> 1) It takes just ONE civilization not wiping itself out to colonize the galaxy; furthermore, colonizing the galaxy is a great insurance policy against extinction

Why? See my other post. You provide no evidence for this claim. We currently have no plans to colonize the galaxy so why would other "advanced" civilization get this crazy idea? Birth control was invented in the 60s already.
You can be OK with it and still seek answers.
Good article, but it misses plenty.

One has been marketing that damages its own brand, particularly the "Atom" phenomenon. Intel had such an obsession with phones that it just had to make x86 processors that were too weak for phones, never mind anything else, full of bugs, etc.

It might be a classic case of "boiled frog" because few have realized that ever since Intel switched to PCIe, Intel chips have been starved for PCIe lanes. There has been no point to SLI in a consumer configuration because there just is not enough I/O bandwidth to support two graphics cards. In fact, Intel hopes you will settle on "integrated graphics" (the same as on a phone) so you won't have a reason to buy a computer instead of a phone.

Optane is a story like 10 nm. Just add tone-deaf marketing that makes a potentially revolutionary product seem like nothing.

Probably the thing that has hurt the PC industry the most is the slow transition to SSD. Given a choice to a brand new computer that has an i7 chip and an HDD which will show you a spinning cursor most of the time, or an eight year old computer with a new SSD which can boot before you get old, the choice is obvious.

If Intel had said something like "an i5 chip has to come with an SSD" or if Microsoft had required SSDs for the Windows 8 launch people would be like "Wow this is much better than what I had before." As it is, Intel has mandated a Meh experience for a long time and the tech press has let them get away with it. (It's murdered the tech press too since now all Tom's Hardware talks about is RGB lighted fans and the really cool monitors that might get released someday...)

You don’t have to exercise.

I tried that last year and lost... 1kg over the course of three months on a decent calorie deficit(or so I thought). Gained that much - and more - in two weeks or so during Christmas. Granted I didn't move at all, because I was working remotely and had no incentive to go out.

I guess when you're obese your diaphragm working to keep you oxygenated is enough "exercise", so that may be sound advice if you're on that end of the scale.

I know my last year's approach led me to lose a significant amount of muscle mass, so I recommend some light exercise - yoga works well because you only need 2m x 2m of real estate, a mat and thirty minutes of your time daily. At this rate you're well within the recommended amount of physical activity.

But really, aren't they from non-discrete (continuous?) mathematics? How are they useful for computer science? Like, sure we have approximations of them on computers (floats, rationals) but aren't they mostly used for those pesky boring real-world-ish calculations? Isn't CS mostly about integers?

> People often promote energy restriction without mentioning the key fact - you will be hungry.

People won’t simply omit that fact. They’ll often actively argue that it’s untrue, that “you shouldn’t be hungry” when losing weight. This is only true if you simply don’t ever experience hunger normally (in which case you probably don’t need to lose weight).

Losing weight is hard. It doesn’t become easy because we pretend it is.
Command and Control (by Eric Schlosser) is a great book if you're interested in the history of US nuclear weapons.

According to the author, most warheads in the US arsenal are (or were) equipped with single-use thermal batteries that are activated during the firing sequence.

Thermal batteries were originally developed by German scientists, but the concept was taken further in the 1950s when the US armed forces were looking for a more reliable and less maintenance intensive power source for their nuclear weapons once fired.

As a front-end developer, accessibility has always been a way for me to describe to non-technical people what I actually do for a living.

Saying: "I build web applications" means nothing to them, and saying "I create website" makes you look like a wizard doing some black magic.

But saying "my job is to make websites accessible to everyone: we are used to use a screen and a mouse, but what if you are blind or deaf? Those people should not be allowed to go on any website? My role is to make those people able to browse the web, as you and me" give them an example of what kind of problems you actually solve as a web developer.

Rozanne Gold made something of a career out of cookbooks using short, simple ingredient lists and mostly easy prep. I don't care as much any longer as I mostly work from home, but my work night preference--as opposed to slow cookers--has always tended toward the fast, easy saute. Especially with so many pre-prepped vegetables etc. in the grocery store these days, it seems like the best option for my tastes.

You agree that equality of opportunity is the only sort of equality we can hope to provide, and then spend the rest of your post rambling on about equality of outcomes.

I have never in my life been denied an opportunity because of my background. No school ever considered my background before admitting me. No employer ever considered my upbringing before offering me a job.

Again, unless you forcefully redistribute all material resources evenly (which as I’ve already said, doesn’t at all take into account natural endowments), then you’re never going to have everybody existing in an equal set of circumstances.

Inequality of outcomes will always and should always exist. In fact it’s not fair for inequality of outcomes to not exist, as people will never all produce equal value to society.

Furthermore, I went to a well funded public school. It was full of delinquents, but I made the most of my education, which has since served me very well. This was only possible because I took responsibility for myself, which no matter how much you deny it, is exactly what you are advocating against. I don’t know where you’re from, but I live in a society that provides equal protection under the law, and doesn’t allow people to discriminate based upon socioeconomic status. Sure, wealthy people will be able to invest more money into developing themselves, but I have been granted the opportunity to compete with those people on equal terms all my life, and I’ve more often than not come out ahead.

You haven’t substantiated your argument that equality of opportunity doesn’t exist in any way, and you continue to advocate for people to focus on the unfairness of their circumstances, rather than what they can do about it. In life all you can do is play the cards your dealt, shaking your fist at the sky will get you exactly nowhere.
>or so I thought

That would be your issue. If you're eating a good bit below your maintenance level you'll lose weight. Period. You were not. You likely overestimated maintenance else you simply ate more than you tracked.

Well the beauty of the universe is that cannot be used as a good reason.

If civilizations are common then there are just as many less advanced civilization than us than they are more.
Heck if technological progression leads to the downfall of a species than by default everyone we should be seeing is around our own level of development if not lower.

If intelligent life is an anomaly then it can be very well be that in the life span of an existing civilization they would be the only intelligent one in the galaxy or even beyond that and they would simply die out even 1M years is a blink of an eye for universal time scale.

And lastly regardless of what the civilization is today if they are on the other side of the galaxy we see a 100,000 year snapshot if they are in say another galaxy even a close one like the Andromeda galaxy we see them as they were 2.5M years ago.

Tight-beam, tachyon transmission, quantum entanglement with retro-causality suspension or w/e they might be using if they are so advanced beyond us that we look like anthills to them is fine but at some point they were just as advanced as we are and less so that's the noise that we should be hearing and we aren't.
I'm always amazed at the people who can drop a hundred lbs in a year. "I just changed my diet to 1500 calories and bam, the weight fell off."

Not that it isn't that simple, because it is. But, because for most people who are 100lbs overweight, they have a very unhealthy relationship with food. They stress eat, binge eat, binge drink, purge...

I guess it's kind of like the people who can just all of a sudden quit smoking, cold-turkey one day. Maybe they weren't addicted to nicotine in the first place?
The LSTM idea is good, but the ordering problem stems from the LSTM assumption that the input is in some way ordered (i.e. words in a text, or frames in a video).

I would instead try separate inputs for each image, followed by an aggregation layer. I think a maximum-pooling approach makes most sense for most of the labels: there seem to be some photos for each restaurant providing all the information regarding certain labels. When there are five interior images, and one showing a patio, you want the latter to determine the label "outdoor dining".

For other characteristics, such as "elegant" (I'm making up these labels because I read the post yesterday and don't remember the specifics) average pooling might be a better fit.

In fact, a simple concatenation might work well, allowing the model to learn these things on its own. With differing numbers of images per restaurant that wouldn't work, though. Instead, one might try both MAX and AVG pooling, followed by concatenation. Or, if available, play around with other types of averaging, such as trimming outliers.

On another point: I was slightly put off by the criticism of the data structure. That structure follows directly from the problem being solved and isn't some oversight making life more complicated than necessary. To work with such data, I tend to throw it into a rails application and export whatever format I need (although I'd use a python solution if I were more familiar with them).

A signal with compressed data does not look like white noise. It looks like a sine or cosine wave that is around a well defined frequency, and the intensity/phase/frequency changes from time to time. The hops may look random, but the carrier signal is easy to spot.

If they use frequency hoping, the changes in the frequency are even more regular. It's more difficult to measure the exact signal, but all the hops are inside an interval.

As someone who lost over 100 pounds (6"2 and from 279 to 169 pounds), I can honestly say that loosing weight is way easier than it seems, provided you have a good work-life balance.

I lost the first 45 pounds in 3 weeks by doing the following daily routine:

- 4 hours of swimming

- 1.5 hours of weights lifting

- 3 hours of swimming

- 2 hours of table tennis

1 BIG lunch, no other meal for the day, TONS of water.

Apps, books and all are completely overrated. Just be motivated and listen to your body, stop exercise when you reach your limit, rest, repeat..

The other 55+ pounds were lost over 2 years and a half without much exercise, just find the arrangement of fruits, lightweight cheese and vegetables + tuna that you love and eat it as often as possible.
This is one of those inconvenient truths that no one likes talking about. Keto works, ultimately, because you're consuming fewer calories than you're burning. Low carb works, ultimately, because you're consuming fewer calories than you're burning. Exercising more works, ultimately, because you're consuming fewer calories than you're burning. Counting calories works, ultimately, because you're consuming fewer calories than you're burning.

Yes people will jump in and say "but but but but macros" and "but but but ketosis" but ultimately it's calories in < calories out.

Much like programming, everything eventually gets translated to machine code. Putting Assembly on that, and C on that, and then using Python just makes programming easier. But it doesn't change the fact that ultimately, it's all machine code. The Atkins diet is just syntactic sugar on top of the machine code of your body.

That's not to say it's a useless abstraction... there are plenty of programmers who wouldn't be doing the job, and plenty of jobs that wouldn't get done, if everyone had to program in machine code. Making it more accessible is a good thing, as long as you understand that Python ultimately becomes machine code, and your diet plan ultimately becomes calories in < calories out.
I agree it's not that sensitive...but I guess that's because I'm biased and released all my own data willingly :)
This is probably an obvious statement, but if you write such a reference, then there will be one more reference, and someone else will have to write a new, more comprehensive reference based on all the existing ones, plus the new one you wrote. And so, on it goes.

To answer the question more seriously, there are a number of reasons for this: 1) terminology and notation changes over time, 2) there is not enough space in a standard textbook to include all material on any given subject in mathematics, even at an undergraduate level 3) there have been such standard textbook projects, e.g. the Bourbaki textbooks, but in order to cover everything in complete generality, they had to work at such a high level that the material is all but useless to a beginning student (many French professors may disagree with me on this point). 4) It is not uncommon for textbooks to start with different assumptions, to target the material for certain research applications, to give a different perspective on the material, to promote a favourite notation, to give new proofs or even new theorems, in lecture notes written by professors.

What this doesn't answer however, is why there is such a dearth of technological solutions to the problem of disseminating the 40 odd thousand pages of undergraduate mathematics taught around the world today. There are lots of videos at a very superficial level, very few in depth, and piles and piles of books and pdfs. There are virtually zero really well-produced, animated, scripted videos that cover mathematics in great depth.

The only reason I can come up with for not having such material is lack of time. Academics, especially professors, who would have to write and edit such material, would have to invest so much time, they would not have time to have families, or do research.
Nobody teaches the same topic in the exactly the same way.

There is, for one, far more material in any given subject than an introductory course or textbook can (or should) cover, so the author/instructor must choose what to include.

Plus, the order of presentation matters. For example, here are two standard ways of introducing the real numbers:

#1 (Dedekind cut). Picture a square of side length 1. The length of the diagonal, √2, cannot be represented by a ratio of integers, so we need a new number system to represent it. These numbers "in between" rational numbers are called irrational numbers, and together they form the real numbers.

#2 (Cauchy completion). Non-repeating decimals, such as π ≈ 3.141592, cannot be represented by a ratio of integers. We call such decimal numbers irrational numbers. Any number representable by a (finite or infinite) decimal is called a real number.

You can deduce #2 from #1, and vice versa. It's entirely up to the author/instructor to decide which one to start with.

Lastly, there is always a better way to explain the same material.
My guess is editor bias, the people who edit Wikipedia are in their 20s and 30s so they put the games they grew up with. As younger people begin to edit the page, they'll do the same.

1. If the chance for a huge colony to go extinct, raising the coefficient to galactic scale does not change the relative probability significantly unless you add constraints to the population dynamics. Basically you could get the same numbers for people in a colony and colonies in a galaxy. "only ONE" kinda obscures the fact that this one would be a mighty huge one.

2. On straight lines perhaps with ages long acceleration. Planning such a course might well take more than nuclear reactor, no?

I definitely need to lose some weight myself. Unfortunately I can never stick with anything. Including this simple method. I have done MyFitnessPal for weeks, and then fall out of the habit. Just never manage to stick with it, and not sure how to keep myself motivated for it.

Of course its always hard, half the time I eat at the salad bar at work, and I may not be able to estimate the amounts right. I always worry about underestimating how much I ate. I have even considered eating pre-packaged meals, but those always leave me hungry, and seem like a less healthy sodium filled alternative.

Not sure what my point is, but I guess I am wondering if anyone has managed to keep themselves motivated after years of failing to stay motivated? And if so, how?
