I like the rescramble idea. You could maybe go one step further by varying the difficulty of the rescrambling - I'm not sure if there's an established distance metric between rc states (something like a levenshtein distance, "minimum-number-of-changes-needed"), but the program could shuffle the cube out to some threshold on that metric to get easy, medium, hard, etc.

How would one say this in a better Maori translation?

Ol' Musky?

Here's the web page of the main research group developing this theory at the moment:

Giulio Tononi's work is very interesting. I suggest anyone interested in sleep/consciousness research take a peek at what his group is doing.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but did you mean to reply to a different post here? I don't quite see the relevance of what you're saying to anything that the original post covered.

Not sure about the products/companies you're listing, but cult of personality must have a lot to do with the extra press. People will click on links to stories about Tesla/Elon/SolarCity without the journalists having to do as much.

They can[0]; however, this requires some further construction.

One major benefit of the sin/cos basis is that each basis function maps uniquely to a dirac delta in frequency space. This allows for power/energy symmetries between time and frequency domain representations of a signal and allows for more tenable frequency filtering, e.g. removing 60/50Hz noise or isolating a particular frequency band.

A haar wavelet or modified square wave basis may provide you with a simple orthonormal signal basis, but each wavelet has a frequency representation with infinite support in frequency space. This is (a) untenable and (b) eliminates the possibility of frequency-specific filtering. Wavelet analysis is more useful in specific cases.

I get stuck after the first few subproblems on all three. Does anyone have a PDF of the solutions? Are the solutions ever released?

I'm a little rusty on my linear algebra.

24hr service would be very expensive, but it seems that they should run the transit services until a little after the majority of bars and clubs close. It was nice here in Boston when they ran the T until a little past 2AM; they've since pulled that back to 12:30 or so. It can be kind of a pain, but Uber/Lyft are well established here.

To me, that reads as the author writing off blockchain moreso than the JPM representative.

To be fair, there are plenty of ways that blockchained systems can fail.

That 80's jump-freeze-frame was fantastic

I want to see them take this to a skate park

we weren't event allowed octopus lamps, but bears have been shown to be effective fire prevention measures.

No real thoughts about the content of the article, but shouldn't the Atlantic be able to produce a better looking plot than a stock, calibri-fonted MS Excel line-graph?

the evidence given in the article doesn't directly support this, but the author may have tried to get at the "[those that have] the necessary talent can learn any part of maths" statement you made. Without exposure to and engagement with a comprehensive education in mathematics (even just basic numeracy and arithmetic), it's incredibly difficult to teach oneself any given mathematical concept. Access to maths educational resources is ostensibly unrestricted, as (at least in the US) library cards are free of charge and the internet is readily accessible there; however, one can easily point at the many banes of lower-income households as immediate barriers to receiving any sort of education, either autodidactic in nature (i.e. sitting in a library with an geometry textbook) or through public schools.

It might be worth thinking in this "math for and from the elites" mindset when describing public aversion to the subject. Seeing it as beyond oneself or not relevant to one's life lends little towards anyone's desire to learn anything about it.

It's easy to say "why don't they just do it," with some diffuse definition of "they" in mind, but even the most basic things can be hard to get for the poor. A proper maths education is one of them, I think.

Hey, my apartment is on there!

Maybe this is just the fame going to my head, but I sure would like some semblance of a yard.

Here's some spec on the chip itself (KnuEdge seems to be a larger holdings company of sorts, the chip is more associated with subsidiary KNUPATH):

I think that it's good to pursue your interests, no matter how trivial (so long as they don't harm others, I suppose); however, it helps to work in a field paying you to do just that. Bell Labs was notorious for having a laissez-faire approach to managing its researchers.

Now we have to resort to spending company time posting on news sites and browsing wikipedia.

I doubt that PhDs from Boeing or FFRDCs are going to real strangers to "real-world research problems."

So replenishing venom supplies may result in an increased metabolic load post-extraction, but that increase may not be so much when compared to another method of hunting. For example, it's probable that the heightened metabolic load associated with a python crushing/strangling its prey is a substantial increase from the animal's ~ergodic resting state.

If anyone has numbers on this, please link them!

Also, injections are probably not going to be clean and ideal. Having a toxin that does the job o(1000)-fold with a full delivery volume will still do the job with a tiny fraction of that in the event of a partial toxin delivery. This will still result in the death of the prey with a single, albeit flawed, attack.

that + chill = more sex?

also, what can be done with the hot water coming out of the system?

QWERTY was laid out (at least partially) with the intent of preventing typewriter jams and increasing productivity. This was done by placing commonly paired letters far apart from one another; maybe this was also taken into account when designing each other language's keyboard. Letter pairs will differ, presumably, so the important keys to separate will change from language to language.

That's my intuition, anyways.

"-ow" implies "Poland was here?"

more completely, it's E^2 = (m c^2)^2 + (p c)^2 where m is the rest mass of the particle and p is the current momentum. It's a nice triangle relationship.

As for the interpretation thereof, you're going to need someone else.

I guess that Wu Tang album really spoke to him

It's not the content of the book that this person is talking about, but rather their disdain for some constructed "people" for not reading. Not sure where the ire is coming from, but it's more of a "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole" comment.

But, here I am writing this and here you are reading it.
