I see infinity all the time. Go look at a one point perspective drawing.

People assign responsibility to "agents" in contracts to wash their hands of thins in various ways all the time, and it usually works. Wait is this still about AI?

Kurt Godel rather famously claimed to have spotted logical contradictions in the US constitution, which of course is not too controversial on its own (and was probably right given who he is), but presenting this argument in response to ques

There's only two ways one could have been contradicting information from the WHO which was later revised prior to them revising it. Either: 1. They really did have some insight or insider knowledge which the WHO missed and they spoke o

This is so cool. So if they used twists of steel wires or similar as string for the white parts, they could have a functional circuit.

Adding to this, I think people naturally confuse / extrapolate a universe that appears to have discritized / computational laws with the discritized simulations and computations we use to approximate our (previously assumed contin

There are things that are wrong and there are things that are crimes and it is up to those on the bench to appreciate the difference.

I'll just add that this has certain other interesting legal implications, because records in relation to a therapy session are a "protected confidence" (or whatever your local jurisdiction calls it). What that means is in mos

Surprisingly I can't seem to find any doors with notices from the sheriffs department or building department embarrassingly plastered on them. Am I misremembering how these are phrased verbatim or are certain things censored?

If length of ones writing is a measure of irrationality, everyone who's ever written a thesis must be absolutely unhinged.

Probably what you want is "numerical methods" and "computational physics". "Physical simulation" is a very broad scope, so your code for simulating fluids is going to be very different from your code for simula

The 3 minute minimum is based on the premise that there needs to be enough space for the front of the train behind to stop before reaching the rear of the train ahead. But if the stations are split into two boarding areas like I've pro

It can work on a subway system because there are skip-stop service patterns on J/Z line in New York. In terms of needing extra track, that's the brilliant part of it. Even though the different services all make different stops in

by IIAOPSW 1y ago
Simplifying a bit, its because the train behind can be scheduled 3 min after the train ahead has pulled in rather than 3 min after the train ahead pulled out. Put another way, the safe stopping distance to maintain (while at speed) would be

Admittedly my calculations did not take walking-on-platform time into account, but what I have been assuming (based on figures I've looked up) is that each stop adds about 60 seconds to the journey time (30 seconds for dwell + 15 on ei

yeah, what I have in mind is a variation / generalization of skip-stop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip-stop

Something I've been thinking about lately is short trains but long platforms. Basically, you split the length of the trains in half and then split the platform into two boarding areas. In this way trains can be scheduled even closer to

Oh sure there's actus rea, but good luck proving mechanica rea.

But, you're not really rejecting my example, you're proving it. The human ability to generalize the concept of a 2d platformer is limited to a very narrow range of "intuitive" generalizations that have deeply baked assum

There's something fascinating about this, because the human ability to "transfer knowledge" (eg pick up some other never before seen video game and quickly understand it) isn't really that general. There's a very

You know, I find myself thinking the same thing sometimes. And the closest I can think of would be some mapping of force transmitted through linkages on to current transmitted through wires and from there its the same formalism as electroni

There seems to be a recency bias, as the odds of our present day politicians all being as historically important as the rest of the list is unlikely. Makes sense that things of recent media attention are higher priority for translation, irr

For the sake of null hypothesis, how far and wide has the second most translated article reached? Is it also an (apparently) random stub?

Right, but its still impossible for any meetings to be back to back (and by extension for any person to be in back to back meetings) if the rooms holding them can't be booked back to back.
