Spherical-against-spherical and flat-against-flat grinding can be self-truing, so in effect centuries-old clever results required clever testing to verify. High tech in those days? Rumor I heard in the mid-1980s was that LLNL had [vertical?

You might well imagine what advantages go to Apple (or any major OEM) from having multiple suppliers tooling up to supply a complex component within a spec. Multiple sourcing. Big-failure avoidance. Competitive development with different cu

That's huge. Everyday profile accuracy can be spoken of in "quarter wavelength"-like terms.

Yea, we had to dumb it down to compete in a Turing test. Otherwise it was unbelievable.

Do heavy metal lyrics in other spoken languages use postfix? How does noun placement affect the poetics/performance of metal?

Not a lawyer, but don't "excusable" errors done for profit enter the legal category of fraud?

> no small feat What a time to be sourcing for new hardware. We're rooting for you. P.S. The Oxide design motif reminds me of 96-pin Euro/VME connectors.

Can you micro-dose? (No puns intended.)

It would be funny if the signs and magnitudes worked out to allow the 1 micron sphere to levitate inside a 4 micron hole.

The following is the text of a recent HN comment (not my own) on the subject of non-drug highs. As it suggests starting with a nonsense word, the OP fake word generator ought to suit: > It is really quite easy: have someone you know prov

To my reading the posted article makes only passing reference to the California recommendations, and gives positive emphasis to a number of focussed initiatives or programs.

FWIW, a few years ago I read an article with short discussions of "100 Good Ideas in Education." The article was written by a well-qualified educational journalist. Again, FWIW, I'd estimate that at least 10% of the discussio

As a less all-or-nothing scenario, one relevent concept comes from Joseph Tainter as a theorist of collapse. He proposes that eventually complexity reaches a point where it not sustainable (either in general or at the margin), and a society

Good article. It ends with a focus on the mystery of needing only a small number of core integrals out of thousands. I assume that if there is any potential connection to amplituhedron theory, that has been looked at (and since not mentione

Even assuming a computer model, think of an analog computer with long integration times, potentially high gain for thermal noise terms, simulating a chaotic system. Or, look at literature on error rates for people performing simple repetiti

Looking at the injection end of an infinitly-long ideal transmission line, you can replace the effect of that in a circuit (as a two-terminal element) with a normal resistor of the same characteristic impedance. Given a shorted end at some

Saw the title in my feed and assumed this would be about Poynting Vectors. Shaking my head in wonderment that I once routinely solved Jackson problems.

If it must be created by non-programmers too delicate to match braces, how about BEGIN .. END and an autoformatter. Or, NODE <name> .. END .
