I don’t feel like reading what is probably AI generated content. But based on looking at the model fits where hyperbolic models are extrapolating from the knee portion, having 2 data points fitting a line, fitting an exponential curve to a

Why does it matter if it's not for consumer applications? GNSS is used for many more applications (and arguably more critical) than consumer applications (agriculture, mapping & surveying, aeronautics, shipping, etc.) Also just wan

India is very different than Europe. It would be difficult to attribute outcomes between the 2 countries to just this single difference without considering the many other differences.

The financialization of everything to extract incremental value is exhausting. I feel its also very detrimental to society when every positive interaction has to involve money. Go to a theme park: buy a ticket. Then have the option to buy a

Yep but just an easy first approximation since the article didn’t have any numbers on the momentum of the particle. I’m sure if you wanted a really good answer you would need more than momentum and actually need to analyze the products of t

Google maps is very eager to re-route around traffic which ends up taking you down back roads (atleast in the US). Which are narrow, not controlled-access, poorly lit, and maybe windy and poorly maintained depending on where you are. And it

Like others have mentioned the entire field of sensor fusion deals with this problem. It is a very challenging problem to solve but it can be solved and it has been successfully used in spacecraft, aircraft, fighter jets, phones, AR/VR

I think this is not the correct way of thinking of Moore's law. Like mentioned elsewhere, Moore's law is not so much a law as a self-fulfilling prediction. Semiconductor companies follow Moore's law (or recently an approximat

I am not sure toughness has anything to do with ferromagnetic properties. But it seems like a bad idea anyways considering that very few materials are naturally ferromagnetic.

Very high field magnets are critical for MRIs, tokamak fusion reactors, mass spectrometers, and probably many other uses if we consider pure science as “useful”. Actually particle accelerators somewhat funded the early investment in high fi

Agreed! The list of highest growth and highest decline cities by page view is almost entirely small cities. This is a pointless stat because of course the small cities are going to see the largest change from even the smallest of trends. I’

Any location estimator worth its salt is already doing this through the use of a multi-rate EKF. On top of that, it takes into account the vehicle dynamics (i.e. cars can't move perfectly horizontally) to improve estimates. The "n

It’s also incorrect to assume the expected value of the equity is zero. It’s much more useful to model it as E(x)=x*p(x), especially if you have some useful information on estimating p(x) that a person working at a startup might.

Yeah maybe. Are we talking about PBS overall or the Newshour segment? In PBS Newshour the upfront report by Judy is very much fact based. I agree though that the various mini-documentary parts of the segment are less direct-fact based repor

An hour of PBS Newshour a day. Very much fact based reporting with maybe a slight left leaning bias. Digest it and move on and live your life. Besides that, I just turn off the news spigot. I'm slowly coming to the realization that wat

There are definitely a few more benefits than aesthetics. Comparing to electric stoves rather than induction (which are in the same price range) a few benefits I’ve noticed are: 1. Instant heat off/heat on response. In electric stoves

The Find My network can be opted out of in the settings [1]. And if I remember correctly, it asks you to opt in (but I might be remembering wrong) I have somewhat the opposite opinion though that there are way too many settings in iOS now a

I think the time-scale argument lacks a little bit of imagination. Time scales are very relative. There could easily be organisms that have lifespans in the thousands of years due to a variety of unique selective pressures (or no concept of
