What? That money isn't disappearing, it goes to the company but also to its employees. They then return it to the economy. What you're suggesting is that the tax payers spend their money and get nothing in return - it's corpo

A lot of the time those guys are just making magical promises to customers with no idea how what they want could actually work. Then they throw it to engineering and either take the credit or shift the blame.

Artificial intelligence does not need to actually be intelligent, it just needs to seem to be. It's literally what artificial means. The code that controlled the paddle in pong? Also AI. (If it ever actually becomes sapient it will be

People have already succeeded in generating adversarial images that confuse neural networks. Until networks reach the point where those techniques don't work any more, it's probably a better option - it allows you to automatically

± is useful for ambiguities, such as the the result of the antifunction of a symmetrical function. But there's no ambiguity here - those signs that you're suggesting popped out of nowhere.

Here's one that gets me: what's the sign of infinity? What do I mean? 1/d retains the sign of d across all finite and infinitesimal values. 1/ε = +∞, 1/-ε = -∞ So what about 1/0? Neutral infinity.

He said it'll work fine, not that Microsoft is promoting it as such. There're no fundamental changes to what's actually required, the limitations are arbitrary and set by Microsoft (and they provide a means to get around them

Very little. It's an idealogical flamewar, that in most cases is without impact. The binary format of the log file still seems to me to be a bad idea - it introduces corruptibility and complexity to a vital service that should be simpl

I think there are three fundamental aspects to the nature of the death of near death experience. Struggle, acceptance and (what I'm going to call) decay. The first two I believe to be evolved mechanisms, the third whatever fits inciden

When rent's 10 times as much, there's a good chance that you're focusing on the wrong thing. Anyway, I'm out - before this degrades into a meaningless flame war.

Impulse isn't force over (divided by) time, it's the integral of force over (with respect to) time.

You still should consider collateral damage - we've been throwing broad spectrum antibiotics at damned near everything for decades. We've started an arms race with a staggeringly dynamic enemy, and our solution thus far has been t

I think in general the answer is more likely to be probiotics than antibiotics. I think we underestimate the extent to which pathogens thrive in niches carved out by the absence of symbiotic bacteria required by our microbiomes. Fecal trans
