Do you know what the objective limits are with current mirrors? They just say that nanometer objectives are not possible with current mirrors, but no measure of SOTA

Good. But it's only a few days with a million ISP from fusion.. let's raise the bar ;)

NASA/JPL predicted a major global warming anomaly arriving this past year due to the Tonga eruption of Jan 2022. They gave a forcing estimate of +0.15 Wm−2, equivalent to half a decade of global human CO2 forcing, arriving mainly at 18

Am I missing it? 3x faster than an Xbox 10 from 2020 sounds "just" like Moore's law growth Cool! Thanks Apple! I guess this is to be expected given your market position and billions in the bank? Thanks so much for doing it.

Well, they can immediately charge a fee (personal experience) and also it may be applicable for other matters in-flight.. let's say you're applying for a visa but have overstayed the current one. If they don't check until re

Nice to hear the octave relation used! "blue above visible blue" is a good name.. hmm, a little web tool to name these would be neat ;)

Howdy sir! Great memory and fun times :) Dataset was something from CAIDA, like this: https://www.caida.org/catalog/datasets/ipv4_prefix_probing_d... IIRC we used the LGL algorithm ( https://lgl.sourcef

Hmm, how about watermarking the photo with some function of the OTP? (like bit steganography; invisible to normal human use) Seems to preserve easy checking by device manufacturer, but not immediately clear to me how to replace the sensor

Ah no problem. Just a sketch.. Looking at C2PA, I'd now use "claim" to describe those tags. They're short and human readable but not self-contained. They'd have to be authenticated with tool signing to be very us

Thanks for the ref! Checking it out

I agree with the general idea of tagging content to help classify. I'd given this some thought via MIME and ended up with a kind of BioNFT.. so named bc it uses NFTs piecewise, but tracking the creation events and agents types (bio, ai

The [Study] has a better framing in its title "JWST Observations Reject Unrecognized Crowding of Cepheid Photometry as an Explanation for the Hubble Tension at 8σ Confidence". It rejects the hypothesis that there was a systematic

Is there an inverse to this, more on the publisher side? I find myself wanting to cross-post more as social changes, and would like to be more systematic with my OSS projects and company work as well. Seems like campaign mgmt SaaS, but I

"To avoid data collection from Soofa signs, they would either need to turn off their phone’s wifi detection and Bluetooth or avoid the signs as a whole." These should be defaults. Android has options to WiFi scanning off. Does OS

20 years staring at it and no, i don't. i usually have to work it out from context. i think if you have vi or ed sensory organs it might work better for ya. which.. i still chuckle that vi is the visual editor, bc ed lol

If you do an accounting of all the organ functions, and then ask if the cell has this function independently, nothing is left out... but only if you allow that intelligence arises from the cells. So I believe intelligence arises from the ce

I wonder if an energy and work metric could be derived for gradient descent. This might be useful for a more rigorous approach to hyperparameter development, and maybe for characterizing the data being learned. We say that some datasets ar

Actually, they say, first page "Increasing CO2 has driven global greening: over the last 40 years, half of the world’s vegetated area has undergone greening, of which 70% is attributed to elevated CO2 (Zhu et al. 2016)"

Yeah, think you're right.. was reading the intro to the paper wrong. Just saw the acko visualization and was reminded your point https://acko.net/blog/how-to-fold-a-julia-fractal/ Cheers!

1) agreed. it's exciting seeing the same basic architecture broadly applied 2) not sure what you mean by "operate in discrete space" I'd emphasize the potential similarity to biological recurrence. Deep ANNs don't

Per some offline discussion, I'll note that while this paper is about the structure of hyperparams, it also starts with the analogy between Mandelbrot & Julia sets, Julia as the hyperparam space for Mandelbrot, the param space We

One of Wofram's comments is that there appears to be much more internal structure in language semantics that we had expected, contra-Chomsky. We also know the brain, cortex esp, is highly recurrent, so it should be primed for creating

How much does a chip fab cost? Internet says $10-20B [cost] The last paragraph says they "would need about a dozen new fabs to be built and in full volume production by 2030" max out 12*20 = $240B, but they say total cost $500B.
