the one about mathematics being a young man’s game, the one about pure math being better than applied math, or the one about exposition being an unfit activity for a real mathematician. The opinion of this blog is that the Apology should be read mostly for insight into Hardy’s ...
There are more than 7 billion people on Earth. Imagine what will happen if every one of us is willing to do one thing — no matter how small — to protect wildlife every day. 1 . Here are some ways to help and protect wildlife. 2 Take a walk and see and enjoy the wildlife all...
Suggestion: even though it feels harder, you’ll end up with stronger memory of routines is you interleave dances rather than doing massed practice of repeating one dance several times before moving to the next. One of the most frustrating problems in dancing is where you remember a routine an...

, and some approximate transform between a sensor’s spectral response functions and the human observer needs to be applied. There are multiple ways to perform such an approximate transform, depending on the constraints and assumptions involved. Some of those ways are better than others. By the ...

It is also called "vectorized" in that a Single (virtual) Instruction is applied to Multiple Data (virtual SIMD). Numpy can be hundreds to thousands of times faster than pure Python because it avoids the overhead of handling Python instructions in the loop over numbers. Most data processing ...
Finally, in the full model we numerically study the influence of squeezing in the initial state of the environment, showing broader regions of formation than for non-squeezed thermal states. Keywords: decoherence; quantum Brownian motion; broadcasting ...
“Masters of the Universe” to describe data scientists, and that doesn’t bode well. In general, hype masks reality and increases the noise-to-signal ratio. The longer the hype goes on, the more many of us will get turned off by it, and the harder it will be to see what’s good...
Conversely planets out in the Kuiper Belt are tiny, dark, and cold and slip through the darkness without affecting anything around them, so they are very much harder to detect even if they are thousands of times closer than exoplanets. Plus we know where to look for exoplanets — we study...
