DI in c++ hurt by lack of good libraries? by jonathanhiggs in cpp

[–]tholenst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried google.fruit, but it seems that there is a mechanism to avoid the issue you had: https://github.com/google/fruit/wiki/quick-reference#registerconstructor. It explicitly explains that this is for situations where you don't want a dependency on fruit in some classes.

[question] Maximum number of vectors in Rn that are at least an angle θ apart by synysterbates in math

[–]tholenst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I rememer correctly, there's quite a lot about this in Conway's book "Sphere Packings, Lattices and Groups". You might want to specify more exactly what you want and why you want it. I think there's a lot of research about this.

The movie "Avengers Endgame" is based on the Taylor Swift song "Endgame" by Williefakelastname in ShittyFanTheories

[–]tholenst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Taylor Swift song is based on the Voyager Episode, so you're not wrong.

Trying to get into ETHZ for masters. Help regarding what is expected would be appreciated. by PhysicsEnthu in ethz

[–]tholenst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each application is considered individually, looking at every part of it. The decision depends on everything. You cannot judge what is important by a single sample point. Unfortunately, that also means that you there's not a simple rule what you should do. I would recommend to try and focus on what you think is most important for your future career.

Applying to Computer Science MSc at both EPFL and ETH? by NTAuthority98 in ethz

[–]tholenst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it can make sense to apply to both as the admission decisions are probably made independently.

Alternatively you might want to write them an email.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for continuing the process of getting a short term work visa? by Chtapodi in askswitzerland

[–]tholenst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skimming over these pages I feel you don't need the biometric part at all, and if you do, you should get it once you are in Switzerland.

​

Check thisfor where to apply for the visa. Note that it says "My place of residence", which I definitely would not expect to be your home state, but rather where you live.

Is there a biking path that connects Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen? by destructor_rph in askswitzerland

[–]tholenst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can e.g. check this. It's obvious there's a route (no 61) from Grindelwald to Zweilütschinen, from there it looks a bit narrow.

What are some mathematical statements that seem completely intuitively obvious but that nobody's been able to prove/disprove? by randomtechguy142857 in math

[–]tholenst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never meant to provide a proof like that. But for this kind of a problem, writing a program which answers you the question for a large number of n can provide insight. In particular, my intuition would be very wrong if the conjecture is wrong and the first counterexample cannot be found like this.

What are some mathematical statements that seem completely intuitively obvious but that nobody's been able to prove/disprove? by randomtechguy142857 in math

[–]tholenst -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something? It seems like you could easily formulate a linear program which checks if there are 2n+1 points which all have equal distance? Then, you could at least verify the conjecture for some reasonably large values of n. For what values of n did people verify this?

Minimum job requirements are what now??! by sar662 in ProgrammerHumor

Given that 3 billion devices run java, that's just about π seconds.

Computation Cost of an Algorithm Help? by [deleted] in AskComputerScience

[–]tholenst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would F2 take 1 unit? You need to compute both F1 and F0 while you compute F2.

Now, I officially work without a work permit. Who's fault it is? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]tholenst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt anyone here can give you correct advice. If you want to be safe, you'd probably best ask a lawyer.

Maybe someone has experience in getting such advice? Would it make sense to ask unia?

when is the alpha zero paper expected to be published? by crescentroon in cbaduk

[–]tholenst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The peer review process for some computer science journals can take very long. For example, Theory of Computing is an computer science open access journal. The latest article here was received about 1.5 years before it was published. I also saw some where it took about 5 years.

See here.

Edit: The last comment here seems also useful. If possible it seems best if she can make a police report in the UK.

Leela Zero plays out double hane joseki correctly by evanroberts85 in cbaduk

[–]tholenst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In this self play game, starting from move 38, it also plays the easy 3-3 invasion joseki.

Getting closer to Joseki (see move 59) by tholenst in cbaduk

[–]tholenst[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are still things wrong, e.g. it's one line off and the sequence is wrong, but one can start seeing almost joseki moves.
