Newton grew up in a world where 12 inches made a foot, three feet made a yard, Two yards (or six feet) made a fathom, five and a half yards made a pole, four poles made a chain; ten chains made a furlong and 8 furlongs made a mile. He would have measured masses: 16 drachms made 1 ounce, 16 ounces made 1 pound and 14 pounds made a stone. Two stone was a quarter and 4 quarters (112 pounds) made a hundredweight and 20 hundredweight made a ton. He was, for a while, Master of the Mint so he understood that you got four farthings to the penny, 12 pennies to a shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. He also knew about guineas (twenty-one shillings). He must, therefore, have been able to do arithmetic in bases 3,4,5.5,6, 8, 10, 12, 14 ,16 20 and 21. You can add 60 to the list, since he will have worked in minutes and seconds (of arc and of time). Given that he was bright and numerate, he would probably been able to figure in gross (144) too. His published works would have included the Roman and Arabic numeral systems. So why would the question "Did Issac Newton know about numeral systems?" lead to ? The answer is obviously "yes". A batter question might be "will we ever teach "CuriousOne" about number bases?"

No. We don't use "numeral systems in calculus"... Numeral system is just a way to display numbers.. 1) computers don't compute calculus by themselves. They execute program written in machine code. 2) computers are programmable, so programmer is responsible for making code which is doing something the programmer wants. 3) computers have just a basic set of math instructions. Add, subtract, multiply, divide, and, or, xor, not, sin, cos. Nothing complex. Actually, you don't need to have multiply, divide, sin or cos instructions in CPU at all. Old CPUs (e.g. Motorola 6502/6510) did not have them, but programmer still could simulate these operations. 4) you don't need computer to compute by yourself. He had a brain... and a sheet of paper... and a pencil... Doubtful.

(My emphasis.) All science is cartography. Get over it. But not anyone can build it. And thin air is not its substance. It's what the engineer does when trying to predict the behaviour of a device, and calibrate its parameters. It's what the biologist does when trying to understand the functions an interrelations of organisms. It's what the computer scientist does when trying to simulate a system with code. And it's what a physicist or a chemist does when trying to understand how particles and fields work. The very concept of particles and fields are cartographic references. And I'm damn happy that we have them. Otherwise we'd be lost in a bleak world. --- I'm sorry I can't react more today, as there were two brilliant comments before mine. LOL.

I told you, and it's in bold letters. Are you saying I'm no-one, or are you saying I didn't tell you? Which one is it?

Because you couldn't be farther off the mark. That's not what bases are about. I and others have been telling you until we're blue in the mouth. You're using the oldest trick of the game, which is non-sequitur. It's as if someone tells you, "Mountains arise from mechanical tensions and thermal processes in the Earth's interior" and you say, "Then why are elephants winged creatures?" 1st) Elephants are not winged creatures (a false premise embedded in a question is called a sophism) 2nd) The question does not follow from the previous statement at all (that's called a non-sequitur) If you think for a moment most users here don't see right away what you're trying to do, you're quite wrong. You're not discussing in good faith. It's not about disagreement. It's about you not being intellectually honest. You're free to keep playing your game for as long as you want, but you're just calling for action from the mods and very justified annoyance from other users. Have a good day.

Any positive integer. Why not read about it and find out, rather than guessing badly. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(mathematics)

That is a wider description than the one in the attached paper. I stress this because any hint I may give regarding an approach depends on what type of problem you try to solve. Are you using opcode sequence as in the paper?

Just so that we do not waste time; you are still looking at the problem in the paper: usage of smart contract opcode sequence as input for our learning a model to detect security threats. That specific problem, not some other variant, Ok?

Yes. But CNN may not be applicable to the problem you have posted.

Convolutional Neural Network. In deep learning, a convolutional neural network (CNN, or ConvNet) is a class of deep neural networks, most commonly applied to analyzing visual imagery. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional_neural_network) A glossary with machine learning terms: https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/glossary

I realise this discussion of fission in stars is off-topic, but it is considerably more interesting than the OP and is, in contrast to that, actually science. I just wanted to nit-pick your wording. You say there "could be trace amounts of heavy elements". That should read "there must be trace amounts of heavy elements". If there were not then all our theories of stellar formation could be tossed onto a bonfire. The sun and planets are understood to have formed from the gravitational collapse of a portion of a molecular cloud. There is no known (or even postulated) mechanism that could have excluded the heavy elements (many of which went on to form planets, asteroids, moons, meteorites, etc,) from the sun. They must be there. (And spectral analysis confirms their presence.)

It's real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unary_numeral_system In the original use of the word, a "computer" was a person who did computations. That died out as mechanical and then electronic machines were developed to do these things. I'm not sure what computations Newton would have been doing. Calculus uses functions, and a lot of work can be done without doing any computations (i.e. no number manipulation)

As you say, it's not a first generation star, so there could be trace amounts of heavy elements (as MigL indicates). They make a negligible contribution to any energy release. Stars function via fusion of light elements.

Oh, base 1. What a great idea.

No. No. I just stated that with insufficient data the project will fail regardless of NN architecture. I do not how much you have studied the paper you provided and your level of knowledge about data processing so the following example may be obvious: Ok. And the paper states about the contracts: So for a sample of 20-30 contracts there will be on average less than one vulnerable contract. Very simplified we can say that using such a sample, where all objects are of one class (non vulnerable), to train the model you will end up with a model that classifies everything as belonging to that single class (non vulnerable). The above example is simplified and intentionally naive, imbalanced data is common in machine learning and not specific for the data in the paper.

I would have to agree again. All those fields of Government subsidised corn in the Mid-West, which goes to make bio-diesel, could be better put to use as Government subsidised solar panel farms. Why people 'see' one as Capitalist, and the other as Socialist ( or even Communist ), is totally down to the way it is spun by politicians ( for their own gain ).

No, we have all seen your posts and know that your level of mathematical understanding is 'middle' school level. You don't know any calculus, or even grasp limits; I don't think you can begin to do any QM ( where the fun is ), never mind the 'way it's used in our modern day and age' ( ? time of use makes a difference ? ). And you don't seem to understand the meaning of 'numerology'. ( did you even read the link; where does it mention 'respected' applications and domain ? ) How many times must you be told to ask questions regarding things you don't understand, if you want to be taken seriously ? And these aren't even advanced topics; you don't understand the basic building blocks on which the 'entry level' stuff is based. People have tried to help, but you ignore their advice; they're starting to lose patience with you.

I have no clue what you mean by any of this. This is one of the 'assertions' Swansont warned you about. If you don't understand a concept, or are unsure, ask the question; don't go jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions.

It looks to me like you don't know what "base" means here.

A 'constant' is constantly the same value; it does not change. The value of Pi is 3.141… in base 10 And 11.001… in base 2 The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter doesn't change in different number bases.

My apologies. I attributed your post to the OP. I can't even plead lack of sleep as an excuse.

Yes sorry if I wasn’t clear initially. You asked for guidance on building this LSTM but that’s a big ask and I was advising you to implement smaller networks on your own to build the knowledge and intuition required to implement this paper. An LSTM is four networks so building CNN is definitely a first step regardless. In the process you may find a simpler network (or combination of) will suffice for the problem you are trying to solve. In general if you are wanting help implementing something it needs to be smaller than a research paper. At least take a first pass at it and come back when you run into trouble or get stumped. As it is it seems like asking someone to do quite a bit of work for you instead of helping.

Just to clear something up. The number itself is the same whatever "base" you use to represent it. It is the representation in each different base that will be different. It is often proposed that primitive Man started off with base 10 because he had 10 fingers and counted on them. This proposal actually runs counter to archeological evidence which suggests that different primitive Men tried different base systems in different places and finally more sophisticated Man settled on the 10 base because he had 10 fingers and still counted on them. Also you have introduced physical units; these are quite separate from the numbers themselves. The volume of my glass of beer is the same whether I measure in in pints, litres, quarts, hogsheads or US gallons. But the number representation in each unit system. This is perhaps where you should be thinking twice.

I am sure they are grateful for the credit you are giving them.

Two interesting devlopments today. 1) Trials of a combination/cocktail of the Astra - Zeneca (Oxford) and Russian (Sputnik) vaccines are to be held. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55273907 2) Progress on the gnetic basis for severity of covid infections. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54832563 Finally an interesting story of a Cholera vaccine pioneer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-55050012

Just so that we do not waste time; you are looking at the problem in the paper: usage of smart contract opcode sequence as input for our learning a model to detect security threats. Ok? That specific problem, not some other variant, Ok? Did you look at my follow up to that, in the context of the paper you provided? I do not claim there is no simpler solution to the problem described in the paper. I say that the authors of the paper seem to have come to the conclusion that for the specific problem they worked on they found that simpler* solutions did not do perform well. @PoetheProgrammer's response** is perfectly fine in a more general context and may be the result of a different approach the researchers in the paper used. If you extract other features from the data than they did in the paper, for instance some feature that is not a sequence, then other NN models or architectures may very well be used. Some of those could be simpler but could have other drawbacks. I would not do that. If there is insufficient data to train and test the model then the project is going to fail, no need to waste time. Unless there are some alternative model that would solve the problem with the limited amount of data you have. Why? More hidden layers the what? Simpler than what? More hidden layers than what? *) Again; "simpler" is relative. I use the word as it is used in the paper; a Markov chain or 3-gram model is simpler than a LSTM model. **) From what I've seen so far PoetheProgrammer have more knowledge than me in these topics. If my reply (unintentionally) contradicts them I would give Poethe's response more weight.

Probably depends on how we define religion. I'm of the perspective that basic religious tendencies began well before human primates, and we also know that group control and power is seen throughout the animal kingdom. Religion for a wolf could be something simple like, "don't go into the grey's territory or we'll lose our pups" and could include teachings like, "if you respect this set of trees, they will feed you with bunny rabbits when it gets cold." That just evolves into the more formalized stuff we have today (abrahamic and more eastern philosophies alike). Those "teachings" and "codes of behavior" very much were spread through war mentalities because animals kill those who don't subscribe to the "this is my land, bee-atch!!" dogma... Haha... dog-ma...about wolves. I'm in town all week, folks. More like a wave... Dim is a wave/particle duality/complimentarity kinda guy... 😁

I missed that the forum handles backlash + parenthesis specially. I meant: \(regexp\)

Simply, it is not true. Regular expression has some special characters with special meanings. "U" is not one of them. It is normal letter from point of view of regex. https://www.google.com/search?q=regular+expression+special+characters "In the regex flavors discussed in this tutorial, there are 12 characters with special meanings: the backslash \, the caret ^, the dollar sign $, the period or dot ., the vertical bar or pipe symbol |, the question mark ?, the asterisk or star *, the plus sign +, the opening parenthesis (, the closing parenthesis ), (....)"

(text) creates "capturing group", which can be referenced during replacing by e.g. $1, $2 etc. (or other following digit) Use one of many on-line regular expressions debuggers, if you have any objections. Like this one for example: https://regex101.com/

That's ok if you want to continue to Mess with me. The post was not vague: I'm talking about the Redness of Red in the Visual Experience, the A-ness of the Standard A Tone, and the Saltiness of the Salty Taste. From Philosophy it would be the Qualia of Redness, A-ness, and Saltiness. It is the thing that you Experience in your Mind as a result of the Neural Processing. Let me read this for you: "I'm talking about the Redness of Red in the Visual Experience, the A-ness of the Standard A Tone, and the Saltiness of the Salty Taste. From Philosophy it would be the Qualia of Redness, A-ness, and Saltiness." No mention of "Heat". I specifically said what it is that I am looking for. For you to bring up Heat means you cannot read three sentences and put the thoughts together from them.

I can totally relate, "trust me." If you don't know of any "from your science to knowledge endeavours" then its pointless telling you. Well then, when ever you want to share your "perfect" world where everyone is equal, loving healthy, "all get paid equally for their jobs, "where women are not objects of sex but rather thinkers like everyone else" and everywhere you go others have not one single judgement on you---------> please let "the rest of us foolish people" know the location...lol...

When you say "numerolgy" do you mean "number theory" or any other cryptography field? I just want to make sure we are on the same track....I use cryptography as it has numerous applications especially dealing with QM, in my opinion its where all the fun is at... Oh my, have i said too much now...🤣🤣🤣

Understood...."But" it does have its own respected applications in it's own "domain."

So you "truly" think every member in science forums around the entire world "never" take ideas from other member's posts for their own private endeavours that never give credit at-least to the science forum and its member?? Especially when those post are "public?" It's ok to say yes, but it does not mean im wrong.

Are You 100% Sure On This?? Understood but: Counting by base 10= 10, 20, 30 Counting by base 2 = 2, 4, 6 Is this correct?

Stop diverging my "question" its ok if you do not know the answer and please refrain the awkward and bizarre philosophy its not working with me anymore... With this said, its hard to believe that trigonometry can be used with any base numeral system when considering "magnatude and direction" acceleration and all other angle based relationships in regards to time...

That information was directly out of computer science books the "while and if statements" uses a string of number, 6556444 or a string of text dghggh and assigns a value of 0 to 1 to the string variable it creates a "length" or distances..

They were questioning the existence of the Visual Screen, or in other terms, the Conscious Light Screen. The experiment is: to follow the instructions in my post with regard to finding your Screen. If you follow the instructions are you able to see the Screen? Then, where do you perceive the Screen to be located? Each individual person must prove the existence of the Screen for themselves. I can only give the steps for doing this. But I am interested in the perceptions of people about this. I make no further claims except that the Screen is there embedded in the front of our faces. I don't claim any theories for what it is, so no theories are required from me about that. I am however open to all theories or other proposals of experiments that anyone might have. It may be silly but it is still there staring you in the face. Actually, it is helping you stare out into the external world. I explained exactly how to find your own Conscious Light Screen. It's not a story it is an Experiment that anyone can do. It can have negative results where you don't actually perceive the Screen, but among the vast majority of people I have surveyed over the years there is agreement that this Screen actually appears embedded in front of our faces as I have described. Also, people that were initially scoffers eventually calmed down and performed the steps that I listed and they ultimately also agreed that the Screen is as I said it was.

Wait a moment here... Calculus is very advanced algebra and geometry, that uses a ratio "ie" derivative between at least 2 "observations." In other words its trigonometry based. "Unless of coarse" its pi based, another word for tri based...What ever it is at this point it's truly a mixture of things.. So you speak for everyone right?? Its called: P O L I T I C A L C O R R E C T N E S S Stop cyber bullying me...and stop instigating others to make fun of my posts..

It was on my thread plain and simple.. please "keep" these comments off my threads as they are "polluting" my focus. I already "passed" my 24 hour chat box or e-bot test..

This is exactly what I was looking for.. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter does not change in different bases.. """""IT'S BASE MUST BE INFINITE???""""" But as far as typical bases goes.. Example using some random numbers here.. 111.000 is base 3 ? 7656.0877 is base 4 ? 6567566.099 is base 7 ? Etc etc?? "base" is another word for distance... """"""Base 10 must be special""""""🤣😂 No Wonder!

Neither does anyone else for that matter, as bases seize to exists through the use of pi ratio....

I don't use practical math for my personal endeavours if that's what you mean. I read about numerolgy eons ago... Let me know what part you did not comprehend... Copied and pasted for the 2nd time.

No, the number is geometry based, and it looks like it's in 3d looks like oragami.. On another note, I'm seeking legal advice on cyber bullying...There are some members here that are purposely creating problems for me making it very hard for a scientific conversation..
