I wouldn't worry about it. In your career, you're going to forget a ton of stuff (if you're not repeating the same project over and over again). That's just how it works. The win is that someday you will end up needing

Nice pictures. Stay hydrated.

On the plus side, this is a really nice and concise story: Hit's all the major questions (that can be asked in a short space) with no anecdotes about people showering. Anyone know of any good longer form articles exploring the topic?

It's a plug for the book the essay is from. It barely introduces the subject. The book might be interesting and explore all of this stuff in depth, but excerpting a section like this is poor form. It's on a website so it shouldn

The first mechanism I could think of would be via inflammatory response. Here's an article from 2009 in the Lancet which performs a meta-analysis. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.490... In

I wouldn't guess an insect, but it does seem to track too well to the heading change of the aircraft. There seems to be no independent movement other than an orientation change. Is the pilot in the video talking to a wingman or his we

It depends on what you're cooking. All that a cookbook really implies is a template recipe to apply when you are faced with a certain situation. But yeah...It's definitely not a beginner ML cookbook.

While I don't completely disagree with the premise, I'm not sure that having the most supercomputers in the TOP500 is evidence of it. The PRC is striving to become a global competitor in as many fields as it can, as quickly as pos

I first heard it in an AI class as well. When I relate the story I usually give it as an anecdote of apocryphal origin. But I do love the story, because it brings into focus several issues: what do you actually want your classifier to lea

Selective recall? Those guys predict a lot of earthquakes. You really have to look at it statistically in terms of all hits and misses of their predictions. I can predict there will be an earthquake in the pacific ring of the fire in the ne

Depending on how you define productivity, holding a job causes a huge loss in productivity.

Makefiles are easy for small to medium sized projects with few configurations. After that it seems like people throw up their hands and use autotools to deal with all the recursive make file business. Most attempts to improve build tools c

If you have no other risk factors or symptoms, it's usually not advised to do random testing like that (basically because Bayes' Theorem).

Right, the new physics the wikipedia article is alluding to is that in previous experiments indirectly measuring two photon interaction cross-sections, the cross-section was higher than what the standard model would predict (but those exper

Neat-o. A little bit more info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics . Basically two photons with enough energy to interact via virtual pairs created. It will be interesting to see the cross-section rat

There are people with XX, XY, XXX, XYY, XXYY, etc chromosomes. Also there are various hormonal insensitivities, so a person won't display the typical sexual characteristics associated with their chromosomes.

Thanks for the nice reply. I do confess though my comment was a bit rhetorical as I'm a programmer myself. The list of things you point out consists of mostly external factors. I know where they come from and that they seem essenti

I have a regular old masters in CS from GT. It's probably worth it from a career standpoint (if nothing else it signals that you care about self-improvement and take active steps to doing it). I would expect you'd miss some of t

I kind of wonder about the 'high-stress.' Why is programming (or whatever you want to call it) high-stress? I mean there doesn't seem like there would be an inherent reason for it to be high-stress just considering the task

Yeah I definitely agree with this concern. Rather than an alarm it could be part of the landing checklist. The person not flying would say, "Check approach on <whatever runway cleared>", the person flying would check the d

Ugly stuff. I'm glad it ended up as a miss. This incident as well as the previous ones shows that pilots need better support in these conditions. Lots of airports are set up with multiple parallel runway configs. It wouldn't be

This sort of thing has actually been dealt with in the past. In 1908, William Gosset working for Guinness brewery in Dublin, published his statistical work under the pen name of "Student." Which gave us the oddly named "Stu

The proper name I think would be "Technical Reports." Not terribly catchy. But journal does make it sound like they are pretending to be science-y.

But they haven't reached safety. They will be censored into oblivion by large corps who don't want to be seen endorsing/promoting that content, and any rival services they set up to fill those gaps will wither on the vine. T
