Succes requires quickly testing if something works at all. Those tests don't need accessibility to be accurate, so they don't have accessibility. What is important is that, when you found that something works and you start profiti

It was aimed at people's energy supply during winter. that very much was meant to instill fear. Not fear for one's life, but fear for everyone's wallet and heating.

French used to have a sort of base 20 numbering system. And it is more like our current number system arose because it makes arithmetic so much simpler.

This (and most other examples here) could just as easily be explained by nationalism. specifically nationalist projects to claim a much older heritage for the current nation state, to legitimize the current nation, and to give it a glorious

Also, Cleopatra considered herself Greek (or rather hellinistic) and had the lineage to prove that. She is remembered fondly because she was decently respectful of her Egyptian subjects, but that was mostly in contrast to her predecessors.

In the Manhattan distance for example if you rotate your coordinate grid, distances will change.

by rocqua 3y ago
Euclidean distance is only 'mathematically correct' if you care about rotations in your space being distance preserving. I don't think that is really the case in these spaces. There is a whole branch of mathematics called ded

How does that change if you account for waste disposal in the costs? From what I gather the nuclear waste of fusion has a much shorter half-life. That should make storage and disposal much easier.

My experience with cipher is that the query optimizer doesn't know enough about the graph to pick up on trivial optimizations. This can't be fixed without a way to tell the optimizer about those properties, and even just dreiging

Land increases in real value (beyond inflation) aswell. This is due to people building roads nearby, schools nearby, nicer houses nearby, etc. It's effectively the old adage 'location location location'. Currently another big

A situation where you could offload pricefixing to the algorithm is bad. Any algorithms that can't do the price fixing for you are fine.

Employees will often internalize past actions they took, whether forced to by their bosses or not, as good actions. they will even build up a worldview to support those actions. For the alternative is to accept that you were bad, or even ev

I doubt 1st year analysts have much salary complaints.

by rocqua 3y ago
Is it recommending salaries? The issue with the rent thing is that the algorithm sets a price, so collusion could easily be offloaded onto the algorithm. Something similar should also happen with salaries before this becomes a real problem

It won't. Zoning is stupid and harmful in the US. But real-estate will always be rising in value. There is no way to make more land. And land you do nothing to gains value from others around you improving their own land. A land value t

I hope it would work, but fear evictions and police intervention would be brutal enough to quash the will to fight.

We have found galaxies with differing amounts of dark matter (as measurer by rotational speed) and have confirmed these measurements with gravitational lensing being more or less effective.

Chaos theory knows two branches. discrete time and continuous time. They are surprisingly different branches. differential equations are clearly in the continuous camp, and the basis of most if not all continuous chaos theory.

There is quadratic circuits used in Zero Knowledge Proofs, and there is shamir secret sharing, which uses arbitrary degree polynomials. In general though, cryptography will use polynomials over finite fields. That is very different from the

Maybe a 99th percentile of latency could measure these brownouts? Or some other way of quantifying how fat the tail of the latency distribution is.

Blender is unique in having a big set of users who are actually good at aesthetics professionally. A subset of that group wanted to contribute, and the technically minded were actually willing to let them. Most other open source projects ha

It's where developers are learning. Most of my learning was done on a (Linux) command line. Making things usable on the command line makes sense to people like me.

Unlike the low background radiation steel, high quality content will still continue to be created. Arguably even at a faster rate with these powerful tools. The proportion will drop ofcourse but that only means curation will become king. Wi

Hill-climbing requires some measure to optimize. current technology uses 'how well can you predict real text' as this measure. If you change the text you try to predict, it changes the measure you are optimizing. It is far from ob

Cryptography is great for amplifying control from controlling access to a single secret to the ability to read information, create 'valid' information, and even to combine new information. What kind tends to limit cryptography fro

You are spot-on (I think) with the point that identify and reputation will become much more important. I hope this will end up with system that help cultivate and verify reputation. I fear however that the identity leg is much easier to tac
