This article should be of interest to this crowd. "Can a biologist fix a radio?—Or, what I learned while studying apoptosis - Yuri Lazebnik" https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108(02)0013...

These laws mean zilch - the state of Karnataka, which hosts Bengaluru, where demagogues routinely raise Xenophobia based on language, has exactly 1-school that teaches Science/Mathematics at the high-school level (PUC, 11/12th) in

EU laws get written in 24 languages - and the CJEU (the equivalent of SC) doesn't give precedence to any one "master" language. These arguments for a "master-language" (let alone a foreign one), by both Hindi/T

I agree with the sentiment - however, even after independence, India has been ruled by the same Anglophone/phile elite with nearly the same set of laws/policies/ interests. Even the Indian constitution comes in large part fro

Between METI, Toyota & others, they appear to have spent > $40B over multiple decades. It's a bit silly to downplay their investment based on the sales numbers of Toyota Mirai.

Au contraire - LLMs are quite bad at large scale pattern fidelity. They'll even forget key details and constraints unless told over and over again. That's why AI-written code has the quality of a patch-on-patch-on-patch.

The article has the "rough" idea correct - how could it not be- but is quite stupid in a sort of cliched Chrisitian-missionary / colonialism sort of way. It talks about how Chinese society was completely destroyed and instant

The article seems sparse on details. Would this imply an architecture similar to what Lisp-Machines once had ? That'd be a great addition IMO, and would speed up a lot of dynamic-ish languages without resorting to unsafe-routes for spe

This discovery is only of interest because the Iron-Age, as per standard-theory, started around 1200 BC. in the Caucuses/Anatolia or the near-East - which fits with another theory which claims that this allowed the "Aryans" t

Note: there have been actual Iron-working sites discovered in India that are older than this, dated to 1600 BC [0]. A lot of this has been ignored (just like the Painted-Grey ware continuity from IVC), partly I imagine, because it calls int

The set of computable numbers is actually countable (see ref. linked above). It has to be by definition because the set of finite computer-programs is itself countable. This is the whole point of the un-reality of "real" numbers:

Theory of Computation wasn't around when all this "exciting" stuff was developed in Mathematics. Given their non-constructive nature "real" numbers are unsurprisingly totally incompatible with computation. Chaitin h

This doesn't work the moment the module you're importing something imports something else that you've changed. Worse, you can't redine methods, because the classes get "redefined". This means that you need to f

Sadly, the code in this tutorial doesn't work anymore due to upstream changes in FFmpeg. There are quite a few attempts at keeping Dranger's tutorial up to date, but I found the repo below to be one of the better ones. https:&#x2

Julia is great no doubt. However, all the additional complexity is not entirely 'free'. For instance, Julia has a performant generational GC compared to Python's simple (but slow) refcount GC. This has the effect of not freei
