The LZ algorithms are like magic. LZ78 factorization can be written in 5 line of python, and then can be used in a mysteriously effective distance metric. The power of math and "useless" Kolmogorov complexity!

I have noticed this with Republicans after the advent of Trump. Suddenly things like close ties with Russia or moral transegence, major criticisms of past democrats, either no longer mattered or were suddenly a good thing, i.e. maybe Russi

While we like to pooh pooh at the theoreticians, there are some remarkable results proven just through thought experiments and math, which are only confirmed and used many, many years later. People would not even think to look into such th

Shannon derived the maximum channel capacity decades, almost a century, before we are finally getting close.

Personally class time in STEM courses has always been a waste for me. If it wasn't required for my degrees, I would just learn everything on my own, pass the tests and complete the assignments. OTOH I also attended a great books disc

Yes, conservatives have been the only group associated with riots this year. Makes total sense why they are the only ones targeted.

Not sure about sci hub, but these open archive like arxiv and bioarxiv are still biased. I know one world renown scientist who cannot submit his article to bioarxiv even though Nature has no problem with his paper (but won't publish i

In machine learning there is the concept of a generalization bound where you can determine if your model has successfully generalized without reference to a validation dataset. In which case, your training and real world dataset can be the

Yes the wiki page states their Pinterest account was suspended, along with other media getting dropped from other platforms. Most pro life groups experience the same thing.

It could be calculated to further inflame, radicalize and marginalize people.

I am wrong about deplatforming in response to 6 Jan. However, prolife groups are regularly deplatformed without presenting misinformation or hate speech.

yes, prolife groups in the past abortionists have been shot due to what prolifers have said, so now they go out of their way to avoid anything hateful and violence inducing, yet they are getting deplatformed en mass in the fallout from 6 Ja

sure, they might be hate speech, but seems no worse than what i see on daily kos however, i am talking about an entirely separate group that goes out of its way to not say anything hateful and not condone violence due to tragic occurrences

unfortunately, "hate speech" seems to be defined as "whatever makes me upset" where "me" is a group accepted by tge platform e.g. there are prolife groups that say nothing negative against any people, but get b

All I ask is consistency of deplatforming by big tech. If Trump gets deplatformed for inciting violence, then BLM should get deplatformed for all the cops assassinated by BLM activists.

BLM rhetoric has resulted in the assassination of numerous police officers, yet no one is deplatforming BLM.

No one said the left's agenda is the popular agenda. The fact a single news station can be the most popular by being a slight political outlier is just indication of how controlling the left needs to be to enforce their view of realit

What's wrong with allowing fundamentally different worldviews? Today's secular status quo would not exist without such privilege. Seems hypocritical to turn around and deny it to others.

Yet twitter doesn't ban the iranian ayatollah for inciting violence against Israelis, which actually does result in significant violence as opposed to the potential for violence.

I say crack down on all politicians inciting violent mobs. Don't make it a partisan issue.

Yes, that's the one. Probably ignored because it doesn't have any harmful implications.

I remember recently the Iran ayatollah promoted wiping out Israel on Twitter and nothing happened. Jack Dorsey dismissed it as "saber rattling" from a country that routinely helps terrorists attack and kill Israelis. I guess tha
