Until it's provided I would assume that it's a gross misrepresentation/exaggeration.

Correction: The lattice spacing gives the size of the fundamental building block of the lattice, which includes several atoms. The nearest neighbour distance in the lattice is 0.235 nm. Wikipedia has a nice picture of the lattice structure:

But the covalent radius is not the crucial property here, the silicone lattice spacing is, and that's 0.5nm so a 2nm wide element is 4 atoms across.

Federation prevents experimenting, iterating and developing the protocol forward. Yes there are all sort of workarounds like protocol extensions and what have you not, but then you add massive new friction to the system ("No sorry my c

I don't think the person being replied to necessarily meant that, but cultural is often used in this context as a racist term, as in: "Africans will always have many kids, it's their culture", where before the more overt

P.S.: > Just consider how accurate past population estimates have been. Uh, fairly accurate as far as I know? There were always bad extrapolations and naive papers and articles, but the state of the art predictions didn't do badly,

Actually my reading is that the uncertainty here is driven entirely mostly the uncertainty in the fertility rate. People living longer has a relatively linear effect on population, fertility is much stronger. By eyeball this uncertainty pro

This is absolutely incorrect, and you have no idea what you are talking about. There is no sensitive chaotic model behind this, it's completely straightforward dynamics. The fertility rate is about 2 kids per woman now. But the generat

This increase is essentially unavoidable at this point in time. It happens despite the fact that fertile couples now only reproduce at replacement rate. But older smaller generations get replaced by larger younger generations. There is a mu

You still can't define words to mean what you want them to. Common use of the term capitalism disagrees with you, and the use of the term in the posts you replied to does not align at all with your definitions, but with common usage.

Maybe not. Maybe these all are more like infrastructure companies rather than service/product providers. But then we should regulate them as infrastructure companies, too.

And no true Spartan... Some schools of thought use some weird notion of freedom to derive some abstract structure that has never been tried anywhere and claim it has some hypothetical properties. You want to call that "true capitalism&

But given that the PNG comparison was shown before an extensive discussion on how lossy encryption works by discarding detail that is hard to perceive it's entirely appropriate as a starting point for this article.

These are not "graphical proofs" in the sense of pictures that suggest patterns in mathatical relations. This is (or can be) a formal graphical language for (a branch of) mathematics. Like any formal language it's not self ev

I work on the research side on some Julia code for power grids, we're mostly focused on dynamics and transients, not load flow. GPUs are definitely on our radar, as are automatically extracted Jacobians. None of this is industry grade

Incredible work. Thank you everyone for the great release. This massively improves our usecase (sparse matrix equations) and I am looking forward to playing with it.

It does make sense in a mathematical context though. You might write something like p_S = \prod_{x \in S} x And then later find out that the set S contains one element. Or it might even be the empty set in which case you'd interpret th

No, by left in the dust they mean plummeting usage numbers. It seems your priorities are not well aligned with those of the majority of users...
