I was surprised to not find this submitted here yet. It will have implications for those seeking government contracts in the future. As ITIL/CMMI/TOGAF all had to make drastic changes in the past few years and with 18F directly t

Not for discontinuous functions, as your paper explains, we know that g exists for discontinuous bounded, but nothing to find it with. > A practical construction of g in cases with discontinuous bounded and un- bounded functions is not y

When your product depends on OLAP is a good indicator, SQL has always been bad at Analysis. But by 'small' I was talking about code complexity and maintainability, not DB size. "Premature abstractions" is typically abou

The same mistake we as an industry are doomed to repeat. RDMS are like Leatherman, while they can do lots of things, the only thing they do well is being a set of needle nose pliers. Relational databases are great for lots of people doing l

Look at the SO entry on complexity zoo. existential quantifier: “there exists an x such that...” universal quantifier: “for every x such that..." NP is the truthyness of yes-instances co-NP is the truthyness of no-instances P=co-P but

If you approach it from Fagin’s Theorem, which provides that NP == the set of existential second order boolean queries, NP = SO∃. Even when the first order part is universal...you will see how the P=NP question will probably never be solved

Automation bias plus the LLM failure mode (compitant, confident, and inevitable wrong) will absolutely cost lives. I am a fan of ML, but simplicity bias and the fact that hallucinations are an intrinsic feature of LLMs is problematic. ML is

It is more than a wild guess, it is a guess based on the outdated perceptron model of the brain. Active dendrites the that can do operations like xor before anything reaches the soma, or use spike timing, once again before the soma are a co

From a photons perspective, emition and absorption are simultaneous. While from our perspective it is a form of causal connection, that is mearly due to the frame of reference. While we can infer the connection between each, it is possibly

I will try to respond when I have time, which may be this weekend. Remember to look at your comment history if you want an explanation. Or maybe others will answer it before I can.

I didn't upvote, but maybe this helps. We work in an industry that is people building systems-of-systems-of-systems, which seems to match the popular misconception of entropy. People are desperate for viewpoints and tools to help manag

Then it's just an implementation detail. ;)

Note, the common reason people fail to comprehend what Dykstra was explaining, is because people don't realize they are almost universally adopting one of the three major programming paradigms. While people are familiar with Functional

Same thoughts...but the authors definition of "scalability" seems to relate to making employees disposable and enabling cross team collaboration. Bu that definition Java is probably the best just due to it's presence in teach

It may be both. You could possibly just use network namespaces. While I am too familiar with it to suggest effort required, looking at the Openstack project and how they provision tenant networks may help. It is just python with a three tie

If you have a ground truth function, there is no reason to use an LLM outside of marketing.

Except it proves nothing about TC, it just refers to a paper that demonstrated RNNs were TC. The authors decision to name their creation a "Neural Turing Machine" doesn't make it computationally equivalent. The fact that it e

LLMs are pessimisticly constrained to being equivalent to TC0 or more specifically are uniform consent depth threshold circuits. Circuits and TMs are very different, but while LLMs can use threshold circuits, they do not have access to fini

Personally I find the model of a collection of immutable events that preserve assets= liabilities+ equity easier. Events being constrained to historical statements of fact.

They didn't have modern notation, specifically the integers as a convention hadn't been adopted by primarily Greek mathematicians like Diophantus. That is very different from understanding concepts like owing someone money, which

As posed, this problem is a toy one and fairly easy. 1) The arrival rate is constant, vs the more realistic Poisson distribution 2) The response fits in a single packet 3) Requests are consistent size. I don't think most companies are

When switches first arrived, most of them were unmanaged, or only had basic snmp counters, but they solved the collision problem. I remember my first Internet company, where after getting an ARN for free. Coordinated with uunet over IRC to

Ya I was suckered by a spam site. But the vendor isn't a reliable source either. The latest NTSB info I can find is: 9.1 crashes in driverless vehicles per million vehicle miles driven 4.2 crashes in conventional vehicles per million m

In large data centers, rack level UPSs are impractical for many reasons like cost and efficiency, but the big problem is that modern power densities are so high that you want rows to fail if cooling isn't available. It doesn't tak

While it feels dirty, I blame companies more than PCI. Just like the failures of traditional Enterprise Architecture, the Prescriptivist, universal top down method eats lots of resources without delivering much value to the company. While g

Oracle EBS required root X11 authentication be disabled to use the compositor for PDF generation even 10 years later so still pretty common. Oracle threatened to not support us when I used an unprivileged Xvfb instqance instead. Still stupi

We had 6 O200s Cray-linked into three nodes in an CXFS cluster to run an appletalk server backed by clarion arrays. While there were serious limits caused by the single metadata server, XVM and CXFS were better than anything provided by Ve

The reason this doesn't work the way the author wishes: > The idea of co-designing language and UI Is because commingling presentation, use cases, and biz logic is highly coupled. UNIX files have just open, close, read, write, and s
