The evidence is not what you would make it seem, nor are counter-arguments based on theology. See the the rebuttal to Coyne I posted above if you have an open mind.

I think in an economic sense I estimate the amount of utilization more pizza will give me, and once I know how much costlier the next size will be per square inch, only then I conclude if it's worth it or if "I'm not really h

I do a similar cost comparison when eating pizza by determining how much bigger (more square area) the next size up is. If all you have is a non-scientific calculator, the trick was to divide the square of the radius of each pizza (since y

There was the time they used a Land Rover to climb a dam using a winch (Top Gear episode). Perhaps for entertainment, but still, it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZTa2tgJTs

The boostback burns in that video are amazing. Lots of dynamics in what looks like a shock-induced interface of the rocket exhaust and hypersonic atmosphere.

This looks like a cloud-enabled way to scale up agent-training for reinforcement learning, am I correct? If so, this could be a great enabler for developing robotic controls. I'm surprised that the article does not mention "rein
