I've done something similar for a couple tools. I tend to make them as Python servers which serve plain html/js/css with web components. I know this is a bit more complicated than just having a single html file with inline js

This sounds somewhat like a normalizing flow from a discrete space to a continuous space. I think there's a way you can rewrite your DDN layer as a normalizing flow which avoids the whole split and prune method. 1. Replace the DDN laye

No, surveys like where researchers show up to hospitals and look at the police reports for the injured cyclists. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my wording. By "survey" I was trying to point to the specific kind of research method

> I'd bet accidents are more often than not mostly their fault. That's actually not true. Most surveys I've seen show that drivers are at fault ~80% of the time.

It is possible to construct φ exactly with a straight-edge and compass. Would the approximation of 5π/6 - 1 be used because it's easier to calculate quickly?

Are you sure about that? According to Wikipedia both gypsum and calcite are used. Apparently, gypsum is used for colored chalk, and calcite is used for white chalk: > Chalk sticks are produced in white and in various colours, especially

The camera is positioned so that the side window is visible through the front windshield. I think the "black coating" you are seeing is just the interior of the van, and that the entire front windshield is usable.

They seem a lot easier than USAMO problems, or even Putnam problems. I suspect that top students nowadays could easily solve them all in a day.

I was having some difficulty figuring out how Hy actually is translated to Python (and wasn't even sure if it was compiled or interpreted). Eventually I found on Wikipedia the following: > Hy is a dialect of the Lisp programming lan

Also, a curve which gets arbitrarily close to every point in the unit square actually touches every point in the unit square. This is because (by definition) a curve is a continuous map from a compact space (the unit interval) to a Hausdo

The Hilbert curve does contain every point in the unit square. It is a limit of curves, and so can contain points even not in the intermediate constructions. This is similar to how the limit of 1/x as x -> infinity can be 0, eve

It looks simple and elegant to me, and I've only used Clojure a little before. Perhaps you're just not very experienced as a programmer in anything except mainstream languages.

I don't understand why this was downvoted. In case it's not clear: (S)he's saying to split the key into multiple shares that can be used to reconstruct the key if you have a large enough quorum. Then store each share in a dif

Do you know why introductory textbooks don't define the determinant in terms of the exterior product? This is how some "real" mathematicians I've talked to define it. It also is more intuitive (in my opinion) to define d

How do you know they didn't have other books about civil rights? Maybe they had an entire library filled with such books, but that wasn't brought up in the article.

Those blog posts are pretty bad. Just read the original paper, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.09353 . The key section is 4.1.

How fast is Goblins? I've been considering using it for a project, but I'm worried that it would be too slow. Would it, e.g., be fast enough to serve as a database?

Is this not literally a federal crime? It sounds like HP installed a backdoor on its printers to download malware that disables the printer. If it's not a crime, I think it should become one, and I don't think a terms & cond

You can also have another model "mentor" a new model you are teaching to speed up training. You don't have to start from scratch with zero knowledge. This is done a lot in what are called distillations.

Excludable = you can exclude people from benefiting from it. (E.g., Fixing global warming is not excludable while temperature control in your own house is.) Rivalrous = more people getting it leads to less for others. (E.g., Software is not

Instead of saying "wild speculation" and using a lot of charged words, it would be more helpful if you explained why you think it is wrong. This just comes across as you trying to denounce the other side as low status and looks ba

This reminds me of a paper I read a few months ago about someone training a neural network to add modulo a prime number--with the catch that there was an L1 regularization term based on Euclidean distance between neurons and the weights wer
