Not sure which other nano robots you're referring to, but this is more like a custom-built protein that falls apart when it's near specific types of molecules.

Approximating the station as a hollow shell of constant thickness, the mass would scale with the surface area. The volume would scale proportional to the surface area to the power of 3/2. So 6.6x the mass gets you 6.6x the surface area

Also, and critically, the server always responds with an HTTP 400 status code. This prevents caching in most browsers, so the request will be made again when a key is repeated.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a roadster full of data storage crystals hurtling down the highway.

Amazing how being able to visualize the problem reveals available optimizations!

Also worth noting that even a 30% tariff on panels just makes them cost about what they did in 2015. It does nothing to the other significant costs of solar tech - inverters, supporting structures, land, installation labor. At worst it will

I feel like this AI is an attempt at making death marketable. And I mean that seriously. I think you and eismcc are right, that it is taboo even when it is arguably the best option for the patient. It would be difficult for a doctor to say

Now we just need another robot that can take the clothes out of the dryer and lay them out flat for the folding machine.

Sounds like a good way to discover those timing-dependent scenarios before they happen in production ;)

The suit literally shocks the person wearing it? Looks unpleasant - do you anticipate any safety issues?

I guess that would explain the insanity surrounding the node labels. Each number has position:fixed and a coordinate relative to the scroll position of the viewport. They update their position slightly out of sync with the scrolling motion,

At the very least, thrusting radially away from the sun while moving towards it during an elliptical orbit would reduce the energy of the orbit.

In that sense and given the 3D nature of space, a true 2D display would be quite an achievement.

This is so exciting. I feel like we're really at the cusp of a complete change in our expectations of how we treat disease, what cures look like, what they cost, and the range of improvements that can be made to people's lives.

I'm admittedly inexperienced with WebAssembly, but I'm a little unclear on going beyond the basic "hello world" implementations. Is the idea to write an entire application in WebAssembly, or is it to break out parts of t

With a few dozen flips you can achieve a greater likelihood that you're flipping the most biased coin on the planet, and stop the game.

Even with italics, 2-3 emphasized words per sentence is way too much to take seriously

It's currently down due to rate limit problems. Unfortunate that the script checks the http response code, yet the server returns 200 status for an error message...

What if we consider software candidates like tradespeople? How do electricians and welders demonstrate their ability in an interview?

If that's what the example is showing, then it's just obscuring two unrelated try/catch blocks. One for the outcome of the request, and one for the uncertainty of the element reference.

That's a really cool offline experience. Works almost too well - I would have never expected to be able to simply load the site via the url when offline.

We have gotten very good at nearly perfectly rendering images that accurately capture the behavior of light and materials, but I feel like to produce truly convincing CGI we need to improve the imperfections that we have come to expect fr

I don't see it as being very different than using someone's face to promote something. For example, should a lifelike digital model (or even a still image) of an actor's face still generate royalties for the actor's fami

Is there a supported way to run non-android games (esp. my steam library) on a chromebook yet? I want to want this chromebook, but I also want to be able to play games from my library while travelling. Even just games with linux support wou

I've had an aspiration done. It was mostly just uncomfortable 3/10, with a few moments of pretty sharp pain more like a 6/10. However, those moments were brief and it was totally fine afterwards. I also turned down some more
