- It's a fascinating topic and i'm still trying to get my head around some of the concepts.
Have fun on your discovery journey.
- Here is a good lecture on this subject:
- Somewhat related field, compressive sensing, attempts to answer some of those questions (particularly missing data, uneven sampling and errors) using a L1 minimisation technique.
- So it's a parser implementation problem, not XSLT per se.
- >You imagine that XSLT is more secure but it’s not. It’s never been. Even pure XSLT is quite capable of Turing-complete tomfoolery, and from the beginning there were loopholes to introduce unsafe code.
Are there examples of this?
- To be honest, it seems like a waste of copper. The way he did it, might as well use stiff copper wires, or better still - prototyping boards.
- Ok, so by that definition a geodesic sphere has the Rupert property, as the sphere is an approximation made up of equilateral triangles. What if we perform isotropic subdivision on the equilateral triangles, such that each inserted point lies on the sphere, centred on each base triangle. We then subdivide each base triangle by constructing 3 new triangles around the inserted point. Thus at each iteration, geodesic sphere of N triangles is subdivided into 3*N triangles. If we continue with the subdivision, each iteration is a refinement of the geodesic sphere, and the geometric approximation gets closer to the shape of a true sphere. As N approaches infinity, the Rupert property holds true (according to the definition). What happens at infinity?
- >It would be super hard to detect though.
Would it? I would've thought there is enough dust in the solar system that it would create constant xray emissions. Even if it's faint, it would stick out like a sore thumb on super sensitive xray telescopes.
- >IMHO the actor model is great until you need to share something across processes
Incidentally that's what actors are designed for, passing data and being able to mutate their state without use of explicit synchronisation. You either copy or transfer ownership of data from one actor to the next via message passing. Actual sharing should be only done if the data in question is globally immutable.
- > I don't expect politicians to be smart. I expect them to be good listeners and be the voice for the people.
I want both. I want them to be smart -- not necessarily domain expert smart, but reasonably smart with making life changing decisions for everyone. And base those decisions on recommendations made by domain experts.
- I view touch screens, keyboards and mice as the saddle points in the usability landscape. These kinds of decides don't change much because their designs have converged to an efficient form factor, from a usability perspective. That does not mean there is nothing better, perhaps these devices sit in a false saddle point, and perhaps there is something better that has not been invented yet.
- Clever kid
- >They’re saying that a crime was committed in their country by the person and they’re asking the foreign country for cooperation in prosecuting that person.
Seems like a loophole for arbitrary criminal accusations of a people living abroad who are not affiliated with the country making the accusations. With this kind of logic, adult website operators should be extradited to some middle-eastern country for violating their sharia law online. It's wrong. Site operators living abroad should not be held accountable for not adhering to arbitrary local laws, unless they are conducting business directly in that country.
- I'm surprised they did not use a bunch of cheap sphere-ray intersection tests. It would be more accurate.
- Intel dead.
- And the bikeshedding has begun...
- malt is used in baking as well
- "Meh"
- >You might want to stop a rogue AI but you can bet there will be someone else who thinks it will make them rich, or powerful, or they just want to see the world burn.
What makes you think they will not be stopped? This one guy needs a dedicated power plant, an entire data centre, and need to source all the components and materials to build it. Again. Heavy reliance on logistics and supply chain. He can't possibly control all of those, and disrupting just a few (which would be easy) will inevitably prevent him and his AI progressing any further. At best, he'd be a mad king and his machine pet trapped in a castle, surrounded by a world that is turned against him. His days would be almost certainly numbered.
I wouldn't be surprised if this will be fixed sometime in the future.
