First of all- the definition is not mine. It is what is in the books. The terms "recognize" and "recognizable" is defined in the context of complexity theory. So are the terms "decide" and "decidable". "Accept" is not. So when you say you d

No it doesn't! Justify your claim. I just stated the definition of the P?=NP problem. You can find it in any good book on complexity theory. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Theory-Computation-Michae...

This comment shows you don't know the definition of the problem. The P?=NP problem is defined in such a way that it is either true or not. P- the set of languages that can be recognized by Deterministic Turing Machine in O(n^k) for some fix

Congratulations to BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos! Actually receiving the prize will stimulate more people to do ML research. I would be happy to see some other AI competitions similar to IOI, IMO or TopCoder with big publicity. Netflix are pion

Hm, you have to register, and then go looking for the small NewIdea button. I wish it was easier.

also, you can't see well the google result, you have to scroll. This seems biased.

I like the idea to reduce clicking, but eliminating it seems to create more confusion than easiness. On the other side, maybe it will be cool to have a mouse which doesn't need force to click- maybe that would reduce RSI (I am not specialis

ok then. This shifts the hard part of the problem from "how do I make this run in a lifetime", to "how do I reduce this problem to 3SAT efficiently". This seems to be related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_%3D_NP_problem#Consequences_o...

almost is very far from done. If you have REALLY done it then probably somebody else might do it as well in the (not so) near future. Also, what is the degree of the polynomial solution? If it is high then fast approximate solution might be

To say that mathematics only serves physics, seems wrong. Mathematics provides a basis and guarantees for every science. Physics, Biology, Computer Science... name it- I bet it uses tons of mathematics to justify its models. In my opinion t

I hope there is a way to program it to do different tasks- for example move the mouse on the screen or type text. Such tasks are not that hard some ML might be able to figure out which signals respond to which intentions per person.

Yes, I agree that the console is not the main thing that one gets Windows or Mac. My rule of thumb is: less command line use-> better. Ubuntu is pretty nice and I like their efforts to provide good human interface. On the other hand th

I do. On my work computer the OS is Ubuntu, and on my home computer it is windows 7. Personally, I like the Windows interface.

This is very nice feature. Yet, I tried it and it doesn't work for all pictures yet.

What these guys did is amazing because they did it for a semester with about 10-15 students. I was able to see that first hand because I was working in the same lounge until they took over it :) So the start-up cost shouldn't be very-very h

To me this looks like another google idea to outsource projects to smart volunteer people, who are not on Google's payrol. Maybe this is similar to the various Google initiatives: android application competition, Google Summer of Code, Goog

Hi, I am MIT student in CS and I took 6.001 (the new course is called 6.01). When I asked the instructor why we are using some language that has almost no practical use, they told me that the reasons are: - it teaches the concepts of the cl

very nice video. Surely, psychology factors play quite a part in the way market works. And also having several variables determined by such factors in chain you can expect to have big fluctuations - exactly the ones that the Gaussian("norm

As Mandelbrot stated : These techniques do not come closer to forecasting a price drop or rise on a specific day on the basis of past records. But they provide estimates of the probability of what the market might do and allow one to prepar

Well, the examples of Rockfeller, JP Morgan etc. only show the "tip of the iceberg". What, in my opinion, is underlying is a probability distribution of people wealth. In times of big changes there is more uncertainty, which increases the v
