Hydrogen line by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
21 cm is very long and very low energy, because he energy split is very small!
Compare it e.g. with the hydrogen 1-2 spectral line which is 121.6 nm!

HyperCard by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
This was the pre-Internet precursor of wikis. This program was likely venerable, shame it predates Ciro Santilli's era.
But the thing was much more bloated it seems, and also included visual programming elements, and WYSISYG UI creation.

Adrian Wyatt by Wikipedia Bot 0
As of my last update in October 2023, there isn’t a widely recognized figure or entity specifically known as "Adrian Wyatt." It could refer to a private individual, a fictional character, or someone who has gained prominence in a specific field after my last update.

Hyperparameter by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
A parameter that you choose which determines how the algorithm will perform.
In the case of machine learning in particular, it is not part of the training data set.
Hyperparameters can also be considered in domains outside of machine learning however, e.g. the step size in partial differential equation solver is entirely independent from the problem itself and could be considered a hyperparamter. One difference from machine learning however is that step size hyperparameters in numerical analysis are clearly better if smaller at a higher computational cost. In machine learning however, there is often an optimum somewhere, beyond which overfitting becomes excessive.
Hyperscale computing by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Basically means "company with huge server farms, and which usually rents them out like Amazon AWS or Google Cloud Platform

Alan Ernest Owen by Wikipedia Bot 0
Alan Ernest Owen does not appear to be a widely known public figure or concept based on the information available up to October 2023. It's possible he is a private individual or someone who has not gained significant recognition.
Alexander M. Korsunsky is a name that may refer to various subjects, including individuals in academia, engineering, or other fields. However, without specific context, it's challenging to provide detailed information about a particular person named Alexander M. Korsunsky.
IBM by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
As of the 2020's, a slumbering giant.
But the pre-Internet impact of IBM was insane! Including notably:
Andrew R. Liddle by Wikipedia Bot 0
Andrew R. Liddle is a prominent theoretical physicist and cosmologist known for his work in the field of cosmology, particularly related to the early universe, inflation, and the nature of dark energy. He has contributed to various areas of research, including the dynamics of cosmic structures and the interaction of gravitational waves with matter. Liddle has been involved in both theoretical research and teaching, and he may have published numerous papers and books in his field.
Microcosm is a hypermedia system developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s at the University of Southampton in the UK. It was designed to facilitate the organization, retrieval, and navigation of interconnected information through various forms of media, such as text, images, audio, and video. Microcosm is notable for its emphasis on modularity and user interactivity, allowing users to create personalized pathways through information.
IBM Quantum Computing by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
The term "IBM Q" has been used in some promotional material as of 2020, e.g.: www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/topic/0TO50000000227pGAA/ibm-q-quantum-computing?language=en_US though the fuller form "IBM Quantum Computing" is somewhat more widely used.
IBM System/360 by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
This is a family of computers. It was a big success. It appears that this was a big unification project of previous architectures. And it also gave software portability guarantees with future systems, since writing software was starting to become as expensive as the hardware itself.
Andrew Turberfield is a prominent figure in the field of nanotechnology and molecular biology. He is known for his work on DNA nanomachines and the development of DNA-based devices. Turberfield has contributed significantly to the understanding of how DNA can be used to construct nanoscale structures and execute programmed functions, effectively bridging the gap between biology and engineering at the molecular level.
Idaho stop by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
The traffic is designed for cars, which makes many red stops for bicycles completely stupid.
In a bicycle you just have too much more control and awareness than in a car, so if the way is completely clear, you should be allowed to stop, look if the way is clear, and then run reds.
Of course, this does increase the chances of hitting pedestrians a little bit. But the risk change feels so little that it would be worth it. Studies quoted by Wikipedia corroborate. It just feels extremely unintuitive to make cyclists stop in certain places when the street is clear.

Identity matrix by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Andy Parker is a physicist known for his work in the field of particle physics and cosmology. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of phenomena such as dark matter and the early universe. One of his notable achievements is his involvement in the scientific community's discussions and research surrounding the nature of dark energy and its implications for the universe's expansion. Parker is also recognized for his advocacy for science education and public engagement, encouraging interest in physics among the general public.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
