On: How do electrons find the “path of least resistance”? [video]

This same youtuber made a video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vrhk5OjBP8

On: Basic terminology and practices related to graph databases and graph modeling

[markjspivey]

with property graphs, as compared to RDF, wouldnt the internals of nodes (properties) not be considered actually a part of the graph itself (or atleast not first class)?

why being downvoted?

On: Using grape harvest dates to estimate summer temperature over 650 years

[markjspivey]

what do you mean by a similar graph if the original post only goes back to 1950 but japans goes back to 600?

[tragiclos → markjspivey]

The original post goes back to 1354.

[markjspivey → tragiclos]

Yes one of the graphs is from back then, so then I’ll ask again since 650 is not 1354 …

[markjspivey → markjspivey]

im asking because of the medieval warm period and subsequent little ice age which occurred prior to the more recent big uptrend

On: Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts

[markjspivey]

I'm confused by your use of "fractal", could you expand a little bit on how your using that word in context here?

[efojs → markjspivey]

Hm. Interesting. Confusion means you had some expectations. Could you please share those first? What did you expect to see after reading "fractal thinking tool"?

On: Consciousness is not computation

[markjspivey]

How does the article and the HN comments not mention Stephen Wolfram and his Physics Project … ?

On: Entity Resolution: The most common data science challenge

[markjspivey]

this doesn't make any sense though, your write up starts with an assumption that multiple records in the dataset are "obviously" the same entity ... so we wouldn't even need entity resolution then ...

"entity resolution" as a process should moreso imply how to determine whether two records that aren't obviously the same entity are actually the same entity ... and how you would go about discovering and proving and declaring that ...

On: What caused all the supply chain bottlenecks?

[markjspivey]

what you describe is still an actual supply chain issue though, you are merely elaborating on a possible cause for particular supply chain issues .

On: To motivate people, talk about the context of the work to be done

[markjspivey]

we can’t conflate nor confuse the interrogatives (who for what for when for where for why for how) ...

things being talked about are merely distinct, and certainly not interchangeable either / ors .
