It just doesn't matter until it does. It's fine to work at a higher level of abstraction. But people who understand a lower level of abstraction can do things people will call "impossible" with fault injection exploits,

Sure, your standards are what you set them as. Settle for what you think is appropriate. It does mean you should whine less though.

Well, I simulated it and the numbers seem to agree with you. The example is interesting. I still have trouble seeing why my original reasoning doesn't hold though. I'll give an example, if anyone can clear up the issue that would

> Your winning ticket doesn't affect the average number of winners. I think this is a good hint that the conclusion isn't true. Just think about what it would mean if this were true for a sample of lotto winners. For a winner,

I think you could reasonably describe that as "pattern matching at the wrong level". If you tell most people the first answer is wrong they will go up a level or two and work out the correct answer.

I'm trying to visualize the amount of water here, but it's hopeless unless an elementary student can calculate how many oil drums it would fill or football fields it would cover to a depth of one yard.

I think this misses a really important political dimension to advice. Sometimes people tell you to do things they want you to do for their reasons, instead of what's in your best interest. It can be really hard to tell when that is h

Like when cigarettes are replaced with lollipops in cartoons, you can debate if it does anything for kids or changes the meaning of a show or even matters at all, but you call it censorship. That's what it is, by definition.

Sure, you can have them learn by ear or learn by sheet, both possible. According to the analogy you can't do engage without doing either show or tell. Which one doesn't matter.

But the reason they are a student is because they can't play the music. Showing them the notations and demonstrating how to play it are steps towards them playing it themselves.

Not sure why the negative votes on this one, one of the only takes that doesn't make me feel insane so far. I'll reword my understanding of it. Society requires effort and investment that doesn't produce immediate material be

Trust but verify. If you're doing your homework you should be able to notice things not lining up and ask the model about them. Human teachers can also make mistakes (though usually less than an AI hopefully) and it's the same pro

It's not only about hitting a human. Of course you can say the risk is small if you pick the smallest target? Houses, roads, barns, gas stations, and infrastructure makes up a small but relevant part of the land area here. We already h

Why do you think that qualifier is random? There's very little risk when things hit the ocean, it's a non populated area. That's why we do launches over it. In a populated area, there are things like houses and roads which ca

Did you see the size of the pieces they found? Do you believe junk the size of a car door falling at terminal velocity on a populated area is a risk "so small as to be unmeasurable"?

Not my area of expertise but I believe the explanation is: the radiation profile is blackbody radiation proportional to the heat of the flame. The metal salts color the flame by absorbing light and re emitting it according to their electron

Those options aren't mutually exclusive though. You can use an ad blocker and pay for the service at the same time.

Yes it's very confusingly worded. "->Should do ... ->Or ... Throughout the week." Not sure why they worded it that way, maybe adults with busy schedules engage less with _ per day than _ per week recommendations.

Luckily this is a very common situation for people, so there is a good body of research to answer your question! A good answer is about 30 mins of moderate cardio activity a day: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheet

First of all, I take no responsibility for your safety, I'm just some person on a forum. That being said, it's all a function of how much light enters your eye. You can look up the exposure limits of the human retina for different

Best bet is to buy two pairs and stick one in the path of the beam with a sensor or target behind it. Otherwise you're looking up charts for the materials spectral absorption in your lasers emission band

The comment you made questions how much excersise operating a bailer involves, which is what I responded to. I don't see anything in your comment or the parent talking about how common that excersise is, which is why I offered it as an

It's a pretty significant workout. Hooking up, detaching, cleaning and maintaining a bailer is a lot more effort than even a good distance walk. The statistics you're quoting are more so due to the fact that most people in rural a

Yes, passively looking for devices is very different from noteing each device, tagging it with a location, and adding it to a central database.

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol. It's "normal thing" is to connect two devices. It CAN identify and locate devices by abusing beacons, but saying "that's what Bluetooth does" is crazy. That's like a falco

I agree with most of that, but I feel like I can tell the difference between "strongman" and "out of shape and overweight" pretty easily.

"vast" is a pretty non specific word so I can maybe see why you would think that? I feel like it's pretty obvious from context I'm not talking about an inland sea here. The quoted 5000 "acre-feet" in that proje

The issue of finding a location that has dramatic elevation change, a basin capable of storing vast amounts of water, and a suitable source/sink for pumping make pumped hydro difficult to deploy. Then there are additional logistics cha

It doesn't. This model isn't an alternative to CO2 based atmospheric warming models, it just explains a very recent trend in ocean temperature. This branched off a discussion about recent temperature trends. Everyone asking ques
