An infinitely long lever? So in theory you can move absolutely anything, but in practice it takes an infinite amount of time to make even the smallest change happen? Yeah, OK, could be right.

Yeah, it certainly /can/ work. For example in New Zealand in 2017: The labor party (our big centre-left party) had an unpopular/uninspiring leader and was polling terribly. The existing leader stepped down and Jacinda Ardern

Absolutely! Also, I tried this and the game agrees: Hope -> Anti-life -> universe -> a nova -> a world -> butcher bacterium -> bird of prey -> serpent -> hunter -> dire wolf -> water -> rock

I’m right there with you (and also a late T1 here). Pizza is sooometimes manageable for me now with extended boluses on a pump and a closed loop to “mop up” what’s left. It’s definitely a “vibes” based dose calculation though haha. My vote

Haha, I think you have mildly violated your own rule 2! Anyway, you're right that almost any statement about nutrition and diabetes can be disagreed with and picked apart. Ultimately, nutrition is complex and highly personal and expone

Yeah, a split ring washer there is probably not doing much. Possibly even making things worse. Given it's more or less impossible to sufficiently torque a wing nut, there are actually not many great solutions... A dab of low strength l

If you're talking about split-ring lock washers, I would think again. They do not accomplish any kind of locking, and may make vibration-induced loosening _worse_ by providing a small opening force. They are useless for almost all purp

Hmm, we have actually ruled out quite a lot of that sort of thing... For example we're pretty sure there's nothing like a "local hidden variable", e.g. a little deterministic process in an electron determining if it&#x27

Cool, thanks for the link it's always interesting to see what's out there (there's so much interesting code around!). My quick look at that makes me think it's more like a modern SIMION than a modern TRANSPORT. I'm

Yup! Still used all the time! And both (IMHO) super un-ergonomic.

Unfortunately it’s for my work so not currently public. One chunk of it which I would love to open source sometime, is basically just TRANSPORT but modern Python. Despite being a million years old, just second order matrix-style beam optics

I recently started using JAX for some ion-optics work in accelerator physics. I have found it very very good. The autodiff stuff is magical for doing optimisation work, but even just as a compiled-numpy, I have found it very easy to get hig

You say the genuine motivation would be: "I acknowledge my flaws and I'm willing to put in the effort to change myself for the benefit of my wife" But... How do I know which actions will "benefit" my wife? I argue t

I think your reaction is common, your mindset is one that I recognize in myself and causes me many insecurities in relationships both personal and professional. However, it's worth saying that: Being intentional about relationships is

I mean, that’s just completely wrong though! (1) It attempts to wrap and then substitute, which is nonsense (2) it doesn’t even expand the string you give it! That f-string in there is basically a no-op and (3) it truncates to only the firs

I feel like it will certainly need to be a hybrid approach for the moment. They’ll get a long way running small highly specific and tuned models locally on the neural engine for a lot of stuff. But, at some point, people are going to expect

No, that misunderstands things. The technical iOS features are a relatively small part of it (Yes, there's a user dialog you have to pop up to get an IDFA, that's great!). But apps COULD pretty trivially work around that. There ar

I mostly agree, and certainly a list of numbers or maybe a log plot would be better if the goal was communicating the raw data. Certainly the click-about jumpy interface is pretty janky. However there’s one thing I think this does better t

Perhaps there was more to it, but as told — that’s a story of incredible hubris! Truly amazing to fly across the world to tell Mongolians how to live on the steppe.

Curiously it’s almost exactly half an order of magnitude (30*10^0.5 = 94.9)

That brings up a question for me: Are there people with wildly different near and far prescriptions whose vision would be improved by looking at the world through this device which reprojects it at a fixed optical distance such that a singl

You’re right, though I suspect you could increase that “max” current figure quite substantially if we’re assuming this is an underwater ROV and the wire has water cooling for free. You’d need to be pumping a whopping 300A/mm^2 through
