You are right that integer linear programming is NP-hard; but faster algorithms for continuous linear programming are also super interesting and impactful.

Continuous linear programming is also _hard_. Not in the sense of NP-hard, but in the sense of there being lots of algorithmic and engineering aspects that go into an efficient, modern LP solver. Even just the numerics are complicated enough.

(And many integer linear programming solvers are based on continuous linear programming solvers.)

Add further documentation by filing a ticket setting a deadline to get back your money, unsubscribe you and otherwise you will chargeback.

Interestingly the linked article seems to be singing praises of VistA, though it's unclear whether the author has actually used the system themselves.

Yes? We do manage to solve ILP problems in practice quite nicely.

In fact, most NP problems that you come across in practice are relatively tractable for most practical instances.

Eg for the knapsack problem you have to actually work very hard to get a hard instance in the first place.

Encounters make this far too easy. (Though it also helps that I'm from Finland.)

Path 1: When I was a kid, Raisa Gorbacheva visited our school. I didn't talk to her personally, but some people I knew did. Due to her position, I'm fairly sure she knew many people who knew Stalin.

Path 2: Because I was involved in student politics, I know some Finnish politicans and have met many more. Some of them must have met Putin, but I'm not completely sure who. Putin's grandfather Spiridon Putin was a chef for both Lenin and Stalin.

Path 3: I have mutual friends with former Finnish politician Erkki Tuomioja. His grandmother was Hella Wuolijoki, who was likely a Soviet spy, was married for a while to a personal friend of Lenin, and claimed to have met Stalin in the 1930s.
Interesting points that I wasn't aware of.

Still, in my understanding this doesn't seem to make a German victory more likely in retrospect because it wouldn't have sufficiently impacted the campaign in the East.

Yes, but it also reflects the fact that it is no longer a separate hardware line.

In the beginning (1978) was the IBM System/38, which had a custom CISC CPU architecture with 48-bit addressing (called IMPI), vaguely resembling the 360/370 mainframe instruction set, but incompatible with it, and having some rather high-level abilities like task switching in microcode (similar to hardware task switching on the 386). The System/38 had some very advanced features: single level storage, capabilities and programs compiled to byte code (which the OS then converted to the IMPI physical instruction set). However, IBM also had its System/36 "midrange" line (basically minicomputers but IBM preferred to call their business-oriented minicomputers "midrange"), which was incompatible and more of a traditional system architecture. So in 1988 IBM "unified" them by releasing the AS/400, which was basically a version 2.0 of the System/38, keeping the same basic architecture but adding a System/36 emulation subsystem so it could run most System/36 applications.

Separately, IBM had its RISC Unix RS/6000 line, which spawned POWER and PowerPC. And then in 1991, IBM came out with a new version of the AS/400 based on PowerPC instead of proprietary IMPI CISC. The fact that applications compiled to bytecode meant most applications could be ported to RISC seamlessly, since the new OS version translated the bytecode to PowerPC instructions instead of IMPI instructions. At the same time, much of the core of the OS was rewritten in C++ (having previously been in a proprietary PL/I dialect.)

But still, although RS/6000 and AS/400 now used the same CPU architecture, they were still physically different hardware. Originally, the AS/400 used its own PowerPC chips with additional instructions the RS/6000 ones lacked. Even after they unified the two lines on the same CPU models, they still had different firmware.

In 2000, there was a marketing-driven decision ("eServer") to rebrand RS/6000 to pSeries and AS/400 to iSeries. This was part of an attempt to present IBM's four distinct server platforms (mainframe, AS/400, RS/6000 and PC) as some kind of cohesive strategy (mainframe became zSeries and PC servers became xSeries).

Then, in 2006, the iSeries (formerly AS/400) and pSeries (formerly RS/6000) hardware lines were merged completely, to become IBM Power Systems. Now there was no physical difference between the hardware, it is just which OS you install on it. The IBM i (originally OS/400 and later i5/OS) operating system uses certain firmware features which AIX doesn't use – but all IBM Power Systems have that code in their firmware, it is just AIX and Linux don't call those functions. (There are now low-end Linux only machines which refuse to run AIX or IBM i, although possibly that's just a flag in the firmware license as opposed to distinct code.)
This isn't a too big to fail situation. Amazon wanted to buy iRobot. iRobot wanted the acquisition to go through. The government stepped in and blocked the acquisition on the grounds that they'd rather Amazon and iRobot remained competitors.

But what actually happens now is that iRobot lays off its core staff in a desperate attempt to avoid insolvency. The regulators could wish all they want that iRoomba stay a competitive player in this space, but businesses don't run on wishes and rainbows.
If you have a 3D capable setup Gravity is a must! Avatar and Life of Pi are also some favorites.

There’s also a few gems and lesser known films that were released on 3D Blu-Ray like Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder, which was shot in 3D but wasn’t originally released in the format because the 3D fad died by the time the it came out.

They’re hard to watch because 3D TVs were so unsuccessful. You often need a special Blu-Ray player, and I don’t know of any streaming service that supports 3D.

3D TVs were too far ahead of their time. 3D works far better on 4K than on 1080 since each eye only gets half the image, (though the 4K 3D format doesn’t exist) so it would be nice to see it make a comeback on VR. While 4K and HDR are much better I still miss the occasional 3D film.

> But it's tricky to understand and implement and it struggles with real life constraints. i.e. This whole specialty just for integers.

Integers are actually harder to deal with than rational numbers in linear programming. Many solvers can also deal with a mixed problem that has both rational and integer variables.

Monte Carlo simulations are an entirely different beast. (Though you probably mean simulated annealing? But that's close enough, I guess. Linear programming is an optimization technique. Monte Carlo by itself doesn't have anything to do with optimization.)

One problem with these other approaches is that you get some answer, but you don't know how good it is. Linear programming solvers either give you the exact answer, or otherwise they can give you a provable upper bound estimate of how far away from the optimal answer you are.
Not sure why this was downvoted and previously flagged. It's well known that Erdős took amphetamines. In fact, he once bet Ron Graham that he could quit taking them for a month. He won the bet, but he famously said the progress of mathematics was set back by a month.

I have had amazon prime account since it was released. There were many times where I was probably getting no value from it: I don't watch much TV and I stopped ordering stuff from Amazon with any regularity because it became riddled with scammy offerings and counterfeits.

I cancelled today. I don't care about the money exactly, but it was just the final insult to what has been a steady degradation in quality over the years. Moreover, it finally motivated me to cancel other subscriptions I've just been paying for no good reason for years.

Thanks amazon for getting me off my ass so I'll cancel.

If they ever make anything I want to watch I'll just buy/rent it. It's so rare, it'll definitely be cheaper than subscribing.

I can't find a link so I'll explain it...

Single high voltage transformers approach the 6-8% at full load... Not to mention the wire losses and other transformers in the system minimum 3-5). The number you quoted from the EIA is not accurate. See this Nameplate Z% (impedance aka losses) of an ABB 20MVA transformer:
https://images.app.goo.gl/hXNTWAv1xnu83znQ7
It is higher as the transformers get larger.

Correction tho... 30-40% includes the losses from generation, not just T&D. And if you keep searching the EIA quoted that at 34%.
Linear programming solvers use lots of heuristics (not entirely unlike the ones you sketched) internally.

The important thing to keep in mind is that their heuristic only speed up the amount of time spent finding the optimal solution. But you still get a prove at the end, that they actually found the optimal solution. (Or if you stop earlier, you get a provable upper bound estimate of how far you are away at worst from the optimal solution.)

Heuristics like the ones you sketched don't (easily) give you those estimates.

He made an apology video, took ownership for his actions, and said he was getting help in the form of therapy.

He was accused of groping, forcing someone to touch his genitalia, and coercing someone to have sex.

Immature people make mistakes and he owned up to them. Huge move because a lot of people can’t do that.

He is providing insights in a way we do not see from main stream media.

As long as he does not revert then he shouldn’t be shunned for his past misdeeds.

Yes. FHIR was pretty well established when I was writing the thesis, but I am very pleased to see it get more and more usage since then. Apart from interoperability the opportunities to do much better data mining from free-text medical notes with AI, are huge now. Back when patient prescription lists ot structured, so many new drug interactions were found, now there's the chance to do similar stuff from open medical records.

Patient-accessible medical systems are more common now too, which is great. EHealth got way more common. At the end of the day though, what your doctor is clicking on still sucks, which is the sad part.

Windows 10 had the same behavior. MacOS has also done this by default for years now. I don’t say this to excuse the behavior.

Congrats on the launch. I'll never forget at a previous company the CEO came to the engineering team one day to triumphantly announce "I've just signed X for $Y/m, if we give them a dedicated instance!", to which we all gasped in horror, knowing that a dedicated instance would cost at least 5x.

This is a Dodge.
The most likely candidate for the atmosphere is melted co2. Mara would have liquid oceans if the co2 ice caps were melted away. From there, a biosphere would need to be introduced for oxygen production. The main limiter on earth based animal life would be a lack of buffer gas such as nitrogen, and the excessive co2 concentrations.
