    second version is super slow. it's always quadratic, no matter what input it is. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7717691/why-is-the-minima...

    Fossil fuel extraction leakage isn't that significant, although they seem to get the blame quite often. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35659947 This "giant" leak isn't…

    Heating and cooling is a significant energy factor, too. Your guidelines are spot on. One can do a lot. But it isn't enough to do just that, one has to point out the superiority of…

    I've put fracking numbers to point out the comparison. Animal agriculture is being done everywhere. I'm doubting people are eating meat from Brazil, Australia and Denmark in US, As…

    fracking - 70 to 140 billion gallons anually animal agriculture - 34 to 76 trillion gallons anually at least we know what wastes a lot of water, the solution is simple, but is not …

    This is implied through research on reductions in machine learning. That simple models can solve complex tasks. For example, you can do multiclass classification, cost sensitive (i…

    There isn't. Because most of the antibiotics are given to non-human animals which then provide billions of evolutionary pools for resistance development every year. Nothing can bea…

    It's not radical. Given the fact that with 1 metric ton of soy I can produce several tons of soy milk that has better protein and micronutrient content than cow milk. Same can be d…

    Animal agriculture industry causes incredible harm long term. For example a leaking natural gas well in southern California vented almost 100,000 tonnes of methane into the atmosph…

    definitely beneficial. GB was occasionally blocking some EU proposals based on no significant evidence they are that bad to be blocked.

    I guess I'm to much in the C++17 land.

    as much as it's not part of the standard, __restrict__ allows limiting the effects of pointer aliasing in C/C++. [1] [1] : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrict

    Still, beam search can be simulated and improved by running decision processes in parallel. For example, instead of learning the sequence labeling as a sequence of n decisions (whe…

    Interesting observation of computational complexity. HMMs require Viterbi algorithm to find the desirable sequence. The complexity of the algorithm depends on the number of previou…

    Another interesting thing is that perceptron can approximate any non-linear function with just a single hidden layer. http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/17545/universal-..…

    2048 or somewhere around that is the time when all of the ocean ecosystems will be completely destroyed. we're living in some crazy times.
