I recall a story where a friend was unable to publish a paper in which he wrote an alternative to a very commonly used commercial tool (that virtually everybody used) with roughly 10 times better performance. He open…
Cold calling businesses is definitely not illegal in Germany if you got the contact info from their website.
The huge difference between spiritualism and religion is that religion is dogmatic and systemically organised. In my opinion freeing spirituality from the clutch of religion is the final step, not the other way around.…
Bayes Theorem is one of the most fundamental theorems in the history of mathematics. I have yet to work in a field where it doesn't have deeply fundamental applications. In many cases expert knowledge or heuristic rules…

Testing out the demo: SELECT * FROM trips WHERE tip_amount > 500 ORDER BY tip_amount DESC Very interesting :-)
From my very limited understanding the Graphcore machines outperform CUDA only significantly in inference, in training the improvements might not be sufficient to switch technology.
With likely very dire results, yes I think you should. If your mothers insurance rate goes up, since you got one of these dna tests for Christmas, she should be involved in the decision to publish this data in the first…
To me it's not about input being the bottleneck, but about Vim having a modular grammar, such that my brain can stay in "problem space" instead of "how do I edit the file space". It allows me to have a deeper level of…
> Even the example of hosting complexity being replaced by cloud companies seems kind of silly to me. Maybe that’s saving very small companies a sizable fraction of their engineering resources, but I really doubt it for…
I just would like to add to all the great comments, that clojure also has access to the python ecosystem via libpython clj.
One could even argue that a lot of startups are VC backed R&D. Only VC does not care for the scientific, not-directly monetizable outcomes.
I haven't figured that part out either ;-)
From what I understand, you asked four questions in one: 1. how do you learn, 2. How do you decide what to learn, 3. How do you manage your learning time and 4. How do you handle the pressure of that huge mountain of…
AWS has roughly double the market shared. So it is very likely that they take that title. https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-clou...
It's a little hard to discuss when you don't actually read my comments and just skim over them. > Technology is already being developed as ASIC PHYs for commercial applications as THz MIMO radios Cool, unfortunately…
> The higher the frequency, the steeper the gradient. Losses also scale with frequency. And while other acceleration principles have higher voltage gradient, they still can't reach TeV of collision energy, since you…
A little off topic, but is there a german version of Solaris that is "readable"? The one I got reads like it was done in google translator (back when it really sucked).
I think people severely underestimate the scale, complexity, and time it takes to build large scale accelerators. There wont be some magical new accelerator popping up. Building them takes years, sometimes decades.…
A senior scientist told me they grow mushrooms now in that tunnel ;-)
In the Hyperion books by Dan Simmons there is a being that can move in higher dimensions and the books will reportedly get a movie. Maybe they will adapt some effects like this.
I took it from the article that dropping requests was permitted (since that happens when all servers go down). So my assumption is still that a better solution is that the load balancer allows only a specific number of…
I am not a webdev, but isn't that a task for the loadbalancer in the first place?
A good dogma I think fits roughly in the same category as your opinion is a quote from Alan Perlis: “A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.”
Libpython.clj allows python interop. So you have the entire ecosystem of python and Java at your hands. I would argue that this should suffice to go far beyond educational purposes.
