Well, I was rooting for her because the story paints her as the hero; and because not being able to think of a falsifying experiment for your favourite theory is pretty damning. Honestly I don't understand the specifics of the theories

Well then read the paper! I'm in your same position. Also with "Would Bohr be born if Bohm were born before Born?". EDIT: I started reading it and it gets into reeeally good stuff: Simp – There are predictions from string the

No, you check the quality of the rendering. The rendering is already done by computers. The animators tell the computer what to render.

It's "true". The catch is that the analog computer's circuit size (which is analog to the digital computer's time) has to scale with n.

Truthy means that if(<truthy value>) evaluates to `true`, but that the value is not literally `true`.

Finally, an excuse to learn to use theorem provers and include them in my research as an auxiliary tool! Note that they claim performance similar to TensorFlow in CPU only. But a direct translation of this to Python TensorFlow code could ru

You're implying that from March 14, 2000, Windows was very secure. I think you're getting this backwards. If you say 2017, you and your children-comments' dates will be covered, because they are before March 14 2017.

I don't know about freenet, but definitely not tor. Tor uses a kinda-p2p net to mask the destination of your traffic, but doesn't reduce your bandwidth hosting bill.

Would it be possible and good to use desktop users' browsers as WebTorrent hosts for images? This would make the users pay for their browsing, allowing for the experience to be without ads.

To cacarr: Inkscape is not at its best in Mac. It's clunky because you have to use control instead of command, can't zoom with the trackpad, can't go fullscreen. I use it and love it and it's one of my favourite programs

By single precision, do you mean 32-bit floating-point computation? Probably not but, if so, isn't that what both computer gaming and deep learning need the most?

These don't use linked lists though, they use array-based resizable lists, which are faster with modern cache architectures. (that's only part of point 2 though.)

Unfortunately Firefox (Chrome too) use more CPU than Safari when browsing static pages or being unfocused. Which makes them a battery drain. Otherwise I'd use Firefox everywhere. EDIT: numbers on 2013 11-inch Macbook Air Firefox 3-10%
