That's interesting although from a quick skimming it seems that these studies are focused on the activity of the bot accounts. This might give a hint on their relevance but due to the fact that their activity is probably above average

Why do you pick the two extreme situations. Isn't there a possibility of a middle ground?

Sorry but how does it constitute a false justification? The short version of the proposal to build LHC was that " We would like to construct a machine to reach the energy scale we can't currently reach with Tevatron. This will all

I don't want to discuss whether sabine is making argument in bad faith or not. Or if she us just cherry picking claims from couple of researchers among thousands working/ed on LHC. But it is inaccurate to say the LHC is built to

My point was that sabine is claiming that the field is dying (or in a crisis). You can argue against string theory and quantum gravity research as much as you want. But this will not warrant sabine's conclusions about particle physics

I know that this will probably be down-voted to death but I don't like these hyperbolic takes. I know that Sabine did use this title for click-bate purposes that she is now mostly doing YouTube videos (she had horrible experience that

I agree that optimizing for lower occupancy can yield significant performance gains in specific cases, especially when memory latencies are the primary bottleneck. Leveraging ILP and storing more data in registers can indeed help reduce the

I tend to always assume that when people say absolutely no reason, they mean no reason provided. What makes it worse is that there is usually no way to know because they cannot even get to talk to someone. I understand that fraud detection

I like this writeup as it summarizes my journey with optimizing some cuda code I wrote for an LHC experiment trigger. But there are few comments on some details. There are 65536 registers per SM not thread block and while you can indirectly

For gravitational waves discovery, Nobel prize went to the designers of the LIGO which was done long before we actually built it. The example that will fit more your idea would be Carlo Rubbia who got the award in 1984 for leading the CERN

If this was true then we would find that jobs with physical labor pays much more than what it currently pays.

As a physicist, my reaction to this is how bizarre is that. Maybe he deserves a nobel prize but in physics? Also arguing that NN is used in physics so we can argue nobel prize is okay is like asking for Stephan Wolfram to be awarded Nobel p

You will need to have a field theory to go beyond what MOND in original form does. It does only modify Newtonian gravity in the non-relativistic regime, and it applies well at the scale of galaxies but does not address relativistic effects

Is there actually any proof that this is the case? or this is just an assumption because it is a Russian company? and wouldn't this logic apply to every company in the world no matter what the country is? I'm not trying to start a
