That's a cool graph. It's hard to see, but it looks like we can't say it is distinguishable from zero?

People should look into neuromorphic engineering, which has been around for a while, which is basically computations using analog VLSI circuits (aVLSI). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphic As a first approximation these are the anal

So, the usual caveats about writing code to match the languages strengths apply here. For example the fib function plays to a python weakness - function overhead. Rewriting the code to be a simple loop removes the inefficiency: import t

Do we have the stats for how many scientists/engineers run for office to begin with? The central qualification to successfully run for office - straight faced insincerity - might be counter to the training of most scientists/engineers. The

You may be imagining dead bone, like that in displayed skeletons. Bone, in our bodies, is alive. It has blood vessels, it regenerates and can have innervation. Such bone has conduction channels. But it is true. I don't know what the current

I'm really trying to get a grip on trans-cranial electric stimulation. The specificity of effects claimed from from such a general manipulation (enhanced learning, better mathematical skills) is a little unbelievable. Statements like "warns

My question would be if the recipients of the gifts were in the same pricing zone as the account owner. If they were in the same zone I can see no possible business reason why Valve would object to it, once they found that it wasn't fraud.

Though one could say "Another Nature vs Nurture"-er, this article is interesting to me from a "responsibility" point of view. Our children are our responsibility. As tempting as it is to put the child in front of a TV, or pop it a pill, or

The loss of particular functions like the ability to see color, or sense motion are interesting demonstrations of the localization of cortical function. In this case, it is possible that visual area MT (V5) is damaged. This area processes m

May I know where these folks teach, so I may never send my children there. I expect teachers to teach new concepts. I expect them to gradually train an untrained mind. This test merely indicates that teachers, by tossing out untrained minds

I have to say, it was remarkably hard for me to figure out WHAT this was. I couldn't easily find a simple introductory paragraph giving me the gist of what it was. Even after watching the video, I could not figure out what it is. So here is

Well, the way I see it, the reason for serious anonymity (as opposed to things like anonymity on forums like this one) is that you fear a powerful agent wants to silence the opinion/information you have to present. Like the poster above has

Yes, but for that you would be doing something like setting up a blog on a service, or leaving anonymous comments on blogs/websites. I would strongly support the "right" of people to leave anonymous comments on blogs. But does this provisio

The main point of the writer is that one can no longer hide ones identity when registering domain names. I actually think this is a GOOD idea. Here's why. Assuming currently you can register a domain name with false credentials, the governm

"Please don't feed the trolls" I've always liked that motto. I feel the (well intentioned) linked post is kind of doing that. It's true that we want to develop a "mature" culture at HN. It's true that there should be guidelines for that. It
