So? That doesn't evidently include business assets let alone future growth.

LOL. "Having used the fungible services of a company that is being reported on" is a weak basis for claiming a conflict of interest, a mere grasping of straws. These disclaimers are reserved for financial or business interests b

I don't think he means the models of the human mind at the implementation level. Rather he's referring to the mental conception of a specific problem or task, or even a natural language description of the problem, and how that is

For niche CAD tools theres usually only one or two games in town and a lot of stickiness with old files, production workflows, user skill with the tool, etc. Switching to a different solution may not be an option. Unless they start suing

I think of it as a multidimensional space where Rust is a linear combination of the C++ and ML vectors.

Ahh that is too bad. Would be a cool student project to convert these to canvas, WebGL, or P5JS.

Its not really that simple. Does the 50 cent ARM have accelerated floating point (though 32-bit fixed point is usually fine)? Does the analog design have a realizable digital model (not always possible/practical with non-linear syste

Increasing n gives increasing weight to outliers, to the point where L-infinity is just the single maximum value. I would guess this is less useful when attempting to understand how existing data can make conclusions about future aggregate

Not really. The cost of skilled labor is related to the amount of experience and training required to be able to perform that labor as well as the supply/demand for that labor. Unless all these software engineers pulling down $200&#x

In addition to what others have said here and elsewhere, I think some of it is also internal competition gone too far among mechanical designers to make the thinnest edge or the most subtle bezel. When I worked with product designers in th

I think it breaks down when that array has to interact with system libraries or the C stdlib in any way. A lot of C string functions have weird gotchas related to terminators and sizes, and any IO you're doing will involve raw buffers

More to the point, Rust and other statically typed languages* eliminate type errors at compile-time. In e.g. Python, the following code: foo = Bar() foo.baz() will compile without complaint but, supposing that baz() is not a me

True, the Fourier transform can be viewed as a specialization of wavelet transforms, so in that sense wavelets are fundamental. Like many mathematical subjects the specialization is treated before some historical generalization in educatio

In terms of an introductory DSP guide, wavelets aren't all that fundamental compared to eg filters, impulse/frequency responses, and the DFT, unless you're working specifically with something like image compression.
