The thing is, for car driving you need combinatorial search combined with a good model (statistical) of the world. Research I've seen does not incorporate any kind of meaningful se…

Cyanobacteria would still use oxygen when there is no light, and other nutrients. By allowing them to burst in numbers they would easily suck it all out of the sea.

They suck out oxygen too. That's how you get ocean deadzones.

Corn and wheat. Most of nitrogen is ferilizers and cattle poop. Most of plants grown and farmland used is for cattle. I don't think farmers would care if they had nitrogen sucking …

The things is that these small things might just be noise from some confounding factors. http://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2517494 For example, here sample size is huge, USA p…

Do people really eat that much fish? I thought fish is mostly raised as fishmeal for cows. Making an even worse bioaccumulation chain.

Finding a polynomial algorithm for #P problem implies P=NP.

Damn it. I didn't know it's NP hard. I thought I would discover the generating function for the number of possible solutions for board sized N.

I don't know. It's fine for keeping tasks but seems quite slow. Just clicking on create issue takes 4 seconds. Switching between issue types takes about 1.5 seconds. This should al…

I believe `await` is sequential in the scope. `Promise.all` would be truly parallel. edit: just checked and your version is indeed parallel. Interesting.

I love how machine learning went to statistical learning and then back to machine learning. Playing is exactly the word to describe the discovery process.

This is becoming true for most of the first world. Women are more successful in educational institutions than men on average already.

Is there a way to measure healthiness of a single ingredient? I didn't find anything allowing me to label stuff as healthy or unhealthy. At least not scientific. I do not even thin…

The biggest chuck of CO2 footprint is heating and cooling. I'm pretty sure people don't want to stop using their AC. Second biggest is cars and animal agriculture. So, three most c…

Stephanie Seneff, you do know she's a huge quack? As for protein isolates: > That's why animals on soy feed need lysine supplements for normal growth. No wonder eating a mono diet …

Arctic ice has 1400Gt of carbon locked up as methane. [1] This is equivalent to 1400/10 = 140 years of human 2016 activity. [2]. Methane also has a stronger effect than CO2. If ice…

Most CO2 is indeed natural. We did increase the circulating amount by a very small margin. Large enough so that it accumulated over the years. This of course led to a feedback loop…

Questions look answerable for someone taking 2 courses in machine learning. One being the introduction.

You are worried about phytoestrogen from plants but not worried about real estrogen from female mammals like cows, chickens and other's we eat? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/…

> Nevertheless, Americans as a whole still consume very little soy protein. Based on 2003 data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, per-capita soy protein consumption is …

Well, Asia does not seem to suffer yet soy is a significant part of their caloric intake.

Wrong measure. What if men had lower concentration of sperm but higher volume of the ejaculate? Soy is known to have benefits on prostate and much of the volume of sperm comes from…

These are all just savings numbers for simplified problems, like vehicle routing problem or simple pickup & delivery problem. Points below properly define problem above: * capacita…

Pickup and delivery optimizing algorithms have been optimizing stuff in private businesses for years. What do you think what kinds of algorithm makes schedules for trashbin collect…
