Feature idea 1: perhaps you could make references section in the bottom render links, at least for references that provide and arXiv identifier. Feature idea 2: better/shorter URL structure, the current URL https://www.seman

Very nice! I like how the HTML rendering is responsive and allows you to read on narrow screens. MathJax seems to handle most things, but not 100%: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Quantum-Broadcast-Chan... What a

"Pay the authors" is a really good strategy to incentivize the production of quality content. Get rid of the publishers and just have a short supply chain: author --print_on_demand--> readers. With a price tag in the 20-50 rang

This is very interesting. Are there any tools provided for "DB diffs"? e.g. show exactly which rows are different between two snapshots? It seems like dot* would have to know about the application logic to show useful diffs, but m

One generic solution is to have identity on the server (users table) and generate one or more tokens for each user. When a user wants to make an authenticated API call, they have to add the approprite header to their request: curl -X

I've used this several times and worked great. The conversation was super HD. I think it even has phone-in support (at least for a few minutes...)

What do you need on the docker host machine to run this? Any specific docker version? GPU? Also, it would be useful to see the Dockerfile or script that generated this img.

Very well done. I think the production pipeline is fully automated, including the cover. This is a very nice use of the CC BY licensed Stack Overflow content.

Swiffy was offered as an API and is no longer available, so can't try. I tried reading the Shumway docs + follow the build instructions but got nowhere. I think it was meant to be used as a plugin for firefox (to emulate Flash runtime)

Does anyone know of tools I can use to convert simple .swf animations to html + .js? I did a thorough research and found Swiffy (discontinued by google) and Shumway (discontinued by mozilla). All the other tools seem to require original sou

I was reading about this a long time ago, and remember the de-programming research experiments were initially proposed to be done in US, but was rejected based on ethical grounds. So they just took the project up north.

Very good writeup that shows all the steps. Note it uses MD5 hash instead of SHA256 so not exactly bitcoin. I wonder how much more work would be to make the code fully implement bitcoin. Will it still be readable? Or Etherium? Would be grea

That's true, but I think very few bother to change the speed so I'm making the sped-up version as the default. Perhaps 1.5x is too much (as in the example above), but I think 1.33x speedup would not be noticeable. People just thin

by ivan_ah 9y ago
You're right, I guess for 1.33x you'd need the first line to be ffmpeg -i "$1" -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=0.75*PTS[v];[0:a]atempo=1.333333333333[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" "tmp-

The four states |00⟩, |01⟩, |10⟩, |11⟩ form a basis so any two-qubit state can be written as a linear combination of these vectors: ∣ψ⟩ = a|00⟩ +b|01⟩ +c|10⟩ + d|11⟩. If a certain coefficients in the linear combination are zero, e.g., b a
