neato uses distance embedding methods. The paper linked describes Sugiyama-style rank embeddings as implemented in dot. 1) They're incomparable. 2) the theory behind neato was published in 2004 ( http://www.graphviz.org/

That's because the program is looking up every item. It's _right there in the text_: > Note that this time is measuring the time taken to look up every element in the collection, rather than just looking up a single element. h

If you have a hard time remembering exactly how Markov inequality goes (like I do), there's a great mnemonic from which you can construct the general version: - if the average person is 6' tall, than at most 10% of the people are

The first person to make a connection between categories and programming was arguably Moggi, in 1991. That's 20 years after SHRDLU.

Presumably, moving to an infrastructure like this (everything is incremental) is the biggest difference between Old compilers and New compilers, because of the ubiquitous IDE. I think I remember watching a talk by Anders Hejlsberg about thi

(more spoilers) You do make an interesting point which I didn't emphasize: Aurora also makes a moral argument against generation ships. But I think things get more complicated still. If you accept the book's argument, accept cry

The unfortunate part about Aurora is that it is "optimistic" only in the context of all of the Red Mars trilogy, and 2312, and really only in the last chapter, where... SPOILERS below the characters go "well, eff it, I gues

The best introduction to optimization methods book I've ever read is "Optimization by Vector Space Methods" by Luenberger. This is the book that opened my eyes to the generality of least-squares methods, the actual geometry o

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. These asymmetric crypto keys, with which it takes a long time to encode/decode, are used only at handshake to securely negotiate a per-session key that's used in symmetric crypto, for which

You are right, of course, but from the perspective of an engineer, these two (admittedly broad) laws are very good things to have around . "Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful" and all that.

Hey, so gamma is not a logarithmic response. You claim that the delta you use in Figure 2 is a ratio, but your code, https://github.com/johnnovak/johnnovak.site/blob/master/blog... uses a fixed power. Th

(Minor nitpick. Presburger arithmetic can represent integers and is decidable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presburger_arithmetic You were probably looking for Peano arithmetic.)

Yes. The bigger your sample size, the bigger your ability to see small effects. A test with 1000 elements can only tell apart big effects; a test with 250000 can tell apart much smaller ones. This is the idea of https://en.wikipe

Huh, thank you. I missed it back then, and assumed that when the submission went through it meant that the dupe detector okayed it.

Yes, that is certainly a tension here. I think it's easier to think of the paper as two broadly different subparts. The first part is: "regardless of what you think, if something you do rearranges power, then it will become poli
