Control of actions and beliefs of citizens absolutely. But again that's to maintain internal stability. You'd need to give specific examples for the latter point.

But isn't that through the lens of of self-determinism? China sees Taiwan as a domestic conflict between ROC/PRC, i.e. that Taiwanese are Chinese ( Han). They would never say the same about the U.S. or Russia for example. Not sayi

China is culturally an ancient agrarian society focused more on defending farmland than conquering nations. This is not really comparable to the U.S. which is an ideology-based nation that inherited European imperialism traits. China is no

Joe at The Drive has been writing a ton of Space Force propaganda articles lately. The Defense Budget is getting debated now and this "news" really does seem aimed at Congress. Space Force and SDA want to fund their constellation

If they did, the World Wars proved the point, such conflicts are in nobody's interest.

You have to also account for the free 1/8. Really enjoyed returning all my cars at 7/8 and them considering it returned full :). Part of it is most fuel gauges still read full anyway.

Cleaning and turning around keys-in to keys-out in 15 minutes probably rarely happens at Hertz in what I've witnessed (I've rented >100 times from them). But that said, most cars probably will come back at least 50% charged, so

We couldn't use seawater for concrete today, again because of the rebar.

Could also say FB newsfeed is biased towards engagement--whether that be mob behavior or controversy. It's just Lord of the Flies in virtual form. Even before newsfeed came out, the premise of FaceBook, a place to obsess over schoolma

Why use differentiable models here, it seems like a big limitation to CA just to allow back-prop. Can't these be trained with genetic algorithms or evolutionary methods like SPSA?

Those were some examples in mind, but the broader point was it's worth spending substantial time finding material that works for you.

I find the most important step in learning is to figure out the best learning material for the subject (which book, author, research paper or tutorial to go through). If you are going to invest days or months of your life, it's worth f

Following up after more thought, we had seen 'tongue motor imagery' (imagination of moving tongue) as clearly discernible in EEG. The motor cortex also has eye muscle mappings nearby. http://mrtnmcc.com/wp-content&

Interesting, so in the context of this broader discussion, if you displaced 1% of electrons in your body by a centimeter, you would weigh 10x more than you did originally. (Both gravitational mass and inertial mass increase)

Wait is that right? I thought charging a lithium battery was simply displacing electrons from cathode to anode, but the total number of electrons in the whole battery is conserved (and hence mass). Or is this converting that electric poten

Guess this is saying that the one kilogram of uranium is converted to fission products which are slightly lighter--one kilogram minus a butterfly--and the amount of energy released from this difference is e=(mass of butterfly)*c^2

From my experience, visual imagery / imagination is not discernable in EEG, it simply doesn't produce large scale modulations like the motor cortex does. However with MRI or fMRI I believe it is possible, and have seen papers even

That was a comparison was roughly for the same air cleaning rate. I think it has to do with the fan architecture. With purpose built purifiers using static pressure fans instead of air fans.

I'd written an EEG signal processing and inference backend for a drone control system that did this in 2010. It picks up on Mu rhythms from the motor cortex. It flew around campus at UIUC.. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/a

I've built a few of these and compared with higher end air purifiers like Alen. The only downside I could find with the DIY box fans was the power consumption is much higher.. about 60W vs 6W for the commercial purifier. That is a $30&

I think you'd have to look at the statistics for consecutive windless days for the given location to rule out battery storage? Also in the US, I think natural gas peakers are more common than petro.

Right. After having Covid in April 2020 I developed what appears to be a hypersensitivity to Covid, where I get an allergic reaction when exposed within about 20-30 minutes. It's not pleasant, but I guess you could say I'm a human
