Hmm I happen to be working on some 3D code that I don't currently have ultraclear plans for. I would be interested in chatting about your use cases. Unfortunately I see you want this for IPad and my code is unlikely to ever run there

I don't see the problem. Once you have enough bits to resolve every pairwise difference you're just reduced to the problem of comparing the sums of two lists of n bit integers and I'm pretty sure that's in P. If it&#x27

It seems like this should just reduce to the question: given two natural numbers x and y represented by n bits how many bits are needed to represent the difference sqrt(y) - sqrt(x) so that it is non-zero when x != y. To see this suppose y

Yes, for 30 years the West has been playing a dangerous game of poke the Bear, it probably won't end well.

I think Putin really does not want to have NATO member countries on his border and he is afraid that Ukraine will end up joining NATO or at least becoming very closely aligned with them. He may have hoped to bluff his way to getting conces

Don't you think a tablet provides a rather limited interface for 3d modeling ?

Interesting article. I've assumed that route optimization would be a fairly well-developed industry by now without a lot of room for new small entrants, especially with all the well-known companies offering online delivery services.

That would be using a very high inflation rate since 1980 (around when I assume this must have happened). I think the official factor is closer to 3x than 5x.

What you're describing is the central concept in Computational Complexity Theory. It's how complexity classes like P, NP, #P, etc. are defined.

It's not clear to me what you mean by "high quality". Do you just mean capturing images at the highest resolution the camera supports or do you have some other criterion for quality ? Also are the images to be taken at rand

64 GB is a lot of memory to put in a PC. Ten years ago that amount of memory would have cost you about $64000. EDIT: Er, sorry it looks like I misread the chart, I think the price 10 years ago was much lower than that. It's still a l

I've never heard of a software development consultancy referred to as a "software factory" before. Did you just invent that term ?

Your product page ( https://blackmagic.so/ ) is very well-done. My first impression is that it is even one of the best I have ever seen. What tools/frameworks did you use for building the frontend ?

Thanks for taking the time to write these insightful comments.

Does (2) ever actually work ? From what I've seen people very rarely recognize problems they have that have potential software solutions. If this weren't the case why aren't there websites where people are posting problems t

That's interesting. It seems a bit weird that a log analyzer would need to do additional logging, but maybe that's the case in larger systems. I wonder if using log4j as a tool for log analysis as opposed to generation might be

by tgflynn 5y ago
Are you saying that log4j is also used for analyzing logs that have already been generated ? My understanding was that it was intended for use inside an application for generating log messages and processing them before they are sent out t

It sounds like you're trying to read papers that assume a certain level of mathematical sophistication without having reached that level. Typical engineering papers will assume at least what's taught in 2 years of college level m

That seems like a really good question. I highly doubt that skill at software development and skill at self-promotion are positively correlated. In fact I suspect they are likely to be negatively correlated.

My impression is that with QC the gap between the reality and the hype is far greater than it ever was with ML, and that's already a pretty high bar to cross. I don't have a very clear understanding of what it is these cloud provi

Probably but it would be a lot of work. Why do you need to work with screenshots instead of live sites ?

I'm not an expert so I could be wrong, but my impression is that outside of a few academic and industry research groups there is no such thing as "quantum programming" because there is as yet nothing resembling a programmable

I don't think helping your neighbor move some furniture without compensation is going to create a tax liability.

by tgflynn 5y ago
It sounds like there was some payment involved in that case. The OP's statement included "it is illegal to voluntarily help someone who is not family", which would make it illegal to help a friend move furniture or paint thei

It sounds like you're talking about exchanges, which was only part of the OP's question, which also included the much more sweeping: "it is illegal to voluntarily help someone who is not family".

by tgflynn 5y ago
That seems extremely unlikely. I lived in France for over 10 years and I never heard of any law like that. It is however illegal NOT to help a "person in danger" there.

Nothing in my comment suggests otherwise.

I won't argue you needn't worry about long term covid effects but I don't think comparison with polio does much to support that. Polio was known to cause paralysis in some patients since antiquity while covid is essentially

Integration is covered in any calculus course, the comment I was replying to do was about Lebesgue integration which is a much more advanced topic that as far as I know is only needed for integrating functions which are so pathological that
