I kinda feel this way about variable names in physics. You could call the (x,y,z) components of the magnetic field (L,M,N), see [0]. There are so many people who call that utterly wrong, but really it's totally fine and…
How would this work for a personal blog? Would I need to be careful not to endorse or even talk about companies and products? And if I didn't have to, wouldn't that open the door for advertising masquerading as news or…
> encode laws into some sort of machine code Don't need to encode it in some sort of machine code. Just need a git repo with the law so we can submit a PR to the CA assembly and get this fixed.
Great article. I have two comments: 1. Procrastination seems to be a type of early stopping. I knew I had a good strategy in school! 2. Something that seems to be sorely missing in machine learning (I'm not a ML expert)…
Other purpose than being a psychological trick, what purpose could pointing out the lack of evidence at the time have? Instead they could have written something like "We found the problem in 2021 and promptly fixed it.…
It's pretty obvious if you ignore the great leap backwards... I mean forward, coming down from ~40 births/1000 in the 1950s and 1960s to ~20 in the late 70s and after.

You mean, the little ant on the floor? I barfed at 1-based indexing for about a week, but now it is as natural as anything. I would compare 0-based and 1-based indexing with whether you put semicolons at the end of each…

I believe they were collecting samples from nearby bat caves: build your lab where your specimens are?

Full surface including oceans. I actually got something like 6.6 * 10^17 per mm^2, but who's counting?
Perhaps in more human terms: On the surface of the Earth, there are 8.4 IPv4 addresses per km^2. Not counting the oceans, that would be 28 IPv4 addresses per km^2 land. IPv6 gives 10^17 addresses per mm^2 (yes, square…

So is there also a kind of "reverse broken window" fallacy, e.g., for housing, where not tearing down an old... excuse me... "historic" building prevents the creation of bigger and better things?

For neutrinos there is no nighttime. The neutrinos are captured when they need to travel the maximum distance through the earth. That way, there are fewer other particles that need to be distinguished from neutrinos.
Are there any laptops with two nubs: one for the mouse, one for scrolling? Then one could also put the keyboard in a more comfortable position right where the touchpad is now.
