"Perturb and observe" is a great method for optimizing some things, but it relies on the assumption that input changes to the system are perfectly reversible. Slash and burn is the method of choice when your goal is to wipe out th

I'm curious to know from someone who understands better- isn't this the kind of volatility that futures markets are intended to prevent? If actual product movement has changed significantly then is it just that this moment is espe

100% agree. Killing is a violent act. If you are unable to look at your actions as they are, if you must paralyze a man so he does not yell and moan as he dies, you have lost the moral authority to take his life.

Tbh I'm not at all worried about any of the party drugs you mentioned. If you took 1mg of each of those, at the same time you would feel about the same as you do after a cup of coffee (the amphetamines are relevant at that dose, MDMA&#

Great points Some (very rough) numbers to give scale here: Corn in the US covered ~90 million acres in 2024. Something like 40% of that gets turned into ethanol IIRC. Based on solar capacity figures around ~200GW, the surface area of the PV

Math doesn't have the same limitations on dimensionality that our brains and the space that we interact with do. A line becomes a square becomes a cube becomes a hypercube, and so forth.

I think you're exactly right. It makes me wonder what the actual development, testing and manufacturing costs for it were. Clearly there was some tooling made, see the castings. Also makes me wonder if we'll start to see some lase

before you bag on this, try to ask some questions like: - who is this product trying to reach? - what does it do well? - what do it's designers know that I don't? If you see something that strikes you as weird, there's a reas
