The article says that the two diagonal elements in the table of those four combinations, U = RI (or dPhi/dt = R dQ/dt, the classical resistor) and Phi = RQ (the purported memristor) describe the same fundamental element, the resis

General relativity will probably add some effects like that, but then quantum electrodynamics adds light scattering off of light, so the analogy is still ok as far as analogies go.

No, if you want to think of gravity in analogy to light, you can see every mass as analog to a fully transparent light source. There is nothing in this universe that can absorb gravity.

And the twitter thread is what is good and should be read. The piece in the NewYorker makes it look like DePalma's work makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of the extinction of the dinosaurs, while the twitter thread

The complaint in that tweet was not in itself about the clothing style, but about DePalma's whole public behaviour that clearly tries to put media impact above scientific method. You are being intellectually lazy and superficial by not

Yeah, always funny to think about the fact that tyrannosaurs are much closer to iphones than to stegosaurs.

No, no new galaxies and matter, just more empty space, with the space between us and the further out galaxies expanding so fast that they become inaccessible even at the speed of light, then those only half as far will disappear behind this

You might also want to mention early that when you talk about the length of a row or column, you do not mean its (thanks, Apple, for autocorrecting that to it’s) length (i.e. number of elements), but its L2 norm. That just caused me to lose

Looks like the list counts complaints that a course does not exist as a recommendation, or why is the Crypto II course on coursere in the list? What was the original start date, September 2014 or 2013?

Nah, your original myopia was probably just overcorrected (it is easy, overcorrecting myopia in a subjective acuity test results in a smaller and so seemingly darker and sharper percepted image). Your result of ten years of training in prob

Yes, the description is technically correct (the best kind of correct...), but as an explanation it is garbage because it hides the point to be explained behind subtlety.

The problem with that argument is that a constant acceleration of 1g is an astronomically huge acceleration (for comparison, it corresponds to the surface gravity of a stone-and-iron ball with a whopping 12000km in diameter!). The most extr
