It seems like their tools and techniques might have value without achieving de-extinction [1]. If they can't find a way to profit off anything they've done, then I'd be worried. [1] https://theintercept.com/20

They should have defined the terminology. A rocket _engine_ is turbomachinery. A rocket _motor_ is a lump of solid propellant in a pressure vessel.

Nobody has figured out how to stop everyone else from extincting species. These people may be able to de-extinct some species themselves. Whichever thing you can actually do yourself is the solution [1]. [1] https://www.goodreads

If they copied anything you can see with "view source" and you haven't licensed it in that way, a lawyer could help you. If they copied the layout by writing their own code and creating their own assets, then I'm not sur

Inductors too. In a state-space model, capacitances and inductances are the state variables.

Anti-protectionism doesn't really apply when an adversarial country with no interest in a free market tries to seize a critical industry.

Not tricky at all. If someone is receiving counsel, then someone is giving counsel. Hiding behind a machine adds a pretty minor extra step to identifying the culprits, but does not create ambiguity over whether they are culpable. On the oth

High-assurance isn't really the culprit. It's more of a funding issue. If long NASA programs could save part of the first year's budget to use the second year, things would go a lot faster. You might get hired into an oversta

That's a better example than mine. I was trying to think of something that also sounded silly, since "blog" has always been kind of a dumb-sounding word.

Are you still referring to the scenario from the article, or a different one where it's a resource you use outside of court? > Here's how it was supposed to work: The person challenging a speeding ticket would wear smart glasse

You're still illegally providing legal counsel if you're not a lawyer, or commiting malpractice if you are. Using a machine to commit the same crime doesn't change anything. "Speech" would be like publishing a book

The specific scenario doesn't matter. It's illegal to represent someone else in court if you're not a lawyer. There are a lot of things that you can't get a second chance at if your lawyer messes up that suing them can&#

I suspect that's a bit like concluding that the internet is dead because nobody says "surfing the web" anymore.

I agree. They can develop and test the perception system on public roads using a vehicle with a human driver, and the controller on private roads.

I meant does gnu radio do anything else that simulink does, like have a solver or automatically set up sampling? Or is it just the data flow part?

I think that rollercoaster is why you're not supposed to take days off. Maybe try a non-stimulant if you can wait a month for it to start working?

If the vibration still meets the requirements, then yes. They're not going to chase arbitrary ideas of "better". In the physical world, you add some margin to the design so you can tolerate stuff like this. They can see the p

There's no real long-term dependence. Going off the meds just returns me to my natural, dysfunctional self. I don't usually do that because it's disruptive without benefit. The first type I tried happened to be right for me,

I resist doing any of that in the first place because it's just giving in to an unhealthy habit. The time and attention I spent cataloging was supposed to be for something else.

FYI the 500 academic license is for institutions. You can buy a student license for yourself for less than that.

The alternative to Matlab is not necessarily another programming language. Often, it's a purpose-built tool with maybe some scripting built in. That's what confuses software engineers about Matlab. They see code and think that the
