At the old Exploratorium in the Palace of Fine Arts there was an exhibit that had a large 3-4m balloon filled with something heavy (Argon or maybe SF6?) and two points on the floor at the foci of the balloon. You could whisper at one focus

Perhaps, but due to the sampling of the distribution you would likely never know. If 95% of your samples fit in the top 3 bins, you can’t say much at all with certainty. Poisson, Gaussian, binomial, Boltzmann, gamma…

Oh, but trained on individual social media info, imagine the automated pig butchering scams you could run. Very profitable, and scalable worldwide! Big corps are good at fleecing the sheeple. Why let it go to the mom & pops?

Unless you have two beams, it would have to AC. You'd have to keep the series capacitance low enough that a significant amount of power is conducted (which might kill it). Remember that free space impedance is 377ohms sqrt(mu0/eps

I'd take this generally more seriously, if the number of licensed physicians in the US wasn't growing 3x faster than the population, or if the number of international medical graduates wasn't already 23%. The US population gr

Yeah, but the Mounjaro/Zepbound cost with injector in the UK is £139 for 4 weekly 5mg injections/month. They're still making over 90% margins. The margins in the US are completely insane >99%. https://www.simple

I'm interested. Any support for that? I looked around on Wikipedia and LinkedIn.

How can you make political hay out of a solved problem? Solving it, now that would be a BIG PROBLEM! If it's not immigrants then you would have to blame someone else and/or more explicitly cite race/ethnicity/religion. S

Once you have an online class with no proctored exams (or even biometric ID check) you don't know who took the class anyway. Frankly, that makes any "online degree" certification basically worthless without a proctored exit e

So you would be good with spending more money and even increasing total carbon footprint, if it just felt good? Seriously, if you're not going to measure anything or use logic, I'm not sure how you can even call them "defined

So basically, 99.8% margin the maximum they can charge (at ~15-30cents/mo) or 99.5% margin at $1000/mo for a $2.5 injector? Semaglutide has been in production since 2012 and approved by the FDA since 2017. There's a real chan

One thing to realize about MEMS is that it is mostly used for sensors (accelerometers, gyros, pressure, magnetometers) and actuators. There's a whole journal by that name. Fundamentally, an oscillator/resonator is the sensing of

I'd argue it's a step or two more manipulative. Not only do bad actors have the ability to generate moving images which are default believed by many, they also have the ability to measure the response over large populations, which

No one has been prosecuting it, or none of the 6000 some odd universities/colleges have discriminated in the last 20 years? I can believe the former, but not the latter. If it's the former, why do you think they would suddenly sta

You seem well versed in this. Has there been a prosecution for academic criminal discrimination or criminal conspiracy to avoid discrimination protection in the last 20 years? I mean there's Title IX, but the Supreme Court has blocked

Yeah, I don't think so. There's no paper trail. Whether it's in person interviews or not, having a "culture fit" isn't what's in the law. Unless, allowing in legacies is mandated from above and documented,

I'm all for a rant on how computer science isn't, but this attack on only the comments seems a bit over the top. Why not attack the posting of the pop-sci article with quotes so bad in the first place? My issue with the ScienceDai

Agree, and once you can lithographically pattern QD in for Red/Green it'll just be one layer of Blue PHOLED underneath. Cheaper and matched wear-out so burn-in is less visible. These aren't huge changes, but the steady pace o

It looked like his design incorporated space for a standard case. Actually, without a case I think there might be an interesting edge detail. That wouldn't affect functionality, and look cool too!

I agree with the basis of this, but it assumes that a significant portion of people derive their influence and motivation by in-person interaction. Once you take that at face value, there are going to be things you can get done with that to
