    Undoubtedly very similar if not identical to what other social media platforms do. For all these apps, there should be explicit big banner opt-in prompts with a default of opt-out …

    My experiences with ROS have mostly been klunky. The documentation is really sub par, the Python portions completely highjack the logging module, and (if my memory serves me) the m…

    Thanks for sharing! The dot product example gave me pause because map2 seems to be the same as zipWith. Does that exist in Ante? Without context I might have thought map2 was going…

    You might enjoy this talk [1] about weaving patterns as matrix multiplication. [1] https://thestrangeloop.com/2018/its-just-matrix-multiplicati...

    Along the same thread, genetic algorithms have been used to evaluate fair land allocation in Brazil [1], which have also historically been done by hand. I agree with another user t…

    This is very similar to Picbreeder [1], which allows you to evolve art in a very similar manner, with evolutionary algorithms. It runs on the same evolutionary algorithm behind Mar…

    you mentioned the prohibitive size of the vectorizations of documents -- what role, if any, have matrix/tensor decompositions or tensor networks played in helping the search commun…

    I've asked myself the same. I think of it this way: we can imagine that, in the set of all possible solutions to a particular problem, a subset of those are too hard for humans bec…
