    Yeah, wow, whitepaper expects their reserve matched by other farmers only after 21 years of Chia mining/plotting. I see Bram Cohen got the original authors of "proof of space" or w…

    The whole point of Bousquet study was comparability, so it had to be the lowest common denominator, especially in a field that defines SotA differently year to year in each wave of…

    You are complaining how the article doesn't mention GANs while replying to a comment about article's treatment of GANs. Revealing you are biased against even reading the biased art…

    That's a significant goalpost move. From debating particular mechanisms and postulated inevitability of AI, to assuming full blown strong Church-Turing-Deutsch principle and moving…

    All chemistry is ultimately quantum, same with rocks and everything up to celestial bodies (meaningfully, the moon Hyperion decoheres). For most of calculations though classical mo…

    I find these threats doubtful, I don't see the editorial board wasting their life on sustained activism over the years chasing remnants of something they helped to create and what …

    The process, as told by the author, was that one of the editors invited to submit, and three weeks later it was published upon which the rest of the editorial board took notice and…

    Sorry, but the ArXiv does have a moderation team and stuff is being removed. Alike, most online journals remove stuff by wholly replacing it with a retraction notice. Journals prin…

    Sorry, but it is for everybody to decide. Reviewers don't have a sacred sanction and exclusive right to judge. Many a time in cases of plagiarism I worked through I've met with thi…

    What the parent charitably didn't stress is that this proof is the totality of mathematical work in this paper. The rest is a stream of words. As such it is a work of social scienc…

    It captures more of the spatial (metric topological) arrangement in the set. Example they give in the paper is the MINST dataset where distinctly looking digits like 1 and 0 get se…

    Without (arbitrary) scaling normalization PCA gives different results with change of dimensional units, that is principal components depend on choice of units or scaling.

    PCA is dimensionally invalid, it destroys, not preserves structure and consists of arbitrary linear algebra operations. It is "less arbitrary" the way x86 assembly is "less arbitra…

    Not true, a lot of mathematical problems behave better (but other semiclassical approaches also exist). As for the epicycles comparison, it's actually apt. They could have given co…

    This is something different. Zeilinger paints himself disproving realism alone and has a well known philosophical stance/bias here. Local realism testing here however is about bein…

    Relativistic extensions aren't pleasant in standard QM either. Bohmian formalism would require something perhaps no less aesthetically repulsive, but surely more alien: a preferred…

    It would help if these weren't all from the same single source: Zeilinger's Vienna group and friends. On the other hand formalism works seamlessly mathematically, which cannot be s…

    It is in fact age limited precisely to combat ageism of the early 20th century. Otherwise only elders would get it (would they outlive the queue of their masters), when it's irrele…
