Is the misalignment _necessary_? I always thought the hole got its rotation from the infalling matter.

I’m only an enthusiast, but my understanding is that it’s the black hole’s rotation that causes poles in 3D. The visible accretion disc, I believe lies in the plane in which the black hole rotates.

It’s great that you’re finding a way to pay people quicker that’s less bad than payday loans! What stops employers from paying wages more often right now? When I worked in the US, some places would pay you every two weeks. With instant bank

Not OP; I read it like this: employers get to decide which portion of an employees wages are available for Payflow’s early withdrawal scheme. After that percentage of the wages has been withdrawn through Payflow, the remainder will be paid

Thank you Chris, Nick, Sam and Janelle for putting things so eloquently. Distill is probably my favorite project I've had the fortune to contribute to, and that's largely due to you and everyone else involved. I'll continue t

Out of curiosity I just ran some counts using `jq` on our metadata[0]: We seem to have published 48 articles overall[1], of which 22 list at least one of our editors as an author. 10 of those list an editor as the first author. That leaves

Me too! In a much simpler setting a former colleague of mine, Jacob Hilton, tried such an exploration for the vision part of a OpenAI CoinRun model. It’s the first part of this paper: https://distill.pub/2020/understand

Ah, I think I may see the missed connection! It's like a jigsaw puzzle because archaeologists really do assemble fragments of old scripts. Sometimes the translation efforts can only give you probabilistic answers that in turn influence

Well done, I particularly enjoy the rug-plot layout and the “marginalized” densities actually being in the margin of the diagram. \o/ Aligning axes across plots/small multiples is such an underused technique imho! (Have you consid

Duuuude the mixer effects (reverb, filter, distortion, etc) are super responsive and wonderfully inspiring to play with — I haven’t even changed the pattern and had minutes of fun just playing with multiple effects at once, using two finge

We can even engage in idle speculation; maybe the author uses “boat” to make the situation feel easier to grasp. A boat being stuck sounds like it has less consequences than a ship being stuck.

by ludwigschubert 6y ago
We can make it that place! And I think you’re correct; anything that’s shipping containers is a ship in my book.

Thanks for illustrating that aspect of space time!

Maybe driving similarly engaged your sense of navigating the external world? (I have no personal experience of the effect you describe.)

It's funny how there are regional differences in how to avoid the postage fees. I remember friends switching sender and recipient on the letter and then not using any stamps instead. (Not that I ever tried that myself.) I had never hea

EDIT: I shouldn't have run to Wikipedia; much better explanation at scene.org (go figure): https://gotpapers.scene.org/?p=849 -- PLK = "PostLagerKarte", literally "mail storage card". It was (abolis

Come on, that’s neither helpful nor kind. The controls were larger in previous OSes, and now look like they violate Apple’s own 44pt minimum size target.

Yeah, funds, or anyone who makes investments essentially. Unlike banks, which focus on the sale and generating revenue from fees etc. rather than investment insight. Investopedia isn't always the best source, but for definitions they c

I think it’s a fair ask - imagine using fish on a monochrome screen, for example. I could imagine using underlines or inverse text frontage autocomplete in such a theme/mode. Let’s see if someone here already knows such a theme, or get

Is anyone aware of efforts to build a a “strict mode”-type of setting, or a SQLite competitor? I’d love to use a single file as db with stricter type enforcement.

Yeah! This particular article is part of a Thread and so didn’t go through peer review. Here’s an example of peer review on GitHub from an older article: https://github.com/distillpub/post--activation-atlas/issues

Cool to see this upvoted here, though I will say this is fairly deep down the weeds — if you’re new to the topic of analyzing trained neural networks neuron by neuron, I’d suggest starting with our introductory article: https://d

Not sure what you mean, are you missing a specific ad blocker? There are some ad blockers for Safari, both on macOS and on iOS. 1Blocker, AdGuard, Wipr, are examples I know to work well. (Many are paid, though, or have paid “premium” tiers.
