Either my English is very bad or your comprehension is. My understanding is no different from what you say in this comment.

Thanks for the pointer. EDIT Thanks again. This exactly like what I had in mind, in spirit at least.

Yes am familiar with Eigen. And yes I am/was that lunatic you mention in your other comment. This thing I wrote, predated Eigen (by a few years, I think) had a better support for pipelines and dataflow oriented programming (at least in

In my grad school days, a couple of decades ago, I had written a library for my own use to facilitate chaining of different kinds of numeric operations on data vectors and sequences. Essentially, for a very simple form of deforestation [0,

I see. Makes sense.

You are talking about the inverse problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_problem Yes because it's not a one to one map we cannot invert the map uniquely. But that's ok, we can maintain a distribution

I right away admit that I am an absolute novice in this space, but I have a few questions. The question I always had is why do we not model it closer to the actual tangible Physics and Biology going on ? For example, the Physical reality is

I have always been intrigued by the similarity of Italian naming conventions and that of the Arabs and Persians. Resident of, son of, father of, family of. Leonardo of Pisa of the family of Bonacci being another well known one. I suppose it

Thanks for replying. Such a comprehensive and well thought comment ought to have been a top standalone comment.

Risk starting a war !! That was the whole freaking point. The attacking forces doesn't give a flying F about Iranians otherwise the sanctions would have been removed long ago on humanitarian reasons.

Some religious people would be nodding along in agreement not realising this is satire.

Very interesting. Are there any technical hindrances that prevent Android being the same ?

There was a good corporate bullshit generator posted here in HN but probably before chatGPT became a thing. Can't seem to find it. Love ? That's for plebs. The right thing is to leverage wholistic synergizing paradigms.

Oh I love meeting and knowing people from different parts of the world, have curiosity about their human stories, about how they think, what they find funny, their food, their music, their culture, their interests. Oh yes their food, music

I find the technical side of the hobby very interesting but the thought that it requires having a conversation with strangers and that too synchronously, is a personal deterrent. I don't know if there are others like me. EDIT: Glad to

Not unlike a cartel head that rules by a mix of fear and gaslighting. Many religious texts, not just the Bible start making a lot of sense when looked at like psyops.

Bible is quite permissive of killing if it's in the name of god. Genocide is quite a recurring theme.

by srean 8mo ago
Yes exactly. Golden rule does not need the existence of any god. There are godless religions too that have strong ethical traditions. They are not religions in the Abrahamic sense.

Oops I commented the same before reading yours.

Is that really true or is it a parallel construction to hide humint sources. Much like the bin Laden story.

I think, small with abrupt expansion spaces. Sharper the change in impedance more the reflection. The worst would be a tapering wave guide, unless it used to intentionally guide away the energy. This completely ignores the effect of ground

Prompted by current news I was idly thinking about how caverns and tunnels get impacted by surface level blast overpressured. How much of the energy will get transmitted as opposed to reflected will depend on impedance matching. There are t

That is an interesting thought.

One of the nicest guys I have met. Was an intern at Google at that time, firing off mapreduces then (2003-2004) was quite a blast. The Peter Weinberger theme T-shirt too.

What is mysterious to me is why and how chemical reactions in a certain part of my brain create an experience of blue. Yes some chemical change happened there, but so what. These are not very unusual chemical reactions. They happen and are
