The politicians aren't going to be persuaded by this, they're corrupt snakes who are very open with their lack of regard for actually useful programs. Chandra et al are dying because Congress wants to pour more money into SLS (and

FGO is an online game though, editing saves isn't a thing because the data you'd need to edit is all on their servers.

This feels very similar to the trope on X, where someone makes an inflammatory or stupid comment, people angrily respond calling them stupid, and the original person then claims they're being harassed/were just joking, and ultimat

The article says they're going to be 144 meters apart. A collision of things that are in basically the exact same orbit is also not going to be much of a risk, as the collision would be at a low relative velocity. Collisions between sa

I think with those the idea is to make the arms so long that the precision of the relative separation matters less, especially since LISA is trying to listen for much longer wavelengths than LIGO. On top of that, they likely just need to ge

I think what makes it worse is that a lot of 'UX' people seem to actively oppose these kinds of power user conveniences because they think they know better than their users.

To me this reads less like a social media issue and more like she's depressed and something about the way you're asking her is off. I saw a couple of years of similar reactions from my sisters after they went through some difficul

The Qudelix 5k is a pretty well liked 3.5mm to Bluetooth converter in audiophile corners. I've been using one for ~2 years now, it does a pretty good job, plus, retains the option for plugging in via USB.

As a 5-10 year old, the books I remember liking the most were on the outer planets, with high quality full page photos of the planets and their moons. Closer to photobooks than books on the solar system targeted at children. One book was ju

They still aren't all that interested in this stuff, and on their advice I ended up studying computer engineering instead of physics, but I've still found myself working at one of the other labs with big particle accelerators, as

Since you said 'not too math-intensive', I figure you're fine with getting more details and background than usual just without having to parse equations, in which case PBS Space Time is great: https://www.youtube.c

He gives me a similar feeling to say, SBF did prior to the FTX collapse. This isn't to say he's a scammer like SBF, but rather that he has a similar hard to describe 'dishonest' air around him, where I feel he's del

But has the goal you've been aggressively working towards been to reach those levels? or have you been playing just for the enjoyment of playing? Not to suggest that the latter is wrong, just interested in your actual goal. In teaching

Yeah that's a fair point. As an early career scientist myself now and as someone not that interested in current social media trends, I certainly do risk being in the same spot as those 'hardcore' scientists.

Most childhood prodigies don't end up being all that different from the average person as an adult, and of course no one's born with the knowledge of some revolutionary discovery in their head. While all of us have things we find

My parents had a hard time explaining my dad's job to me, so they just told me he was a scientist because he had a masters in physics (he was a diplomat). Like any little kid, my parents were my heroes, so of course this led me to beco

The story of how Higgs predicted his mechanism was part of what got me into physics as a kid. It fit 10 year old me's obsession with the 'soft-spoken genius' archetype perfectly and formed a pillar in my belief that 'gen

Would be interesting to see if using electromagnets for dynamically tuning switch resistance is practical. Eg using a fixed magnet to offer a baseline resistance, and a coil underneath to make slight adjustments.

The Steam Deck I have laying next to me seems to have around 6-7mm of travel on the shoulder triggers. Looks like these can do 4mm, so yeah I suppose there would be about half the precision.

Directed energy weapons are still in their early days, they're not powerful enough to just shrug off all sorts of potential countermeasures the way a solid chunk of metal hitting the target does.

And that's despite our scientific understanding of the phenomenon, really explains why people who lacked that understanding viewed eclipses as a bad omen.

Yep, this was a presentation to scientists so concerns about subtle failures came up. Even when discussing the potential of applying LLMs to help make it easier for non-native speakers to fix grammar errors, there was the major caveat that
