This is exactly the kind of problem NetLOGO is geared toward modelling and solving. It is very much like the LOGO (turtle graphics) you might have learned as a tween, but multi-agent, so you can model the behaviour of several types of cars

There are people who ascribe all kinds of different brain states to binaural beats. But as of yet, I don't think anyone has ever done a "blind" test, where they listen to binaural beats that are supposed to imitate an LSD tri

I'll have to dig up my old website and offer it to them. It was entirely flash, and we went overboard with every feature we could possibly toss in. I had to eventually take it offline, because instead of potential customers, I got a ga

Then they would also need to add ham. Ham and Pineapple is what Canadians call Hawaiian Pizza. Not sure why Hawaiian, but we like it up here.

I did some experimenting with RPi assembler a handful of years back, since I used to do a lot of x86 assembler throughout the 90's. If you're interested, here are 6 completely different ways to print Hello World in Assembler for t

Do you know of Jeremy Singer-Vine's mailing list* 'Data Is Plural'? He's the one person I think would have the datasets on hand, or a pretty good idea where they might be found. * https://www.data-is-plural.com

In wartime, he is their Commander in Chief. A common wartime saying is: The enemy of my enemy, is my friend. I don't know what his policy was like before Russia invaded, but right now that's on pause, and his job is to lead his co

Yet Elon took @X from the guy who used it for 16 years without even blinking. It has certainly been less than a smooth transition fraught with absolutely random policy decisions.

An AI mindmap. It would also act like an AI trainer at the same time, because people would follow the paths that lead them to the answers and detail they were looking for. But at the same time, what you get on your screen when you give your

One thing this shows, besides how they are all related or not, is just how many models are out there that nearly everyone has never heard of. Quite impressive.

I have probably too many cores on my music production Mac, and I definitely would rather have faster single-threaded performance, even if it meant half the cores I currently have available. I mean, I'm pretty happy with it. But the wor

Every generation has its PGP / Clipper Chip / etc battle. Eventually we'll lose. But hopefully we're not ready to give up yet. I read today that the younger generation grew up with and is so used to surveillance they don

Same for the 70's and 80's music cassette bootlegging scene. Some of the tapes were quite unlistenable because they were so degraded from being a copy of a copy of a copy. The irony is that AI is great at cleaning them up!

Does McDonalds show every product they sell in their ads? Are their ads 45 minutes or 5 full pages long? Nope, they only show you enough to let you know they have something you want, and they do it within the limits of a regular advertiseme

Yes, ice cream that melts into what resembles a soapy sponge, and takes weeks to finally disappear from the sidewalk is scary. Thankfully there still are ice cream makers that use actual cream, and not whatever this modern concoction is. So

The Peanut Butter Parfait from the ice cream truck in our neighbourhood is $8. I think that has a lot more to do with why people aren't buying as much as they used to.

Nice. Thanks for the links. We had a Korean ESL student live with us for a few months. I was shocked when he was shocked that we run the fan blowing down the bedroom halls. I had never heard of this Fan Death, and he was having a quandary b

They tend to be near the engine, and not the opposite end of the vehicle, though. The electric motor is right beside the passenger-side rear wheel.

When I was 10, admittedly older than that, my friends and I took corn from a corn field and made a corn cob pipe, and put some stolen parental tobacco in it. Nobody told us you don't simply burn things in raw corn cobs - there's s

Yea, one of my high schools had a smoking area as well. Two actually - the official one, and the one on the opposite side of the parking lot where all the metalheads hung out. I thought it was weird that the other high school didn't ha

Something to notice in the line drawing: The rear is powered by an electric motor. I assume that's to get it moving in the first place before there's enough momentum for this engine to keep it going.

I think the only way to demonstrate it to lay people is to rephrase it as the odds of picking the wrong one right off the bat. If it's 2/3 odds that you chose wrong, and I remove one card, did that change the odds that you already

It reminds me of S. Korean "fan death." The common belief that sleeping with a fan on can kill you by suffocation (among other "explanations") was and is a way to convince people to conserve electricity, and nothing more

I used an entire deck of cards (52 of them) to demonstrate this to a friend, and he still wouldn't believe it. I gave up explaining it after that. It's really easy to get people arguing about this one, even though the correct answ

It's interesting that people seem to have focused on the child working, but thought nothing of the child apparently smoking a pipe.
