Singularity has nothing to do with any distance, it is a divergence at some point. The singularity in a black hole at r = 0 is also much less than a Planck length from the center. And a point mass, I would assume, will also always lead to

Disclaimer, I am not a physicist. There are two kinds of singularities related to black holes. The first kind are coordinate singularities, for example at the event horizon in the Schwarzschild metric. Those are mathematical artifacts of th

Some mechanism to separate individual items, a conveyor belt, maybe two cameras and then train some neuronal network on classifying the images. Training data is easily generated by feeding in a couple of boxes with known identical content.

My point was not that it might not be important, just that you probably do not want to assign a new name to a data structure just because you use a different representation. If the implementation would have been in a different language, the

I would guess a G-tree is still a B-tree with additional parent pointers, the fact that it is stored in an array is a matter of representation but does not fundamentally change the structure. This still stores pointers, they are just in uni

Appointment series were the example that I gave earlier where you will have to use some more complex data structure than a simple date time value and corresponding logic to get it right. You can obviously not find the correct instants for a

I remember some discussion here quite some time ago where somebody brought this up and linked to a list of the strangest cases, I still remember something like United States vs. a few tons of fish.

Fair point. I should have been more precise, I was actually thinking of »hypothetical, never actually realized, potentially impossible to realize true platonic communists« and not of some Soviet era communists or something like that.

Communists at least seize stuff with good intentions.

Wait, what? In the US law enforcement can just take peoples' stuff and then the people have to prove that they are innocent in order to get their stuff back? Should this not be the other way around, law enforcement has to prove - withi

The answer “because it’s against the law” is a simple, good answer. While often true, at all times there have also been morally wrong laws, so it would not be unreasonable to counter that being written into law on itself means nothing. So

That's nonsense, every worldview must be grounded in some axioms, that does not make it a religion. I can break it down somewhat more for you. The state has no powers besides the ones granted by its citizens. I value my privacy highly

[...] and they have an immense positive impact on society. For this I need proof.

by danbruc 3y ago
That's just an axiom for me, no justification needed. My life is my life and it is not the business of the state to watch every step I do as long as I am not affecting others in any relevant way. You convince me that I or society as a

If you have reasonable evidence, wiretapping a suspect to gain more evidence is fine. On the other hand wiretapping everyone in hope of finding some initial evidence, that is not okay at all.

That position says that to achieve privacy, I must tolerate CSAM. I want both privacy and for us not to tolerate CSAM. Not true, you can have privacy and at the same time not tolerate child pornography, those are two perfectly compatible

Those are two different things, either you want local time at some location or in some time zone, just pick what you need or want. And going one step back, who really has to schedule things to a specific time so far into the future that unc

You want three pieces of information, a date, a location and a local time. Note that I do not think you actually want a time zone, what if you are not in London and that place gets moved into another timezone? All our common date time forma

This list would have been so much better with examples or a short explanation how or why the assumptions break in case it is not obvious. The author offers examples on demand [1] but while I would be interested to know them, it seems not im

So the limiting factor is the subcutane delivery, i.e. if the insulin could be delivered into the blood stream, then continuous glucose monitoring and controlled precise insulin doses could work as well as the pancreas?

I am aware that I know next to nothing about the topic and that I am ignorant of countless complications. With that said, your pancreas also does not know that you plan to work out, at least I would assume so. So what is the crucial differe

Does this actually help? I don't know much about microarchitectural details, so I may be completely wrong. Let's take a simple example, I have some nodes and want to load a field and then do some calculations with the value. I loa

I have no expertise in this area, but I think the presentation explains the issue quite well. The workloads they consider have a large number of indirection and poor memory locality, so a lot of memory operations have to wait for cache miss

That something is the wrong abstraction is something you can only know after the fact, at the time you build the abstraction it is - or at least it should be - a reasonable choice. And later on as the code evolves there are two possible out

Tensors are objects that combine in a certain way and act on vectors in a certain way, they roughly represent a collection of linear transformations. One way to represent a tensor is a matrix after fixing a basis.
