I worked on a seismic monitoring system for civil engineering structures. We recorded data at 200 Hz (though all the interesting content is in the zero to 15 Hz range). Once I tried this experiment with some of the data from a bridge in a h

At the very least it sounds like a good way to avoid getting what you need from that official.

Bicycle stability is well studied. As long as the bicycle continues to travel above the critical speed and on a flat surface without obstruction, it will remain upright given it was constructed of a stable design.

No, the ones and zeros are irrelevant, but like "leaves of three, let it be" you won't accidentally identify something as intelligent, just like you won't accidentally identify a plant as safe to touch. In both cases, t

To date, all systems composed of ones and zeros are not generally intelligent.

A few weeks ago I installed the browser plugin Intention on my workstation. It has been great, having a reminder that I am getting distracted and being given the option to be distracted on purpose for a limited amount of time.

Why? I understood the audio to be proof that it is a Gray code?

Fuel taxes are a major source of funding, but depending on state it is not even the majority. California sits at about 50% funding by fuel tax [1]. Road wear does not scale linearly with vehicle weight either; larger vehicles add significan

Do you have some others in mind? I have one for rice: buy California produced rice. Other rice producing parts of the country were historic cotton farming regions, which continue to have significant pesticide residue. California rice will p

Slack does a good job with threading. The side panel allows you to watch a thread while you continue another conversation. It also puts together an above average notification system, where at a glance you can see if there is no new content,

Do you have a recommendation for a good microwave? Mine is at least 15 years old and was bottom shelf when new.

I find zoom chat to be reminiscent of AIM, it does not have the afforances that make slack a good business communication tool.

I thankfully kn ew about their business practices before I started buying lable printers. I use zebra, and buy used or gray market imports of their cheaper models. They are affordable and just keep going.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the difference I see is that SpaceX is spending money they earned from NASA rather than being given money to develop a product.

I stopped channel surfing the day we got a digital box. I used to be pretty fast on the remote with the keypad, and could cycle through a number of channels. I forgot how disappointing that digital box was.

I love it. Unlike many machine learning examples this one does not highlight how good the model is, but highlights how poor the source material often is. Many of these are completely believable covers.

I have felt some of this. I setup zoom meetings occasionally with coworkers that I used to chat in the hallway with. It is a nice way to keep the connections, and despite the purpose of just shooting the breeze, usually some productive disc

As I understand the theory here is that humans develop antibodies against the parts that mutate making our immune system ineffective, while a vaccine could teach the immune system a better part to identify against.

I would never have known that the painting was pasted in had I not read it here. I have been contemplating watching the movie again, maybe I should wait another year or two first. Now I want to pay more attention to this detail.

Pure conjecture: steak knives are sharpened knives. It is easy to grind an edge that terminates in a point than a flat. Compare the detail of the blade near the handle to the point, the point is much more precise. I think it also helps symb

This has happened to me in the past. Now I always make sure to damage the paper and avoid putting it in the scanner straight. Bend a corner, wrinkle it a little, and select the image mode on the scanner to avoid the background looking too c

In China there are hot water bags with integrated heating elements and thermostatic cutoff. I'm sure they are a single failure away from a steam explosion, but very convenient. I used some while visiting family in the winter.

I have long thought that safety related fines should go to cover people harmed by those accidents. Hit by running a red light, receive some compensation from the red light ticket fund.

I don't drink that much, though it goes up and down over time. I do have a few rules I follow: I never drink on Mondays. I take January as a month of sobriety. The Monday rule is two fold. First it is a weekly check on alcohol seeking
