Why would launch costs be low? $10/kg is fantasy land. UPS won’t ship a kilogram across the country for $10. And who wants spent nuclear fuel in low earth orbit? This is a far worse location for spent fuel than buried in a bunker. This

Unless you live in Sci Fi future where space travel is magically free, this is a pretty bad deal since sending a pound of spent nuclear fuel out of earth orbit takes 50+ pounds of fuel. Sending all the spent nuclear waste into space would b

I agree that it was done by many organizations before “agile” but that’s true of all agile practices. Agile is a philosophy and a collection of tools. None of the tools are new though.

The real question isn’t whether LIQUID should be BLURRY but whether intentionally choosing a BLURRY user interface design is STUPID. Apple spent millions convincing everyone they needed Retina displays and then churned out an update that ma

It’s absolutely an agile idea. The core of agile development is the ability to iterate quickly. Shift left for certain things enables the cycle to shorten and accelerate iteration.

The problem is that journals become a way to fill a CV and justify tenure and grants rather than a way to disseminate information. If your goal is to share information, you want quality articles in multiple places so that people can get to

Yeah, but 318 should probably suffice.

Thanks. Appreciate the clarification.

by dpark 4mo ago
Hard pass. The exact area of a circle is pi*r^2. We can calculate decimals of pi arbitrarily far, certainly further than our ability to measure. “Exact area” means we use symbolic math, not that we quibble about significant digits.

Either you understand this stuff at a level so much deeper than me that I can’t comprehend what you’re getting at or you are way out of your depth because none of this makes any sense to me. Waves aren’t physical but everything is waves? We

This is not what I heard from folks who worked directly with mythos. I was told that the vulnerabilities it generated were largely real and meaningful.

I am not sure there’s any breakthrough here, but this article is about a different QM interpretation (as opposed to Copenhagen or Many Worlds). Interesting but seems irrelevant to the discussion here of particles and fields.

Where are you getting 37? The standard model has 17 fields. If you pick and choose which properties to select as unique fields, maybe you can get the number 37, but at that point why not 118 fields?

by dpark 4mo ago
I would imagine 360 patches removed way more than 360 uses of strncpy. But yeah, it’s not a given that each of these patches addressed a bug. (Also not a given that there were only 360 bugs fixed.)

You are making it weirder still by trying to defend your bias by saying it’s a problem with society. You are the one who called soccer a male sport. And now for some reason you are trotting out tropes about female soccer players being les

“I’m so enlightened I forgot women play soccer” is definitely a weird take.

How are people still defending type erasure? Sure, it was “defensible” in the sense that there were reasons the choice was made. But it was clearly a bad choice (to many people at least) when it was made and the effects are still rippling t

Yeah, but electrical tape looks like garbage. Trade off is aesthetics vs ability to remove easily.

Agreeing. There is a ton of blatant misinformation being shared in this thread by people who seem utterly confident despite their apparently complete ignorance.

So much weirdly confident misinformation here. When LLMs do this we can it hallucination.

This is all untrue so far as I understand. A research group can file for a new drug application (or abbreviated new drug application) for an existing drug. There is no mandate that an NDA sponsor be a manufacturer or the existing manufactur
