A rule I have learned from improvisational comedy: everything you do in front of a crowd is right. Don't apologize, just smile and continue, because everything you do is right.

"Well, perhaps, but it's border-line kitsch." Bah. I'm not making aesthetic judgments --- I don't care if it's good or not. I do care that he is willing to deny an entire medium the ability to change the way I think, feel, and sense the w

What bothers me is not that he claims that what he has done is art --- it is. What frightens me is that he claims photography is not art. Photos are not 'mere reproductions of reality' any more than his painting is. Paint, print, screen, cl

Does anyone else find these terminally unattractive? They're super-ellipsoids with the occasional meaningless chunk cut out. What happened to my sixties future, where the supercomputers were shiny slick hospital white or the nineties when d

Following the Tao does not preclude change. Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn't

As others have pointed out, the questions are somewhat confusingly vague, but what bothered me the most was that it's rather dull if it finds no inconsistencies in your answers --- it's like a baldly philosophical opinion poll.

Horizontal; thank God I'm an artist --- I can fill the studio with incomplete work and no one bats an eye.

Yes, as has been pointed out, he is missing a pair of commas (or more correctly, a patch to ensure that v is evaluated once and only once --- right now it is evaluated 0 times, and adding 2 commas would make it eval twice. Using the definit

Nope; nor do I. But I think the article asks you to choose the most exciting, scary, and stimulating things available to you. I need to eat; I can go grab a burger, or I can walk up to that red-headed girl and find out where she's eating.

I would love to learn more; was a transcript made?

I worked as a magician for a number of years; I was constantly being asked to "do that one trick you do" --- followed by a description of some phantasm I had no clue how to create. Their memory made me a miracle worker. (I always politely d

I would reccomend looking at 'Proto Value Functions' ( http://www.machinelearning.org/.../070_ProtoValue_Mahadevan.... )[1]; they use eigenvectors of adjaceny matrices for reinforcement learning --- but because gridworld has a simple adja

Hey humbling and phace2phace family I recently learned about you in a post on hacker news today and since then I have done diligent research to determine if in fact you are able to do what you say.Needless to say that I found nothing about

Neat. I like it. It surprized me that the result for the same name was different on succesive attempts. But why in god's name did I have to increase my window size?

It's good stuff, but it never gets around to talking about higher dimensional space; it feels unfinished.

My prolog is certainly rough, but am I correct in thinking that this doesn't do closures? Or is there some aspect of the state-passing that I am missing?

I wonder what relation the code/create transition has to the transition from mental translation from your native language to thinking in your new language.

It is important to understand that the many-worlds interpretation makes no claims about where those worlds exist. The video proposes a heirarchical order to the universes --- a metaphysical filing cabinet. It labels them; it does not ai

Aww, man. I am disappointed. It completely ignores the important distinction between a temporal dimension and a spatial one; you might claim this little lie acceptable for pedagogical purposes, but to claim any isomorphism between this and

It would not be comfortably chosen, therefore it should not be presented as an option? Knowledge is knowledge. I am pro it. Also, the funding came from at least one grant (OERA) that pushes for youth interaction and outreach from active res

I first encountered eigenmagic in machine learning --- we were interested in the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of a graph. When the space that the matrix lives in is so abstract, 'real world' examples don't make it any easier to visu

What follows is not physical truth, but emotional truth --- alas, that is what counts when you want to market a product like this. I find your concept alarming. On paper or digitally, my signature is a symbol whose only referent is me. N

Nah, they're pretty dull; the coverboards are usually a clean piece of pizza-box or a bit of used matteboard. I'll take a pick this afternoon, if you like.

Is it Cryptonomicon that taks about keeping a spreadsheet that actively calculates your FU number based on the current cost of living? If I can live comfortably on the interest, I'll take it. No need to pry me out of my office chair.

Printmaking. It's meticulous, and I am not --- it stretches me, and makes me feel like I'm working . I love holding all the technical details in mind (how much ink, how much acid, how much light, this is toxic, that is flammable) while sti

I'd say even more F5s (assuming that's how you compile/run). There's nothing wrong with using the computer to catch a missing semicolon or parenthesis. If it takes you 20 minutes to find the error, maybe it's because you haven't been runnin
