Well the issue is finding a therapist you like that is also covered. I just moved and have been looking for a new therapist. All the ones that I’ve been recommended are not part of an insurance network. You can file for reimbursement, but i

As someone else said, not really. The link is linear algebra which is perhaps the best computational tool we have. In many areas of applied math, as soon as things get nonlinear (or non-quadratic if we’re taking derivatives since those deri

The disproofs of Landauer’s limit I am familiar with concern protocols that are not physically realizable, I.e. they require infinite time or an instantaneous quenching step. Do you have a reference that shows you can beat the limit without

Oh that’s interesting and a good point

As someone posted Landauer’s principle, I’m going to elaborate. Computation is not zero entropy as many operations (the classic example is erasing memory, which you can think about as filling a buffer with a constant) is not invertible. You

I haven’t read it since high school but I don’t recall the nature of the war being explicitly clarified. However the reader is certainly led to think that is a very strong possibility.

Well the mathematicians care for those pathological cases. Probably the most important of said pathological cases is Brownian motion / Weiner processes / SDEs. Brownian motion is differential with zero probability, yet it has many

Baseball players do something similar at the start of the season but for different reasons. They sign tons of balls while traveling for various gifts and promotions and stuff at the start of the season so they don’t need to do it later

Your TLDR is slightly wrong. The Kalman filter is exactly Bayes theorem for linear dynamics and additive Gaussian noise. Bayes theorem is more general, but these assumptions yield a simple set of linear equations that can be solved very qui

I’m not sure what the best advice is for someone with a brain injury, however I feel for you. I didn’t realize I had an attention disorder until I was 25 and it explained why I would screw up signs and struggle to understand formulas. Howev

I’d suggest looking at the related work in that paper as they list prior methods.

This is where the extended Kalman filter comes in (basically just a KF with linearization). I imagine you could also do a KF to include manifold constraints (e.g., rotations) more explicitly but I have never had the need. If you model your

As far as resources, I’m not sure. It really only takes a few lines of code if you have a linear algebra library like NumPy or similar. However you need to write down the math describing your dynamics first. The Kalman filter is really just

No motion model? If your model doesn’t have dynamics, it’s not really doing Kalman filtering

Drugs and PKD are really inseparable. Even putting aside them being a common feature of his stories, his writing process was to lock himself in a shed for a week, do a bunch of amphetamines and crank out a story. It certainly didn’t help ei

In my opinion, even though PKD endorsed an early cut of the film before his death, Blade Runner really does the book a disservice. They cut out a lot of the more interesting bits like the androids animals and the religion of Mercerism

An undergrad (non-measure theoretic) probability book with basic linear algebra and calculus is the best preparation. If you solidly understand the basic tools of probability, you can learn statistics quite easily in my experience. Without

Bayes Theorem is universal. It’s one of the most fundamental results in probability. Bayesian statistics is not. Most basic intro courses go the frequentist routes for historical reasons, but really both methods have their pros and cons.

In information theory, information is a property of the distribution generating your data. Informally, for a given distribution, information is defined in terms of how much you learn from observing a sample from that distribution on average

Correct. It is much more free form than other games (and even more free form RPGs exist). Every group has their own style. The DM might be very strict or loose with his reading of the rules. Players could be more or less into the role playi

Typically, when people say it lacks real understanding, they seem to mean it lacks an understanding of any object’s semantic meaning. In the above example, the person asked for an example of X API solving problem Y, and X lacked the functio
