It's less sustainable than renewables, but fills a practical requirement for peaker style powerplants (which fill sudden demand) without resorting to coal/oil/gas, which are consid…

Most likely it'd be burned in a bioenergy powerstation. Drax in the UK [1] is a quite good case study for this (assuming they get it all up and running), though they're not using a…

Ironically, "Marxist" is also a classic motte-and-bailey word.

'56 is too early, given how much of east Africa was under British colonial control into the 60s, and how much of S/E Asia was still looking for independence. It's likely the popula…

There's quite a lot of other constraints too. Lots of goods aren't allowed to sit side-by-side, for example, anything explosive goods cannot sit within n containers of hazardous ch…

I'm not sure if this is concrete fact, or just a theory, but you can continue the line up Norway's western coast too. Then in the other direction, the line was broken, but restarts…

That's a fair summary of why the research is happening. Thanks.

The paper discusses this, and the approach taken in the paper implements a number-flip stage, so numbers are formatted with their least significant figure first.

Since models are very good at writing very short computer programs, and computer programs are very good at mathematical calculations, would it not be considerably more efficient to…

>deductive reasoning is just drawing specific conclusion from general patterns. something I would argue this models can do That the models can't see a corpus of 1-5 digit addition …

I think these examples still loosely fits the author's argument: > There are some cases where big data is very useful. The number of situations where it is useful is limited Even t…

This is a quite good allegory for the way AI is currently discussed (perhaps the outcome will be different this time round). Particularly the scary slide[1] with the up-and-to-the-…

This was the big one for me too. The juxtaposed healthy versus unhealthy lungs resemble an uncooked chicken versus a roast chicken which was left in the oven for 30 minutes more th…

Hosting costs are £3m, but total expenditure is $160m - which obviously isn't covered by the interest on $250m.

The challenge in the UK at the moment is connecting willing high net worth individuals with entrepreneurs. Even with the tax incentives, and the relatively good incubator-ish organ…

The UK has an age-based advantage in this metric. Oxford & Cambridge are nearly 1,000 years old. Once you take that into account, the stat becomes "of the top 8 universities (ex. O…

IPO announcements need to come from approved/authoritative organisations. This one is distributed by the UK's authoritative organisation - RNS news. In the other territories, IPO a…

While he'll be giving up a lot of wealth, it's unlikely that any meaningful NDA will be applied here. Maybe for products, but definitely not for their research. There's very few pe…

At some point in the future, economics textbooks will teach about "the programmer ouroboros". A group of high-skilled people who existed between ~1960-2040, whose collaborative and…
