I'm fortunate, I've had the same dentist for 23 years and he's been consistently honest with me about what's necessary and what's not. I don't know what I'll do when he retires.

Not an expert but did work on haptic feedback in undergrad ~10 years ago. Unless there's been a breakthrough there are still a number of unsolved problems in the field making it difficult to develop the fidelity one would want for suc

From what I've read, psychotic episodes were preceded by exceedingly long meditation sessions. Essentially, don't meditate for more than an hour a day and you should be okay, the psychotic breaks have a higher tendency to happen

This is really good work, I played around with a script to calculate this info from GIS data but the drawing of the view didn't even occur to me.

Meditation can cause severe psychotic episodes in some people [1]. The author may not present the best evidence but meditation is dangerous for some percentage of the population's mental health. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.n

I believe the issue is that the surrounding materials of the torus in the TOKAMAK become highly radioactive due to neutron bombardment and decay accordingly. IIRC, there is some sort of Silicon Carbon based material that need to be economic

I am a strong proponent of Fusion energy and did some work on the subject in undergrad. This is not a major breakthrough, it's a benchmark. A major breakthrough would be materials that could withstand the neutron bombardment longer, th

I have a friend who was in grad school and found an "...and so it follows" proof that was in standard textbooks dating back decades. To this day he can't find anyone to fill in the remainder of the proof to get the result.

Neither side of the civil war believed that it should be celebrated after it was settled. Later revisionists put the statue in place as a means of furthering oppression. I think this is probably an ideal outcome given the circumstances.

I really wish we could evaluate the cost of these types of frauds. The article hints that there may be more fishy with Ozy Media than this one call. An easier example for my concern is Theranos. How many legit companies didn't get fu

If it's titled as management at the current company it looks like management to the next company. Your larger point is true but that title can be leveraged into a number of positions that are 'real' management so I wouldn&#x

So, stupid question, is it possible to train neural networks using 3D CGI that will then be somewhat performant in real life? Like, would a network be able to overcome the error due to switch between a 3d model and actual video?

They aren't friends but to say they "don't like eachother" seems a bit extreme. They both have mutual respect for each other from what I've seen and values the others contributions. They're colleagues in my b

Apologies, I rarely see data scientists from social science backgrounds.

That's horrifying, my litmus test for data scientists is whether they acknowledge KPI's are imperfect measures. In my experience, data scientists that come from hard science backgrounds (e.g. Physics and Biostats) tend to be much

I asked this in physics when I first heard the twin experiment. The answer comes from more complicated relativity based on acceleration and depends entirely on which reference frame you meet in. If you travel back to earth you age slower,

I'm glad the fetishization of longer hours to reach arbitrary deadlines is no longer as popular as it once was and beginning to receive pushback.

Not OP, but I imagine you can set maximum limits on the rate change of the RGB vector so it doesn't create a static but a more fluidic appearing image.

A living wage is defined in the dictionary as "a wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living." Now we could argue about what a normal standard of living qualifies as but I think we can agree that it includes

> This seems to be a very uncharitable take on what originalism means. You're basically saying the people believe in the paranormal and derive their rulings based on a séance. The first sentence on wikipedia provides a far less bias
