Oh, I thought you meant time of flight for light, e.g. lidar. That would be very surprising.
962.
by Vecr 3y ago
I'm actually interested in this, are you claiming humans do time of flight measurements?
963.
by Vecr 3y ago
No it's not, have you heard of bed sores and muscle atrophy? You need to exercise a reasonable amount to minimize cardiovascular risk as well.

I assume it's possible, just absurdly expensive. "Just" launch a Star-Raker into a suborbital trajectory with your passengers on board. With Star-Raker you can even have windows.

If that's the sensitivity, what's the specificity? How well does it translate from the population it's trained on to other populations? In what contexts is the type of lying it detects useful to detect? I would assume using i

That's evo psych though, and I'm pretty sure general skepticism of evo psych was a lot higher than the skepticism of priming effects was. Call what you wrote a weak prior if you want, I guess.

If I accept everything about the studies in here, that really only means people can be rational if they try to be and in put in the effort to get the right information for what they want to do. That's also limited by what you can remem

In GA, yeah. On commercial passenger jets with a couple well-trained pilots and a multiple-times lower fatality rate per hour than cars, there's no safer place to be if you need to cross the continental US. I doubt a self driving car i

It depends on what you think of instrumental convergence, if you buy it the only reason an AI would not take over the world is if it can't or it thinks attempting to do so would not provide an expected reduction in the probability of t

It's a bunch of weights, it's not really compressible. Obviously you can't decode the model without the model so it's useless as well.

Not if the Space Development Agency and SDI have anything to say about it, though I actually doubt they will get funding.

It's actually interesting how Peter Pan is portrayed. I can't actually think of any other characters like him. Obviously there are many who kill hundreds of people (or thousands? who knows how long Peter Pan has been at it for), b

Not according to the US, where the site is hosted, you don't.

I'm actually not sure of any science fiction shows I think are a reasonable depiction of the future. I guess Generation Kill with slightly different equipment for the soldiers and IED/drone jammers stuck to everything?

Why do you think mentioning Thomas Kuhn is "ritual" and "cliche" at all? I don't think I've ever heard that name before, and even after searching the text of the article for it I don't understand the issue

It's really the equivalent of a experimental aircraft though, the only reason they can take paying passengers is a law that restricts regulation of private spacecraft. It's about as FAA certified as a kit plane.

The advisory they give is the help you are getting from them. It's not like they can send the FBI Hostage Rescue Team or Delta Force to China anyway, even if they wanted to. They might try to get you out in special situations, for exam

Wrong Orion. This is the one with the nuclear bombs and pusher plate.

I guess I'm wrong. Wikipedia says that in 2018 their intention was to "phase out" all standard cars except the Mustang and continue to sell SUVs and trucks. I don't think it's a good idea to have a self driving Must

Better mounting gear and power options for the sensors? I'm not really sure. Also, cars in general might have less drop-in replacement options than SUVs in the US, and even if their platform stopped being made there's probably a b

There's all the cynical and morality related reasons you probably already know about, but it is possible to die from any psychoactive drug, easiest by getting into a car while intoxicated and crashing it. Other ways include but are not

You know there's a lot of other stuff around that would have problems with huge multi-tesla fields, right? Even levitating someone with iron attached to various points on a full body rope access harness would require consideration of t

Somewhat off topic, but your network switches don't still come with metal cases? I get the cheapest stuff that's likely to be reasonably good quality and they all have metal cases.

Sure, but imagine if a D&D setting was an actual world that somehow survived long enough to start implementing countermeasures (remember the last 1/3rd of this book is set thousands of years in the future, so reasonably analogous).
985.
by Vecr 3y ago
I think the final 1/3rd of that book is actually a horrible situation to actually be in. "Someone else's dream" for sure.

At least post the citation for the desal thing?

Black holes don't actually grow forever, at least if you accept hawking radiation and the heat death of the universe. Eventually the evaporation due to hawking radiation will outpace the inflow of matter and light, causing the black ho

Getting hit in the thigh even now with the best medical care available is reasonably likely to kill you. Very likely to kill you if they hit the femoral artery. Back then, there was probably not much of a point in even trying to save him.

"Deeply Unserious" might be too strong a phrase but it's close.

You mean that's now how everyone else programs? Obviously you do fuzz testing and static analysis and possibly some sort of theorem prover verification so you don't get too embarrassed.
