I don't recall clearly so that's certainly possible, but it seems the Axolotl does have the capability of spontaneous metamorphosis. Here are quotes from some publications I found. First, regarding the first individuals imported i

A very interesting animal. A biology professor told me a story that went something like this: these animals were known for seemingly staying in a larval state for their whole life, an extreme case of neoteny. Scientists brought some specime

In the linked Groups post, the author reports "physical threats and other forms of abuse". I find that very easy to believe and your post reads very uncharitable, unless you have concrete reasons to think that the author is lying.

I think a common way to teach classical statistics is to start with a binomial test. The binomial distribution is quite concrete so the students can hopefully grasp the concept of p-value. Then things become more abstract with the normal, T

According the Wikipedia, the iPhone 4 got only 4 years of updates (released in 2010, last update with iOS 7.1.2 in 2014). And Apple was still selling it in 2015. That's maybe the worst example but it illustrates the difference between

I'm not questioning the numbers but still find them absurd. How can it be a full time (or maybe 70%) job to take care of the plants of a single unit?

The storage capacity is also limited by the superconductor's critical current. I imagine everything is fine until you add that extra bit of current that causes the material to switch out of superconductivity and all the concentrated en

Consider the pig picture in the article (the one under "The Occluding Contour Problem"). The method proposed by dvh would give the outline, but not the contour of the pig's left ear for example.

That's a rather uncharitable judgement based on just one article... Also in case others struggled to understand what the linked article is talking about, I found this one very helpful: https://4gravitons.com/2022/1

The following seem positive to me, and more commonly possessed by men: Strength, self-confidence, wealth, position of responsibility.

Ha! I just went to the "Third-party licenses" page on my Pixel 6, and it loads a never-ending list of links. Looks like a list of all files in the filesystem.

That comment is quite the mix of good information and political cheap shot. You could have stopped at the first sentence, or given the people that push for these things the benefit of the doubt, that maybe they believe in what they say and

Presumably the device will do the recording with the screen turned off, so it will generate little heat internally. So I think placing most of the device behind something to shield it from sunlight should be enough to avoid heat issues. Tho

Thanks, that one points to the bioRxiv version of the paper which is freely available while the news piece submitted here links to a paywall.

I think this what-if has serious issues in its argumentation (though I agree with the conclusion): The argument about reversibility is kind of a straw man: it answers "why can't you concentrate all light on a single point" wh

I find these boring af. Complaints about Google's history of killing products are the most predictable reaction to any Google news on HN and it's been like that for a long time. They often make these threads tedious to read and it

This could be messy to implement since the guilty party could have other legal obligations that prevent them from releasing the source code.

You probably know that but for clarity's sake: OP probably meant why not LaTeX instead of the CSS+Chrome solution used by the author of the blog post. I agree that ConTeXt would be a better fit than LaTeX.

What about Julia? It's somewhat popular and heavily inspired by Lisp. It has a type tree that's reminiscent of Lisp's numerical tower: https://global.discourse-cdn.com/business5/uploads/julialang...

1. I agree we lost the DRM war. But I think the reason no one fights it anymore is that most people only cared for convenience reasons. Netflix, Spotify, etc. have largely solved the convenience issue. So we could say most people were actua
