To me the most exciting part is that this may lead to a faster fast matrix multiplication algorithm which will be huge. The current bound is O(n^~2.372). They could very feasibly hit the theoretical limit of O(n^2+e).

32GB and at most 64GB. Ok if you use it as advertised. But in this thread's context if you were to install Crouton/Ubuntu on it, that's small.

It doesn't have to incentivize new technologies. It could just as easily incentivize new business models. Imagine a laundromat that sells "FREE DRYING" during the day. Heck, I bet you a lot more people will do laundry during

That's logistically impossible to happen. This would require ULA to have the capacity to produce all the launches for the entire market (both domestic and international) which they do not and will not. This sort of monopoly driving out

I agree. This is what happened to swimming with the super-suits. It became a matter of who can buy the best technology and a bunch of records came crashing down until they banned all the high-tech suits. Ian Thorpe's 400m freestyle rec

I just tried it out. It's pretty cool but for some reason there was no audio. Its going to be interesting to see how to guys handle the hodgepodge of video and audio codecs out there.

Its more coincidental that the warriors got all the pieces in place. Curry was injured the year he had to sign the current contract which is way undervalued. This is the key that allowed them to have signings like Iggy. Curry is easily wort

Give credit where credit is due. This is DeepMind's research, and Google acquired them in 2014. Of course, Google gave them a lot of resources to train AlphaGo. But let's not bury the subsidiary, or I guess they would both be subs

Yes there is a similar procedure for marrow transplants. It is called 'Haploidentical Transplant' where you only need a half match for marrow transplants which opens the door to parents and children as donors. The procedure requir

The procedure is called 'Desensitization' where they filter out the existing antibodies in the patient's blood, and then infused external antibodies for protection while the body regenerates new ones. Then the strange part is

I've never felt playing against what is suppose to be an entire room of machines (wether Deep Blue or Watson) to be fair. What would be fair is to limit the total mass of the computer to say 200kg and leave it at that. What is effectiv

Yes they can partner with Baidu but at the end of the day, its all about whether the CCP have Uber on a leash. If the CCP can force Walmart to capitulate and accept unions then I'm sure Uber will capitulate as well and change their cor

Good luck with that with 1/3 of Senate going for re-election. Summer is the best time to campaign but if they choose to stay in D.C., that's up to them.

I'd heard about this a few years back but there's been no progress since about any clinical trials. Since the articles mentions SynCardia as the only artificial heart company approved by the FDA, I'm guessing the BiVACOR is s

I've always wondered how sensible is it to dig temporary holes/ditches that will store excess amounts of water and then later fill it back up once we're done with it. This is similar to how an empty swimming pool may be used

Yes, the demand may peak at t=0 and since the price may only fall, there will still be a secondary market. However, their revenue will be much smaller. The minimum price for each ticket will be higher do to the falling mechanism. The discre
