The Probability Density Function: A Known Unknown
As some of the long-time readers of this blog know, in this column I have occasionally discussed probability calculations in the context of gambling and betting. A long time ago I also famously won a $1000 bet on the LHC not discovering any new physics. Below I will mention a similar bet that ended up not being agreed>
I was reached this evening by the news of the passing of a dear friend, Enrico Stomeo. Enrico was an architect by profession, but for me he was rather defined by his activity as an amateur astronomer - in fact, if I had to define what a serious amateur astronomer is, I would more or less consciously be describing>
Espresso is a coffee extraction process where hot water is forced through finely ground coffee at a barometric pressure of nine - which means nine times the usual pressure you feel at sea level, which translates to about 130 pounds per square inch, about 400 percent of your car tires.Some people drink it diluted with>
At a major Artificial Intelligence competition at the University of Reading on 12 October, machines have come close to imitating human communication.
As part of the 18th Loebner Prize, all of the artificial conversational entities (ACEs) competing to pass the Turing Test have managed to fool at least one of their>
Calliope integration and testing is on hold until Spring break, possibly until Summer. This is driven by two factors: my new job has me short on time, and InterOrbital's deadlines have removed a strong time pressure. It's a good situation-- it's always better to have more time.One aspect of my new job>
Light is a useful tool for quantum communication, but it has one major disadvantage - it travels at the speed of light and sometimes things need to be kept in place, or at least slowed down. Like with trains all sharing a track, you can't have one express line with no brakes for very long. A team researchers>
