That's not really the hard or useful part part. According to a radiologist and machine learning researcher[1]: "It turns out that deep learning is a very good match for some of the most time consuming (and therefore costly) parts

What would be a better term for it? Maybe "the mathematics of computation"?

For anyone who is interested in an accessible introduction to representing rotations, I highly recommend this site: https://rotations.berkeley.edu . One of my professors provided it for one of his courses, and it's been a r

I think you have a good point. The trick is to consider the device or object not on its own, but in the context of the organization. Large organizations like the military would probably be happier with an item that needs intensive inspecti

What your're talking about is called the max q condition[1]. It's definitely a significant design consideration, but I believe that the loading would very different when the rocket is plowing through the air in a particular direct

That's exactly what happens. See for example the murder of Helen Wilson [1], for which six (!) people were falsely convicted, because they were manipulated into forming false memories. [1] www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017&#x2

Actually, I am. I benefit from a lot of public services, and I'm sure you do too.

That's just not true. Whether the message is from an "intelligent" source or not, it can still contain information. When you make an observation of a random process, you decrease your uncertainty about its state, or in othe

That appears to be an increasingly common perspective, summed up in the phrase "it from bit". It seems to owe its popularity to this essay by John Wheeler from 1989 [1]. I'm not really familiar with the topic so I can'

You've claimed that there's no equilibrium several times, but as far as I can tell, you haven't explained it even once. Do you have a citation? Or do you have some model in which football fails to satisfy the criteria?

The naive implementation of the DFT in terms of a matrix-vector multiplication has time complexity O(n^2) [1]. The point is that the FFT approach is much faster than that implementation. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

If you're looking for series that really focus on the "character study" aspect, then I would recommend Welcome to the NHK and Tatami Galaxy . Both series deal a lot with regret, hopelessness, and isolation, which I think

Cannot recomment Planetes enough! I'm watching it again with my girlfriend, and after some initial skepticism, she was very much onboard. And we haven't even gotten to the really good stuff yet.

Of course everyone has an agenda. I think it crosses over into "manipulation" when you knowingly advance your own agenda at the other person's expense. For instance, suppose I have a wonderful product people would love to bu

And everyone who has played Russian roulette will tell you that it's perfectly harmless. Every time. Strange that you consider advocacy to be both "whining into the ether" and also "coercion". Do you outsource all

Is it tyranny to force a business to sell, say, a wedding cake, to a customer they don't like? Or is it tyranny to not force a business to accept everyone, even if they don't comply with social norms like, say, wearing a mask?

First ask yourself how quickly you could build a self-sustaining society deep in the Sahara, or at the south pole. Then realize that both of those places are waaay more habitable than the surface of Mars, since they both have a breathable

I wrote up a jupyter notebook myself looking at this problem a couple years ago and I was thinking about cleaning it up into a blog post. Oh well. Guess that just goes to show the dangers of procrastination. For what it's worth, my t

Attempting to optimize the card generation process, or deck building, or just play itself seem like unbelievably difficult problems. Some effort at least has been made in the first part (see RoboRosewater) but the other two seem almost i

Nuclear weapons still aren't easy to make by any means. It's not so much the nuclear physics that's the challenge as it is all of the engineering best-practices. That, and the difficulty of obtaining raw materials. And nucl

Do you have any evidence showing that social scientists are any more agenda driven than, for instance, biologists?

Even in computer science I don't think that holds. Lord knows there are enough stories about issues with unusual hardware and unreproducible heisen-bugs that I would never assume that something will work for everybody just because it

Pagerank worked fine when it was invented. It's a very elegant algorithm. But in a perfect illustration of Goodhart's law, it fell apart once people realized that they could game it to increase their traffic. Google has been in

The good news is that this doesn't seem like it affects submarines significantly. So the defending nation should still have second-strike capability, making it unwise to initiate an attack.

Why would you think that they feel a need to be the "good guys"? They are doing their part in perpetuating a power structure that benefits them personally.

Especially annoying when they call it "people who bought this also bought". I don't think so Amazon. Just call it "related items" please.

Well maybe we need to go over their heads then. That's supposed to be the purpose of the legislative branch - make rules about how the government is allowed to operate.
