I’m not sure if we should conclude much from this study alone. If you look at the scatter plot, it seems there’s basically no correlation if you discard three of the samples. The last sentence of the conclusion is the most important. It cou

As with ever other nuclear energy proponent, there’s not much thought put into anything but electricity generation. But that’s just one part of the battle. The only comprehensive net zero carbon plan I’ve seen, that involves significant nuc

While it’s always good to be a bit skeptic, don’t take this video at face value either. I’d argue that it has bigger issues than Real Engineerings video because it tries to come off as scientifically accurate, but may actually be deeply fla

I think part of the problem is that in many of these countries you basically have to be “rich” to get by, and you need a lot of money to raise kids according to the standards in these countries. The reason it used to be easier to have kids

I’ve written programs in both, though it’s been a while since I used Nim now. I think I enjoyed writing Nim more. Zig is more boring, but for all the right reasons. I wouldn’t personally choose to write an OS in Nim, but I think Zig would

Very interesting. Makes me imagine a battery swapping station for a huge mining truck. Probably not feasible but I’m sure it would look awesome if it was.

No idea how world coin is supposed to work.. but couldn’t they get their account back by scanning their iris again? Like, I’m guessing you’re not supposed to have to scan your iris every time you use your account. But can’t the iris be like

It’s also a lack of bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria will generally eat up the nasty smelling compounds. But most of us basically exterminate all of them whenever we wash ourselves. They might be essential to good skin health. We’d be covered

Is that supposed to be sarcastic? If you open that can of worms I think the question will very quickly be whether such an asset class should just be outright banned. To me it’s still an open question if cryptocurrencies are inherently a (di

You would think you can make the lithography faster with electron beams by just having many beams in parallel. But as far as I understand that’s doesn’t really work if you try to have too many beams: keep in mind that the electron beams wou

Asianometry is an amazing channel for topic like this. Also check the video on water for chip manufacturing. You’d never think there so many interesting challenges with something so mundane as water. Modern chip manufacturing is basically b

I think you’re confusing two things. How open standards are developed/pushed vs open source. In the context of web integrity API, what good does it do that chromium can be open source? Whether a browser is potentially fully open source

PRC did some things right. I won’t fault them for having an authoritarian phase. Taiwan and South Korea did too. So far they’ve done better than India. Although, perhaps, in ways that doomed them in the long run (one child policy) But if yo

Before I reached the hilbert curve section my best guess for a visually pleasing sorting would be using a 3D hilbert curve in LAB color space. So I’m very disappointed that the idea wasn’t explored in more depth. Such promising results for

Who are “we”? Right now it varies a lot where in the world you are. I don’t have exact numbers but I have a feeling there’s more fast charging locations around me than gas stations. (There may be more gas pumps but it doesn’t matter because

Yeah, if we’re going to compare solar with a hypothetical CCS plant we should compare it using solar on a mostly renewable grid with electric mining equipment. Both solutions will likely exist in the future, but don’t right now. My argument

Does this follow the trend of car related fires only becoming news if it’s an electric car? Would it have been reported on at all if the source wasn’t suspected of being an electric car?

Of course incineration is better. Modern incineration plants are very effective at filtering out the nasty stuff. And it’s way easier to make sure a small quantity of very concentrated nasty stuff is never released into nature, than dispers

I won’t defend Robert Lustvigs position entirely. It’s rather extreme. But I think you need to watch his stuff before trying to criticise it. Glucose is the body’s primary energy source. Yes. But not fructose. (And sucrose, which is what’s

Bitumen is getting more and more expensive, so I guess unless it’s crazy expensive it’s just a matter of time.. We’re using increasingly less gasoline to drive cars a given distance. For EVs it’s essentially zero. So we refine less oil for
