Yes I don't get it why milk is considered more ethically sound than eggs in my country. Milk is stolen baby food extracted industrially under not so nice conditions. Precision-Fermented (animal-Free) milk does exist but it is not easil

Not only USSR. I wonder whether Arthur Conan Doyle had the idea before the police started using typewriter typeface wear and tear for forensics.

I only wish they allowed browsing journals by year and volume. Libgen allowed that but war in Ukraine broken libgen. It lives but as a much shadier alter egos that does not support all that original libgen supported.

You are right. I went back and checked on Wikipedia. Now I cannot reconstruct why I believed PKD and Scott collaborated.

Human Mathematics is what lives in the head of all of humanity, not a serialized proof of a theorem or conjecture. Yes the other kinds maybe useful, may even pay the bills, but as long as humans enjoy mathematics the human side will survive

Your comment reminded me of my K6 (or was it a K7) based PC I had assembled as a high schooler of modest means. My goto testing protocol was to recompile the Linux kernel and make GNU chess play itself at the highest settings. I was quite d

> And ironically the Philip K Dick original was... very different. True. Ridley Scott and Philip K Dick collaborated very closely to tell it like they wanted it to. Studios liked it ... not so much.

Because some people make more interesting and thoughtful comments that I would like to reread. Some share interests.

Yup. It's one of those weird and rare movies that grows on you the number of times you watch it. I have watched it at different ages. The later I have watched the better it seemed.

Oh vow. Now jealous. My highlight that can even dare to come close would be a Roger Waters show. Would love to experience the three *katsis in such a setting.

But nowhere close to the emotional impact. People usually do not remember what happened turn by turn but they do remember what it made them feel. Funnily enough, in the movie, the humans have little no feelings but the androids do -- and t

Signal processing / denoising of astronomical images is a field of study onto itself. If you are like me you will find it super interesting. There is immense variety based upon what kind of telescope, what do you want to capture, wheth

For that application you needn't have bothered. On a sphere arc-length and Euclidean distance are monotonically related, so the minimizer would not have changed.

Yes. Every generation needs to rediscovery the old chestnuts. That's why I think old but good textbooks should stay available and new text books should cute them. That is how knowledge is retained over generations. Some dislike new tex

Some anecdotes to support and color your point. The sin function has Indian and Greek roots. Part of that history is in the name 'sin' itself. I will let you all look that up. It's quite a funny story especially the jya to ja

Good point. If you also incorporate scale then it is, otherwise they need to be unit normalised. The unnormalized case is essentially a complex number.

There are a couple of comments buried in this discussion about this. It is really cute and clever. Although new to me this seems to be an old trick. The unit has a name -- BRAD.

Damn :) why did I not think of that. This would be useful for serialization deserialization. I have used half angles ½θ because there is no ambiguity about the full angle θ if I know it's sin value (and of course this holds for tan ½θ)
