Maybe the answer is multi-step: first use curated primary sources, e.g. scientific papers. Then reinforce using well written summaries, perhaps by actual models or well graded student papers. Finally, somehow apply negative weights using wr

As a satellite launcher, Starship would be incredibly cheap on shared payloads, and refueling would not be necessary there.

I'm curious. What makes a soil suitable for growing vegetables? What can we grow in a soil that isn't? Is it possible to transform an unsuitable soil into a good one?

Charcoal is pyrolized biomass, not fossil fuel, which means it's approximately carbon-neutral. The problems with it are more associated with deforestation.

I read the book recently, there are some interesting details in there: -The operator of the telegraph does not know the meaning of the signals he transmits. -The operator had a fixed break time every day, and could never leave his post. If

That's absolute bullshit. Even if you can technically secure or transmit a billion dollar using crypto, if it is illegal in your jurisdiction, using crypto doesn't make it less illegal. There's probably less chance for you to

Question: does the ability to absorb energy necessarily means that any deformation will be permanent, or do metal foams that absorb energy get back to a preferable shape, like a memory foam mattress?

Obviously the solution would be to send two of them next time, and add the ability for both to be used as a relay.

It's not really sharing tough, is it? No source code, no models, no demo... just a couple pages of text, a couple of vague formulas, insufficient to reproduce results (which by the way should be the whole point of research papers). Thi

This is an example of a real, yet illegal use of cryptocurrency (in the sense that it is used to circumvent the local laws). Also said cryptocurrency has to remain hidden like a treasure in a chest inside a secret cave, or it can be seized,

I think the appeal in this NeRF tech in in the ability to use both real capture information, like traditional filmmaking, AND the ability to reframe, refocus, recompose images, like in 3d scenes.

Sorry if I seemed to imply a productivity gain of 350-700 times. This is a very rough estimate for only the tasks accomplished by a combined harvester, which happens in a very narrow timeline in the season. I was certainly not talking about

You might check your math here buddy. Sure a combine (which is called that because it does three jobs all at once, reaping, threshing and winnowing) may cost 100$/hr over it's useful lifespan, but it replaces much more than one pe

I think it's interesting as a learning tool. The stories it regurgitates are crap, but forcing yourself to describe why it's crap is the real benefit here. It's a fancy rubber duck.

I'm curious about the claim that the panel can be installed on ungraded ground. What kind of slope are we talking about? Would it make sense to dig long shallow trenches and adjacent mounds to orient the panel a bit more toward the sun

So you're saying they're the same theory disguised as different, or another facet of the same solid, only useful as a computational shortcut. Maybe it's time to look for contradictions?
