Imagine that you're trying to embed words with just three dimensions of meaning-- their degree of sweetness, largeness, and roundness. Numerically, you'd set a value of 0.01 for minimal relatedness to one of those attributes, all the way through 0.99 for very close correspondence. The word 'caramel' might then come out as 0.91, 0.03, 0.01 because that candy is sweet, but is neither big nor round.
I believe that the ideology of Islamism is one of the biggest obstacles standing before Muslims and their progress. Numerically. There are more Muslims in India than there are in Bangladesh.
In a situation where every waking moment has become the time in which we make our living and when we submit even our leisure for numerical evaluation via likes on Facebook and Instagram, constantly checking on its performance like one checks a stock, monitoring the ongoing development of our personal brand, time becomes an economic resource that we can no longer justify spending on nothing.
And what he did was he took the ratio of the Ark of the Covenant, which was 1.5 cubits by 2.5 cubits, and he created a numerical factor which he called the Sacred Proportion. And he multiplied that times pi times 360.
You know, Hunter S. Thompson has this line, that the only way to find out where the edge, where the line is, is by crossing it. they make numerical errors, or like, you know, counting Rs in strawberry or something which seems to trip up most models, or whatever it is, right?
We're running this algorithm. And it's a numerical technique that's trying to optimize a function. So yeah, that's what I think.
10 years ago-- about 8, 9 years ago, Shantanu made a decision, which basically was a non-numerical decision. And his non-numerical decision was he, was going to stop selling software, package software, and basically go to subscription using the cloud. His stock price fell by about 70% in the next two years.
Ahead of Oracle, ahead of SAP, ahead of everybody. He made a non-numerical leadership decision. He actually did the math, but he didn't say, my stock price has to be kept high, and I'm so scared, so I'm not going to basically do stuff, right?
Let's just arbitrarily say that Gwen had cake every single day. I can tell you numerically in fat loss weight, this is how it ends up working out.
The West was won with guns. How was the sheer numerical force of slaves on the plantation kept subdued? Through torture, psychological torture, repeated violence, and the gun.
Glycemic load is glycemic load. Let's put a numerical value on it and say 50. If it's 50 here, it's 50 here, whether that came from white rice and asparagus or brown rice on its own.
Actually, nobody's worked out what the minimal set of tickets you need to guarantee matching three is. Some people attacked it numerically. So they just run through and crunch through and learn possible combinations.
It doesn't just run. It was a numerical problem that seemed insoluble. And that's because gravity is very non-linear.
That could mean something involving the use of inappropriate substances, but they're not evenly distributed, are they? Along those sort of numerical axis. So this Riemann zeta function helps you understand how they're spaced out so I understand.
They saw it perfectly. has to be numerical.
viral geneticist Nils Aal Barricelli, who the moment even before Von Neumann got the machine running, 1959 Baricelli writes to Von Neumann from Norway saying he wants to come and run numerical evolution experiments on this machine. And the machine is being built to hydrogen bomb, hydro dynamic calculations.
We had numerical data.
We also had numerical data on their performance.
to go beyond simple tabular numeric data in an Excel spreadsheet to getting insights from images and audio and video and text, to get into environments where we might be
If you don't have a numeric system on your stove you are not going to learn anything today.
And initially we had a numeric scale going from about 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.
But the reason why we use Hindo-numeric numerals, why that we use the system that came from India isn't because of this sort of funny little trick, it's because of the number zero.
So I remember we would have these numeric codes and 1-4-3 was the numeric code for "I love you" and so if you had your girlfriend or your boyfriend or whatever you would text them
It looks at the actual numerical value of the transaction and it only accepts a payment of $0.
This is kind of a numerical simulation sneaking up to the question of, how many planets are there?
talking about the much larger numerically and much more influential group of Christian Zionists on the right. You know, groups
And so associated with the actual graphical thing, with it looks like a tree, you have a function that you're using a numerical method of optimization. And so when we learn something, we go to school
could be understood largely in numerical terms, and that it needed infrastructures of collection-- initially paper, nowadays, large-scale servers.
because your AI and Microsoft's AI and maybe one day, you know, Amazon's AI and everybody else's AI is going to start making numerical decisions in our jobs better than we are going to be making numerical decisions. Your CEO has said it's going to be bigger than fire and electricity, and I believe him.
There are people who work on numerical relativity simulations, and they do this kind of thing, and that's great.
But what if with this numerical representation we run across a 2 or some other number that's not 0 or 1?
The entire bulk of this thing is numerical.
The whole machine is based around numerical gears that turn around and they have locks to hold it in place, and if the lock hits a tooth at any point
But in addition to these sort of numerical measurements, we also got hem or to answer questions.
able to have these amazing numerical skills, the kind of the sort of idiot savant type.
You start to get what I call "numerical landmarks" in number space.
We chose a language that has a strong numeric tower implementation, so numbers behave as close as is reasonably possible to the numbers that
The size of the lens is described by the numerical aperture or NA for short, which is just the sin of this angle.
And a lot of that is because given the numerical superiority in other areas, the enslaved had more autonomy over their food,
Forget giving each word in a vocabulary its own unique vector. Instead, the numerical values within a vector could express how much a given word embodied particular aspects of meaning. Here's a simplified example.
And maths is helpful to kind of the numerical part of the world.
representativeness where you know if you've got X number numerically there um you you you've dealt with the issue of
It took 30 years, three decades, for them to write the codes properly and solve that numerical problem. So here is a beautiful visualization of one of the numerical solutions. It shows two black holes.
And then on the bottom axis you've got numerical performance.
And all these things actually influence how we understand even the numerical properties of numbers.
This is CNC, Computer Numerical Control, cut out with a mill over and over again.
But actually his office was above von Neumann. And I think in many ways the whole concept of numerical addressing that you could address strings of bits, manipulate the numerical addresses and then be manipulating the underlying streams is very similar to what Gˆdel did in his, sort of, incompleteness proof.
I should have seen that Bayes' enabled one to compute numerical answers." It was a particularly
to be as big as the Pixies who in numerical terms would sell maybe 300,000 albums and you know could sell a couple
Multiply that all, do some extra numeric , get to infinite numbers of stories about coffee and complexity.
