Even more so: every time IQ and regression to the mean is explained, it is always in the “more-to-less direction”, whereas it works in both and both are relevant.

It is not structure per se (although in the case of the leopard there is structure). It is an illicit inference. Given a diffusion process (as blur) there are an infinite number of initial states which converge to a specific final state. Th

Any interpolation adds information to the data: the very interpolation method is alien to the image, and hence becomes “added” information.

Not so much with respect to Maths: either you integrate volumes or you do not, and the theory is essentially “dumb”. As long as you know what a derivative is, all integral and vector calculus is just a comination of “look at the problem wit

Classical books are usually much more engineering oriented than modern ones, with many more applications. The thing is that most applications are just ordinary things: tou are not going to go much deeper than angular momentum and/or th

It is not ISO then, it is the specific agency which makes them compulsory the one who should hand out the (allegedly much) money to ISO and make the documents available to those who must comply with the specific standard. But I agree that m

Imagine a politician receiving dozens of photos which trigger this CSAM algorithm because he has iCloud photos as defaul, and then somehow someone gets wind of the fact… BANG: one less. Try to explain to the public that it is only the first

Totally right in your assessment. But notice that, following your indication, monthly increase is a steady >0.2% and mostly >0.4% since May 2020, way above average. So, yes: high inflation has been going on for at least a year.

Following your lead: Thinking is not "answering questions". In order to build a mental model of a problem, you need a rather good model of the environment in your mind , and this comes from memory and the habit of thinking (whi

Life is an open-answer problem, not a sequence of questions, so the "answer" is neither unique nor necessarily easily expressible as a sequence of statements. Memory is useful because it is the very basis of reasoning . Rote lear
