In most real-world cases, it'll look like this: gzip+Homogenius < gzip < Homogenius < original JSON gzip+Homogenius will typically be better than just gzip because Homogenius 'knows' about the structure of JSO

It's a trick to make the simulation more stable. Stacking in physics engines is difficult. It's a careful balance between speed and stability. If this demo took place on Earth, the Jenga blocks would have to be 1.96 meters long in

Looks good! Seems to have a strong treatment of algebraic codes and coding bounds. For those interested in reading, you'll probably want some background in linear algebra. All the necessary definitions are included in the text, but it

I'm not sure where I fall on this. Sometimes I want to machine-validate all of my proofs, and sometimes I feel it doesn't matter. A couple arguments from the other direction: - Reading and verifying each step of a proof is not n

It works okay. One shortcoming, as mentioned at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7831680 , is that there is no clear model for state transitions. Let's say that on day 1, you want to use Apache: - apt: name=apac

You know, I don't really mind that the NSA is collecting this information. What bothers me is that it's not being released to the public. What good are their efforts if no one else can build off of their work?

Functionally, layered and acyclic NNs are the same thing. An arbitrary acyclic NN acts the same as a layered NN with some of the weights fixed at 1 or 0. (Replace any edge crossing n layers in a non-layered acyclic NN with a chain of n node

Feedforward neural networks are acyclic; recurrent neural networks are cyclic. Recurrent NNs are harder to train in general.

You can express it formally in terms of a rewrite rule: If Δ is a derivation ending in an expression of the form α(((Qβ)γ)δ)ι, then Δ followed by the term αβι is a derivation. Writing it as \xyz.x is just a less noisy way of saying that.
