Later on it's revealed. The whole thing is indeed pointlessly daft: > In summary, Parrondo's paradox is an example of how dependence can wreak havoc with probabilistic computations made under a naive assumption of independence.

It's probably easier to coordinate a denial of service attack against operations that aren't splintered, into thousands of pieces, and each piece catapulting through space at thousands of km/h. A webserver, by comparison is

Can some things, eg writing, actually ever be "verified"? Because if it is impossible, sites like this further what we already have. A mix of AI and human, and the inability to - definitively - discern.

This is a good example of a problem that's easy to talk about but difficult to fix: "tell CPU to sleep!" versus this whole lengthy article. Wondering now if the issues with Linux laptop sleep are related or have similarity

This really should be mentioned on the page. My first impression was: "well, however cool this is, I will never use it because I can't just type it in any terminal without creating some stupid bespoke environment for it". EDI

Your consumption of steak had one good angle - this example you've made of yourself. Step one is self-awareness. Beyond that it's up to each of us to know what we feel comfortable with in response to that. But admitting it's

Sorry, this is the other on my list, but while it had the most oddities of all in terms of aftermath, looking deeper it was not commercial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandraydaan-2 I can't find it, but at the

Great - this is some decent information. Thank you! So, I've formed my opinions on both of these based on initial reports which all said similar things - contact was lost with the lander during the descent. If that's reliably revi

by detrites 3y ago
They didn't lose contact on impact, but minutes prior. The hardest part is the landing, not necessarily specifically the communicating with the lander on the way down - which in some sense is trivial depending how it's done. Indee

It is indeed odd to me, that the only and all three missions distinct by funding all failed in exactly the same way, at exactly the same point, where those funded from a different source only did 1 in 25 times in that way. Perhaps the rando

Thank you, a great angle and explanation I will remember. So I guess the fractionality is used by quantum mechanics as a simple convenience that allows probabilities to stay close to related attributes.

Good wikipedia list, thanks. So, moon landings where the craft suddenly and unexpectedly lost comms in the seconds or minutes immediately prior to contact with the surface: Government: 1 of 25 (4%) Commercial: 3 of 3 (100%) I'

How many landings succeeded? Then do percent successes vs failures, broken down as government and commercial. Then ask why's only commercial landing the tricky part? It's not like these people are stupid, nor like they haven'

600hrs: 1hr/week for 12 years! Amazing thank you. Very classy engraved cover for the boards. And love the Pong game, it's a cool effect the way the "ball" cascades through the segments.

Thanks for the explanation. In engineering circles (to use an apt word) complex numbers only assist in performing rotation, eg, calculating things such as angle changes or phase changes etc. It sounds to me that it's the same in quant

Maybe my understanding is too limited, but when I had them explained as "rotational" numbers they seemed to reduce to a simple logic shortcut to get signs changing correctly around our arbitrary axes-based coordinate system. No le

I don't agree with many things he's said, however, having his his own opinions or expressing them, or running his companies how he believes will make them a success doesn't strike me as bad behaviour. Certainly, he's exc

Some people actually can't, or are simply better off without. And many don't realise they're in that group. One part of the reason is the unavoidable fact that "milk" is not a singular, definable substance. It varie

While you may be correct, I'd caution it could be dangerous to attempt re-identifying any portrait of The Chuck. For me, it's safety first... whoever it was , it's now Chuck Norris.
