This is completely orthogonal to whether a virtual therapist is as effective as a real therapist, which is the subject of the story. If treatment A and treatment B are equally effective, that doesn't tell you anything about treatment C

Ehh, I don't know about that conclusion. Just because people are more open doesn't mean that the therapy is effective. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. But at the end of the day, a good therapist (in m

About a year ago, I launched the first run of Breaker 101. It was a huge success, and I'm happy to announce the third run of the class today. I'll be around if anyone has any questions. I hope to see some of you in class! (P.S.

If you plan to use Emokit, please drop me a line (email's in my profile) if you have any issues. I'm no longer the maintainer, but I like to keep abreast of its usage, and want to make sure that it continues working for new devic

Oh, for sure. It's by no means an apples-to-apples comparison (just being in orbit around Earth before you start your journey out gives you a huge jump on that), just gives you a sense of scale.

Woops, you're right! I was doing some ballpark math a couple orders of magnitude higher thrust, to see what would be practical if this were scaled up. (For context, my original post said that matching Voyager's velocity would tak

The plutonium shortage in NASA really has nothing to do with technology or science, but just politics. We simply stopped producing the stuff, but we could start again at any time; as the article you linked mentions, we're planning on

Wow. My gut tells me something is wrong here, and that this is being mismeasured. However, this would be an enormous breakthrough if it pans out, even at the low levels NASA has seemingly confirmed. We're very good at generating powe

Agreed. I've spent a ridiculous portion of the last 4 years in taxis and liveries in the NYC metro area and a few other major cities in the US and several in western Europe. Speeding has been an absolute constant; no exceptions whatsoe

This is a damn impressive demo, but it's not really "in the browser". The browser is the shell, but absolutely all of the heavy lifting is being done on the GPU. No matter what you're using to push shaders over to the

The power is obviously lost on the way back, but this doesn't actually factor into the distance you can read from, practically speaking. If you can get power to the device, you can use a super high-gain antenna to receive its transmis

I'm not sure why they say these are RFID-enabled; all the tags they show are BTLE. The difference being that BTLE devices are active transmitters (they have a battery), and RFID tags are passive, having their energy provided via radio

Seems there's a bit more to it than just that. They claimed that they had pending patents when they don't (or at least, the patent numbers they gave are bunk), their demo video had bluetooth turned off, and some other nasty thing

Considering that our radio waves haven't traveled very far, I doubt this is true. Remember, a planet 60 light years away is just now hearing Elvis for the first time.

Do it. Just do it. If you don't, you'll regret it when you can't anymore. All of my grandparents have passed away, and I missed out on so many stories; one of my biggest regrets in life.
