If you have a large set of lets say floats in the range between 0 and 1 and you add them up, there is the straightforward way to do it and there is a way to pair them all up, add the pairs, and repeat that process until…

There can be verification for such things.
The problem is that it permeates writing in so many places. For example, games get more and more littered with this sort of nonsense, too. And worse, it is often also used as a vehicle to convey all sorts of ideologies.…
I haven't read the actual paper, but alone from the abstract many questions come up. Personally, I doubt the any "near" to "mid" term population decline will have larger effects on the climate change we are seeing. It…
It is like Sim City 1 where crossroads generated traffic, so you'd replace them with parks.
It can, but it requires the track to be free in front of it and being allowed to go at the required speed to catch up.
If I look at one of the photography books in my shelf, they are even talking about 18 stops and such for some film material, and how this doesn't translate to paper and all the things that can be done to render it…
There is no system that fulfills your requirements. It is even easy to explain why: Humans are part of all the moving pieces in such a system and they will always subvert it to their own agenda, no matter what rules you…
Doesn't need video anymore, high end cameras can run wild on taking picture after picture and start doing so before you even fully pressed the shutter, to account for human delays and the ones of the tech itself. I mean…
If I see something like "At least on Linux, long and long long are both 64 bits in size." my skin starts to crawl. Not only that, but GCC defines __builtin_popcount() with unsigned int / long / long long, respective,…

This has a lot to do with framing in photography, architecture, and all these other things where "design" is involved that humans perceive as pleasing. It also means that not everyone has a knack for that. In return,…

Neural networks are generalizing things as part of their optimization scheme. The current approach is just to dump many layered neural networks (at the core) as in "deep learning" to solve the problems, but the networks…
Yeah, it is down to the apps, not the phone as a device as such. Engagement driven software exists on consoles and PCs / laptops as well, and I'm not even talking about "social media" stuff, but pretty much all live…
Over the years I was wondering why management is often so bad to begin with. There are terms like "stupid" that are often used -- I certainly did and still do -- but more often than not the people in question are not…
The problem is software, though. I have a X200s with 4 GiB RAM from 2009. It was interesting to see how Firefox got slower and slower over the years. Granted, it not only is Firefox but also retard websites which use…
Germans have this "StVO" which regulates the rules in traffic and also what happens if you not follow them. Crossing a red light can result in a ticket, no matter whether you are a pedestrian or driving a car.…
