This sounds like a modern version of the [Bible Code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code ] in a different medium.

Airship design has advanced since the Hindenburg. Notably, they don't use hydrogen anymore.

It's not a problem of reflectivity, it's a problem of resolution. In order to detect something distinctly from other things (i.e. resolve that thing), you must be able to distinguish its reflected energy from that of other things

In practice, the difference between pulsed radar and continuous wave radar is a continuum rather than a dichotomy. Historically, FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) had a high duty cycle (though not 100%, the ramp generators need fi

This is true for some earlier lofi radars, but as driver assistance and self-driving have developed, so have the requirements and capabilities of the radar systems. Newer systems generally have shorter PRIs for higher doppler bandwidth, an

I agree that you can't know what is "real" without looking at our universe from outside it, but that, in and of itself, doesn't imply that every model must be flawed, in the sense that its predictions must not be 100% co

I find laying of blame to be the most egregious waste of time, for work as well as personal issues. People who insist on it are, by and large, not people you want to spend time or money with.

I was confused by that terminology at first, too, but it appears their product has an "offer" phase where the meeting organizer suggests multiple times, and a "book" phase in which the invitees accept the meeting and it&

I can't decide whether I'm relieved or disappointed that you didn't take advantage of the fantastic rick-rolling opportunity.

Aliasing makes more sense (to me, anyway) if you think about the spectrum of complex signals, in which signals of real samples are modeled as the sum of positive and negative frequencies. In the sampling operation, all sinusoids are shifted

From an information theoretic perspective (which is the perspective Nyquist was originally coming from, though it didn't yet have that name), you don't need to mix the signal down. Assuming it is truly band-limited, you can sampl

I'm not necessarily arguing against you, but "problematic" is too generic a term to be useful. Genocide is "problematic". Having to run to the bathroom every 5 minutes to blow my runny nose is "problematic&qu

OP argues that branches aren’t “just refs”, they’re a sequence of commits. I’d argue that a ref _is_ a sequence of commits. (Or, to be pedantic, it uniquely identifies a sequence of commits.)

So would it be fair to say that you're in the half that believes in the misleading?

Apologies if you consider this pedantic, but I prefer to phrase it in terms of the wavefunctions in position and momentum, rather than position and momentum, unadorned: At a quantum-mechanical level, the wavefunction in the position domain

Another way to phrase my response to #1 above is that sinusoids are the natural modes of many systems. That is, you put a sinusoid in, and you get a sinusoid of the same frequency out. It may change in amplitude and/or phase, but it

There are a couple of incorrect assertions near the beginning that should be addressed: 1. "That is, sound waves are not made out of sines as real-word phenomena." Sinusoids are the solutions to the harmonic oscillator differentia

That expression leads to something that isn't a probability. Try 1-(1-p_tumor_cell)^(V_body/V_cell).

The issue is that many don't know they're donating to a charity, regardless of alignment. The popups make it sound like donations go to the running of Wikipedia as a web service, not to political activism.

Yes, this quantity is the relative phase of the harmonics, although the human ear is generally considered to be insensitive to phase.

I'm really curious what this means in the larger context: does it refute the fundamental evidence that Norsemen reached the New World before Colombus, or is there enough other evidence that this is no big deal?

Precision is P(T|R), where R is the event that a thing is reported, and T is the event that the thing is true. By Bayes' rule, P(T|R) = P(T)/(1+Pfa/Pd). So in terms of the traditional statistics Pd and Pfa, it is proportiona

I've never understood why ML folks insist on using precision, which depends on the base rate. Why do they not use probability of false alarm as in traditional detection theory?

That's why you save the truth about the brown M&Ms for your autobiography.
