No superhero makes Europeans laugh more than Batman. There's something abt that character.. I guess too over the top. Iron Man is fine. Not Batman.

With RBF reduction / interpolation I can represent the terrain of 20k km^2 with 5 MB model. Whole earth = less than half a gig. Thatz some useful math. U can store model on phone and work offline. Boom


Disco S02E04 - not too shabby. Feels more Trek each ep. Fantastic #1

Less of that Klingon shite plz too and I think Disco is slowly phasing that stuff out. Hopefully we saw the last of that in E03, whatever that frckin storyline was, human/K dude joined Section 31, and it's done?

These scenes look like a Kiss concert man, where all band members in need of a Heimlich maneuver. Garg garg... gaaarrrggg!

Gold has severe flaws. Physical locality makes it less secure and far more transactionally local, and thus more vulnerable to politics and less sound, than we can now achieve with Bitcoin, with good key management and taking advantage of its trust-minimized global settlement.

Elcogen has solid oxide fuel cell tech. No rare earth metals used (no platinum), they work with ceramic at high temparature which does the job. FC's work in either direction, give elec, H2 comes out, give H2 elec comes out. Done deal.

@JWilliamsFstmed Feb 7 More I love how Millennials are Ghosting Banks

Millennials are the largest generation in the US.

77 percent feel the traditional financial system is “designed to favor the rich and powerful.”

75 percent worry about the global financial system being hacked.

Bitcoin has no fav's.

Wells Fargo, the 4th biggest bank in the United States has effectively been offline all day today. No bank access at all. CNN, MSNBC, Fox News all have zero articles about this on their home pages.

DEEP LEARNING CANNOT BE APPLIED TO EVERY BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM

Thank you for coming to my ted talk


A common theme in science fiction is that in the future, mankind has learned from its wars and has a unified world government.

Alternative: mankind has learned that centralization is fragile and now has 10,000 sovereign but cooperative states, like Switzerland writ large.


NYT added major # of subscribers past year, making loads of $$$ there. I see TYT is pushing for it too.

For publishers it is a "surer" revenue stream. In the coming month u know your earnings. Pretty cool.

"I definitely believe this. @Tesla did not disclose the extreme range reduction you get in cold weather. On most trips in my model 3 I get 50% less range than the car estimates. (This has been in 10-40F degree weather)."

"Study shows electric cars lose 41% of range in ‘icy temperature’, Tesla disputes the claim"

Noteworthy. I am warming to the idea as the default mode for content distribution. Eyeballs on ads are too flaky, here now gone tomorrow. Sub rel is longer term.

Hm. RBF'd that bih m..t..kaaa.. (that was very high pitched, w lots of attitude).

This interpolation used 600 pts. Not bad. The hill in prev photo is the little guy closest to viewer. It's very hilly here.

No you cant create a cabal member, secret society, ___insert weirdness__ out of Tusk. He is a knuckle head from the streets of Warsaw. He said what he said bcz he is truly pissed at Brits and Brexiteers.

What is infuriating for the EU is the curr arrangement was best for UK. Now they are asked to give some imaginative 'better' when they can't do the old best anymore.


Powercell is a BUY.

I'd wait until 4 Eur tho.

@librarythingtim

Will someone explain to me what Patreon spent $107m on—and it's not enough? Literally, how does their simple service cost that much to make and run? Okay, I'm cheap as hell in how I run mine, but seems off by an order of magnitude to what I'd consider sufficient for the job.


No need for "smart grid" that is supposedly based on "DC energy" and will reroute energy to where it is needed. This is 90s style old-skool Al Gore environmentalism. There is already an energy carrier based on molecules, with xport infrastructure to take it where it's needed.


Hypersolar is a BUY


Yeeaa.. I'm gonna RBF, Gaussian bump ur ass m..f..ka. Just wait.


Yes I dislike TFG too. And like the Orville.


Downsample to 3%, data for 1 huge grid becomes 2 MB. Sheeeeet


If u have continous func, u can get elevation data at any resolution. This is key for flattest path algo.

Next, next step; seeing if heat flow PDE can be used to find path. Higher elev can be seen less thermal conductvity, start pos is heat source, target is sink


Imma fit Gaussian bumps on elevation data w RBF to have smooth, continous funcs as mountains.

However 100m corresponds to 0.001 change on lat/lon. A box (20,30),(21,31) has 1 mil pts. Solution: downsample. Dude did it, reports good results on the fit.


TV guy said "Martin Luther Coon"? What a jackass..

I have a funny story with that word. First time I heard it was during OJ trials. There was an OJ joke for everything. This one goes "one day OJ comes to the courtroom, in a Hawaii shirt, summer outfit. His lawyer asks him 'what is going on OJ? Why r u dressed like this?'

OJ says 'I thought you said we was going to Cancun'. Lawyer says 'no, I said you are going to the can, coon'". Joke was triggered bcz we were going to Cancun.

Guy who told us the joke was racially .. everything, except black, hence the joke I guess.

Funnier thing is the same guy ran someone over with his car, while drunk, killing him, and went to the slammer himself for 10 years for manslaughter :| How's that 4 a story?
