  1. Re:Linear algebra in the 8th grade? on Windows 10 Calculator Will Soon Be Able To Graph Math Equations (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This refers to more primary scholastic algebra of course. It is not the same as linear algebra but in basic ways that earliest form is closer to algebra.

  2. Re:Not really AI at all on Dashcam Video Shows Tesla Steering Toward Lane Divider - Again (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I am glad to see this distinction has been discussed. Because of the difficulty in fixing this problem it is probably due to a combination of control loop in the inflexible decision logic and error in the camera based image recognition system. Musk needs to admit error in relying on fantasy technology and add an array of $100 LIDAR sensors to break these problems. Hell, why not use a few hundred of them for redundancy? Nothing beats detecting the actual real world as a backup, and it should simplify a lot of the stupidly complex things they are doing that increase cost to the luxury level for what is barely an economy car in build quality.

  3. Easy Puzzle with Scientific Thinking on Historic, Widespread Flooding Will Continue Through May, NOAA Says (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Flooding due to early snow melting (when other water occupies the drainage basins). Higher temperatures sooner in the year causing earlier melting. What drives higher temperatures in abnormal patterns compared to records? What drives new and old water into areas different than previously used as drainage?

    These events are occurring because global warming and increased human development press on the environment at the same time. Both pressures are at fault, and have a common cause as both are driven by faster development than is supportable in the ecosystem.

  4. T-series is a decades old Indian music producer, a real business. Their youtube channel hosts thing that they own the rights to, so there is little legal mechanism for that treatment. Besides, the illusion of fairness isn't justice, in this case it is this character driving his fans to support him in a game that he created. That makes him responsible.

  5. Whether responsible originally or not, this character now is liable. Every firm damaged by this should sue him personally. This whole affair is absolutely crazy and shows the problem with new media advertising. Funding those sources that collect attention as a means to spread your own message doesn't work anymore. Considering views and clicks as expressions of commercial intent and rewarding whatever mechanism produces them is broken. There is no connection between purchases and the actions of a horde of children at computers, not even what was used by old toy commercials on broadcast tv. Every avenue open means the avenues are in the worst degenerative competition to outrage constantly to produce views and clicks while disavowing all responsibility. The world doesn't work like that though, there are avenues for recompense.

  6. EU laws apply to EU companies and companies that operate in the EU. That is what they are, not a scheme against ultra-nationalist fantasies. Every day I find myself wanting the world to become truly multi-polar again, like it was before the fad of superpowers. This is already happening due to growth rates, the EU and China will soon be doing more business together than the US with both combined. The AU (African Union) is starting to shape up as a meaningful entity especially the smaller ECOWAS military cooperation, as is ASEAN with naval treaties and increased shipping security all doing better than every former colonial power. This time multi-polarity is going to be permanent and world-wide, based on local strength rather than colonial exploitation to support over-sized powers.

  7. China is the global EV leader on China's E-Buses Dent Oil Demand More Than Electric Cars Do (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is the true reality of the world. China is the EV leader because it is not tied to the fantasy of AI and self-driving as pre-requisite for emissions reduction. The solution that can be and has been implemented now is to use these EV busses with trained drivers. Then dozens of passengers have greater security and can do anything for leisure or productivity while riding to their destinations.

  9. Re:ANSWER OR YOU CAN'T? LOL? on Death Metal Music Inspires Joy Not Violence, Study Finds (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Your question is wrong. There is nothing to define any sample as "too small" for anything arbitrarily. Effect size is what defines requirements, and that is based on the research question and its scope. What are you trying to estimate, and to what are you applying it? Serious research goes into this and it goes back to long before you were born. Visit a university and try to read something in the math library. Work backwards. I'll see you in a few years, or decades. Cultural difference makes you seem like a primary school child, but perhaps you are just an isolated overly coddled suburban teenager in America.

    Ah, so you took an introductory statistics course and think you understood something! There is your problem. You know alpha is arbitrarily defined, in the best cases weighted by real life risks or costs of error by type. Your sigma reference also requires an assumption about distribution, which large sample sizes can and often do in reality produce worse results and greater error when used to define estimators.

  15. Re:"The test involved asking 32 fans and 48 non-fa on Death Metal Music Inspires Joy Not Violence, Study Finds (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I am in full agreement with hey!; anonymous coward your understanding of statistics is flawed. Your comprehension of basic concepts is shallow, and your evasive arguments are those of a troll. It was some pleasant surprise to see his/her post with understanding of statistics on this website after so many years. To show you anonymous coward how wrong your are, compared to your claim of a need for larger sample sizes for legitimacy, that again actually introduces even more problems. The element of nonresponse can invalidate any sample created by asking many more people the research question. Suppose you got back 80 responses after asking 80.000 people, it would not be valid. But if you got back 800 from 800.000 or 8000 from 8.000.000 it would be just as invalid. Those who respond are not random in that case and inherently carry bias that increases with sample size increases. Large sample sizes do nothing. In contrast, a well designed small sample - say one with stratified selection to match relevant characteristics - can provide more information than a large sample. A small sample selected properly will be more normal than an unknown population distribution, and will produce results with less error for inference than a census subject to its sampling problems.

  16. Re:"The test involved asking 32 fans and 48 non-fa on Death Metal Music Inspires Joy Not Violence, Study Finds (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    No, you just don't know anything about real mathematical statistics. Bias is a component of error and it is amplified by large sample sizes that are not selected according to a strict randomness or with a designed plan. Simply adding "more samples" does nothing to improve accuracy for inference and in fact reduces it unless sampling (a field in itself) is applied properly.

As for China and Russia, you are very wrong. China tolerates Russia, while Russia fears China. All of the Russian Far East is populated by more Chinese than Russian nationals, and all of Siberia. Russia losing both makes it easy prey for every other country, and Chinese victory over Russia is easy. Why do you think they have intermediate range nuclear missiles on each others borders?

    The US and Germany have decades of close cooperation against the greatest enemy both have face - Putin's Satanic Russia. Trump is an obvious traitor and agent for Putin who needs to be removed from all influence.

  25. Grounding is Safest on Chinese Carriers, Ethiopian Airlines Halt Use of Boeing 737 MAX 8 Aircraft After Crash (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Chinese response is the most appropriate, especially since they are not blinded by the fear of damaging profit margins for Boeing. The fact that at least 2 incidents with "unknown" cause involve the same aircraft means its continued use while the cause is unknown is a risk. China recognizes it as an avoidable risk, which it is in reality.
