I don't know about that. For many practical purposes probably not? I'm just on the thread following this idea: "The article seems to think that a word is untranslateable if there is no single word in the target language"
242.
by nyeah 11mo ago
It's stuffed with unusual and rare words, and no native speaker understands all of those. But I think most of those words are in use somewhere, for something.
243.
by nyeah 11mo ago
Yeah, I was hoping the article would say something about word vectors and linear algebra.

by nyeah 11mo ago
Brackets can be any shape, it's fine. Like (3)*[4] is still 12. But that matrix-vector product is undefined.
245.
by nyeah 11mo ago
But what does that illustrate?
246.
by nyeah 11mo ago
It kind of is a proof if we assume that single words can be translated at all. Translate a single word from Language X (more words) to language Y (fewer words) and back. I can't uniquely recover all the words in Language X that way.

It's an obvious conclusion to draw when folks seem to be unaware of the content of the article. But you're not supposed to say it.

In the article he says those things are not really relevant, because he's already been doing them at 100% for a long time.

Yeah, I think there's a market for suppressing AI slop.
250.
by nyeah 11mo ago
Yeah exactly. I understand you may feel that I bulldozed your house, but it was an honest mistake. I deployed an AI bulldozer. Some communities are very happy with the results. Others may need time to adjust. Look, I want to talk. First and

I agree 100% in spirit. Electrical transmission lines were not understood when Fourier did his work. Maxwell wasn't even born yet. And the math ultimately unleashed by Fourier transforms goes way beyond applications. In cold hard dates

"Are they malicious? Twirling neatly waxed mustaches as they cackle gleefully as the little ants scurry about in a panic?" Where are you getting this from, specifically? The claim I can see is that Mozilla didn't care enough

Yeah, the opening sentence is very easy to disprove. That's going to spark distrust among people who are "more mathy." Otherwise ... the plot is obviously engaging, based on the discussion here. For people who haven't se

2010: Silos have a function. Closely integrated teams have a function. Functions are good. Use them both wisely to reduce complexity so you can actually get the right work done. 2025: You can choose either silos or integrated teams. From no

I think that's a good answer for practical purposes. Theoretically, I can claim that N random vectors of zero-mean real numbers (say standard deviation of 1 per element) will "with probability 1" span an N-dimensional space.

"Otherwise, it's saying that early detection being beneficial isn't supported by survival rates alone." That claim may be obvious to everybody except me. Anyway it turns out to be true.
257.
by nyeah 1y ago
I think this is a technical article about a narrow aspect of public health policy, not advice to individual patients. One point in the article is that early detection would give you more years to live even if there were no treatment. Becaus

This is exactly why my family never hoarded tens of thousands of dollars worth of arcade tokens back in the 1980s. Creating a secondary cash market for tokens wouldn't have changed my parents' minds about that.

Clearly it did not prioritize human safety.

Unfairly high bar. They're not magicians.

Yet somebody (or some...thing) has the tranches that are made out of default. That may not be the smart money, or even the dumb money, or even the money that was overexposed to heavy metals when it was young [1]. [1] Apologies to Ned Beauma

I haven't, thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks! I am kind of stuck in Python, or at least stuck outside of Julia.

Thanks a lot!

I'm curious, are any quantum simulators accessible to sort of hobbyists? I have a background in solid state physics from coursework, but I've never really used QM for almost anything outside of school.

That's not implausible at all. For all I know it might be the most on-target comment here. But can you cite something specific? (I'm not asking for a psychological study. Maybe you can prove your point using Blake's "Jer

This is pleasant to read, but it's missing a logical step. We are great at dealing with the stuff we evolved to deal with. Sure. But anything outside that evolutionary process? Who knows? For example we don't do so good on top of

I'm talking about how equity works at the most basic level, in a vehicle worth 1000 USD. It's an ice cream stand, capisce? You may well be offended because we were rude to each other. That's fair. But you're not telling
