Oh great a bad in-group joke on a page used to onboard new people. Who is this even for? How is anyone supposed to know what they actually mean
243.

It's in no way interesting. It's a bunch of old, bad ideas duct taped together and renamed with nonsense words to both obfuscate what they're doing and establish an in-group language just as cults do.

I don't know how you can say it's irrelevant. Multiple standards can exist concurrently. Not even because they deserve to, but because people like them and are comfortable with them even if they are or aren't a bit crappy. Al

Crypto seems to have one actual rule and it’s “don’t fuck up” and they violated that.

I don’t think it’s anywhere close in terms of usability, but it is very powerful and capable.

There’s a huge mismatch between people who are science fans and people who are doing physics anywhere near particle physics. It’s quite hard to explain how the field is spinning it’s wheels squared against what people consider scientific pr

You mess with it by doing diagrammatic perturbation theory, that is, calculating Feynman diagrams. Zee or Weinberg could be good references. There’s also lattice QFT but you generally want to learn the perturbative methods first

It's fine. Haven't really noticed.

> All electrons participating in conduction travel at approximately the fermi velocity... at room temperature plus or minus a tiny fraction of a percent. > Your last point is wrong > To summarize, electrons are traveling in metals

Links [1] and [3] are wrong, and link [2] is correct but has nothing to do with this discussion. Link [1] is so full of errors it isn't even worth discussing. The pingpong ball analogy is wrong--it's all wrong. Link [3] commits th

Yeah it's not necessarily true. I think Innuendo Studios/Ian Danskin explains this mechanism very very well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzNANfNlTs Many people think Jeff Bezos should exist and have his wealth

No -- electrons travel at the Fermi velocity, which is about a tenth of the speed of light. You're talking about the drift velocity.

you should just try it. It’s not as bad as it looks. You’re reading an article in 5 minutes that contains probably a week’s worth of work or something.

yeah the ideal thing to happen here is for that money to be sent to a nonexistent address and for everyone involved to be arrested.

I don't really know how one does a part-time PhD. The kind of work that you produce during a PhD requires 4-6 years of full dedication. A part-time masters I could see.

are you making the argument that BECAUSE his ideas are not widely accepted they must be true? Come on.

Didn’t makerbot have those hot ends that were rebranded as disposable because they would just fail so often? I wonder if the new CEO seeing over R&D/operations was there for that.

An issue is that a lot of mediocre people got into decently ranked positions and are now mediocre interviewers, too.

I’m in no position to review the legitimacy of their report on this company, but their review of IonQ’s technology, a field I have a recent PhD in, is pretty bad. They might be right about the SPAC nonsense and the business aspects— I don’t

it's largely because when people claim the opportunities are the same even though the outcomes are different, they're lying. So, you just cut to the chase and try to improve the outcomes.

DeBoer does the classic thing of "Inventing a guy to get mad at." Are there people who think their ADHD has no downsides and give them superpowers? Sure. There's a lot of people on earth and a distribution of opinions. Why no

In ease of use KiCad seems to be on par with pads, orcad, altium, etc. Not all that different. It just lacks a lot of features.

You’re pointing out an extremely common issue with switch mode power supplies. It’s so common that it comes off like you’re calling the author an idiot. It’s not helpful —- you’re 100% not at all being helpful. The way to be helpful would b

so glad to hear none of the code you’re working on has ever leaked, even while it’s in development and being worked on. what the hell is wrong with you?
