Psychologists and patients can get by with VR simulations using a VR glasses and a powerful gaming PC. They just ctrate a game map that resembles the experience that gave the patient PTSD and gradually increase the realism. They can also create regular street scenes with car engines backfiring, motorists yelling, construction workers running machinery and dropping crates. Gradually they desensitize the patients to these stimuli.
When most people do addition, multiplication, subtraction or division, they do it in the way you woulf get a computer program to do it using ASCII strings.
An ioiot savant is either doing the calculation using lookup tables or a optimized and parallelized algorithm. Like when you memorize the times table, that is basically associative memory.
Yes that was the video. I thought it was a real lawn mower at the time. They have just shaped the frame at the sides to look like a lawnmower. Other shapes have been tanks and bulldozers.
A lot of projects are cross collaborations between academic researchers , DoD, and corporations. Researchers need access to download/upload data, results, source code and documentation as well as use facilities like wind tunnels, supercomputers and wave machine water tanks.
Its cheaper to give someone FTP access than to have them fly across the continen every time they want to do a simulation run.
As long there is plenty of seed, and not too much salt. You might try adding some skipjack. But if you see little knapsacks, you know they are going off on Feistel rounds.
Jeez, I once refilled the laser printer toner with coffee, and tried to microwave cous-cous without using water. A college friend once put the kettle on without filling it (it exploded).
There is always putting down newspaper over wet varnish to stop people leaving footprints on the varnish.
My favorite is charging up a car battery and turning on the ignition before removing the cables.
Lots of libraries are event-driven: X-windows, GUI widgets, Qt, device-drivers. Even certain 2D graphics API's had callbacks like TIGA.
Back in the 1980's, ADT (Abstract Data Types) were the big thing in C programming. They were the predecessors to object-orientated design. You started by having a typedef'ed structure. Then you had init, allocate, deallocate functions. With function-pointers (something like: int (*procfunc)( int param1, int param2) stored within that structure, you could do all sorts of C++ things, like different instances of different class types. While C++ inline functions didn't exist, you just used macros to modify structure variables.
Function calls were also expensive (thus the use of macros). Compilers like Borland C++ (the command line version) had all sorts of compiler optimizations to speed up function calls (it also did as much work to implement UNIX library functions as possible). There were different ways of optimizing function calls. One way was to avoid saving the entire register set - though that would mess up interrupt handlers. Another way was to use register variables for function calls as much as possible. There was a different between Pascal and C function call conventions. One had the calling function clean up the stack frame, while the other version had the called function do the clean up. Then there were all the different programming model sizes (tiny, medium, small, large, huge). These had different code, data and stack segments (64K = 32-bit). Other optimizations were for size or speed. There was the capability to generate DLL files. Other optimizations would include merging small functions into larger ones.
Interesting thing was, that the Borland C++ compiler would pick up just statements outside the case conditions of a switch statement while GNU C++ even today won't. Even a return followed by a break would cause an unreachable code error.
I must have been thinking of some other formula to get power of six, but still, it's fascinating that the magnetic field is bipolar while gravity is basically monopolar.
I rememeber that site - used to watch reruns of some of my favorite sci-fi series while the CEO's of Virgin and Sky media were having ego-fights over syndication fees. Thanks to those butt-heads never got to see the first run of the new series of Battlestar Galactica - so just watched it online instead, and cancelled my cable subscription.
quantum entanglement, gravity, protein folding, quasi-period crystallization, mystery rock movement in deserts (Why can't someone just put a satellite phone and webcam on a observation box and solve this once and for all?)
Or a magnetic field as well - which decreases in strength by 1/d^6 - not squared, cubed, double-squared, but just raised to the power of six, which suggests that what would seem to be empty or solid space at our dimension, would be like swiss-cheese at sub-atomic scales.
I'd imagine both cases are a form of induction - you create a field in one point, and adjacent points realign or stretch to balance out the differences in gravitational or magnetic potential and alignment. There are infinite ways of trying to produce a visual way of representing what is going on - superstrings, vortices, sinks and sources. It's just a matter of finding the right experiment.
They did similar experiments with brain electrode vision. They placed a mesh of electrodes over the visual field of the brain and then gradually matched electrodes to locations in the visual field. Had to carefully balance the voltage levels as there was the risk of migraine, epilectic fit and dizziness. Main problem was that before the system was powered up, the brain had set all inputs to maximum gain in order to get visual input. Of course, there wasn't any. So when the electrodes were activated, there was a shock pulse while they renormalized.
They have done research with electrodes wired into the brain. Paralyzed patients were able to control a cursor in four directions and select items. Unfortunately, having a hole drilled in your skull with a RJ45 socket wasn't the most practical interconnect. Maybe a Bluetooth dongle would be more practical, but there is still the problem of keeping the client side powered up.
In the past, your friends would draw you a simplified map of the neighboring streets using a device known as a pen on permanent non-volatile memory surface known as paper. The really neat thing was that as long you kept it dry, the information would be retained permanently. If you were really lucky, they might photocopy part of a map and place a photograph of their house. These too were really neat in that they stored street numbers, so you knew what end to travel too.
Sometime they might even leave the front porch light on, place balloons outside the entrance, or place candles along the driveway like landing lights, so you knew you were heading in the right direction.
Re: f16 cant use nvidia drivers You cannot use the the old legacy 173.xx.xx Nvidia drivers in F16. It is not compatible with the current version Xorg.
What would happen is that some bit of the kernel grabbed up the PCI interrupt/memory map and allocated it to the nouveau driver. The NVidia driver installer would complain about not finding some interrupt or other. If the nouveau driver wasn't there in.ko form, X-windows wouldn't start.
I couldn't even use the package installer to remove the nouveau driver without it wanting to take out the entire X-windows/Xorg system. The Grub boot system had also changed rather substantially. Even using "dracut" wouldn't help.
National and international tax laws change every year. Same with national and international law. The lawyers and accountants get payed big bucks as a commission for the money they can save the employer. That's why corporations will file 1000 page accounting statements. They'll have scoured the lawbooks for every possible tax credit, rebate, reduction and legal exemption.
It's the same anywhere - UK has the same career prospects for bio-research. Sure they want PhD researchers to investigate protein interactions, but it's cheaper employing PhD students that it is to employ post-doc researchers. Then the only inudstry option seem to be research director or lab technician.
The secondary problem is that there is a housing shortage within the immediate commute area. Employers and cities then have the challenge of shoehorning hundreds of thousand of people into a few dozen square miles. Somewhere like Silicon Valley is one example. First you have the salary differential between CEO's, directors, senior engineers and graduates. Everyone wants to live in a house close to work. Most people from senior engineers upwards are looking for a large home with bedrooms for themselves and their children. The entry-level graduates are then forced to share rooms. If you boost salaries, then rents, house prices and mortgages rise to compensate until you are back where you started. The only real solution is to improve transport systems so that commute times aren't as long for new builds. Or relocate offices.
From what I heard from other contractors, they went into military contracting because there wasn't any competition for jobs with graduates from developing world countries.

Magnetic field strength decreases with the cube of distance

The "strong nuclear force" doesn't diminish with distance

The problem is that the nerves in the spinal column don't regenerate. Something about the spinal fluid retarding growth or something similar.

Yes, I have used that in the past... that's what I tried using.
