So that the SRB's can splash down and not fall directly on the space center they just took off from 50km ago :D It's not a very elegant answer mathematically but it does account for why they would need to move horizontally so quickly.

Further observations Okay, I've been geeking out with WaveGrid... might change the name, but while doing so, I've observed quite a few interesting behaviors and added some hyper-parameter controls to the system. It's now possible to change the lower and upper bounds of ease through changing...

Just got my next reading assignment ;)

LOL, not to mention, to parse lagauge is one thing, to generate it, you have to have some sort of intention of the communication. If you wanted to make a program that managed a house, you don't really need the program to fully encode english... you just need some well crafted messages for...

In the field of language computation there is "parsing" and "generating". You are speaking about generating natural language with a set of rules to control how phrasing is done, etc. Let's use as an example, some other systems If you think about Google Translate... What type of data does...

What is your current level of programming? For instance, do you know how to do hex->dec conversion and vice versa? Do you know about memory addresses, pointers, and the like? Do you also have experience with analog electronics?

Thinking in real life, I totally understand that from traveling. After living in a number of places around the world for different periods of time, I realized that the people I meet are what forms my opinion about the place. To re-iterate what you said in "my own words": instead of worrying...

Thanks Stephen. What do you suggest as far as learning character building? I would look at google, but on things like this, I prefer interacting with people overr just looking stuff up. It is definitely the second. It's not necessarily that I want to document a technology, if not, show how...

Great idea, thanks! I will try this method. Maybe the narration is someone who outlived the entire era of time the story took place in. I am already referring to pretty much everything in past omnipresent third person. Ooh, maybe the Narrator is a machine artifact which holds digital...

Well, the problem with this specific writing is that it's set in a future when people pretty much stop talking to each other... They communicate only with thought, over their version of the internet... which is mostly images, feelings, etc. Here's Chapter 3... in the beginning of the book...

Ah, yes, the continuous battle against spam :) It's like cosmic radiation, just keeps bombarding the atmosphere every day. Thanks for the reply. I didn't know there was even an approval process. I will let you know in the future when I make a new thread about a project of mine.

I have been writing this science fiction novel in the form of a blog so that I can get feedback. It's based on the direction that technology is progressing on a whole, but in a "distant" future when we basically Ray Kurzweil got his way, but it didn't turn out exactly how he predicted. Chapter...

I am not very highly experienced in formal mathematical notation. I tend to express and concepts more through programming languages. I know many languages and have even built some of my own. I'm very interested in machine learning, multi agent systems (MAS), and overall the exploration of...

[Mentors' note: one short paragraph of speculation in violation of the Physics Forums rules has been removed from this post] Follow the link below to play with my experimental sandbox. The rest of this post includes some instructions for use and then observations and a little bit of theory...

Actually, yes. but not really yes ;) Anyway, here's the test I ran to get an actual benchmark on the same processor, but I forgot to mention I'm using latest version of firefox and running on windows... with no hardware acceleration on. So it's only CPU, and we're talking javascript running...
