In the same vein, Asimov in 1956: Baley shrugged. He would never teach himself to avoid asking useless questions. The robots knew. Period. It occurred to him that, to handle robots with true efficiency, one must needs be expert, a sort of r

You come off as snarky, but I kind of agree. We tried this first. It turns out digital collaborative calendars are pretty great for us in general, there is no chance in hell I could keep the analog one up to date, so it was definitely worth

Second this. I ended up building a nice charging station right near the entrance. It has storage for keys, wallet, and other things to grab when heading out. It has an abundance of wired and wireless chargers for all devices. Then I got a d

I met Keats through Dan Simmons - Hyperion. It's one of those books that hasn't quite left my mind despite finishing it some time ago.

“Hard” meaning specifically how many lawyer/HR hours, how long are the timelines, and are there other significant risks?

Are there good ways for US companies to host international grad students in their internship programs? How hard is it for them? Specifically I had a conversation with a few administrators at universities in Sweden and this question came up

I’d be interested in your thoughts on the case where the f_i are optimizable: f_i(t) = K(t, z_i), i=1..m << N. Like the representer thm but much fewer terms than you have data points to fit. The points z are usually called inducing p

This seems like a young talent that we’ll see more of. I like your to the point writing style and obvious passion for mathematical clarity. Keep it up and best wishes for your phd studies.

“in order to settle any lingering unease about using such tools in physics” spoken like a true mathematician :D I enjoyed the post a lot (at least the parts that didn’t pass right over my head). But I never met a physicist with lingering un

I use a split keyboard with custom layers and find it fine to use a normal keyboard such as when on the laptop directly. They seem to activate different modes in my brain somehow. I have much bigger problems switching between dvorak and qwe

Learn to communicate efficiently and directly in writing. I personally like McCaskill's handbook from NASA Langley because it's focused on practical matters: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/1990001739

Agreed. Moreover, the physical size of the device will grow exponentially with problem size, so manufacturing will be impractical. The device is small only for simple instances of the SSP. But for those instances you could simulate the devi

I used tuplespaces to implement a poor man's distributed computing for Matlab back in 2009 or so. It would simply put Matlab code and parameters in a tuple, a worker would pick it up, compute, and put the results back. Used it to distr
