   A few nitpicks - I know this video is just an overview, so these don't matter all that much, but: - The paint doesn't "dry" per se, it is baked on. Usually at least twice - once for primer, once for mid, top and clea

   People think automation solves problems - it's the opposite. In order to use automation, you have to solve every problem that the automation could encounter. It's not clearly shown in this, but the majority of the work is manually

   Have we discovered how to prove a negative and I missed it? Or do we still have to look at the balance of evidence? In other words: in most justice systems, the prosecution must produce evidence of guilt, they hold the burden. It's als

   I think neighborhood batteries make a lot more sense - spread out the cost, if every neighborhood had a reasonable sized battery installation, the grid would be FAR more stable.

    You're being sprayed with weed killer (metaphorically). The problem is, you have step into a conflict area without realizing it. The moderators spray the whole area with weed killer because there really are weeds. It's too much wo

    You can't do a long term all-cause mortality study double blinded. It would never pass the Review Board for one thing. It would also be very expensive. And leaving the smallest problem for last, it's literally impossible to do a l

    Scientific literacy is very important. Knowing what kinds of things you can learn from what kinds of studies is part of scientific literacy. Review studies have their place, even if they don't do their own science.

    I think it's good sometimes to unfocus your brain a bit from categorical thinking like "These things are alive, and here are the characteristics of living things" - or - Here are the 3/4/5/??? phases of matter,

    I feel like we're a few more paradigm shifts away from self-driving cars, and this is one of them - being able to actually understand neural nets and modify them in a constructive way more directly - aka engineering. Some more: c

    I'm left handed, and I previously put my mouse on the left side of the keyboard. I eventually stopped because video games assume you'll use your left hand on the keyboard for wasd movement etc. I blame this for my poor performance

    Humans are flexible and reprogrammable in a way you can't really understand until after you've tried to deploy and work with automation. It turns out that "robots are cool" is not on the chief engineer or product designe
