I made an updated version, which I called "neatocal", that allows for different options (and doesn't have the initial popup), including allowing for year changes, differing month counts, different start months, etc. See the &

I found this talk to be great. It goes through the history of OOP and how some of the ideas for the more modern ECS were embedded in the culture at the formation of OOP in the 1960s to 1980s but somehow weren't adopted. It was pretty c

Aside from all the turbulence of trying to get a project off the ground, the deciding factor was that the electrical transport infrastructure (aka wires) couldn't support the desired load of 4.5MW-10MW and was slashed to 3MW, making th

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I'll have to check out the paper but just watching the video it seems all these counter intuitive effects can be described from the oscillations being related to the size of the chamber. For examp

That's the allure, that gravity is a derived effect from statistical mechanics. Thus the name 'entropic attraction'.
223.
by abetusk 1y ago
Entropic gravity is like the "brazil nut effect" [0] [1]. The idea is that if you shake a glass full of different sized nuts, the large ones will rise to the top. From what I understand, this is because larger objects have more ma

Ticketing organizations have solved these problems some of which, I'm sure, do exactly as you propose, so it's not like it's an insurmountable problem but, besides wanting to hear a proposal, my point was that these are commo

This is maybe the answer, but I'd like to at least acknowledge that this is what's being proposed: Buying tickets for shows has the same security requirements and domestic and international flights.

You're not really addressing the point head on. The argument about how science is communicated is orthogonal. The argument is that science academia prioritizes career over pursuing academic science. I won't speak for anyone else b

by abetusk 1y ago
The argument is about pursuing research for discovery or pursuing research for career advancement. Both scenarios require communication but for different reasons. You're not really addressing main critique.

Here's a possible good faith interpretation: Irrational numbers exist as a limiting process, not as a static atomic unit. That is, irrational numbers are a verb, not a noun. We use irrational numbers as nouns, when convenient, but this
