'Theoretically' is the right word for sure. iirc, the predecessor of the Wendelstein led to the bankruptcy of the engineering firms building the parts, because tolerances were so tight and they failed multiple times to land within

The sad thing is that Firefox actually does have proper support for touch screen but you have to manually enable it. The Flags are hidden no away and not available in the settings. I got a laptop/tablet hybrid to run Linux on, and it w

One of the problems is that if you run more studies, you are statistically more likely to eventually yield a statistically significant result. The tests that folks run are not designed for series of statistical tests, but for individual tes

They're wasted because it becomes this game where one side claims the other side didn't do it right, and the other side claims it's not described in sufficient detail, it takes years to actually disprove something if the othe

It doesn't break physics as we theorize it, but physics as we practice it. If someone found a working room temp and pressure, within a few years it would be used in labs around the world. Which is why the superconductor claim is such a

The worst about it is how much of other people's time their wasting. Other folks are trying to verify/disprove their claims. Of course it is some kind of measurement error. Do your due diligence before you claim that you broke phy

I think the difference is that a gas-powered car will keep driving when the gas indicator hits zero. You can still get a couple dozen miles at that points, and those are so important. Tesla is really doing you a disservice by not considerin

Agreed, with one caveat. Over time governments have more and more been trying to influence the reports. It all came to a head with the last one, where a set of researchers released their draft ahead of time in protest over undue influence.

Not sure anybody here appreciates social science, but I will never not give a shout-out to "Decoupling Rape" by Whiteman and Cooper. Such an authentic account, while still managing to stay relevant to abstract and higher-order deb

They're going to charge us twice. Once for emitting it, second time for sequestering it. The fight for subsidies up here in Canada is insane. The electricity generated is already more expensive then renewables, and soon they can pad th

It's amazing what kind of epic projects a thesis can motivate you to take on (rather than your thesis).

My guess is that they could have produced the same thing in roughly the same time without AI. Possibly with better results. Writing individual lines really is not the bottleneck.

I'm more curious about difference in wages. On the one hand, I would imagine that if two jobs pay is roughly in the same neighborhood, folks would choose based on WFH policy. On the other hand, offering remote work should really help i

Interesting, zoom doesn't support that in Linux, either. So I decided that I don't need that feature.

Interesting, I have not come across any broken websites in a while. Or well, there was a booking website recently where I switched to Chrome to have my booking go through. But it would need to be a lot of those instances before I would even

Also, I'm curious whether it takes more energy to fill the tanks from 60 to 80 psi vs 80 to 100 psi. Filling the tank until its full is not really a useful metric, would be more interesting to learn how much pedaling continuous operati
