Thing is, you don't have to cut through the noise these days. Low energy/low bandwidth radio communication routinely sends messages below the noise floor. Depends on you application, but if you only send some bits of information (

Ah yes ... That's some orders of magnitude too much :-)

May I ask: how sensitive? Sensitive enough to, say, detect the movement of something moving at a known frequency on the other side of the planet? Are we on the edge of gravitation based communication channels?

I would assume that you'd use that data in conjunction with others (sensor fusion / kalman filter). Wenn you know you were at location X 10 minutes ago and now one sensor tells you you are at Y ... You can reasonably assume that t

Completely anecdotal, but the best magic "show" I "attended" was a close-up magician at a medieval fair. During his show the crowd grew dramatically and inched closer and closer to his little table. No fence no nothing,

Not an expert, but my intuition is that most of the sketch artists job is asking the right questions. I would assume that most people would have trouble describing close friends or even their partners from memory. Somewhat tangential: the &

Uh ... F-Zero style micro robotics would be awesome ... like slot cards without the slot.

There was a short demonstration on the state-of-the art of Robocup kinematics [1]. I guess the next micromouse tournaments will equally benefit from end-to-end training of the mice. [1] https://twitter.com/haarnoja/stat

Honestly it always depends on what "faster" means for you. For one crowd faster means "fast number crunching" (e.g. anything AI these days). There statically compiled code reigns supreme because it is mostly about how fa

I tried to get into more ergonomic layouts several times over my lifespan ... I got somewhat proficient in Dvorak and later in Neo2, still have them on "hot dial". While plain writing was fine with both layouts, what really made t

Honestly, I was with you on the weather aspect. I do go to work daily, rain or shine ... it sucks to drive in the rain and I was lucky to go full HO during a bad winter, but overall it's perfect workable (in central Germany). But then

The crazy thing is that the story is quite old now ... at least ten years? Edit: Oh ... It's from 2021? Feels like ten years to me : - (

Hmm ... might be GPT4 over GPT3.5? I have not tried the former for roleplaying yet.

We have this discussion basically every new semester, honestly it's tiring. On the one hand we _are_ removing more and more content from our courses, not because we want ease the load on the first year students, but because we have to

You might consider getting a velomobile. Slower than a car, but a lot faster than a regular bike. Eg I am currently considering a job that is about 50km away from here, one way times are: public transport 1h50m, car 50m, velomobile 1h to 1h

And, to finish your calculations, 30CP/900h are basically a full time job. In practice, students start to complain once a course tries to enforce their full "hour contingent".

Hindsight is 20/20 ... I bought my BTC at 0.20€ ... Sold most of it at 20€, the rest at 200€. I could have been rich ... but how should I have known.

Yep ... I just looked it up, I bought my first BTC in 2010/11 ... Back when they were just handing out 0.01 BTC to mess around.

Bitcoin was "old internet" tech at some point. Just for reference, I bought my first BTC at 0.20 €/BTC. Back then it looked like the future to a lot of us ... "hey! We/Hackers can make our own money. And it is super

It's been a while, but wasn't it two AlphaGo versions? One that was trained on existing games and "trained" with existing engines. One that was retrained from scratch without any external input? I might be wrong.

And, in theory, there is nothing stopping you from setting up a graph based system consisting of several small models and train that end-to-end.
