Only capable of storing 2K of data, telling the time, and performing calculator functions, the device was extravagantly priced at $300—about $690 in today’s dollars. 1985: No Respect Orion Pictures 1985: No Respect Fans of Rodney Dangerfield loved playing this Milton Bradley game, which incl...
When I compute morality, though, the only thing I have to examine is my calculator and a bunch of other ones. I would easily recognize thatmostcalculators I come across will give the same answer to a moral question, at least to a limited number of decimal points. But I have no way of...
But now is too late to start getting angry. The time to get angry was the very minute restrictions were imposed and the blanket of propaganda started to smother us. A good number of decent people pointed out at the time how utterly fucking outrageous, authoritarian, inhuman and futile all o...
@ecopsorn that's not the XMP profile, and that's not DRAM calc's highly suspect A0 recommendation either. If you're having trouble with these profiles out of the calculator, start tweaking from XMP as a foundation. First things first, MT86 doesn't prove anything on its own. Memtest86...
So far as people making simple logical errors in computing probabilities, as is implied by the word, "fallacy", well, yeah. Your computer can beat you in both logic and probabilities. Just as your calculator can multiply better than you....
Really? But logic, as a mathematical construct, "exists" (in the sense that it exists at all) independently of physical objects; a calculator on mars will get the same result as one on Earth, even if they have no causal connection. Logic seems like it can explain things in terms of ...
This is so true it’s not even funny. And it gets worse and worse the tougher the problem becomes. Take artificial intelligence, for example. A surprising number of people I meet seem to know exactly how to build an artificial general intelligence, without, say, knowing how to build an ...
The term 96A arose out of the CPUC General Order decision number (GO 96A), which gives SBC California the authorization to enter into such agreements. These agreements must be filed with the CPUC and are subject to the Commission's approval and issuance of an Effective Date. ICB contracts ...
Impact of the weather stations adjustments on the global land-ocean temperature record, calculated using the Skeptical Science temperature record calculator in 'CRU' mode.Manual recalibration of the Iceland records may make an interesting citizen science project. Most of the stations show good agreement...
How could errors happen? Errors can happen for a number of reasons. For instance, prescribers can be confronted with a long list of possible dose options for a medication and accidentally choose the wrong one. This can lead to a dose less than, or more than, the one intended. In our s...
