You misunderstand the objective this is not to make a right-wing wiki. But a neutral wiki. If Wikipedia was called "liberalopedia", not many people would use it either. And to thei…

[flagged]

It's not that easy. There's bureaucracy that makes this nearly impossible. Wikipedia sources include liberal news media (e.g. CNN) but blacklist others (Fox News). So it is highly …

Agree that this is a problem (if the programmer is not careful). But serious question, why even bother with this one fix? The only reason for the fix is so to make it more difficul…

Yes, that looked like the relationship between number of pirate ships and global warming to me.

I think you did the right thing posting this. If I were in Facebook, I'd like to learn about this.

I have always found the connection curious. In video games, for example, you do exactly this - not calculate something unless it is being observed. Who is to say the quantum effect…

In both cases you'd need to know some properties of the distribution to get a random bitstream. Which pixel would you be looking at? Below what threshold would you call it a 0 rath…

The only reason I use Windows is that still most tripple A games need DirectX to run.

Here is something that never took off. And never will despite the popularity of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrtANPtnhyg The difference? Selfie stick does exactly wh…

The article tends to imply P-value should not be used at all, rather than misused. P-value definitely means something. For example, if the p-value is 1e-10 (which is often possible…

Take X = all continuous well behaved 1-1 mapping f from [0,1] to R^3, with f(0)=f(1). A knot is an equivalence class of such functions, equivalence defined as given two functions f…

If I knew Russian, I would translate that into the English Wikipedia page.

I actually found it disappointing, compared to some other similar Disney material I've seen earlier. It is perhaps too simple. Certain things are so grossly oversimplified, they ar…

Shoot a ray from the camera to an object. Then 'connect' it to all light sources, by measuring the change in angle, and properties of the surface. And add up. If the surface is ref…

An API would do the job just fine.

WinPython did the same for me when I was a newbie. Still use it.

Yep this is hidden value theorem. I think either the author messed up the concept badly, or what is more likely, the proponent of this 'QBism' doesn't get it. He appears to think s…

Very nice. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good rain in video game? The genre - racing, shooter, RPG, or even a demoscene - I don't mind, I just want good rains and thunders…

Because floor is a discontinuous function. But you are right, what I meant is there is no way to define 0^0 maintaining continuity of the power function. Why is this important? Bec…

Defining 0^0=1 has issues. Example: a(n)=1/exp(n), b(n)=1/n. Then both a and b converge to 0, but a^b is always exp(-1) (and hence does not converge to 1).

Also, the random numbers generally interact like 2-dimensional vectors when not observed, and in a different way, like probabilities between 0 to 1, the moment they are observed.

Yes - I did read. What I meant is that based on the arguments I gave, I do not believe the other logic to be sound.

In that scenario, the predictor will always "predict" that you will take both boxes. The lack of information of box B, is exactly what makes the other case different. Then you need…

Not sure why it is a paradox - assuming the predictor is superintelligent, you don't try to fool it. By definition its intelligence can predict what you will do in the very last mo…
