Yes, you can't trust the good biz monkeys. My experience as well. Sadly, the only really good biz person I know does not share the same values as me. Very intelligent and good at what they do, but they'd fuck you over in

Analytic philosophy has made my mind a razor. [...] Formal mathematical training (graduate) will do that to you too. I often find myself thinking with abstract algebra ideas (groups, vectors, vector spaces, commutation relations,

Now try to go back to MS Word and typeset equations. You will miss LaTeX.

It would seem the video is also hosted YouTube[1]. It has better quality. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udAL48P5NJU .

If you use PGP it doesn't matter where you host, right? If you're concerned about local officials having access to your data I don't think it's much worse than Google scanning my email to better target ads or "just

I'm not saying Java is bad or not. All I'm saying is that, from my perspective, why should I bother? It just seems very big and unwieldy and if I'm not going to do these JVM optimizations anyway, why bother? It's really

Yeah, I've actually heard about ND4J and was interested in learning about it. But as I said in my parent post, Java seems (from the outside) as this huge unwieldy language that is hard to get into. What could I do with Java/ND4J

For me, as an outsider, the JVM looks a bit like .NET: this huge, extremely complex codebase which does everything and anything, very optimized and comes with great tools. But to me that is a problem. Even though the JVM could do X or Y bet

Here are some useful shortcuts: power = n; (where n is whatever you need) sol.mass = 3e7; Cool game!

The only find for "Example" is http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/momdoc/intro.html#examples . Did one of you use this to generate PDFs? If so, how does it look? I'd like to see examples!

Woah there, how do you support your first claim? The Milky Way is about 100K light years in diameter.

If we assume that life is common enough* that it will evolve independently multiple times in the future, then the chance we are "the first" is closer to that of being "the last", unless you have a convincing prior I&#x27

"Probably" is one of favorite words in medicine, btw :). Right as it should. If somebody answers my question by "It depends", then I know I'm in good company!

Personal experience (I've met many pre- and current doctors during my studies) suggests that few doctors are scientists . They know a lot of things, but they're not what I'd call scientists in the same way a physicist or b

No. Step 1: Do no harm. In practice, this means staying up to date on the latest research (by law), but follow the guidelines. These are updated regularly, just not after each and every study that comes out. And it's a good thing a lot

And that state is a completely made up mathematical artifact. The wavefunction is not measurable, but its absolute value squared is. This does not mean it's not "real". I understand what you mean, but you need to pr

The Schrödinger equation alone predicts how a state evolves in time. Just not what the result of a measurement will be.

by mablap 10y ago
The theory is the equations. Take the Schrödinger equation. It is often misunderstood in discussions of time-symmetry and determinism. The Schrödinger equation describes the evolution of a wavefunction, deterministically, and symmetricall

I had never heard of that man before, but as soon as he started talking my bullshit radard beeped. He's talking to an audience of intelligent engineers like they've never heard of the blockchain. Come on give us some meat.

because it [the blockchain] has legal implications, you have to look at it from a legal perspective as well, because its a transaction validation mechanism without anybody in the middle. So when these transactions are

Well in absolute everything is ad hoc but think about it this way: You are pretty much guaranteed that, modulo some events, any US president from any party will honor their predecessors' decisions, pacts, treaties, etc. And you can b

And this is why I'll be pouring my money into a serious government backed digital currency. It's a shame Canada isn't going all in on this, they were pioneers with their digital money project last decade. I'm reassured b

The reality, every blockchain is vulnerable to such forking. The system is still decentralized, as the miners have to make their choice. However, the Ethereum Foundation decided to force the fork upon geth users, as the software default

“Invent a new version of the universe” is normally not permitted by the software protocol, which is why this involves a client update and a hard fork. To have "separate universes" is to have separate blockchains

Where I live, it's a buyer's market. We have plenty of choice. I can live with not making money on my investment, or even losing a bit, as long as it means losing less than I'd have lost renting. EDIT: Wow. I have just used t

I want more people to own homes. Yet my distates for homeowners and Home owning is passing the buck around. I don't really follow your argument.

So what do you suggest I do in my mid-20s: buy a house or stay a tenant for life? Why shouldn't I buy a house?
