Can you tell us about the tech stack you used and why?

Note that you will always have this problem, because the data it is trained on has its own biases.

It is amazing how well community moderation works for Wikipedia, but it doesn't seem like the same model translates well to SO.

A summary can also be considered opinionated and a conversation starter.

Not really. For a trivial function fitting problem, a KAN will allow you to visualise the contribution of each base function into the next layer of your network. Still, these trivial shallow networks are the ones nobody needs to introspect.

If it were publicly traded, it would have a P/E of 600. I'll help you out since you don't read, a normal P/E is 20-30. To say it is not a great financial investment is unequivocal. It is effectively a write-off for the f

Imagine thinking a 0.5% return on investment is a good use of money when treasury bonds return almost 5%.

The total investment is now approx $10B, with a revenue of $ 50 million (projection). Not great. Yeah, they don't pay drivers, but their cars' hardware costs mean that they won't break even with human-driven taxis for quite s

When you have a tax bill like Alphabet's, these investments/write-offs seem less foolish.

A common equation you will find in aerodynamics texts is: Drag = 1/2 * fluid density * velocity^2 * C_d * Ref. Area It approximates the drag experienced by objects as they move within a fluid (atmosphere). You can see that drag is prop

It is alpha software but it seems like you may have employed some bad practices in your C++ projects and taking your frustration out on IWYU, which has pointed them out. Even if you don't see an immediate benefit in CI times, it may st

There is a always a happy medium. Depriving your children of regular schooling is probably a bad idea, give them the tools to think for themselves and analyse the and process information before ingesting.

AFAIK the mineral reserve bottlenecks are cobalt and manganese, not lithium!

A couple points: - Yes the efficiency of the laser is poor and modern tech is more efficient, but not enough to make it an energy producing process. The best lasers are ~50% energy efficient. - This can only be maintained for short periods

Ok. To clarify the physics, the "conservation of momentum" idea explains all of the lift, not just some of it. If you draw a bounding box around the wing and measure the momentum at either end, the lost momentum will be because of

This is true, I was referring to the net motion of the air in the wake. You are right, the wing does technically push the air forwards.

by mansoor_ 5y ago
I think you have a misunderstanding here. You are right that downwash accounts for a tiny proportion of the overall lift, in fact it only become significant close to the wing tips. Downwash (in the context of lift generating wings) refers t

I think we have turned this into a point scoring contest rather than clarifying the issue. To summarise: Any statement to the effect of "aircraft lift generation is complex" is probably wrong. It is wrong because a high-level pic
