OP specifically mentions the sensor, so I'd speculate they use an interface to download data which is different from the control mechanism.

I just tried searching HN for occurrences of "is orthogonal", and it does seem that most uses would be better served with "unrelated". In some cases, however, orthogonal sounds more appropriate, and the reason are the ge

In 2015, approximately 11000 people got sick in Dejvice, Prague 6, after wastewater contaminated the fresh water supply[1]. I was out of town, but when I returned in 2016/2017, the incident was still fresh in people's memories and

When people say 'I never said that,' the reason why they're saying it is usually more important than the statement's veracity.

I presume you are referring to UUIDv4/1, which has 122 random bits. It is a common misconception that this is insecure. In reality, the UUIDv4/1 is just a way to encode 122 random bits, which is more than enough for most needs. Th

What are the advantages of sortable UUIDs with embedded timestamps over random 128 bits and a created_at column?

If you ever carried a canister of gasoline, you'd notice it to be uncannily light. It may have been a practical experience question.

Maybe try explaining to him that school and other institutions tend to optimize for the average person, so unless his goal is being average, he'll need to take responsibility.

From what I understand about these models, having studied and applied machine learning but not deep learning, they all build abstractions (embeddings) akin to eigenfaces[1][2] where many samples of a feature are turned into an abstract feat

If a person who's never seen a goat looks at a million copyrighted images of goats and draws a goat, are they committing copyright infringement? What if an algorithm does the same? The result is 'a recomposition of learned fragmen

You are making a straw man argument by assuming that GP claims they can infer individual-level attributes from telemetry while all they claim is to infer population-level attributes.

One can have social anxiety and a rock-solid self-image as a scientist at the same time. The latter requires no social or synchronous communication skills.

Brilliant article. Explains why I find myself frustrated with people who take my well-intentioned feedback and try to retaliate against it as if it were some kind of a game.

The generation growing up today is the first that can broadly learn mathematics from mathematicians rather than from teachers, and we should encourage them to do so. When I was 12-16, I was interested in physics enough that I would study it

You are probably misreading it as referring to a standard medical expense while it probably refers to some advanced treatment that is only available in private healthcare, anywhere in the world.

Thank you for pointing that out, I was indeed wrong to assume it was used to classify hardware rather than a model.

How so? The page you link offers three definitions[1], and all of them require an infinite tape. You could argue that a stack is missing in my simplified model of the human brain, which would be correct. I used the simple model in allusion

The human brain isn't Turing-complete as that would require infinite memory. I'm not saying that GPT-3 is even close, but it is in the same category. I tried playing chess against it. According to chess.com, move 10 was its first

Imagine for a second a model of the human brain that consists of three parts. 1) a vector of trillion inputs, 2) a black box, and 3) a vector of trillion outputs. At this level of abstraction, the human brain "pattern matches and repli
