Why would the hydrogen not escape?

The existence of Udacity / MIT OpenCourseWare / open textbooks, etc. without the whole population of the world being qualified in math & ML & everything else that exists proves that providing videos is not sufficient. Many

Maybe you missed the part in Cold War doctrine where Germany is the battlefield intended to be used up to stop the invasion before the Rhine.

I also found his ‘visual proof’ for neural networks as general function approximators super intuitive.

So, the fact that the faces I draw look like they went through a blender does not mean that I haven't studied drawing enough, it's just proof that I am this generation's Picasso and everyone petty enough to not recognize my g

I like where the author is coming from, but maybe having started with the actual physics and/or equation and then explaining what those terms mean in a naive way would have much more impact. Giving an intuitive explanation of a physica

That's simply not true.

What can I say, words have meaning. I see that you speak the lingo of your peers, when you write about Rust, Rick & Morty, KYC/AML, SSRI, etc. Fluid mechanics also has a lingo, simple as that. If you write a 10 page article about u

The problem with that is that you see all that because you already have a working knowledge of fluid mechanics. Someone reading this from the intended audience, ie someone looking for a gentle introduction, will not realize that absolute st

Oh boy. The author desperately wants to avoid showing equations (or even correctly naming the Navier Stokes equations), and gets rid of the physics along the way. No, fluids can absolutely be compressible, and incompressible fluids absolute

'Apples-to-apples' is the keyword you need to read up on.

It's worth to emphasize your edit: the alternative to high-school is not restricted to solitary confinement.

Of course it did, exactly because there was a lockdown that prevented many COVID deaths. If there hadn't been a lockdown, many more people would have died from COVID than now died from drinking. Sweden for example, famous for its non

Yeah, but picking Rust over Python won't get others killed.

by bernulli 5y ago
tl;dr: Sweden's non-intervention killed 10x (!) more people (per 100,000), led to higher rise in unemployment, and a further shrinking economy compared to neighboring countries [1]. Of course it's impossible to "prove" w

Haha, I wish! Most of the books for the intro classes I teach are essentially redundant. It's a lucky occasion when you teach something where you learn something completely new that you find interesting, and these classes are typically

Unfortunately, the incentives are quite different. In France and Germany, once you get a university research position or CNRS appointment, or in Germany a permanent professorship, you can essentially do what you want within the 36hrs/w

Yet another reason not to conflate the science of a pandemic with actually fighting it!

To be fair, I was without doubt influenced by one of these 'This is fine' memes, but instead with the line 'But what are the long-term effects of fire extinguishers?'.

Again, those are two different things, as I discussed in my post. But let's run with your argument for a minute: So what you're arguing is that we should kick out of our hospitals anyone with cancer, ALS, HIV/AIDS, heck, the

There are very few things settled in the science of fire, but that's beside the point. I'd say the science is settled on what the most effective thing was to eliminate COVID: complete and total shut down, as soon as possible: New

The "article" is conflating two completely different things: science, and battling a pandemic. Both have very different standards, methods, and goals. "Scientific skepticism had to be shot" is the comment you get when yo

Case in point: Lilienthal, who wrote the aerodynamics book that inspired much of the wing building of the Wrights, died when he crashed with one of his gliders. Amazing book by the way, there was a cheap reprint published a few years ago.

Could you provide some links to more information? I was only aware of warming as a big problem. Thank you!

Looks like you've got it all figured out, good for you!

You verbatim wrote "As a professor, create your own PDF and give it to all the students free". How is that not giving away your work for free? How is automatically deducting textbook cost from student tuition going to help with an

I'm still missing the part where I get rich! Please tell me! Truth be told, in my field the intro level textbooks are essentially indistinguishable, down to graphics and specific examples, and every publisher has one. Even if I got fre

I see the downvotes, but I still don't see how some guy self-publishing and printing his own book at Kinkos is proof for a conspiracy in which publishers collude with professors to force students to buy books from that publisher. If an

What's the longest text you've ever written that you can judge 'it's not that hard' to write a 500p standard textbook? As a corollary, only very few professors actually have their own textbook and thus don't ma
