   Right. But in practice here I have to expect, from the rest the author wrote, that what he meant was one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, machine learning, convolutional neural networks, natural language processing, computer

   Short reaction: No! In a little more detail, the author is talking about cases of "an amazing system" but, really, has in mind a quite narrow view of such systems and how they work and can be, and have been, built. Really, the a

   Gee, for a fast memory move of blocks of data that contained some whole virtual memory pages the fast way was just to have an API to the OS that tweaked the virtual memory page-segment tables! I'm not sure that simple idea has ever b

    Yes, sadly in a sense the judge is correct -- connecting to the Internet can result in virus infections. About two weeks ago, I detected that my computer had gotten a bad virus. Maybe I got rid of it. But last night my computer ran for 9

    Thanks, I'll keep that. "glivenko cantelli on steroids", good. Sounds like they actually did something. Yes, I'm torqued by the new learning labels on old bottles of pure/applied math, but that is not in my way.

    I watch the movie again once each few months. The movie has only a fission bomb. I have to suspect that building a successful, small fusion bomb would need quite a lot of computer simulation and also testing. The testing can't be hi

    Suppose some little country wants to start working with U and Pu. So, they set up a building, get it some utilities, surround it with some security, and then go shopping for a long list of lab supplies and equipment. Then, likely, presto,

    But the Hiroshima bomb was the gun barrel thing, and the gun was heavy and so was the bomb. For a small bomb, would have to test it, and tough to do such tests without being detected. Tough to be doing much with fissionable materials withou

    The article was concerned that NATO expanded its membership too much, that is, added too many countries too close to Russia. Presumably the concern here is that Russia will, then, feel more threatened by an attack from NATO. Uh, gee, guys,

    The judge's ancestry is Mexican. And, more important, the judge is active in some pro-Mexican political causes that conflict with some of Trump's campaign positions. So, again, just for you, Trump claims that some of the judge&#x
