I can't figure out what your question is. Could you explain in a bit more detail? What is a skills basis?

This argument could be extended to anything by just dividing up the target into smaller chunks, just because individuals have negligeable impact on global climate doesnt mean nobody has any responsibility to reduce emissions. No raindrop th

Out of interest, How many times have you needed to raise a pre-seed round? It sounds like you are doing it a lot. I've only been involved in 1, it was ~2 years ago, and I wouldn't say it was super easy. I have seen several news ar

Anything that uses an electric motor can use a smaller more efficient motor, id expect big changes in e.g. electric cars, but also probably things like robotic actuators getting smaller and more efficient. Also there are superconductor base

I get what you are saying. Perhaps its a morphing of what exactly people find shameful is the thing OP was talking about then. Where he identifies a lack of shame, its really just the shame is concentrated on completely different actions, a

I cant help but feel the golden rule gets you most of the way there, treat others as youd want to be treated. Of course tgere will still be gray areas on the edges, but debating whether you should beat someone for being gay shouldnt be an e

Being ashamed about nudity is i beieve a totally different thing. The shame op is talking about is feeling bad when you have cheated your neighbours, or being ashamed of doing something that lands you in jail i.e. caring about your reputati

i feel like this is just the research process. My solution is to just try something that seems relevant. Soon you will realise it may not work because X. but maybe Y will work. Then you keep going, learning more about the area, the data,

I wasnt the best at staying in contact. I could have met him every morning if i had my shit together, but i caught up with him once every week or 2 in practice. Most of the help early on was guidelines on papers to read, and topics to write

i finished my phd quite a few years ago. My topic started out as signal processing applied to speech, but morphed into signal processing applied to bioinformatics because it was easier to publish. it was an extension of undergrad, electroni

tourist hotspots often need a lot of service workers, who have to live somewhere too. Not to mention that higher rents/decreasing total stock in one part of a city can create more competition for other parts, raising prices everywhere

I enjoyed reading this article. I was doing research on speech recognition in the 2005 to 2010 period, and the article sums up the feeling. Everything was based on HMMs but there was no clear path to getting HMM performance up from where it

My one wish is that machine learning papers would use paper titles that actually described what the paper was about. I suppose there is a certain 'evolutionary pressure' where clever titles 'outcompete' dryer, more descr

I have never heard anyone express a dislike for hard working students, unless they are perhaps poor students as well as hard working. Ideally the candidate is smart and hard working, but being very smart and lazy is probably better than bei

It can never be completely automatic, because people may want to add deductions etc. In australia the my process was just going to the mygov website, looking at all the prefilled numbers and clicking ok. I think thats a good balance between

are hash functions considered random? considering they are deterministic in their inputs and outputs. With randomised primality testing, you could use a true random number (based on e.g. nuclear decay) every time, and get the same correctne

I guess theres always a caveat, but fevers can get too high and go for too long, in which case reducing the fever might be a good idea. But if it gets to that point, you should be working with a doctor to make those decisions.

I look at in the following way: understanding something by abstracting over lower level details doesn't mean the abstraction is how things actually work , the extra layer of abstraction may just be a nice way of thinking about someth

Doesnt that answer your question? If humans vision benefits are so good, and being close to the ground is bad, then the need for a strong sense of smell is greatly reduced.
