For example, the double pendulum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum . That said, the phase space of a double pendulum is bounded.

The Heisenberg picture and the Schrodinger picture the same, sometimes using one basis is more useful and more intuitive than using the other. Pilot Waves, on the other hand, are pretty much always superfluous. Please link me, if you have s

I almost got killed at an intersection because of a careless driver who decided to turn right into me, as I sped through the intersection. Thankfully, I was able to slam the breaks in time. Unfortunately, my friend's bike's back b

I remember reading about this as an undergraduate and thinking how attractive his ideas were -- I think Verlinde's ideas have been around for some time. Back then it seemed like few people were giving these ideas thought. I hope more p

I replied to your other comment, and my stance is unchanged. You got lucky in assuming what the game would be about. If you had done the same thing with other games (e.g. Pokemon Go) you would have completely missed the opportunity to disco

You did not just say that. Alright -- here we go. What you said is not true at all, and frankly, it sounds arrogant (which I don't mind, except in this case, you're wrong). Let's go ahead and apply your logic to Pokemon Go:

Exactly what I thought too, man. Don't listen to these people. They aren't providing useful responses.

Why do several people here think that "it's a video game" has any merit or descriptiveness to it? It's obviously a video game. The real question is, what kind of game is it? And this question was not answered by the vi

Yeah that's one terrible video. Literally tells me nothing about the product. First thing that popped into my mind was Pokemon Go, but for Mario. Is this a Mario branded game which gamifies running in real-life encouraging kids to run

Was this the paper that made Feynman the father of "nanotechnology"? This paper's spirit reminds me of Leonardo Da Vinci's futuristic drawings. Incredible that this was written in 1959. I keep thinking to myself when rea

Your statement is true if we only consider a single machine. But, people using node.js are most often writing networked applications (right?).

This seems like nitpicking to me.

"its because they used js" But, this was intentional. As for them implementing threading, I am not sure about the history here. Was it like: "We used JS and knew we were going to have a ST environment, but because people want

Sorry, that's just how I talk. If we had a past interaction, good to see you again. "Sounds cool so I will avoid it for now, I'll use the old way, get it done and then have fun with it after we solve the problem" I actua

That's because super "smart" people are taught that they will have 2-3 weeks to prepare for their biggest problems. In real life, big problems happen overnight, and you wake up to shitstorms. That said, some brilliant people

I'm just stating a fact about people locked up in isolated rooms against their will and how that's institutionalized. Is it OK? Idk. Is it true? Yes, it is physically true. We shouldn't avoid stating facts which make people u

Like others have said, callback hell is fixed with async/await, yield/generators, and even lightweight libraries like fibers and promises. Personally, I dislike promises, and I don't use them at all. That said, you have plent

I tend to get downvoted to hell a lot, so I can't downvote you, because I don't have enough karma. But when you say "callbacks and/or weird promise logic" I can't help but cringe a little bit. Syntax really dep

This is why node is powerful when used with AWS Lambda, you can treat CPU bound tasks as if they were IO. You can also do this by routing the job to a different processor on the same machine. Node is best when used as a relay or hub between

Your example (sputtering charge onto insulator) is of a similar flavor (but with E fields). The OP article seems like a monkey-patch way of "self-repair". Should we also create a self-repairer for the self-repairer? Little arms re

https://www.google.ch/patents/US7157290 It looks like these people have patented a classical/macroscopic version of a similar idea. They talk about using a completely separate solenoid to deflect incoming ions. Un

It seems complicated to let our materials get damaged and then try to fix them on the fly. The earth protects itself from charged particles via a gigantic dipole field. Could the same be done with nano-electronics? Boards could be designed

Makes sense. Out of all of the permutations of functions, I see no reason why using the same function at every node would lead to an optimized network. I really commend the ML people out there that have developed an intuition for network ar

As usual, the title is misleading. The main idea is that a company called Kernel is putting forth $100m to start researching intrusive BCI technology (as opposed to nonintrusive BCI technology such as EEG/fNIRS/etc.). This seems a
