The article clearly mentions distributed learning and its really not that hard to generalise on literally any partially parallelizable computing problem with bandwidth limitations between the compute nodes.

Exactly. Flying for sport is expensive as it is today because safety has to be a priority (as it should). Add a requirement for new engines or major overhauls on old planes and the cost will spiral out of control. Besides, leaded fuel was

This is horrifying. When is the proliferation of these practices going to be stopped?

My guess from the article language is some kind of doppler shift analysis compared with ephemeris data and ground reference stations? Is that correct? Is it better than 100m?

Thats the sort of thing that will climax when video ads pause while you're not actively looking at them.

Ask for less fossil fuels and you shall have what you want. Take this as a warning. The lifecycle of oil and gas projects from exploration to production is decades. Disrupt it and you have long and deep energy shortages. We can stop usi

I don't think there's going to be a consumer application of this anytime soon. However this seems practical enough for big organizations to break things like TPM, clone credit/debit/SIM/NFC cards and do cybersecurit

As with all online communities HN is suffering from it's increased popularity. If you remember how Reddit was a good 10 years back, on every thread there would be 1-2 actual experts posting substantiated and well-sourced commentary on

Should the database turn out to be accurate it will turn the world of medicine upside down in 5 years. Although I have to admit that perhaps for the first time in my life I'm legitimately afraid of a terrorist attack.

I don't understand how parents in those schools don't go mental over this. Unless they don't know about it...

To me the most infuriating practice is that if you don't enable your location when you open google maps they will passive aggressively position your view at the most inconvenient place possibly, some times in the middle of the atlantic

Citations aren't facebook likes, the academic world should stop treating them as such. Studies with bad methodology, dead ends and all shorts of flaws are often cited for a range of different reasons. Seemingly unreproduceable studies

Actually I bothered calculating the CO2 emissions per mile for a 2021 diesel car with 88mpg nominal efficiency with the same factor (1.25) as this website and it turns out to just 145 grams of CO2/mile. Compared to Tesla's nominal

Electric motors might produce consistent torque but that torque isn't as high as you need for a truck. Certainly not without a transmission. Fuel cells might be more efficient than ICEs but you ignore power to weight ratios, performanc

With all those studies marking the ability of dogs to identify very specific diseases I'm curious as to why I've never heard of a causal biochemical mechanism being investigated. What are they really smelling? I find it hard to be

It's true for me too. Especially because of internet connected smartphones, when there's free time I waste it reading other people's thoughts instead of creating my own. I would not be the person I am today if I grew up in th

How are going to test drive cars then? You need dealers even when they're run by the manufacturer.

This post is incredibly sensationalist. By the looks of it because of covid and funding problems they decided to go ahead with some redundancies in less productive department such as pure mathematics and mediaeval studies. They are still be

Well there is gel chromatography, electrophoresis, light based techniques etc, but I don't know how well they fare for molecules of this size, sensitivity and relative concentrations.

It's technically feasible of course but the claims are ridiculous. You obviously can't fly anywhere in the world in 4 hours at mach 2, and the $100 price tag is just stupid, which further solidifies the sentiment that it's ju

You'd think they'd use some kind of chromatography to test each batch, right? And also test the reactors for contamination, after all bacterial toxins require bacteria. Don't they do this sort of QC?

Well it wasn't, but it's rapidly becoming more like Reddit, in a bad way. Most of Reddit's 50M active daily users are under the age of 18 as it's apparent by the front page, and the last few remaining older users are dri

It's quite surprising that so far I've never read your first point, not once, in any article. Another point is that if some other actor was planning to release this virus in China, they'd definitely do it in Wuhan. In the end

Personally I'm afraid that as soon as the wayback machine becomes popular enough, calls for its censorship will start the surface, along with takedown requests for IP. Is there a solution to this other than obscurity?

Definitely the most creative use of ferrofluid I've seen for a long time. However I fear that long term you might have problems with the ferrofluid separating, emulsifying or oxidizing. It would be interesting if we got updates on how

Unless you've been living under a rock, you should have noticed that most news publications are now paywalled. It's annoying but you can't just ban journalism. Blogs are dead, smaller websites are drowned by spam and new sear
