What is the reasoning behind calling the class a tensor? Is there some way to think of the represented expression or its derivative as a tensor? Or just because scalars are tensors and this could be extended to support other tensor types?

The correct answer is, we don't know. We can see back until about 380,000 years when the universe became transparent enough for light to reach us, the cosmic microwave background. Everything before that is theoretical and depends on th

Well, it's the same in XML, more or less. [1] The difference is that XML cleanly separates types and data, all the type information is in the schema and there is no type information in the data, so without a schema you can not properly

Whatever equation you have, bring everything to the left side, define a new variable Ω as whatever you have on the left side. Behold the ultimate theory of the universe. Ω = 0

If we have to change people anyway, why not change them to not associate those terms with slavery in a technical context - which I think most people already do anyway - instead of making them use different words? Same result and we do not h

Master and slave are just words, sequences of letters, the meaning is in peoples heads and may be context dependent. Never in my life have I thought of slavery when I had to deal with those words in a technical context. I mean, I get the in

The argument was made that the US/UK "installed" the Khomeini regime [...] Fair point, I missed installing or did not read it carefully enough, this was at best an unintended consequences. But even without intention, ther

Was it not as follows? Mossadegh wanted the control over Iranian oil back, therefore the US and UK got rid of him which allowed Pahlavī to become dictator and he was supported by them to gain influence, oil, and defense against the Soviet U

If the company even existed when a Windows update caused an issue. And given the number of Windows installations, even the most obscure software or setup is likely to affect a lot of people.

Yes, there are non-constructive proofs for the existence of polynomial time algorithms [1]. The Robertson–Seymour theorem [2] is a common example, it shows that certain classes of graphs can be characterized by finite sets of forbidden subg

For reference, 100 GW are 3.3 % of the average world electricity production in 2020 of 3062 GW, but this is supposedly only required for a few minutes.

And data teams are sitting on an enormous supply of potential answers! We have spent the last decade re-building our data stacks around infinitely-scalable cloud warehouses and their attending ETL tools. It’s a (wait for it) massive coal m

They heated the plasma with a power of 2.7 MW for 480 s which in total deposited 2.7 MW × 480 s = 1296 MJ, i.e. 1.3 GJ, of energy into the plasma heating it up. That is the energy of 310 kg of TNT (4.184 MJ/kg) or burning 38 l of gasol

None. The picture does NOT show the plasma itself, but the temperature distribution at the water-cooled divertor baffles. It's about the temperature of parts of the vessel that get heated by leakage from the contained plasma.

That would depend on the specifics of the AI, even without training on driving, it could still have some knowledge from seeing others drive or being able to identify the symbols on the controls or playing racing games. No training or prior

Value is what people are willing to pay but that is not what should primarily determine prices, they should be primarily determined by the costs of production. That is what competition is for, driving the profits to zero and the prices towa

We forgot why companies - or for that matter the entire economy - exist, not to make profits and enrich the shareholders but to provide people with goods and services they need and want in an efficient way. Profits are not the goal, they ar

How did I imply that there are many real money prediction markets, that was exactly my question, did I miss the ones where everyone is or are prediction markets just not that popular and that is why even the big ones do not have a large num

I was wondering this, why do all the samples not completely float. If the sample is only partially superconducting, could you just smash it into smaller pieces and find a few floating ones? Or would the different domains be so small that yo

Can one know how many people are in that market? When prediction markets where mentioned early during the LK-99 story, I looked a bit around out of interest, which platforms exist, which topics they cover, how many people participate in tha

In which way would this be different? Seems to me more like a technicality, whether it should be called ownership even if it does not come with all the rights we usually associate with ownership. When I said returned upon death, you could o

With birth everyone should receive a piece of land the size of global land area divided by global population and upon death you return it. And this is of course extremely simplified, we probably still want some public land, and the populati

Okay, I guess now the pieces are falling into place, the same conclusion just occurred to me in a different part of the thread, HTTP is the REST API and not an API build on top of HTTP. I will read some things again with that in mind, but c

Then I will have to read the thesis once more. Sigh. I am pretty sure it talks about APIs, that is interfaces consumable by software. What a browser does, formatting and rendering a response, is not what I would call consuming an API. Well,

Let's take a weather database. I point my browser to some URL, you send back some HTML that the browser shows to me. In order to get a nice, uniform architecture you have followed all the REST principles and I can click around in the d

In that case your REST API is just a new name for web application and your API responses are just web pages.
