Nice example! But yes, I agree. My field is certainly not astronomy but... that method to remove noise seems extremely weird. XKCD-level joke weird. Even in the rebuttal arxiv paper cited here where they use a 3rd degree poly to remove the

The HP-15c I was handed down from my dad certainly is a testament of (1). The thing will just keep going.

Not only the icon, but the messages now have a color gradient that changes when scrolling as well... it's really strange.

I agree, in my lab our typical solution is a MATLAB/Python routine managing the simulations (submitting to a cluster, gathering the results, producing a report via LaTeX, changing some parameters, submitting again...) but these routine

One of the issues when using PCA (or POD, Karhunen-Loève expansion... whatever your field calls it) on a dataset is that it optimizes the spectral content of each mode to obtain the best possible orthonormal basis for the reconstruction, so

I agree with the concern about crew qualification, but maybe at least convert the worst offenders? The Guardian said [1] that "just 15 of the world's biggest ships may now emit as much pollution as all the world's 760m cars&q

The US Navy has safely operated hundreds of marine nuclear reactors for 70+ years without any major issue. The technology is there if we actually wanted to stop polluting the planet.

Consider however that a modern sailship needs a thermal engine for practical and safety reasons: you want to be able to avoid storms, calm periods or inconvenient winds that can make you drift hundreds of miles from your original destinatio

We really don't need this concept to work out in order to have clean shipping. We've had the technology for 70+ years, we just haven't implemented it because oil-fired ships are cheaper: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Not only that, when I order clothes from Amazon they always come in a special plastic bag which is already prepared for re-sealing and return, instead of their signature cardboard boxes. I guess the industry knows that the only way to sell

My Kindle is old so there wasn't ad-supported versions back then, but my GF's Kindle does have ads, and they're almost always terrible, terrible books, displayed full-size in the sleep screen. We joke that they try to shame y

Precisely Amazon is one of the few companies that make this explicit with their Kindle, here the Paperwhite without ads costs 10€ extra. I'm curious, does anyone know other examples?

This is the main issue of macroeconomics as a science. There is not a "control Germany" subjected to the same history that the actual one, that can be observed in parallel to ascertain if a macroeconomic policy is beneficial or no

I am sad that when the article explains the joke names and affiliations they missed that one of the authors is apparently based in Ankh Morpork. The Unseen University needs to pump up that impact factor!
