But does it make sense to even talk about inside and outside then when talking about the universe?

Inside? Tell me what the outside is, then :)

Cython does the same thing for ".pyx" files and I have to say it is very handy and works well.

Thank you. But that's just Arduino, i.e. high level compatibility. You have a setup() and a loop() and the same way to do I/O, but not the same underlying instruction set. The chips on these guys are regular ARM cortex uCs. They m

Never heard of those. Do you have a link?

Is it? Do you have a reference to relevant international laws?

Add to this that maybe in former times you could change places and start anew. With privacy being dead, that's not possible anymore... Chilling effects on a huge scale. Things are getting weird.

That is an interesting possible connection indeed. For anyone where this news bit fell off the far end of the attention-span: http://dwarmstr.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-york-wants-to-ban-g...

I wonder what would happen if those vans would need to be clearly labelled as radiation-emitting devices. My impression is a lot of people are 'o.k.' with this because the vans are unmarked and the radiation invisible...

Again, and as others pointed out in other contexts here, it depends on the energy. Tritium has 20keV betas AFAIR. Some elements produce multi-MeV beta decay. That is not stopped by thin cardboard.

Get your calculation right: Assuming 100nSv per scan (first comment in this post). 10s per scan. ~4000 scans in 12h. -> 400uSv = 0.4mSv. Background where I live: 2mSv per year . So this is a fifth of the yearly background dose at my

Some decades of reengineering the gender relations didn't change this passive role at all - so why do you expect this to ever change?

Call me cynical, but I see the usual business of lawyers creating/making-up jobs for themselves here, nothing else. Just look at the idiotic E.U. cookie rule.

by onnoonno 11y ago
In a more cynical light, maybe build up some 'value' that can then be 'traded' in a US/EU TTIP deal? "Look, the EU is reasonable and wants to get rid of the cookie ruling and the high bar for startups on geogra

Julia looks very interesting but honestly, exactly the 1-based indexing makes it feel really awkward and turns me off every time I think about using it somewhere. Wouldn't it be possible to create array classes in Julia that all indexe

The concrete in the walls surrounding you contains Uranium. That alpha-decays from time to time. The system consisting of a single, former Uranium atom that just alpha-decayed, together with its alpha fragment, has a temperature in the ten

If you're not interested in the tails, there's also always (random()+random()+random()+random()-2.0)*sqrt(3.) as a cheap (in terms of brain power) Gaussian (sigma=1, mean=0) rough approximation :-)

Another data point from Germany: I remember being taught (sometime during the 1990s) about atrocities committed by the Japanese during WW2 in history lessons in school. (Obviously, there was a lot more about the atrocities by the Germans)

I am rather thinking about an on/off 'object detected 'for objects with any rotation angle. That symmetry surely must be exploitable somehow in shared parameters of the DNN or similar? My gut feeling is that the first convolu

I was thinking more about a machine vision context with e.g. different parts coming in at any rotation angle. I know that some translation invariance comes from e.g. the usual conv+maxpool layer structure, but there must still be several re

One thing I wonder about is whether it is possible to somehow reflect symmetry in the input data in the structure of the neural network? For example, the usual way to have a DNN learn rotation/scaling/translation is to do data aug
