I have been wondering something similar. Just a simple voice-command thing. Not a general purpose, any voice, assistant, but just to be able to say a word 10 times to train (form s…

Democracy Now! also covered the protests at the end of 2017 [1]. [1] https://www.democracynow.org/2017/11/15/special_report_from_...

Note, that I still do like using Julia. I'm a physicist and need to do a lot of computations in a hassle-free way, then jupyter+Julia (+ SymPy) is(/are) the best available tool(s).…

I agree. I meta-programmed (enormous) expressions from analytical expressions exported from Mathematica to Julia, because I found Julia to be ~3000 times faster than Mathematica wh…

I heard that voiced as a worry, and the logic goes something like this: A small organisation that does not have the capability (money or otherwise) to implement their own content f…

I also find this a useful resource when preparing a talk (slides-based): David Tong's "How to make sure your talk doesn't suck" www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/talks/talk.pdf

I'm confused over the size of these extra dimensions... They say that they do not rule out small compact extra dimensions, but only large ones, the number they give is ~100 km. But…

I tried to use pandoc a while ago to convert the latex-sources of arxiv.org documents to epub, since those are often much more comfortable to read on small devices than pdfs. The p…

Their journals are not even doing their job properly and have published a plagiarised version of a paper already in Nature: https://www.reddit.com/r/academia/comments/8w98c8/shamel…

As I said elsewhere in this discussion thread: I tried it this morning (lineageOS). Got the arm binary from github, `chmod +x`-ed it on my computer and scp:ed it over to my phone. …

Just have to add a comment on some things. It is unfortunate that they refer to the 26 dimensions... > [...] particles as tiny vibrating loops of string that exist in somewhere bet…

Yeah, I guess that is fair. It might just be that it is more or less the furthest way from how I like to work as I can imagine. > Sin[θ] //TraditionalForm //TeXForm Did not know of…

>> The tie-breaker is social, not technical. > The tie-breaker is financial. Jupyter is winning because it's free [...] It is a bit more nuanced than that. Personally I do not pay …

I use the browser extension 'dark background light text' [1] for that reason. Works OK, far from perfect, but helps quite a bit. [1] https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-backgroun…

I have it a bit mixed up in my head, but yeah, Sony announced they would do one abandoned it, and then HBO bought it and announced it and abandoned it. So this would be the third s…

Since black-holes interact gravitationally with other particles, there must be a mediation of a graviton between them (assuming quantum properties of gravity). However, force media…

> graviton particle and the Higgs tells space which way to curve The Higgs does not play that kind of role. It is a common misconception, since Higgs it often referred to as "givin…

Is it a good choice though? Isn't there a bunch of possible issues with FAT patents, in case someone wants to ship a product that boots, that could have been avoided by using somet…

It is very bad indeed. 1. The judge in the pirate bay case was a member of an organisation "Svenska föreningen för upphovsrätt"/"The Swedish Organisation for Copyright" (my own tra…

> That suggests that the typical Swedish person feels that sharing copyrighted content is a heinous crime, on par with homicide. Well... I'm not sure that's how you should see it. …

> Well, it is technically not a bill [...] Yeah, was not sure how to explain the distinction, hence my quotation marks. Sorry for being vague.

> I don't know Swedish law, but I will guess that like American law, any parliament/house member can introduce basically any bill saying anything. So this "bill" is the result of a…

They never got into the Swedish parliament, only to the EU parliament. They did not perform very well in the Swedish elections (less than 1%, 4% is limit to get seats), and after t…

This, [0], appears to be the conclusion of the investigation that resulted in the bill, which contains a suggestion for a law. [0] (Swedish) http://www.sou.gov.se/wp-content/upload…
