This is a (quite clever) comment on a physics theory that we know to be incomplete. Not a comment on reality. And the math does check out. There really are many solutions to this system, i.e. it is nondeterministic under the theory.

And there absolutely is a need to sensationalize. This is a big problem and requires serious political will, whether to pull off mass cloud seeding, make more sun/nuclear energy or reduce the usage of something important like air trave

The universe is continuous (both spatially and time-wise) in Newtonian mechanics.

It's a fairly common term in many languages. It just means "English speaking nations". It's similar to "caucasian" meaning white (who cares any more that they crossed the Caucasus? but the term sticks).

Because he is just starting, so it will be a lot easier to pick up the many usual signals that exist pretty much everywhere. Like broadcast, police/emergency radio, pagers, aircraft comms or data, satellites, HF communication, ...

You can cover lots of strong signals with any basic (inappropriate) antenna. And if you want something cheap that tunes then get a telescope dipole, and set the length correctly (and maybe also polarization). In either case, height / c

There's a lot of interesting things in the spectrum, and the RTL-SDR costs only $50-$100. I don't see why not just buy it and then figure out what to do with it. Poor analogy.

How long will this forking continue until someone ports it to Soapy SDR? :)

I don't think you can explain anything about GPT in such simple terms. I was speaking from experience.

A.k.a. the system prompt. (system prompts can also wear off, btw, but slower).

Ketamine is a valid therapy in Switzerland, but it's close to the end of what the medical system can offer. Along with electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Doctors do not recommend it for me yet (due to the

The more I learn about my depression the more I realize just how underdeveloped medicine is in this area. Everything that the author writes is true, some psychiatrists will even admit as much - i.e. that standard treatments such as psychoth

The variety of psychotherapeutic approaches is discussed in the article. You can just ctrl+f for "cognitive behavioral".

by H8crilA 3y ago
Yeah exactly. In particular a flow of current (movement of electrons or other charged particles, measured in Amperes) is not required for energy transfer, though it is a part of the efficient way of energy transfer via conductors/wires

You can invalidate the circuit theory with, well perhaps not $50 worth of hardware, but a bit more: https://youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0 I'm not sure how do you plan to invalidate Maxwell's theory, which shows that energy

by H8crilA 3y ago
No. DC energy also flows around the wire. And I mean around, entirely outside of the conductor, not in the skin or anything like that. In particular it's not the electrons that carry the energy, though they can receive it from the fiel

by H8crilA 3y ago
Circuit theory is demonstrably wrong. The energy doesn't flow inside of a wire, it flows around the wire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY

by H8crilA 3y ago
Both are always there if the circuit is running. Also, both E and M fields are required to transport any power using electricity. This is also true for DC current. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector - th

I think the point is that some people don't acquire it within 5 or even more years. Think of a typical checked-out worker, without any specific ambition in professional life. There's plenty of people like that.

See "new visits" in the first chart. You can reduce the window for extra clarity. Something very specific must have happened in that week, nothing that can be explained with a "grand theory of decay".

I don't understand your point. Do you know that major tech companies saw a near 100% reduction of successful phishing attacks after adding yubikeys? The population there is hardly uneducated, yet they still had quite a few break-ins. S

I don't think that explains it. Many Green voters experience some sort of self-hatered, they claim humanity is a disease, etc. In particular many voters do not want nuclear power at all.

by H8crilA 3y ago
I don't know what are you talking about. They have literally just pressured the ruling coalition to shut down all remaining nuclear power plants.

Precisely the point. It's a good test of commitment when someone is asked to give up something (in this case a very small increase of the probability of causing a problem) in return for climate improvements.
