   That is true, but "proper" broadcasting should include some way to manipulate it like a rank conjunction.

   I have never understood why MATLAB hasn't introduced proper broadcasting like APL and its successors. My problem with Numpy is its awkward notation/syntax when compared to Matlab/APL.

   Thanks for your great reply! Would you also have suggestions for textbooks on mechanical engineering specifically with a connection to robotics?

   I would be very interested in learning resources for the mechanical side of robotics. Would anyone have suggestions?

   By looking at the user's guide, it seem that Stan has also other use cases than Bayesian inference. Examples are linear regression, mixture models and even ODEs. Does anybody here have experience with Stan and R and could comment on th

   I agree, but I wrote "good engines". If one can choose between convergence with 1/N over 1/sqrt(N), the choice shouldn't be difficult especially in real-time systems.

   I have never had a look at their website, so thanks for posting that. Buffet's recommendations for GEICO and Borsheim's [0] are funny and not something I would have expected from him... [0] https://www.berkshirehathaway

   Depends on the type of the simulation, but quite often, low discrepancy numbers (like Sobol sequences) are the better choice. Especially in finance, good engines don't or rarely use random numbers.

    Unfortunately, I can't find a reference at the moment, but there are two American mathematicians who perform card tricks in class and one of these tricks uses a de Bruijn sorted deck to allow to cut the deck many times and still be abl

    It looks like Hawking missed the Nobel prize by two years then. This is almost the same like with Fischer Black.

    This version is terrible. The start screen with the most visited sites doesn't show up anymore. It is slower on my phone and I don't even know anymore how to view my downloads from within the browser. It really makes me consider c

    It's behind a paywall, but according to a summary [0], Marsalek or someone from Wirecard built fake physical branches of banks on the Philippines. The auditors of EY were invited to come to these branches to talk to actors who convince

    Dirac himself told the reason of why he didn't talk much differently: Wigner: How much did you talk to your parents? Dirac: Very little. My father made the rule that I should only talk to him in French. He thought it would be good for

    It is amazing how slow the data item browser in Eikon is as compared to FLDS. Also, something as simple as HP is hidden in the chart view in Eikon...

    At least Luhmann was trained in German public administration after the Second World War. The general ideas or seeds for his invention of the Zettelkasten stem from there.

    That might not be an issue on the countryside (everything outside Vienna ;), but it is definitely very impolite to address another adult person with "du" instead of "Sie" if they have not offered you to call them with th

    Please also mention how risky your advice is. Refinitiv calculates currently e.g. an implied probability of default of ~14% for American Airlines and there are price targets of 1$ for them posted by some analysts. The gold price is close to

    I am not sure why I have been downvoted, but it is a fact that Feyerabend discussed that the Church was acting reasonable and rational in Galilei's case. This was well before this book, so I don't think the book's claim is en

    I remember reading Fravia's essay about evaluating sources [0] (e.g. books) about 20 years ago and it was pretty good advice for me as a teenager. In my experience, being very picky about the choice of books pays off. There is no need

    Because e.g. pc and sp are exactly the abbreviations used in assembler for some decades?
