No, they're pointing out the ways that explanation is dishonest. You cannot look at the political landscape and tell anyone in good conscience that officials will use an honest interpretation of the law.

You don't. I can recommend my daily driver, a naturally aspirated charcoal furnace and several large blocks of copper.

I feel like you took an extremely uncharitable reading of the article and missed the point. It's not a manifesto against technological progress, it's a reminder to consider the downsides of these technologies as well as the benefi

Thanks for taking the time to write that out, it was very engaging to read.

I can recommend a textbook called Probabilistic Robotics by Dieter Fox, Sebastian Thrun, and Wolfram Burgard. There's good coverage of Kalman and information filters in the first few chapters.

Do you mean can't be changed on a live system? It's very easy to change a hard-coded password, just recompile the source and flash. That could definitely be what OP is referring to if they pushed OTA firmware upgrades.

I understand that this is probably my ignorance making me kind of an ass here, but my gut response is "obviously?". They're pressure waves, literally forces acting directly on the plant! Imagine reporting that plants can grow

Definitely the fault of the person clicking tiles on a webpage and not the company that built, trained, "tested" and deployed the system with that data...

Maybe it's actually a genius brand choice. Most people wouldn't remember http error codes even if they've seen 404 pages before. Only scrambles the nerds.

Why are you asking them to recognize that? That's explicitly their point.

Music is a fantastic option. I've always loved listening but didn't dig into it for a long time. I imagined myself getting into synthesizers and DAWs and figured I didn't need another hobby that keeps me at the workbench or c

I have family with diabetes and I feel some empathy with your situation. I've felt that second hand anxiety when my cousin started partying recklessly in uni and not managing it super well. You're helping her manage it and that m

Physicians don't study physics, they have medical degrees. You're thinking of physicists.

The very first thing in the article is a description of the exploitation of native populations in uranium mining. It couldn't be more on topic.

I agree with the sentiment that greater freedom of expression is a noble goal and society loses something with these soft restrictions. Having a catalog of unmentionables is not a new thing though, and definitely is not "unacceptable i

It's a more abstract kind of dimension. The vector is only one dimensional because it has a factor of one unit vector (only one associated "direction". A Bivector has two factors of unit vectors to describe a 2 dimensional re

There's also a doom metal band called Bell Witch[1]. I can't say I know this event is the inspiration for the name but I'd be surprised if it was just coincidence. [1] https://www.bellwitchdoom.net/

I agree completely with your first paragraph, and disagree completely with your second. "Futility" is subjective, and the whole purpose of the thought experiment is to point out that our predication of "futility" or real

Conductors carry electrical current but have resistance, so you lose power to heat. Superconductors have effectively zero resistance so you don't lose power as they conduct. We can make superconductors, but they only work at extremely

Here's a question: do you think you're asking leading questions? Regardless of the answer you expect. Do you think ignoring the points in the original comment and asking a question about something we can only speculate on is leadi

I made my point above. You're the one with nothing to say, you lead with a generic question.

If you'd like to ponder this question and more, please sign up for a course called "Philosophy of Science". It won't help answer it, but it's easy marks.

It should become a modifier so you can add psychotic energy to any emoji. I support adding as much complexity as possible until emoji transcends languages to become the ultimate communication medium or collapses under the weight.

I do appreciate you providing some relevant information instead of just telling everyone else they're wrong. You still haven't put any of your own ideas on the line though. Is there an approach you believe is correct, and why? Her

Thank god a philosopher has arrived to tell us we're all wrong. Being so wise, you must have the correct answer for us. What's it going to be today "you're not smart enough to understand my genius solution" or &quot

I don't see how this is dissonant to you? I will occasionally eat beef, I'll never eat octopus. I helped my farm friends raise calves for 4H in junior high. They're dumb as bricks, don't think they knew they were food ev
