I wouldn’t say it’s confusing—it’s wrong and suggests at the least sloppiness in terminology

It could, but it isn’t in this case.

That’s not different from pre-Internet era, though. Subscriptions were never anonymous.

No, they are very crude (but useful!) models of reality. General relativity and quantum electrodynamics are much better corresponding models, respectively, and even those are just approximations.

By this metric, nothing has been ever solved in natural sciences. So this is not a useful metric.

Blogs are probably not a good example. There are so many useful services people are used to have for free on the internet, which will need to be paid without ads. Most of those could be subscription-based though. As for blogs—IMO articles t

Since when is constructive criticism expressed in words like “awful”?

Yes, conservation of mass is to conservation of energy what Newtonian mechanics is to general relativity. The former work pretty well in everyday life

You can be a capitalist and still say true statements about anarchism, both supportive and unsupportive. Or vice versa.

But Apple is more than a payment processor here, they are closer to a regular online store in this regard

I should have mentioned that I of course use Git. But the need to manually keep track of the calculation~commit pairing is tiresome and error-prone.

In all my papers the results were produced on multiple days (spanning months), with multiple versions of the code, and they are computationally too expensive to reproduce with the final version of the code. I'm trying to keep track of

Especially since there is no such thing as water memory.

Sound moves 4-times faster in water than in air, I assume even faster in ground surface, so let’s just assume it arrives instantly via ground. This would mean a delay like in lightning/thunder, which is what one can see in the video (2

But the heat capacity of the air inside is negligible compared to that of the solid stuff inside. So it shouldn’t matter if you do it just a few times in two weeks.

Have a Phd in physics, agree fully. I love talking to people about the physics and chemistry in every-day life, and you need very little of quantum mechanics or advanced electromagnetism. Perhaps statistical physics (thermodynamics) is the

Turning off a server on its own isn’t removing web history. Even google cannot be forced to host websites for free indefinitely.

The response of the immune system to the virus and its mode of operation (deadliness) may be entirely unrelated. The T cells may react to some parts of the virus protein, other parts may be related to its effect in the body once infected.

Interesting. Is this really not confusing? I haven't seen it done elsewhere. I find it confusing just because of that. Their reasoning for why they do it seems actually reasonable. EDIT: Actually the fact that their rule is followed by

I fully agree and try to do that in my research, but it's very hard to do 100%. I just wrapped up a 1.5-year computational research project, and we have all the raw and processed data, the main code, the processing scripts, the noteboo

I'm an author of one of the arXiv papers above. One thing to consider is that the approximative power of a given parametric function is not the only criterium. Being able to optimize that function efficiently is as important. Neural ne

IMO not a revolution, but I can see a solid evolution. My reading of the work on embedding ML into physical models so far is that the best strategy is to take it as far as possible with the standard physics approach of abstraction and reduc

I wonder if 10 years ago one would believe that we’d have a model capable of generating an article that fools many given a complex prompt, yet is essentially incapable of any reasoning.

It is, though. It doesn’t speed up function execution, but it literally speeds up the function call.

Very much agreed. I’ve once tried to count calories for about a month out of curiosity. Having Fitbit and tracking all my (amateur) cycling with a powermeter, I could record calorie output consistently. But if you want to eat out regularly,

Agreed. To put it simply, if you model a complex system with another complex system, of which you have a similar level of understanding, then even if the model is very faithful, you gain very little. Unless the model is transferable, so you

What matters on curvy descents is how much speed you can bring out of the turn. And that mostly depends on how efficient lines you can pick.
