It's a joke on a sitcom. Not meant to be taken at face value.

And what about falling back to a verbal description of the chart for those of us on ELinks?

Never met anyone else who played this game. It's amazing . To sell it a little for the uninitiated: You inherit a distant, eccentric relative's old property in a sleepy, foggy seaside Maine town, and are thrust into a Lovecraftia

This is applicable only to a limited subset of a handful of fields. There's more kinds of research than -omics and organic synthesis/combichem.

In principle, yes. The relevant equations can't be solved exactly for any non-trivial molecules. But there are a large number of different approximation methods, which boil down to a numerical optimization problem that converges on a b

Peer review has always been on a volunteer basis.

It's the last digit of the sum of the chars in the error message converted to uints. I think, I don't really speak Rust.

They can also find a dozen peer-reviewed articles thoroughly skewering the misuse of statistics, intentional massaging and selective cherry-picking of results, weak significance testing, and general lack of replicability that are all incred

trans :: (b -> a) -> (c -> a -> c) -> c -> b -> c in Haskell is just trans f reduce c = reduce c . f isn't it? What am I missing here?

Neither of these are applicable to the situation he described, though.

O(N^2) is not exponential at all, it is polynomial. O(2^N) is exponential. And the grandparent was pointing out -- correctly -- that that description doesn't really apply here. (2^N)^2 = 2^(2N) = still just 'exponential'. Plo

Do you think people in Turing's time could have possibly envisioned the existence or proliferation of the role of "developer"? Not saying you're right or wrong, but our inability to envision future jobs, or lack thereof,

"Type-safe" as used in the FP community tends to be a much stronger claim than what's described in this post. At the very least, throwing a runtime exception is considered "going wrong" in the Haskell community, and

It is a science. A formal science. Same as math and logic, for example.

That's pretty much what "been more thorough" meant there, yes.

by gipp 12y ago
Fair enough. I just Ctrl-F'd 'bias' and had nothing, guess I could have been more thorough. That paragraph still fails to specify whether this applies only to homeowners and renters, or whether that still holds when looking j

That seems like pretty clear-cut survivor bias.

Most people don't want to. Rentals and often even homes for sale take on these colors because they're the most inoffensive. Everybody wants some kind of color and character to their home, but nobody will agree on exactly whic

Erm. If it's melting the rock around it, then the rock is your cold sink. By the time the temperature of the rock catches up with the probe, it's already molten anyway.

Wouldn't get anywhere near the dynamo, sadly.

I'm not sure that going back to the exact sort of city we had pre-modernity is quite viable or desirable -- but I do think (or rather, hope) that something more "human-scale" is in our future, even if it isn't exactly th

That is absolutely not the same. One is referring to half the wealth in the world, one is referring to the wealth owned by the poorest half of the world (which is strictly less than half by definition, and in this case far less than half).

It's clearly supposed to mean "more than we could conceivably need." It's not a scientific paper.

What’s a shorthand way to see this? Credit really only goes to founders when a startup exits for less than $250 million. Under a $1 billion, a handful of the early employees will be able to receive credit. And above $1 billion, the number

This was beautiful. Just moved from Chicago to Austin, and this article articulates everything I miss about Chicago better than I ever could. Spot-on. The conclusion w.r.t "smart" cities was curious, though. I'd see "sma

It's not like they aren't trying to improve the model as well, all the time. It's just saying that right now the benefit of getting more data for existing (already very sophisticated) models is greater than the incremental

The point, though, is that releasing the source code under the pretense that it is the running code can create a legal obligation that what's released is what's run. No, it doesn't prevent them from running something else,
