Wow, ok. I think I'll take that as a compliment, at least my input looks good at surface level! :) I'm not super knowledgeable about modal jazz but when I think 'mode', I think 'modal jazz', so I thought that w

If you are talking about a set of seven notes, that is not a scale. C and Am have the same notes, but a different tonic, but they are different scales, so a scale is defined by the notes it contains and the mapping of scale degrees to those

As per a response to the top comment, it can also be written <picture of a little leprechaun>, assuming you get the good letter carrier. https://www.her.ie/amp/lol/unbelievable-this-letter-made-it-...

Unfortunately tiktok TOS is violated by saying things like "cigarette", "dead", "vagina", or "gun".

I agree with you, but I was misled by the formatting of your comment. I thought you were saying 2×n -> 1.5×n, but now I see you mean n^2 -> n^1.5.

Ha! That explains a lot, I hadn't even considered it. Yes, a change like that would be massive, and I've just been fighting a guy I made up.

Yes, but... we already have that. If quantum computing only provides a linear speedup, that can already be done with a conventional ASIC. I don't think it's a high bar for quantum computing to provide something that is not already

What I mean is that I would consider quantum computing a failure if it took us "from n2 to n1.5". That would make it the same as SIMD or parallel computing. I still think that linear-time factoring or sorting could be revolutionar

It's nice if you can do it in software, but this necessarily requires hardware. Any algorithm can be sped up by a constant factor with specialized hardware: for example, addition is 2n if you need to perform an addition with an optiona

Are you talking about the inequality on the first page? That is at the end of a sentence that starts "The calculation is made from the two inequalities ...". The next sentence is "By isolating π in both cases, we can derive a

Are the same patterns punched into the cards as 100 years ago? This record is about software.

by rdlw 4y ago
Yes, since every computer has finite memory. If you bubble sort a list of bytes, say your algorithm runs in 10000+n^2 clock cycles. You have at most an exabyte of storage, so your code will run in at most 10^37 clock cycles! :p As storage t

Placing the burden of reducing strain on a medical system as bad as the USA's is ridiculous. There are reasons to want to avoid obesity but how is one of them to accommodate the medical system? The reasoning is completely backwards. It
