"map of NYC" does not include Staten Island. That's how we like it

This is cool, but more as a demonstration of interesting CSS techniques than optical illusions in my opinion. Also, interestingly, I seem to be able to force myself to "see through…

Can someone give an example use case of this? I'm not sure I understand why a very public long string of random characters on a block chain is useful, except as a way to prove an e…

Why would the author even make a point about the different seasons between hemispheres and then immediately get it wrong? He tells the reader to "reverse the seasons and add six mo…

Beginning to think you're actually incapable of understanding what I'm saying so I'll be as clear as possible. You said, "the point of a command economy is to reduce individuals fr…

Claiming that you've made an unsupported generalization, and then making one, is not a contradiction; it's hypocrisy. In any case, your statement still fails to hold water. Conside…

Any memoryless continuous function between two Euclidean spaces, I think you mean. The experts-and-manager model would need to be able to do more than that (as do most neural netwo…

After some reflection, it's maybe more accurate to visualize this in reverse: all expert models see the problem and attempt a solution, and then some "manager" model decides which …

It's not a likely solution given how loss functions work, but in theory a single model could learn to perform exactly the function you describe. When you say "just do X" where X is…

If you pointed out any contradiction, you did an unfortunately poor job of elucidating exactly where that contradiction occurred. Furthermore, you failed to support your claims eve…

It looks like we're working off fundamentally different definitions of central planning, so of course we disagree. Central planning, in my vernacular, does not at all imply governm…

Regardless of whether this is a "problem" that gets "resolved," surely you understand you have failed to support your conjecture that my command of the economy is purpose-built to …

> I own all factories that can produce X, and am by some benefit of scale now the only one reasonably able to make an X-factory. If I didn't do it, probably nobody could. > I have …

Right, so let's say Duke Energy is a private profit-seeking company in the eastern US. In many areas it is the only energy company in town. Are you trying to say that, just because…

On the section about partitioned joins, how is that different from SELECT sale_dt, name, Sum(quantity) FROM sales LEFT JOIN product ON sales.product_id = product.id GROUP BY sale_d…

Over time, all systems collapse eventually. That sentiment is worthless. Furthermore, nobody said anything about working hard. Surely you're not about to claim that all pre-colonia…

Interesting note about using "to" for ranges. I see things like "between 15-20" or "from 15-20" all the time at work, and it's never clear whether 20 is included in that range. Is …

The US military's many labs, test sites, software foundries, federally funded research and development companies, and research institutes are laughing at this sentiment. Innovation…

> the point of a command economy is to deny individuals freedom. This is an unsupported generalization. Command systems exist to mandate production and distribution of goods, e.g. …

I fear you are confusing the concepts of central planning (which commercial monopolies can and often do have) and government control or ownership.

I used it in grad school a lot, especially when I was running/editing someone else's Matlab code. But if I were to build something on my own, Python would be the way to go.

Currents, on the large scale, are not caused by tides. Surface currents (down to 300m or so) are driven by prevailing winds, and deep currents driven by differences in temperature …

Currents are relatively unrelated to tides, and are fairly consistent over time (with some seasonal variation due to differences in hemispheric temperatures). From [1], "the large …

Yes, but I think that's why you're confused. The distance between the individual speakers would be d, not N*d. Because your original comment was about this spacing, that's what I a…
