>centripetal force relative to movement around Earth you shouldn't get acceleration from this. If there is no acceleration, then how are objects changing direction?

by RC_ITR 3y ago
Direction is a fundamental aspect of acceleration, no? I'm also not asking about what our brains are conditioned to feel. I am simply asking - is the constant acceleration of orbit fundamentally different than no acceleration, even if

One of the things I've always been curious about - gravity is still very much exerting force on things in orbit, it's just that the object is moving along the perpendicular axis just as fast. For someone smarter at physics than

How? iPhones were assembled in the PRC, not Taiwan (though interestingly, Foxconn the owner of both the PRC and India plants, is Taiwanese).

Having an old navy in a tourist corridor that does a very bad job of serving local residents is your metric of whether a place is a healthy city or not? I’m sure all those AI specialists will flee now that they can’t get fast fashion jorts

The problem of these articles is that they lean too far into kicking SF while it’s down, since it felt so invincible before. Same kind of journalism happened in the early 2000s. The problem is that they don’t recognize cyclicality. Arguably

I assume you mean: The conversion alone might cost about $400 or $500 per usable square foot, Mr. Bernstein added, and would in many cases be more expensive than building a new development. A recent Moody’s analysis of New York offices fou

I really can't emphasize enough that residential in SF generates $55/sqft/year, which in almost every US market outside NYC, is more than you get for commercial anyway. If SF commercial generates meaningfully less than $55&#

We just fundamentally disagree if your argument is tearing down high-rises is cheaper than retrofitting them. In the history of mankind we've only every voluntarily demolished like 30 buildings higher than 35 stories for that exact

WeWork at it's core was a bet that 'if we lock in 30-year mortgages at market rates, office rent inflation will mean that in 2045, we will have significant cost advantages.' You can argue the pandemic merely accelerated remot

The alternatives are building a building from scratch while these offices sit empty, no? Certainly you must agree retrofits are cheaper than building an entire new building. Also fyi, SF isn’t even allowing gas in new buildings anymore.

by RC_ITR 3y ago
This is actually one of the reasons SF is so well positioned to do this - our floorplates are notoriously small. Take these new buildings for example: SF Offices: - Salesforce Tower: 1.4mn square feet over 61 floors (23k sqft/floor) -

Some interesting stray observations about this: 1) SF actually has a hard cap on the amount of new office space it can develop in a given year. [0] A lot of people pre-pandemic called it one of the worst NIMBY laws in America, but in retros

On first principles, there's no reason that the cost of transporting trash to the incinerator is any less carbon intensive than transporting trash to a landfill. Maybe people prefer incinerators in their community over landfills in t

Burning anything is never the right answer in a world of climate change. We are scrambling to find ways to capture atmospheric carbon and store it underground and burning garbage is literally the opposite of that.

Or (at least in the US), we will simply stop doing things like growing alfalfa in the desert to feed cows being raised in Texas. Sure beef will be a little more expensive but… You’re actually right. We’ll probably burn garbage and radio hos

Disney Forward primarily seeks to build in Disney-owned surface parking lots. In practice, this would about double the size of the current park (The detailed drawing represent the new areas, which are currently parking lots) I guess we disa

Actually looking at the plans, it becomes clear that Disney is looking to replace surface parking with other uses. I think very few Californians are against converting surface parking into workplaces. I'm also unclear how this is &#x27

My understanding of both this and Apple AFT is that they are trained with attention, but then inference is done as an RNN. Is your understanding different?
