OpenCyc is only a fraction of the ontology, unfortunately. There's a lot of internal desire to update and expand OpenCyc, but my understanding is that at present the company hasn't secured funding that they're really allowed

It follows from the statement that if two circles intersect in more than two points, they're identical. Which seems like a familiar theorem, that I can't seem to place. So it's more like a corollary. It would be remarkable if

"Is it conceivable that different irrational numbers have different "frequencies", such that high-frequency numbers exhibit their expected averages very quickly, whereas low-frequency numbers may require billions of digits to

Does this version support the latest CUDA/CUDNN? I spent hours with the initial release trying to get GPU acceleration working before giving up in frustration (and being a seasoned Arch linux user, I'm not easily discouraged) - I

Hmm, here's my experience: What I've needed from D3 is the math-y bits: calculating layouts, paths, etc. What I don't need (or want) is for it to ever touch the DOM. But that's what it wants to do most. D3 is sort of th

There's also a really, really large amount of space for maneuvering up there. Keep in mind the surface area of the sphere that's at 36,000 km from the ground (approx. average satellite orbit height) is ~22,567,880,697 km - that&#

For various reasons, in quantum mechanics, one typically excludes the observer from the system being modeled. This is obviously problematic, especially if you're doing large scale cosmology. But that's the measurement problem fo

We use one of these in the lobby as a coffee table at my work.

"Independently" is also a loaded word - one could mean that there's no direct causal connection between the state of the system and the state of the measurement apparatus, or one could mean that those two states are (in ensem

I've been working on an algorithm to make more playable dungeons with included puzzles (e.g. locked door/key quests etc.). The math is there to ensure everything is solvable and relatively interesting (you're guaranteed to r

Absolutely, but at the same time, sacrificing client side rendering performance isn't the answer, and some of his suggestions about how he wishes React worked would involve doing just that. The author's complaint isn't that
135.
by catpolice 11y ago
Yeah the author seems to be thinking about the DOM from the server side, where the end point of all rendering calls is a string that gets sent to the client. This misses out on baaasically everything that sets React apart from all the temp

I'm optimistic about web components, but I don't think Polymer's ready yet - I was seeing their demo components not work in a new Chrome on Linux just a couple months ago (they still may not work, I'm too lazy to go thro
