I downvoted you without second thought, as I believe people change and holding them accountable for everything they've ever done forever is cruel. However, now that I recall this lionhearted guy better, I think he…
I spent half an hour composing meaningful description of insignificance of the work (without judging if it is indeed a result, attacked "uniqueness" is more of a technicality than anything much of a big deal) only to…
Cool, this. A very nifty (if somewhat detailed) complexity analysis of the Algorithm X appeared in blogosphere's festschrift for Knuth's 70, http://11011110.livejournal.com/128249.html I've used P159 in my absolutely…
$100 in parts, according to this guy: http://vicacopter.com I tried (unsuccessfully) to make his design a year ago and it was more like $300 though, and that assuming you have the RF equipment. Guy works at NASA I…
I remember that too. It was, as you say, a while ago, meaning long time outdated. And I indeed recall it to be pg-posted, but instead all I can find is this non-pg release with all links broken:…
Do you have a reference for that review? http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/1997-November/000128.htm...
at least learn to spell his name! Thank you for this most kind and substantial observation. In my defense, Hoyle used to joke of himself like that since concieving his steady-state cosmology where matter constantly…
Since Dyson contributed half of quantum electrodynamics, and we have numerous Dyson theorems; and since Penrose contributed half of present classical gravity, and we have numerous Penrose theorems, including celebrated…

Thanks :) I now know the structure, that's why I "grew" to appreciate Gardner nowadays (albeit now I also find he's doing many things "simple as possible and even simpler" (contrary to the Einstein quote) and thus...…
I grew to like Gardner's writings somewhat now. They however, indirectly, had almost devastating effect on my earlier life, promoting sort of mathematics I never could do. There is "bag of tricks" culture of mathematics…

Sanjeev Arora, paper's coauthor, but also leading expert on approximations to NP-hard problems, has posted a FAQ detailing why he thinks no approximation would help,…
If they really do is not proven. Chroloplast is a chemical device that obeys quantum chemistry and thus is hampered by quantum decoherence. But if how molecules there organize to overcome this is truly and not only…

Is there a reason why an approximate solution to the dense subgraph problem could not allow I haven't read the paper either ;] (just skimmed bibliography to get a sense, as I usually do first) but Arora (one of the…

The NT kernel is the most beautiful piece of code I've seen Modulo Plan9 kernel. It's also lot smaller a read (ca. 50 KLoC and that's it). NT kernel itself doesn't have source out but for folks who are students And…
According to James Simons, "The average annual income of leading research mathematicians (those, say, with at least three articles in the Annals of Mathematics) is about 10,000,000 USD" ;]
