Mostly just significant in terms of distance. If it's deeper, it's farther away and you'll feel it less.

Or it's a tech-literate journalist who knows that usually it's the latter and they have vague plans to transition to the former later.

Yeah maybe the shareware, but I'm not sure what the license is on that either. It's free to play, sure, but is it free to use the assets for whatever you feel like and redistribute on your website? At a guess: no.

Doom is still under copyright protection last I knew. The source is GPL, but have the assets ever been liberally licensed? I think they're more abandonware. I'm sure you could still do it, but personally I try to respect copyright

Some of the books are _definitely_ different than others. In whole, the universe can be seen as somewhat troubling as well, but the vast majority is quite optimisitic. The majority of the universe that is, bad things still do happen in the

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, the Culture series, and Vorkosigan Saga Sci Fi does tend to be bleak, these are the ones I can think of.

Is your point that this action is some sort of direct democratic process and thus problematic? I'm having trouble finding any other reading of what you're saying. But it isn't, this is a bill working its way through the state

In what way is this not the democratic process? It's a law under consideration in a state. Is Connecticut not a democracy?

Can't you just look up the IP in rDNS? You definitely can, I just tried, but it's not 100% clear to me if you can keep a name out of there if you try. I don't think you can, I mean DNS is public.

This is the birthday paradox. The rough approximation is you need sqrt(n) values to get to a 50% chance of having a duplicate. Sqrt of a million is a thousand, and if they're every 30 seconds, that's ~8 hours or so. So you probabl

Domain names aren't secret, that doesn't sound very reassuring.

Every season in The Wire is a mix of new and old groups of characters (except the first of course). Is s2 really notably extra focused on s1 characters? If it is I didn't notice, though I can't say I've counted either.

Names are not generally considered secret. It will be relatively easy for someone to social engineer the name for a room either with the desk or with you (calling the room).

Yeah, I don't see any inherent reason why you couldn't use wind/water/geothermal/solar energy and then electricity to get as far up the tech tree as you like. Or just some other form of chemical energy. Some of the

The nuance here is that the best _proven_ lower bound is n^2. ~Everybody suspects that the real lower bound is higher, but nobody seems to know how to prove it.

Originally MCTS did have randomness, yes. I think the article mentions it, but this came in in the form of playouts at the end, used just to evaluate positions. This has been replaced in current similar projects by NN evaluations, which are

I checked several dictionaries and none had that usage. It's at _best_ very awkwardly worded. It's probably just a mistake.

No. Random just means you can't predict what value will be chosen, but doesn't tell you how likely different values are. If I roll a 12-sided die, that's random. If I roll two 6-sided dice and add the result, that's also

It's pretty hard not to have _some_ capacity to have puddles or pockets of some sort. If nothing else, you can have infiltrates and cavities in rocks or ice, or pools/puddles/lakes on top of frozen areas.

The last person who figured out we were doing incomplete math is the single most famous scientist in the history of the world. Being the next one isn't more exciting than getting some particle named after yourself?
