I use Penrose diagrams all the time for my research and was hoping to see exactly this. I'm thinking of contacting the developers and participating in their survey...

It is not a completely general problem. In the field I work in (computational physics) we very often reproduce results published by other research groups. It's very common in our field to see plots in a new paper overlaid with data fro

Well, for just one example beyond self-driving cars there is now software that does document discovery extremely well, replacing a key job function of lower level lawyers and paralegals. Here is a study that finds a number around half of al

Is is possible that although neural nets can overfit as this paper shows, practitioners just stop training early before this happens? And/or they use a validation set? Would that be enough to explain the good generalization despite the

My impression is that, far from being proven correct, it's actually falling out of fashion. Some ideas originating in string theory, such as the AdS/CFT correspondence, are having a heyday though.

In addition to Dylan, Julia also allows multiple dispatch via generic functions. I have found this approach to multiple dispatch leads to code that's much easier to reason about and maintain. My use case is a tensor library where the t

This assumes Fox is as biased in one direction as, say, NPR is in the other. But you can tell the quality of reporting from the content itself and the way it is presented. For example, while cable news channels will go to the same non-exper

Why are we holding computers to such higher standards than we hold ourselves? I wouldn't know what to do in the trolley situation either but I can still get a driver's license. As long as the computer makes a decision where we can

In the context of physics, topological phases of matter often reveal themselves by causing certain quantities that are usually continuous to change in discrete steps instead. A key example is the electrical conductivity of certain quantum H

If you're asking about why there's an upper limit to the spin, this Quora thread had some good info (Simmons-Duffin is a top notch expert on field theory): https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there-no-spin-3-2-or-higher-

Disappointing how many Republicans hold this view and simultaneously claim to be the party of Christianity. How does refusing to support people worse off than you square with this: "from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold yo
