Compared to all the effort that goes into a series or film writing the dialogue seems like a relatively small amount of effort. Except for stuff that is clearly low effort in the first place.

I suppose the next stage of malicious compliance will be to allow absolutely everyone to publish apps everywhere , but with some technical warning that is designed to be ignored.

A well kept secret of linear algebra is that having an inner product at all isn't as self-evident as it might seem. Euclidean distance might seem like some canonical notion of distance, but it doesn't have to be meaningful, especi

If anything the real lesson here is that you shouldn't try to lift your functions manually in the presence of a Monad. Monads tend to be somewhat 'infectious' in that anything that touches the Monad will need to be monadic. I

If you're clever about how you blend models you can pretty much ensure that the performance of the (weighted) averaged model is strictly better than the (weighted) average performance of the models. And increasing the space of possible

A bit late but I think you're going to have points with infinite hexagons in any neighbourhood of them. Otherwise the set of hexagons would be finite because of compactness. Which I think means those points can't really lie on

A convolutional neural network ought to have translational symmetry, which should lead to a generalized version of momentum. If I understood the article correctly the conserved quantity would be <gx, dx>, where dx is the finite differ

If somehow you can ensure that light can only reach a point by travelling through all other points then yes. It's basically the same way you could use light to solve a maze, just flood the exit with light and walk in the direction whic

It's also a fun exercise to take one of several images that show a football made out of hexagons and use the Euler characteristic to show that it is impossible to make such a football (no matter how much you bend or stretch your hexago

The problem with that is that the only practical measure of code quality is future costs. Which by definition haven't happened yet, so aren't measurable. And once they have happened you don't know what they could have been

In that case sorting algorithms aren't going to help you either.

I'm starting to be increasingly certain that making a new (sub)language to express and solve your problems is the highest form of programming. You'd think the ability to define custom syntax would be the most important, but parado

For questions like these I sometimes prefer translating everything to thermodynamics. In this case the question then becomes "Why are we looking at energy if at most ordinary temperatures systems aren't anywhere near 0 energy?&q

The first paragraph mentions a linear time graph colouring algorithm. In fact further on they explain that a simple greedy algorithm that goes through the tasks in order of starting time will work. It's fairly easy to prove it does. Ma

I think it's closer to graph colouring. And not the general version either. Apparently for such an interval graph linear time algorithms exist. [1] [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_graph

Realistically what's the biggest you can make the dataset if you need to prebuild everything? Aggregation and filtering help, but quickly become impractical if you want people to change the filters dynamically.

Unecessary use of mathematical notation / terminology definitely happens. It's one of the things that annoy me to no end. Especially if after unwrapping the unintelligible mess of mathematical gibberish you're left with some

I recall reading a very intuitive explanation including animations of a point cloud to show how it works. I've had no luck finding the article again though.

People always seem to forget that mathematical notation is designed to make algebraic manipulations easier to follow. It's not really intended as something that makes sense on its own, it's mostly physicists who think something li

Kalman filters might be one of those weird cases in mathematics where the 'simple' version is simplified beyond all recognition. I mean what you're really doing is take a measurement then simulate the possible future states a

Over here I'm pretty sure that's the only rule. Having whoever came there first go sounds like it could get very confusing in even vaguely ambiguous cases.

Icm not too certain on the details, but Google uses a framework separate from the play store itself to provide certain APIs. It's this part that microg replaces.

That hypothetical has very little to do with the situation at hand. Badd software clearly exists and it is possible to talk about how much mathematics went in it. If no mathematics went in that's still an inidication of 'how much&

As a mathematician I'd point out that 'None' is also an amount ;-)

No amount of mathematics is going to prevent you from making something nobody needs. It will work beautifully though.

It's definitely quite readable. Good luck trying to figure out what a Dane is saying though.

The MAE is minimized by the median. I share your confusion as for why one would use it for a time series. Clearly they had some reason to pick it over others, but I couldn't tell you why. Especially since ARIMA effectively minimizes RM

The fact that the mean absolute error doesn't even change all that much from ARIMA suggests to me that there's no magic here. Though mean absolute error is a bit of a weird measure. They're basically testing how closely a mod
