Because they believe they will turn a profit on the investment (in expectation). Next question
Yeah, that makes sense. Given your account, it sounds like the 2D paradigm of the bibi-symbols (which I'm following) is fundamentally bad for interpretability with dyslexia, because it results in a lot of symmetries.…
I agree. I also think that the alphabet leans too far in the direction of making the symbols distinct, and not enough in the direction of making them transparently interpret-able as binary - which is the unique aspect…
This is an aside. But I twigged on a caption for one of the figures: “Every computational problem takes longer to solve as its input grows larger, but not all problems grow harder at the same rate.” It’s obvious from…
> Scientifically, this MUST be superior to simply replacing the cork (or screw cap in Australia). Why must this be the case? This is a genuine question, not a pure objection. Consider two oxygen levels, o_1 and o_2,…
There’s probably nothing to this, but when I try to screenshot the pdf (https://ia802805.us.archive.org/7/items/comp3321/comp3321.pd...) on iOS Safari, my phone locks up for a moment with a black screen and spinner and…
Sorry... what? In fashionable places these are some of the most common high-end shoes I see people wearing. They're not very hard to buy or artificially scarce, just expensive, so they're not really a target for…
On the topic of hair synthesis... a particularly mind-blowing legal complaint alleges a startup CEO that has published and shown at Siggraph repeatedly of fabricating large elements of their tech. It was brought by a…
Well. Videos are orders of magnitude larger than many other common web content formats. And there are probably several codecs available on a CDN. It's reasonable to call that expensive and still claim that cloud…
Hmmm. Inclined to agree if you replace the company in this argument with a person. Very disinclined in actuality, since this is a company providing a service to people who have handed over custody of their personal data…
I think you're right about this for many people but not all. Intel stepping up the lane counts in HEDT is definitely a good reactionary move but won't affect the budget-constrained scenarios I discussed until a few…
One important niche where Intel is ripe to lose their lead is deep learning workstations. The issue at hand: they don't put high enough PCIe lane counts on all but the highest end desktop processors. It's unclear if…
This is true. Lots of other mentions of Germany in this thread with good points. The downsides to Germany that Americans and Canadians (and to a lesser extent British) might perceive: - Constant store closures. Almost…
In the art world, Banksy is seen largely as trite and is known to attract new and dumb money. If you've seen his film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", Mr. Brainwash, the aspiring artist he portrays, is quite similar to how…
Sorry, but you have to do the work. There's no real point to having every paper revisit the key points of the field that everyone working already knows. The introduction section, when well written, provides starting…
This is absolutely wrong, as many passengers do not make it to a flight, without being bumped. This rate is very high and makes overbooking valuable. The difference in cost includes both the relatively low bumping rate…
Someone's never managed a supply chain before
Hospitals have needs that hotels don't from the ground up. They have different architecture, interior design, and HVAC needs, they have different real estate needs, they need to be robust to natural disasters, they…
Very interesting answer from Suzanne Sadedin. Very odd that "Arush Kakkar, Founder, CorsecoTech", who appears to neither be a physician, nor a medical science expert, nor a woman, is the highest displayed answer for me,…
This is actually a subject dealt with widely in the humanities. The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction is a good start, for instance. It does seem odd for art to be valued by the market, but there are…
I believe ancient linguistic nuances like this are sometimes divined from formally structured poetry, among other sources. Also analysis of languages thought to share a common ancestor could imply near-identical…
Sorry, what??? I mean, you're entitled to do whatever you'd like. But do you see the potential valuations being tossed around? "Drew" is worth tens to hundreds of millions. I just have no idea why someone would find it…
Yeah leaving aside the (possibly warranted) cynical tone in GP... It seems to me that ensembles (and related structures, I'm playing fast and loose here) are the modern ML counterpart of subsumption.. driving an…

Seems like this post has been killed, but here's another perspective anyway. I'm a former student at a school functionally identical (and in many, many ways culturally similar) to Columbia. Aside from my…
