There's a medflight helicopter pad not far from my place out in the country. It's just a small concrete pad on a lot and when it is dispatched it ascends straight up to what I'd guessed was 300' but could easily be 500&

Perform an experiment. Ask them all to take a month off and see which has greater impact and over which timescales. Usefulness and value have different dimensions that can be orthogonal or even in opposition to one another. Many of us have

I absolutely love these little capabilities that (cheap) SDR opens up to pretty much everybody.

I think sending people directly to GNU Radio is a bit of a risk. Sending folks that just learned how to spell SDR deep into the bowels of DSP is a bit steep of a learning curve that many might equate with a brick wall. A little over ten ye

Sure, but it could get absorbed/radiated away in the base material.

Is it gas stovetop? If so, it could be that the water vapor coming from the eggs no longer mixing with the hot gases coming from the flame around the pan, allowing it to drop below the dew temp (?) and allowing it to condense right above th

It almost certainly doesn't violate our understanding of thermodynamics, but it's not clear that it would have to in order to condense ambient water vapor from the atmosphere. From the paper [1]: Remarkably, when these amphiphili

A buddy of mine was a director in a metrology integration firm that did nothing but install lidar, structured light and other optical measurement solutions for auto assembly plants. He had a couple dozen people working full time on new mod

Of course not, but how did we get to that point with materials science and chemistry? We’re basically in the stone ages of understanding how to interact with synthetic intelligence.

And? What other engineering domain operates on a fundamentally predictable substrate? Even computer science at any appreciable scale or complexity becomes unpredictable.

This is where SesameAI seems to be heading. If you haven't yet, try the demo, it's definitely flawed at the moment but shows some potential for conversational UX.

I've been trying to learn how to cook with stainless steel without everything sticking all the time. My present understanding is to find the sweet spot between hot enough for the Leidenfrost effect to keep the food up off the surface

I agree that it's a tired argument, but there appears to be two separate things being discussed in this little corner of HN. Clarity in the problem it's being asked to solve, and confidence that the answer it has is correct. I ca

Like your brain when you know you know a word but it's just not surfacing in your mind. I'm guessing I'm not that different from the average human and I can 'feel' something physically while I'm searching for t

I haven't really found it interesting for technical content but do think it's somewhat useful for hashing out more subjective and/or personal things like goals, difficulties, conflict, etc.

I (also?) felt the 'words used less often' were much easier to connect to as a conscious effort. I pointed chatgpt to the article and pasted in my results and asked it what it could surmise about my writing style based on that.

I agree. But I will say that at least in my social circles I'm finding that a lot of people outside of tech are using these tools, and almost all of them seem to have a healthy skepticism about the information they get back. The ones
