what if you move the microphones and speakers at varying but precise speeds so that doppler shift can be used to shift frequencies? you could play a tone on the speaker, shift the …

In some situations the US has gone to war with countries who not long after are close allies. Germany comes to mind, but there are others. In other cases the situation you describe…

As someone who has been following deep learning for quite some time as well, Bengio and Hinton would be some of the first people I think of in this field. Just search Google for "g…

Not only this but my Chromebook wasn't upgradable even though the parts weren't soldered in. I tried upgrading the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module but it wouldn't grab the latest drivers so…

Its obvious why it is set up this way. That said, it can be hard to see other people who make the same wage, spend it all on fancy cars and a bigger house get more aid when you've …

I agree that we are already massively terraforming the planet, and that there is some terraforming we should stop and dinner we should do more of.

Or you know, talk to your spouse about it first. I dropped down to $0 income for 2 years with two kids and a wife. My family is as strong as ever. Obviously just one data point and…

Yeah right, in my experience I haven't needed as many networks in the ensemble as I first assumed. This paper [1] suggests 5-10, but in practice I've found only 3 has often been su…

Right, the claim was that "Neural networks give probability estimates. Bayesian methods give us probability estimates AND uncertainty" which presents a false dichotomy. I think we …

It is common for a network to output the distribution, so the output is both the mean and variance instead of just the mean like you pointed out. For example check out variational …

A few ideas: 1) make the sortition group big enough, say 1000 or 10000 people, so the required number of people bribed goes up, which increases bribery cost as well as chances of g…

You can actually push a bit if current backwards through the cell to heat it up. Some people have tried this but not sure about what prevents this from being more wide spread https…

I actually find the "build something that is probably wrong faster" really helpful. I frequently write a function and a quick bit of documentation about what it should do, let copi…

I use filters all of the time, but they frequently don't work (as mentioned but a sibling comment) sometimes the filter value don't allow a range so if you want anything between 10…

I wish digikey was as good as McMaster. With digikey I often have to parse through a huge table with many pages to figure out what the difference is between a bunch of search resul…

And what about the highly skilled lower paid workforce also using automation in China? And with fewer safety requirements the machines are cheaper too.

It is possible you could get away with that in some places, but everywhere I've lived in the US, it is illegal to sell electricity to your neighbors. The only way around it I've se…

I've received money from the NSF SBIR grant program and know another half a dozen others who have as well, and while there is certainly a process, it isn't too bad. All the people …

You are right, I was mixing up authoritarian communism and anarchist communism, thank you.

It's not even a book by that title, it's an interview of him where the interviewer included the word communism in the title of the interview. I've read the books referred to in the…

All of those would still happen in zero-g though right?

Do you have a beacon system you have used that you have in mind?
