OK, thanks. The article made it sound like they found a way to show time reversal symmetry breaking and I was waiting for them to drop whatever assumption they used to get there. The underlying theory is symmetric and so it only makes sen

This reads like some sort of dark comedy. These police officers plant drugs on the poor guy's car, they then take him out. He wasn't even the driver BTW. Because he asks them to be careful of his recently stitched up stab wound t

Unfortunately that will be really tough. I have a live audio background and the recommendation I have always heard is to keep the latency of your signal path at the 1 ms level when dealing with monitoring applications. That's a solid

This looks really nice, but personally I've been getting encumbered by using too many different applications to store my important information. For the time being I'm trying consolidate everything like this into one evernote acco

No I don't. It's possible to belive in free software principles and also care about the AGPL for reasons not spelled out in its preamble.

If I only wanted to provide a service people used then I'd just start a company and charge for my product. This is about getting a fair deal in the case where I distribute my work for free. I'm not OK with a company turning arou

The way I see it, it doesn't matter if it impacts the project or not. It's about getting a fair deal for the effort you give to the community, not protecting the project. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of the Googles of th

I license all of my software AGPL and the reason I do it isn't gatekeeping or some theoretical argument about what software is. It's because I have put a large amount of effort into this product and decided to release it for the

I'm at Cornell and the admin just announced online learning for all undergraduates for the rest of semester.

That stinks, I actually had the same idea on my project list, but as proxy server not a browser extension. Good job though.

Just a guess, but I imagine he's talking about how we've been taught certain context clues from media that aren't exactly accurate. For instance, that bubbly low passed sound when a character is underwater or the crunchy pun

That's really awesome, but it feels like cheating to call it the OCR record holder. It's really OCR + context. However it would be interesting if you could apply the same idea at the word and sentence level of written language.

I don't know what it is, but the thought of Turing running around Bletchley park burying silver ingots is hilarious to me. Also, I wonder if anyone has found them since. Anyone with a metal detector up for a bit of a project?

I've really wanted one for a while, but they're so expensive. Maybe one day.

Absolutely! Back in college, I used to laugh along with BOFH style comedy. I still do find it funny, but now that I've been on the receiving end of this brand of toxic behavior in my own life, it's all a little too real for me. I

The other issue is the health toll many of the trade jobs have. See what 40 years of running cable on your hands and knees as an electrician will do to you vs a cushy desk job.

I'd say that the scientific method is just a formal process taught to school kids and that most scientists don't follow it either. At least they don't in my field (physics). It's more like "hypothesis" -> &

WRT the artist: I think it depends on the ad. Some people will argue this, but I don't think making money from your art makes you a "sellout" or less of an artist. On the other hand, there are usually a lot of constraints t

The world isn't black and white. Work began on the bomb when there was an existential threat to the country in the form of Nazi Germany. What little Feynman spoke about the bomb after the war makes it seem like he didn't agree wi

No they don't. This is without a doubt a product of badly designed software. That badly designed software is making life difficult for people based on assumptions about race and gender. It's a problem which is worth fixing and de

I'm really looking forward to a good electronic replacement for paper. After a long search for an e-reader that can handle academic papers, I came up empty handed. There just isn't a good solution right now since most devices hav

It wasn't one or two comments that caught my eye, it was the overwhelming anti-science sentiment of the audience in those videos. Judge ideas for the ideas themselves, but this is a clear red flag and points to the type of community sh

Yes! To be clear it is the second blog post/video that I am criticizing.

Be careful with her videos. While she does have some good content, Sabine has an agenda to push with respect to big science and I've seen at least a few of her articles on projects I'm familiar with that are well within conspiracy

That would be angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Read about it here: https://arpes.stanford.edu/research/tool-development/angle-r... The TL;DR is that you can kick electrons out of a material with

By sourcing, I wasn't arguing about their price. The problem is that it's hard to find anyone who will sell you more than a handful of them at low prices. I haven't checked recently, but at least that's what I remember.
