah, my wife is Ethiopian and she was shocked to see in TV news coverage how "Ethiopian" a lot of the Houthi rebels in Yemen looked, but this is actually not surprising once you know the histories of the Horn of Africa and Red Se

Yeah I definitely have experienced more delays with them than with Ryanair. I rarely experience any meaningful delays in arrival time with Ryanair, so I'd say they are the best deal to service ratio.

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
Another thing I like with the discount airlines like Ryanair and Wizzair is that, because they are dirt cheap and point-to-point, I end up visiting places on a whim. For example, a couple months ago I noticed I could take an affordable week

by bangkoksbest 3y ago
There are times when booking through Ryanair over their app gives €X price, but through some 3rd party like Kiwi I might find e.g. €(X*0.5). However, even though I almost always fly with just a small bag, I still might hesitate taking the 3

I mean, theoretical physics models are still physics models. Functional analysis is still a valid mathematical tool for physics modeling even if it doesn't (usually) produce finitely calculable solutions. Physicists assign physical int

There are physical models are not computable (in the sense of producing number values in a finite algorithm), particularly in quantum physics, e.g. the wave function.

I suppose I should have thought of that—I'm wearing Japanese raw denim jeans right now—but I forgot all about fashion, so good point bringing that up. I don't know if there's much "you have to be in Tokyo" for, give

I'm assuming there is a fuller post behind the paywall because the one that I see seems extremely short. I'm also going to assume the author is referring to the mythical Paris of the early 20th century for its artist/creative

Those first two points are pretty wild assertions that are offered without much compelling evidence. The final two points are more plausible, although the last one is sort of tautological since any risk is by definition something we aren&#x

Pretty strange that I would think of myself under a new identity if I moved to a new place with a different social perspective. Seems like that is a deceptive abuse of what the word "identity" entails, and, while sociological term
