I do not believe that an actin-based system for parallel computation could ever be more energy efficient than ceramic hardware. It might give off less waste heat than your standard desktop PC; but that is not a valid comparison when you con

I just learned about Math 55 and would trade plenty to teach that course. The problem here is that Mochizuki uses too many German Nazi references. Those people had no academic integrity whatsoever; and their works are exclusively stolen, th

The appeal to ego is an important part of clickbait. Sociological approaches are the most effective measure in societies where the incidence of cancer is low. Ironically, people who find out that cancer is their personal problem are those

When you translate "Bad Luck" or 'Unlucky" into Confucian-era Chinese, the term is respectively equivocal to poverty or impoverished. "Random mutation" is vaguely technical enough to have the same connotation

I read the headline and wondered: "Since when is 'Bad Luck' anything other than a euphemism for the physiological stress which is symptomatic of poverty?" Clever science journalists note that nearly everything outside of

How well do you understand the term "homomorphism"? Search engines are the most common example, in general.

I want to specify that and say there is no known quantum device which can successfully break lattice-based cryptosystems. Even if there was such a machine, the number of people who could write code for it is less than or equal to ten.

The best way to articulate that criticism is to quote me (or at least paraphrase Daniel Lidar) and say: "We have quantum information processing, but no computers as of yet." And, that which we already have is so-darned-expensive;

The efficiency of application to long algorithms and large datasets is a function of available computing power. Certain problems in coding theory can be reduced to homomorphic calculation, but it takes petabytes of data to represent the so

I did not have enough faith restored in order to continue using this website; I just think of it as redundant. The karmic counters here seem susceptible to fraudulence and malicious groupthink. The most chilling effect on free thought and

One should only moderate in that manner when and where ad hominem attacks commence.

Why do you allow insults but scorn constructive criticism?

I am concerned about how this type of misbehavior could be moderated in the future. Sometimes posting on internet forums reminds me too much of Blade Runner. Then, anonbanker chimed in and the scene started to feel more like this song: ht

If you had not written to me in a malicious manner, then I would not be making jokes at your expense. I am using my sense of humor to prove my humanity, because your pejoratives are terribly mean-spirited trolling.

Information already has a precise, functional definition in the context of mathematics, machine learning, and AI. It is the number of bits necessary to encode a message, and that is the most essential aspect of coding theory. I would sugg
