I agree that this is of great value to HN, and especially to me.

Make no mistake - this is indeed quite deep. To be able to assimilate it well you will need at least knowledge of Analysis, Measure Theory, and good mathematical maturity. I was able to read only part 1: Foundations, and these are my impr

No. Take any circle that passes through the loweset point (under the 3" mark) and the right angle vertex that is down and left of the blue line. Keep anything else fixed. This way infinitely many such constructions were created, and the rad

Right! For example, people in Sicily have darker skin.

$300 for a average bike is not cheap. Even in USA, where in my opinion the bikes are very overpriced. Yet, if you want top of the line bike $300 is not enough.

Right. Argue against a Wikipedia article with another Wikipedia article...

I don't see why this is Machine Learning -derived. Or maybe ML stands for something else here... Edit: Thanks for clarifying. It is good to remember that there is other viewpoints :)

Is there a good test for being introvert or extrovert? I have always imagined that an extrovert just has a better ability and finds it easier to express his/her emotions. However, the Wikipedia definition sounds more like a description of e

MATLAB ? It is extremely useful for machine learning hacking.

To increase the reliablity of a system, improve the weak links in a system, not the strong. In a computer systems class we had a lecture about security and cryptographics. There were many case studies of fraud, and almost none of them were

Agreed. But not only women are repelled by the geeky atmosphere in the computer science. Many extrovert male people get bored and disgusted too. So it is not really even 50% of the people diversity who create the software. It feels more lik

At least the correct way to refer to Steve Jobs is "He", not "he".

I guess so. I interview for them in the Spring (when they only had 170 million users) and they had ~200 engineers out of ~800 employees.

yes, we cannot prove that we are in a Matrix either. And... everybody has the right to believe whatever he/she likes as long as the induced behavior is not harmful to others.

Corrolary 1: We can never prove that we are not in the Matrix.

For a Theory of Computation class I had as a part of the homework to write a program that writes itself in one programming language . It is amazing that such programs exists that can switch languages and can go through several methamorphos

All such attempts for summation are ill-defined. The Abel summation is actually not a property - it is a functional . That said you take the function f(n)=<n-th summand>. Then you can define AS(f), but it shares very few properties

I agree agree that probability and statistics are much more important in life than just calculus. That is why in college I am studying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - these are all math and probabilities. Yet, I think Arthur

Hm... anybody can think of a reason why the adding cross country connections seems correlated for various pairs of countries. For example the local max on Sep 19, or the local min at Aug 21 seem to hold for most pairs of countries.

Our question, at noted above, is what is the cheapest, fastest way to quickly cool the Earth. Yes, this approach will cool it! But what will happen next? The Earth is a very complex system and its behavior might be impossible to predict w

The author realized that not everybody is in the USA. This is the kind of attention that customers value (at least I do) and will make them return to use the service.

Maybe the title should be "How good are USB video adapters ?" When I saw the title I started thinking about NVIDIA or ATI video cards which is misleading.

Any statistical significance results? Without them I am not buying it.

You also could have air motions, electric fields and so on passing through the trajectories of the coins. Unless you account for everything on atomic level, you have all that uncertainty as random noise in you measured outcome. So indeed it

For comparison with your competition look at http://www.mathlinks.ro/ http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/ (both sites point to the same forum) They support LaTeX rendering and are already quite well known. I wish you success. It will be

The average inflation is even actually 2,33% per year. Take tenth root of 1,26 . But you are right, not bad.

Scrolling alone already had decreased a lot of tension in my arms. 10/GUI would probably have great effect on RSI reduction. It is amazing how intuitive touch can be. I just love the multi-touch on the touchpad that Ubuntu for example suppo

...chance of finding money on the street or so on... Sorry, I was not clear. I meant that the there will be money in the street. Not that they will find them. I will edit my post.

I am thinking of the words opters and non-opters to describe such people. Lucky/unlucky would mean they have better odds at games with random elements such as roulette, or better chance of walking over money on the street or so on. [Edi
