Over-parameterization for regularization is really old. The pseudoinverse min-norm solution for under-determined linear systems even has that flavor.

They're more complex in biological construction and in signaling mechanism, but no proof that they are more complex in function.

Why would you expect that, when a tiny insect can do pretty intelligent things? What "unexpected" things humans can do are probably all in the >75 IQ range.

Pretty sure that's why injunctions exist, if there is grievous harm while things are litigated. Keeping your account alive vs. not sounds totally one-sided in terms of harm to each party.

Agreed, software-driven hardware devices should perform the same original functionality as when they were purchased forever, unless it's a hardware failure, or unless there is an explicit expiration on the purchase agreement.

That's doublespeak. They want phone numbers on the merits of phone numbers being how people's private identities have been registered with their contacts. And no, that's not a great alternative, it's a huge negative.

I read it wrong, as in latitudes are north-to-south gradations. Wasn't thinking of level lines.

Why is that any more difficult than calculating color reflection/absorption on a surface? Both presumably involve multiplication in spectrum space.

But unless you're doing a computation without I/O (i.e. no reading back the results, no providing inputs), you need coupling into the rest of the universe, and typically into a low-entropy part of the universe like the Earth, wher

I'm assuming you're referring to the CAN-SPAM Act [1] or equivalent in other jurisdiction [2], but nothing of the sort is implied. The requirement is to make available and process opt-out without charge and promptly (typically in

Exactly. "Poisoning" the spam filter is nothing more than sending an alert back to upstream to deal with it when and where it starts to hurt business. Typically it's the only feedback mechanism taken seriously and thus a serv

Forget a permissions model. How about an informed notification model, where the OS marks the application with a badge notification whenever it requests a paste? And you can see a history of what it requested? Generally I find it odd that th

Is it? In engineering problems you have to consider practical feasibility. Would it turn out that for the expenditure of energy to get things isolated we may as well spend it on classical computation?

Each time something comes up like this, I call for jammers. If someone wishes to exploit the shared physics of the environment, I'll have no qualms to do the same.
