I’m about to have my first child and I want to read to my baby. I only have so much patience for kids books, and I want to tell my kid about the real world. This site is a light UI over some prompt engineering to parse and rewrite Wikipedia

A wise move for a people and nation well-familiar with the depredations of their neighbor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_the_Ingrian_Finn...

Yeah, and the Finns hated it. My ancestors immigrated to the US to avoid being drafted from Finland into the imperial Russian army.

I disagree. It’s true that we are used to thinking of gravitation as a theory that was double checked with data, but it is also pretty clear that good physical arguments are strong priors. Then, with experimental data, we have a classic pri

I love reading about mcmc. Would you mind linking your thesis?

I ride their cars every week in Chandler. For a joke, they sure have delivered a nice experience. All snarkiness aside, I really enjoy riding in the cars because the driving strategy is interesting. Waymo routes appear to vastly prefer more

This book shows up every year or so on HN and I will never stop upvoting it. My favorite textbook of all time, along with my favorite quote: “Marginalization is a macho activity, appropriate only for those fluent in definite integration”

Nature hasn’t provided glyphosate, accessible nitrogen by the megaton, and millions of square miles of artificially drained soil. Vertical farming isn’t much more of an aberration than the average row crop operation in America.

The real downside: maybe I suck at writing and AI will forever describe my work as trite and insipid to all future beings.

Yes, Stokes flow all day! Also, most marshy places are flat, and most flat places are notoriously windy so the usefulness would be generally quite low. However, my sense is that the real dealbreaker is that it’s impossible to find a suitabl

The American interior generally does not benefit from the same moderating influence of major water bodies as Scandinavia does. The winters are quite different. That's why you can have frequent awfully cold conditions as far south as Ok

I sort of handwaved the drag away by claiming this really only makes sense at low velocities. That said, if there's a stiff headwind it might be very difficult to move forward. One thing that occurred to me here is that perhaps you cou

Yeah, the density number looks inappropriate. While looking more closely I found that my reference value of 1 kg lift per cubic meter was off; apparently Wikipedia says its closer to 4. That means the balloon size goes from radius of 20m. t

I think your underlying assumption that there's no coordination or conspiracy going on is probably right. What scares me is that most people had good intentions along the way here (plus a light dusting of completely predictable greed)

I think this comment is unusually revealing about your worldview and the community you grew up in. It certainly does not reflect my experience.

This seems like it would be an awesome tool for visualizing orbitals / harmonics in quantum mechanics. It looks like Bessel functions are within the space of feasible functions you can make.

The Iowa ag lobby had a huge hand in 1) getting ethanol to be subsidized, 2) forcing open Mexico’s protected maize market, thereby indirectly causing most of the border troubles we face, and 3) pushing corn syrup on unwitting consumers and

Absolutely love this book. It’s the perfect bridge from physics to machine learning.

This was a great read. I love the idea of an ordering on CAs to complex systems with extra dispersion about the midsection to help explain things like stability.

Yeah, it’s one of the most well known engineering & science schools in the world and has an arguably much larger tangible impact than ethereum.

I like the article. That said, if you are expecting biostatisticians to give the best explanation of the biggest hammer in the Bayesian toolbox, you may be looking in the wrong place. Folks in spatial stats, machine learning, and physics ha

50% fewer operations for skewsymmetric matrix vector product is pretty big, IMO.

I understand your point about oscillations as an alternative cause, but we have enough data for at least a single full cycle of NAO. While skimming some of the related work, I found a line in this paper ( https://journals.ametsoc.

A small sample size is, by itself, not an issue. It only means that you need larger effect sizes to come to any conclusion. Fortunately for the researcher referenced, the changes are indeed rather pronounced.
