Crazy brute force idea for analyzing a neural net, from someone who has little experience with neural nets: Graph the response of the neural network, over the range of the stimuli that you care about. This is going to be a ridiculously huge

So, why don't we have these restrictions in Canada, Japan or Europe? Many countries have advanced aerospace programs. The only reason that I can see for those export regulations to exist, is because eliminating them would require effor

Is anyone here able to compare this FUN3D CFD solver with open source CFD software, such as PyFR, Fluidity or OpenFOAM? In particular, has anyone done any benchmark comparisons? I'm wondering if maybe NASA would be better off over the

I don't think a 0.1g probe would make it through an atmosphere at any speed. The targets I had in mind, were moons, rings, asteroids, much like Deep Impact; I used the term "planet" as a catch-all. Nevertheless, your point st

IANAS, but does this mean that a set of raw data loses value, as more information is extracted from it? If I use your old raw data to validate my hypothesis, does that somehow also weaken the statistical evidence for your hypothesis? I rea

Perhaps, the sail could modulate the reflected beam? That way, all of the heavy communications gear can stay in our own solar system. Instead of trying to stop at the destination, you could instead send a stream of these tiny expendable pro

Yeah, but look at those joints, though. Big, loose, with lots of smoke just drifting off. Not a problem if weed is cheap, but it does mean that some compensating factor is needed to make a valid comparison.

If you are spending nearly a grand a month on it, then you might as well just grow ~4 large potted plants in your living room. They are beautiful plants, and their timed lights help to keep your own circadian rhythm steady. They also make a

Do you have a source for cannabis -> liver damage? This is the first time I have heard of it. My concern was always lung damage, but of course there are creative and delicious ways of avoiding that problem.

IMO, the "fair" part implies a set of rules that promote a more interesting playing field, rather than total war.

Looks like the parent uncovered an HN bug. I'm guessing that they posted an unbalanced asterisk, which resulted in the "reply" link being italicized, and an empty message.

It would be super cool if amateur cubesats could interface with this network. I've always wanted to run a server on orbit, where energy is free and regulations are limited to RF spectrum issues.

The licenses that you are thinking of, are all related to copyright, not patents. Patents are a completely different beast. I personally think that patents have no place in contemporary society, but that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Webpack handles sourcemaps, and one of us, gajus, has already integrated it. Prepack should be just another stage in the build pipeline. Having said that, there appears to be a sourceMaps flag in the Prepack source: https://githu

Shoutout from Canada! There are 32M of us, 88% of whom have internet. Our banks are archaic and expensive, and as a people, we have a low tolerance for that. My current bank actually believes that the telephony system is secure, compared to

Parent is right, a mix of platforms is inevitable. Might as well take advantage of the opportunities, instead of trying to preserve a monoculture. The school board could quite reasonably insist that all digital school work must be submitted

Perhaps this whole thing was just a very subtle PSA, designed to raise awareness of the dangers of using your real face as an avatar? If so, it seems to be effective, in this format.
