These guidelines aren't specific to COVID though, and they are not conditioned upon any projected efficacy or disease severity. They are laid out as a matter of principle, valid even assuming, say a 90% fatal disease and a 90% effectiv

I'm missing the arguments for why any of these guidelines are supposedly ethical. The implication of these are that a handful of individual's rights to refuse e.g. vaccines is appropriately balanced against a potentially huge loss

Not weighing in on the conclusions here, merely wanted to say that I don't think the island is as small as the author makes it out to be. The dead outnumber the living by about 15:1.

I listened to the Vox Conversations podcast and I feel somewhat skeptical about the conclusions regarding happiness. The author of the book says that he trusts a major study on the subject because it sampled what people were doing at the pr

Paul Bourke's webpage is a true internet gem for 3D reference information. I don't know how many times I must've landed on his page on 3D file format specifications.

I think this sounds like using a Markov process to model a current state and reachable states, at two steps away, and tryimg to assign transition probabilities between them. The flaw I see in this approach is that one has limited sensing (d

I was thinking "oh wasn't there a project a few years ago that also used the GPIO pins to broadcast FM radio?". Turns out those few years were almost a decade: https://hackaday.com/2012/12/10/tr

Last time I needed to do some horrible non-linear least squares optimization in C++ I used Ceres from Google.

This minority staff report prepared for the use of the committee on foreign relations in the U.S. senate does not mince words.

One nice thing about OC11b72 playback is that you can change the scaling of the canvas that you do the playback on and increase the resolution of the final image

I wonder if one could build a couple of aircraft carrier for commercial airliners and post them out in the Pacific somewhere to get shorter ETOPS-compliant flight paths. I also wonder how much fuel is spent carrying fuel and if emissions wo

My suggestion is to follow Kimon Nicolaides' "The natural way to draw" It's almost the antithesis of Betty Edwards' "Drawing on right side of the brain". Follow the exercises as if you were doing push-ups.

If the drones have cameras and you can scatter AR markers around the space with known positions, you can probably just use a Kalman filter based on detecting the markers.

https://www.classcentral.com/course/edx-fundamentals-of-manu... I think it would be unreasonable to expect much more than an intuition from an intro course. But you make a good point. :)

One of my favorite CAD systems to use has been one called IronCAD, but it's not huge in terms of market share.

I think focusing on what cad tool to use is a bit like fussing over what brand of pencils to use as a professional artist. It really doesn't matter if you start with fusion360, Catia, inventor, AutoCAD, SolidWorks because these tools a

As someone with a mechanical engineering background, i feel that a sensible path to covering the basics would be to take an online course in manufacturing and materials. There is so much more to manufacturing than printing and injection mol

If you find that Google is returning suggestions leading to self-harm as "answers" to unrelated queries such as "what should I do today?", why not let CSPC investigate the issue? I get the impression people are arguing a

The source for the information is a warning to parents about the challenge. Alexa only returned the challenge statement, without the context of it being potentially life threatening. A search would have been fine.

Because how else would google maps break ties between equally long paths when giving directions, if not by which ads you see along the way? ;)

I'm not sure I understand how binning applies in e.g. segmentation of point clouds into distinct objects. The data would likely contain a mix of unknown distributions, partially observed (due to occlusions) and not easily parametrized

Mutual information is not trivial or even possible to estimate in many practical situations as far as i know. Example applications in robotics or computer vision, where mutual information would be useful are segmentation and denoising of un
