I'm sorry, did anyone mention quantum effects..?

I'm sorry, but they kinda said nothing about speed or size. >predominantly analog signals, that don't have any sort of equivalent silicon basis. They said the computing units we use on silicon are, at a fundamental level, compl

Very cool. I think the more open and available this technology is, the quicker we'll be able to optimize and iterate on it. I'm hoping the price of current generation prostheses plummet over the next decade as a result.

Could it be a pre-emptive political move to avoid scrutiny from governments where the content that was streamed (Christchurch shooting, some illegal pornography) is illegal? Also, I'm pretty sure they know some of the perpetrators but

My favorite interviews are the ones that have pushed me to the edge of my knowledge and had me derive things that were completely new to me. I love interviews that are genuinely enlightening, which is the opposite of regurgitating Leetcode.

This is basically what happened when Reddit banned racist subreddits. Everyone cried "But my free speech!" "Won't they just polarize even harder?" "Won't they just operate in the ShAdOwS?" Except that

The news office writes the press release not the co-authors or research group, but yeah it kinda sucks. They get a proper shout-out in the third paragraph. Should have really just been written that way in the sub-headline and introduction.

Yeah, but the difference here is that exposure can also come from negative and contrarian attention. So the dominant strategy for staying at the top of a board is sometimes to be as controversial as possible. Basically, trolling. From a met

He used a customized version of the PageRank algorithm that comes with MATLAB. The paper is pretty dense with other interesting observations. I think one of the novel contributions is experimental evidence that centrality is important to le

There's a lot of discussion I see about PageRank for CS purposes, so I'd like to give a slightly different perspective most people haven't heard about. A colleague of mine at CalTech recently used the PageRank Algorithm to mo

Phrased like this, I agree with you. I didn't think about it like that. I agree with the poster below. Outside of classes, lecture notes, the books I listed, and Sutton/Barto (Intro. to Reinforcement Learning) have taught me the m

This is pretty harsh. I use Goodfellow as a reference text and then supplement the mathematics behind it with more comprehensive texts like Hastie or Wasserman. Maybe if you sit down and read it cover-to-cover, it will seem disjointed. But

I feel your frustration, but you answered your own question(s) above. Sometimes people just struggle to write succinctly and clearly. If you feel particularly strongly about this, politely written feedback on the author's comment secti

Yes, they tried disclosing to officials. Not the ambassador. You're inserting your own interpretation, while I am curious about the intentions of the parent comment. I was assuming no ill-will, by the way.

I said that I hoped I was reading this wrong, so I'd posit that I was simply asking a question.

Seems kinda harsh. A giant glowing ball traveling insanely fast in the sky is a very bizarre event and it's reasonable for people to get a little scared.

Sorry, the tone seemed accusatory in your original post. As if the US and Europe were somehow morally above poaching, but I understand that is not the intention.

You may want to justify why it is "bad science" and write a letter to the editor of Nature and Nature Protocols. Is the media interpretation of these studies misguided? Sure, but the popular science media is not doing the science

The New Zealand video is orders of magnitude more viscerally graphic than the famous videos of the planes flying into the towers. This is not to say one is more tragic than the other, just that the video for the NZ shooting may be one of th
