quantum theory is a hypothesis. perhaps it's the best one so far for what the brain is made from. but it's truth is only as demonstrable as this: it's not yet been falsified.

if you want to build a reliable system, one useful thing to do is use equipment from multiple vendors. sure it's inconvenient, but by doing this you can often de-correlate failures. especially if you want to improve someone else's reliabili

perhaps you'd like to use -nativecss as the prefix rather than -ios? you'd hope styles would be portable across platforms?

the particular property of the stable distribution, i was thinking of, is "closure under convolution" which is the above marginalisation (i believe?). infinite divisibility is (yet another) property of gaussians!

i wonder if you are thinking of another monoid property of a gaussian? suppose we have: x ~ N(0,1) y|x ~ N(x, 1) then we have: y ~ N(0, 2) i.e., gaussians are closed under marginalization. however, i believe gaussians are

all exponential family distributions may be written in a form that depends upon a set of fixed dimension sufficient statistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_family these sufficient statistics have the additive form described

these torrent sites seem to have a business model that makes them money, even a profit. what prevents larger media companies from adopting this proven(?) business model?

the bsd license says: "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, .... in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution." much of open source is redistributed at a cost, "(apparently)

i'm a bit confused: the bsd license allows you to re-sell someone else's source, binaries, images, etc for a profit. you just have to include the copyright notice. is that what you're sending the dmca notice about? because you couldn't find

you can't really account for academic time on a hours-per-week basis. there's too much variety. as others have noted, it's a modal way of working. one week it's this, next month it's this, then maybe there's a paper deadline so you have to

i think you might have misunderstood what i wrote. i didn't say artists make more money from spotify/last.fm. i said they got a higher proportion of what was paid. either way, it sounds like there are just anecdotes on both sides, so there'

i think it can be pretty tricky to get real intuition without having the maths around. for example: exactly what assumptions do these methods make about the kinds of noise in the data? this can make a large difference in practice.

by dododo 14y ago
interestingly, with spotify and last.fm, artists get a higher proportion of the total money (15.3% and 15.8%, respectively) than they do with amazon/itunes (14.5%). it's surprising to me that it's so low for the artist in these cases.

it's a matter of how much you put into the type system: add :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer add x y = x * y in any moderately complicated code, you need to test. types only go so far.

that doesn't sound like such a great innovation from an environmental point of view. nor a sustainable use of resources. is it easy to re-use parts from these failed devices?

there is not a normative way to discriminate between those two predictions. it comes down to what kind of loss you incur for making an incorrect prediction. for mean, it's a squared loss (which penalizes you for being wrong in the tails mor

if it is a power law in the sense that a few companies return a lot, whilst most return a little, how does that make the mean irrelevant? the mean of a power law of this form is more skewed by the few companies returning a lot than it is by

if you're talking about this example: const uint16 max_pressure = 100; enum Switch_position {up, down}; ``Switch_position'' is not the name of a variable, but an enum type.

i wonder if they are aggregating the results using the mean or the median? with the mean, a single slow router/path can change the reported number completely, whilst with the median does not exhibit this problem as it is a more robust estim

here's another "fun" grep locale oddity: $ echo HI | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '^[a-z]' HI $ echo HI | LANG=C grep '^[a-z]' $ apparently en_{GB,US}.utf8 orders a-z like aAbBcC..zZ. $ echo ZI | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '^[a-z]'

what about fusing more than one lens? isn't the issue with resolution essentially one of variance, so by using a second, independent lens, one should be able to improve resolution by a factor of two or sqrt(two)? (not that it's so simple;

this! the feature set of g+ is bizarre: huddles? hangouts? no use for it. games? no use for it; plenty of alternatives. photos? nothing new; plenty of alternatives. sparks? very low signal to noise ratio, poorly integrated. circles are nice

for linear programming there are several well known polynomial time algorithms (some interior point methods: ellipsoid, projective, etc)--the problem itself is by no means in EXP or NP. for worst case complexities it's often just a small re
