I knew this, which may be handy when developing (assigning variables is superior IMO though) But in final output like this? I don't like it.

Sure, but the [5] feels unnecessary in a finished document like this. I mean, the output should be right after the input anyway, right?

I have never understood why the "In[5]" and "Out[5]" in jupyter have to be so prominent, even in a output like this.

Also: > and on the very first day that I showed up as 17-year-old particle-physics-paper-writing undergraduate, I ran into him Almost every blog post mentions that he was a child prodigy. I liked this post though. Well written

Does it run precommits that have keyboard interactions? We use that a lot and Sublime Merge does not work.

I think that the author is mistaken or careless when making that particular statement.

It is not clear that they are close. I did the same thing with Japanese and Western movies, and the result was not due to the movies just being close. See https://strandmark.wordpress.com/2017/07/08/the-vector

It will still work on localhost, which is nice. It would be nice if it also worked on local IPs, like 192.168. . . Those do not work on Chrome, I think, which make mobile testing a bit more cumbersome.

It seems to me that the number of eyes problem should be solvable. Just convolve with an eye detector and threshold appropriately. Then feed everything to a single neuron in the next layer and threshold at 10.5. No? The spiral vs. circles I

At least pip had a release in May this year. It's even worse for pipenv. It was last released in November last year and there are a lot of bugs fixed on master, but there is never a new release.

Mathematics is not only brain teasers. I remember my first lecture in topology. Our professor said that while we may be smarter and beat our teachers in things like group theory and algebra, in this subject no one was going to be better tha

Still, I thought it was a good starting example for the post I responded to.

Simpler problem: how do you take a biased coin and convert it into a perfect source of random bits? You flip the coin twice. If it comes up differently, you pick the first one. Otherwise you repeat. That will produce 50/50 random bits,

You can have the camera record metadata as well, like focus settings and super speed. That will make it harder.

It means satisfiability problem. You can think of it as one "assembly language" of optimization, in the sense that many higher-order problem formulations can be "compiled" to SAT.

Yes, but training it is very expensive.

What's the alternative for something as complex as self-driving system?

Aha, thanks! Then my comment does not apply!

Thanks, from reading the abstract, is sounds as if they have an algorithm for the halting problem.

MtG is played by choosing 60 cards from 20k. Everything is finite. There must be some generalization in order to make it noncomputable. There are probably many games that can somehow encode a halting problem if the board size is made arbitr

Is this legal? It obviously is, but how? I thought the GPL would require Microsoft to ship the Windows source code? I suppose it counts as a separate component.

Great! Should I watch the blog for the announcement?

by petters 7y ago
This is great! The article mentions a preview; where is that? In the store?

I merged all my personal C++ projects into one monorepo and I really liked it. Especially useful with C++ since setting up the build system is so cumbersome.

Thanks. I was very brief because I was on my cell phone. Did not expect downvotes for that comment. :-)

Of course. That was not the error.

> The fourth and final term is an integral which is zero for x < 2 because there are no primes smaller than 2. This does not seem correct. Overall a good article though.

You are completely right. That should be fixed

Initializing the mersenne twister is really hard: https://github.com/PetterS/monolith/blob/master/minimum/core... Edit: There are two links in the code with more info.
