Those Umayyads settled further into western Europe than most people recognize. Their expeditions covered most of western France, from the English channel to the Loire valley at the…

I do not believe that an actin-based system for parallel computation could ever be more energy efficient than ceramic hardware. It might give off less waste heat than your standard…

Here is the Nature paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature16454

In most European languages, the hierarchical namespace of vocabulary is encoded into the system of prefixes and suffixes. The Camel Case coding style is used for a similar mnemonic…

The most frequent time that English miscommunication becomes lethal is during translations between American, Imperial, and Metric standards of measure. The only other events I can …

That online course model would be a good way to finalize the textbook before publication. There are needed changes to specific verbs which relate to the implementation of lambda ca…

Peer pressure does lead to dishonesty, but the diversity of social experience compensates. There are several details from the final paragraph which are apparently an admonition. Sp…

Please stop.

It is not simply problematic in a political sense, it is is of ethical and ontological significance. The misdeed of "ripping someone off" is only rectified when society recognizes …

The interesting thing is that the stuff named after O. Teichmueller is originally named after other mathematicians. Those journals all have the same name until the postwar period w…

Seems to me that you are ignoring the importance of academic integrity in the context of a mathematical discussion. Shame on you for sympathizing with the Wehrmacht!

It does not seem like you understand the historical context of written Chinese; or the importance of social class within Confucianism. You would be better off reading a textbook on…

Oswald Teichmüller stole technical documents from Felix Hausdorff and then published the written material in a Nazi pseudoscience journal, alongside racial propaganda. It is theref…

Sōtatsu depicts nature's depth of color with exemplary detail.

Your writing is grammatically incoherent. Please make more of an effort to express yourself correctly. GPUs did not enable deep learning, they brought it to desktop scale.

This notion of "normal random mutation" does not mean anything in terms of molecular biology or genetics. It is equivalent to "Bad Luck", or "mutation triggered by something". The …

Coding theory is the matrix algebra of information theory. You should understand the meaning of the word "homomorphism" as it is used in Multilinear Algebra before you read about h…

I just learned about Math 55 and would trade plenty to teach that course. The problem here is that Mochizuki uses too many German Nazi references. Those people had no academic inte…

The appeal to ego is an important part of clickbait. Sociological approaches are the most effective measure in societies where the incidence of cancer is low. Ironically, people wh…

When you translate "Bad Luck" or 'Unlucky" into Confucian-era Chinese, the term is respectively equivocal to poverty or impoverished. "Random mutation" is vaguely technical enough …

I read the headline and wondered: "Since when is 'Bad Luck' anything other than a euphemism for the physiological stress which is symptomatic of poverty?" Clever science journalist…

How well do you understand the term "homomorphism"? Search engines are the most common example, in general.

I want to specify that and say there is no known quantum device which can successfully break lattice-based cryptosystems. Even if there was such a machine, the number of people who…

The best way to articulate that criticism is to quote me (or at least paraphrase Daniel Lidar) and say: "We have quantum information processing, but no computers as of yet." And, t…
