No, iirc that statement is for the part of the sun where fusion actually happens. Per volume, not a lot fusions happen in the plasma on the sun. The crux is that the volume of the compost heap grows order cubed to the radius, while the area

That does not seem right, we have literal oceans of hydrogen?

That is a bit his schtick. He himself feels like he has been the victim of an anglo-centered science history (one might debate about that), so he is retelling how the story could work if you put less focus the anglo-part. To me, it seems li

It's a questionnaire from 2019, so before corona [0]. It actually has quite a large number of respondents. I was originally skeptical (no significance levels in the paper), but I reckon they knew what they were doing? I found the follo

But in that model you would not see a uniform distribution of objects within your field of view. It's observably anisotropic, while we observe the universe to be isotropic.

Russia seems unstable. Putin is what keeps the pyramid system together, but as all humans he will eventually die. And when that happens, it is unclear what Scandinavia can expect from its neighbour. You should not wait to start being afraid

Why? Because different frequencies are linearly independent and shouldn't affect eachother? That is only true for linear systems. I am not sure what causes the other sounds to sound dampened, I figured it had something to do with how t

It affected everyone in the room and to a lesser extent the next rooms over if the door was open. Obviously, we did not shelve it right away since there seemed to be no permanent effect. Some people were really creeped out after they had be

The context is building a robot for a sumo competition in university. By this time I am towards the end of my Phd, and regular strategies don't cut it anymore. We want to show off. Since many of these robots use ultrasound locators bas

How do you know it is nothing more? Why wouldn't awareness emerge from a large amount of correlation?

What I find the more useful comparison, is to compare the poor of a country, to the median income of other countries. That puts the US bottom decile household at $10800 slightly below the median Malaysian, Russian, Ukrainian or Mexican hous

No, as I understand it, the network does not need to be transmitted. The decoder learns on the same stream as the encoder, so you do not need to transmit network parameters.

Out of curiosity, did you play the game? To me, it is hard to imagine someone would find the game to look less fake.

Probably yes. Alternatively, it shows that the road textures used in GTA V were not very apt for their job. I do think the smoother ones look considerably more realistic.

For one, it will be a lot faster to compute. For two, it is a lot less laborious work to set up, which does not scale with the size of the world like PBR, but only with performance. So where previously, you needed a lot of designers to make

ah, that is where the curvature of spacetime comes in. That field is curved between both observers on each side of the earth, because there is a massive object between them: the earth. So the field is going radially inwards towards the cent

Same thing? For each of them, they see themselves non-accelerating with respect to the gravitational field. But they do see the soil accelerating towards them against the gravitational field. Why is the soil not in free-fall? Because it fee

People can and do make computer simulations of particle interactions? It's just that 12 dimensional PDE's are not exactly fast, but we can e.g. use them to compute the dipole moment of fundamental particles like muons. Think of it

It is called academic publishing, and some people manage to make a career out of it! But yes, all three parts of that name have a well established technical meaning. It is a very descriptive name, once you know all the parts.

Yes, but turning the tape in a supermagnet that is reliable and doesn't burn itself to pieces on every quench event is non-trivial.

Well, it is all contingent on someone getting high temperature superconductors to work on an industrial reliability level. If they manage, we will have power producing fusion (though probably not economically viable). It is a big if, though

You write as if "equal" is the objective correct way to distribute. It is a really fun experiment which they replicated in different cultures and got vastly different results. Even both extremes of the spectrum are good ways to de

I speak for myself here, but it is not that I would recommend against talking in principle. Only, in practice the system is set up for talking to be universally a bad idea. If the system puts in place some better checks and balances for peo
