This is really not good safety culture. I'm sure it's not the same experience when a pilot practices emergency procedures in a simulator vs in a real emergency, but it's still helpful. Your point is maybe that the simulation

But what previous thing is most analogous to batteries on cars? Cellphones and hoverboards are so much tinier. Maybe this isn't the same issue specifically, and some scale of government can require a tax to fund e.g. more education or

For the record, I wasn't trying to correct the author as much as I wanted to share an observation that I find interesting about this example.

Can you think of a representation where they would be isomorphic?
335.
by gugagore 6y ago
But they're not identical up to isomorphism. That's the point of my comment. You cannot round-trip (r = Inf, theta = .123) to a cartesian representation and back.

I think it's more interesting not to take for granted that this grouping (often called "tracking" in K-12) makes obvious sense. http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/108013/chapters/What-.

What about on the other end? Why not have each hex digit be a directory along a path? Then you have very, very few files per directory at the cost of deeper hierarchy. What's the practical downside?

Thanks. And so in 1NF, would you ever have a column of type boolean?

It's no big secret that different social groups exhibit language variation, and that while there's nothing inherently lesser about certain dialects, they are nonetheless coded as e.g low or high status. You might feel a lot more c

You could require the caller to keep an opaque handle, and have all the state encapsulated on that handle. The caller won't know if this state is messy or not, and I think this does a good job of encapsulating annoying complexity. But

Interval arithmetic certainly has its place. However, you don't find it used more often because a naive implementation results in intervals that are often uselessly huge. Consider x in [-1, 1], and y in [-1, 1]. x*y is also in [-1,1],

I think you mean to say "fully connected" in place of "feed-forward" when trying to draw a distinction with respect to "convolutional".

I think your question is important, and I wish you had received a reply. I think it's common for people's needs to be in conflict; everything is a trade-off, as you acknowledged. But I think you baked into your question a false di

Yeah. That's unfortunate. The discussion on totality makes clear that it subsumes reflexivity when a = b. The diagram, which indicates implication, is also not consistent with the logical statement, which indicates iff.

I want to clarify that your first sentence likely means something like "O notation is insensitive to hardware in the way you're suggesting." Not "you can't apply O notation GPUs"
