    1. With enough repetition, every game will degrade to its geometric average

      Every game where wins are compounded

    1. While this might have been considered highly competitive in 2019-era crypto markets, it is a far cry from the microsecond-level precision of market making in traditional finance. (N.B.: Typically microsecond-level precision refers to a slightly different concept; however, even prediction of directional price movement takes place at timescales much lower than two seconds!)

      Who does a market maker compete with?

    1. We introduce a novel neural network architecture for real-time rendering that combines supersampling and denoising, thus lowering the cost compared to two separate networks. This is achieved by sharing a single low-precision feature extractor with multiple higher-precision filter stages. To reduce cost further, our network takes low-resolution inputs and reconstructs a high-resolution denoised supersampled output.

    1. smaller set of features that “matter” for its specific function

      functionalist mindset

    Annotators

    1. Why is random search so competitive? This is just a consequence of the curse of dimensionality. Imagine that your space of hyperparameters is the unit hypercube in some high dimensional space. Just to get the Bayesian uncertainty to a reasonable state, one has to essentially test all of the corners, and this requires an exponential number of tests

      need to learn incrementally from smaller examples

    1. And with the rise of high performance computing enabling the simulation of real-world phenomena, an understanding of the underlying mathematics is more important than ever to ensure that our models—whether it’s the flow of blood, gush of oil, or the ripple of waves—represent reality.

      How would I argue to disagree with that as in two theories of statistical learning

    1. ribosome density data suggest that errors occur at sites where ribosome velocity is relatively high, supporting the notion of a trade-off between speed and accuracy as predicted by proofreading theories

      find the bases where errors occur and gain additional constraint for evolutionary 3D structure prediction

    1. community detection method, persistent communities by eigenvector smoothing (PisCES), that combines information across a series of networks, longitudinally, to strengthen the inference for each period. Our method is derived from evolutionary spectral clustering and degree correction methods

      lense-free droplet imaging reveals dynamic network timeseries

    1. a deterministic function that tells us what the next state will be given the current state, the current input, and an error signal

      compute the difference between now and then from now plus input variables

    1. a new centre: the Clostridia Foundry for Biosystems Design (cBioFAB) pioneering the use of non-living (cell-free) approaches for rapid prototyping and computer-aided design of novel pathways

      microfluidic cell free system

    1. taken an existing gasification system at a landfill site and added LanzaTech’s fermentation capability to a slipstream of the gas

      By gasification do they mean the waste incineration?

    1. production of agricultural fertilizers, an energy-intensive process fed by fossil fuels and reliant on a robust manufacturing infrastructure: factories connected to rail and road networks for distribution

      how much of global fossil fuel isnused for fertilizer production?

    1. Not taking into account the cost of negative externalities caused by fossil-based products creates market distortions. Who pays for the damage caused by CO2 emissions?

      but bioplastics also emit co2? where is the difference?

    1. even though the identifier and the auth are combined into one token, lets not use the same data both for lookup and for performing the authorisation.

      is there a capability graph ?

    1. Simulations using our revised RNA parameters and the TIP4P-D water model, however, maintain the extended conformation of rU40 and recapitulate the experimental 〈RFRET〉 values at low salt concentration

      a physical model should be learned in a fixed environment with all species

    1. transition matrix of the random walk depends on the network weights, while in turn the weight of an edge is reinforced by the passage of a walker

      ant colony optimization by transition matrix on edge reinforcement? Bayesian ant colony optimization

    1. today 70%-75% of their waste is diverted from landfill through composting and recycling

      how much co2 can be extracted from this kind of waste when composting in a special capturing machine?

    1. we are talking about very small effects. The noise is many orders of magnitude more than the signal. If there is a signal. Maybe there is no signal at al

      can i use random matrix theory on meta studies to quantify the signal?

    1. rational prediction became possible… not just one slice at a time, but with the help of the Fundamental Theorem, by leaps and bounds

      is "differentiable programming" a generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus?

    1. the user wants a system that can automatically generate an "accounts receivable aging report." In this case, you should not presume that the developer of the accounts receivable system understands the entire concept of "aging" in its accounting sense. Instead, describe in plain and simple English the data needed and the mathematical equations required

      The spec writer is acting as a compiler from the customer language into the engineering language

    1. “How big is it? How many features are there, and what are they? What voltages will it operate from?” Eventually I came to a list of things that would always be present, and I knew I had a place to start

      Spec for a product

      Lastenhefte = Ausschreibungsunterlagen Ausschreibungsunterlagen / BE tender (AE bid) documents

      Lastenheft ["statement of work"] is what the customer specifies when asking for tenders, and Pflichtenheft ["scope statement"] is what is then agreed between customer and supplier. Yet in English we usually speak of specifications or simply specs

      how does rest-point feedback compare to continuous feedback?

    1. A gazebo is a pavilion structure, sometimes octagonal or turret-shaped, often built in a park, garden or spacious public area.

      There were large brick-chimney and smaller iron hibachi-style cooking stations and wooden picnic tables all over the park (running with the demon)
