If only there was an entire field that exists to characterize when subsampling a population is valid and sound.

Not all of it, notably the algebraic extensions which are quite difficult to grasp.

Boy do I have to have a) Ph.D. b) academic email? You'd be discriminating against everyone with a DPhil and not doing research in a university ;) I'm neither so I guess I shouldn't bother.

Qualcomm is also fabless and switched from Samsung to tsmc. It's almost certainly due to Apple wanting flexibility in changing suppliers. Qualcomm was also not going to give them the rf crown jewels either

People confused with the branding don't realize that USB is by manufacturers for manufacturers, so anything that lets them claim on the box they support USB 420.69 while doing the least amount of work and spend is a-OK. This is what ha

The wrong actor is being targeted here: Amazon is just as culpable for encouraging bad behavior.

That's fair, and I commend the effort. That said, there's richer structures: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030439759... and for the typing theorists streams are a canonical exam

Interesting but there's a lot of literature in Haskell especially on streams and fusion thereof already, so I'm surprised that the references doesn't include a review of the existing state of the art.

It's more fundamental since you're working with the underlying vector space and linear operator vs representing it as a matrix over R^n, running a decomposition, then converting back. No need to change domains, but yes they are is

by nimish 8y ago
Of course -- representation theory guarantees this. It's just that matrices obfuscate the underlying algebra.

by nimish 8y ago
There's a more fundamental way to derive the exponential form: linear difference equations are analogous to linear differential equations, so we should look at them in terms of actions on some vector space of functions. Similarly, we s

But I can already do that with WiFi? I'm really not seeing the advantage unless somehow there's going to be a lot of 5G gear in unlicensed bands that's somehow mystically better than WiFi.
706.
by nimish 8y ago
Why? I have wifi. It's low enough latency. What better services would I have using 5g vs WiFi as a layer 2? Nothing about 5g is _unique_ to 5g except that it's controlled by telcos.

4G->5G is the equivalent to upgrading from gigabit to 10 gigabit ethernet yet everyone is treating it like some kind of insane technology. I have yet to see what exactly the hype is about.

Well I guess this beats the time that a McKinsey partner gave insider tips to his hedge fund buddy, but frankly not by much.

The amount of money and eyeballs testing out an http stack far exceed that of a proprietary protocol. The real question is why don't more rpc style protocols just use http?

Nope, and by toy I really mean toy. It can handle a single type of query and that's it. Maybe one day I'll polish it up.

by nimish 8y ago
Nothing. Linear types are being added to GHC and could be used to implement this feature. But libraries would need to be upgraded to offer them.

Awesome work. Really cool! I have a hobby project to write an analytics DB that uses ISPC for vectorized execution. Currently not much (sums are real easy) but I really wonder if it could reduce the effort to vectorize these sorts of things

Has anyone who promotes micropayments studied behavioral economics? If so I'd think they'd play a different tune. Pain of paying is a real effect. It's basic stuff around loss aversion that's real and documented in real

They got their $4billion handout from Scott Walker and are predictably walking back on it. Corruption from the so-called party of "fiscal responsibility"

Tell that to grid controlled devices. You just encode a signal onto the carrier wave when you want to turn things off and on.

He should do it without begging for public handouts. He's wealthy enough.

That's defeatist. Small changes are not the only things that matter but saying "everything or nothing" is not helpful. The collective change that's needed to effect change begins with individual steps, like not taking a

Filesystem performance is closer to windows than linux which can be a deal-killer. Probably not for games.
