I could perhaps get myself to care just the tiniest bit if the information that was supposedly stolen wasn't generated by "stealing" from everybody else. Either it is fair use to train AI models on whatever information you ca

Electric semi trucks have appeared from all major European manufacturers in the last years and I expect them to become dominant even quicker than electric cars on simple cost grounds. Electricity is cheaper than diesel and due to favorable

You can find the whole integration routine here https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi/blob/36343ab2cbc97e5081f7c811e... . It's essentially a test mock-up (not even trying partial fraction decomposition for ration

Fully agreed. I have never seen a programming language which is so badly designed as Wolfram. I really wish there was another way to access all of Mathematica's functionality with a more sane interface.

Did you really just attribute the deaths from a bombing raid on a dam during WW2 to a hydropower incident?

TeX is written in a literate programming style which is more akin to a math textbook than ordinary computer code, except with code blocks instead of equations. The actual programming language in the code blocks and the OS it runs on matters

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a good idea. But you could do it if you wanted to.

A 1 MWh battery isn't actually that big. There's electric trucks on the market right now with 600 kWh batteries sitting on the frame between the front and rear axle. That would easily fit into a basement room.

They are cheaper to run almost everywhere (depending on the cost of electricity versus gas of course). No breakthrough in battery technology needed for that.

I have never seen a conductor on a metro/subway system in Europe. Mainline trains often have one, but not always. I've ridden trains on small branch lines in Germany which were operated by a driver only.

Range is somewhere between 350 and 600 km depending on conditions. Aerodynamics, weight, weather all have an influence as well as the battery size and efficiency of the specific model of truck. The guy on the youtube channel has driven most

I'd love to see the system of mathematics where 4 times 365 comes out to one million. Maybe I can get my bank to use the same system.

Well hopefully the starter kit doesn't include a few kilograms of weapons grade plutonium.

Although that paper even made it to PRL. I guess I should have written up some similar nonsense and sent it to PRL, might have improved my career chances.

As far as I know, optimization levels higher than -O0 work fine with SpillPointers. But at least in a cursory first look I had a while ago, the optimizations made things slower overall. I guess they might lead actually to more "moving

Apart from the restriction to bytecode interpretation already mentioned, one reason for the slowness is that the sort of C with garbage collection that ECL needs is quite difficult to do in Webassembly. There is no way to scan previous stac

In lisp, macros are just ordinary functions whose input and output is an AST. So you can debug them as you would any other function, by tracing, print debugging, unit tests or even stepping through them in a debugger.

Or perhaps the republican party has developed such an astonishing anti-science attitude that hardly any reasonable scientist can support them? Imagine doing research on vaccines and hearing the soon to be secretary of health speak on that t

Coming from a country where the sort of super selective universities like Caltech don't exist, the fierce debates about equality of admissions to these sort of places never made sense to me. If Caltech, Harvard, MIT or wherever really

Thermodynamics is usually (and rightfully so) taught together with statistical physics for which quantum mechanics is essential, so the order does make sense.

The wormhole in this paper is actually in flat space. The geometry only approximates to an AdS geometry times a sphere close to the event horizons.

The main issue with the evaluation rules is that Mathematica doesn't distinguish between creating a symbolic expression and evaluating code. That is if I type f[x] and the function `f` is not defined, Mathematica will not give

Perhaps I can add a counterpoint before anybody gets too excited and spends too much money on a tool they might not enjoy. Having used Mathematica quite a bit for doing symbolic computation, my opinion on it is pretty much opposite to yours
