There are some situations where the business owners are correct, especially if their competitors are permitted to tack on extra fees at checkout. Sometimes it is necessary to establish a global rule to prevent prisoner's-dilemma defect

We may not yet have had the war that ends all wars. Whenever I think about protecting the environment, I think about preventing the catastrophes that are wars.

No time to elaborate at the moment. Just want to say that this is extremely exciting news. Finding the thorium line is one of the most important open problems in precision/fundamental measurement.

Tides depend on both the moon and sun. So does the phase of the moon. Tides are largest at full moon and new moon, when their gravity gradients combine to enhance each other's tides. A week later, their gravity gradients interfere, dec

I don't know how much the publisher made in revenue from each cartridge. $0.50 might have been 5% of revenue?

It leads to balkanization -- see Google's total withdrawal from China. As a consumer, I recently selected a new device in large part because its cloud-affiliated software (and bespoke operating system) was written, stored, and administ

General Relativistic time differences come primarily from differences in gravitational potential, not field-strength. Thus, it is impossible to perform the suggested procedure. We don't (and probably can't) know what zero potentia

To do so is to redefine the second on the moon. That redefines the Watt, the Joule, the Newton, the Ampere, the Pascal, the Becquerel, etc. It even makes a voltmeter read incorrectly. Moon-meters would be different from Earth-meters. Carefu

TAI doesn't help. Observers on Earth and the Moon will forever disagree about the other's duration of a second (unless they account for the relativity corrections that make them appear to be different).

It isn't just the speed/shape of the orbit. The gravitational potential difference is a major factor.

Clean and efficient web (for consumers) isn't terribly profitable. Craigslist could make a lot more money, especially in the short-term, with different design and monetization choices.

Is a layman's interpretation of this to state: LLMs tend to perform like aggregated humanity, but any given human will differ. Since all the volume of a high-dimensional sphere is at the edge, almost nobody is like the mean, so the fal

Working with partners who have integrity is a massive boost to everything you do. People with high integrity attract more people with high integrity, compounding that effect.

Find a nice used EF 400 f/5.6L. It's hard to know what to write about it, except to say that it's great and has been a reliable companion for years.

Then one should be very careful when assigning 99.9% confidence intervals.

I would self-host on a cloud instance for a monthly fee if it required no maintenance overhead from me. I might also self-host if residential ISPs didn't treat home servers as an aberration.

A position espoused by Bill Phillips [1], and to which I now adhere: "You should be willing to take either side of the bet that confidence interval implies." (paraphrasing; he says it better). For a concrete example, with a 95% co
