Certainly about every paper nowadays is about stuff going on in a breed of mice engineered to produce lots of amyloid plaques. Hardly nobody knows or cares what happens in actual patients. The best methods we know of to protect real people

That could happen with the pyramids, but almost all of those are blank inside. The Valley of Kings tombs were tunneled deep into living bedrock. How they did, I do not know, but ancient people worldwide seemed to have no difficulty cutting

Still, the proscription against tagging pyramids held, somehow. The Valley of Kings tunnel tombs are lousy with texts, sealed in. So it can't have been meant for visitors. I am always mystified at how there could be never any soot on t

Curiously, the "Pyramid Texts" the author cites were not incribed in pyramids. The pyramids are all unaccountably blank. The oldest stonework is of best quality: mirror finishes, perfect right angles and flat surfaces cut into the

The big grain of salt for all depression treatments is that depression is a "wastebasket diagnosis". The only real distinction available between numerous pathologies is what medication seems to help them. This means any group of p

It is not clear what the role of the RRAM is. I get that it applies weights, but where do the weights come from? Is this a system that you train with lots of known stimulus and location samples? And having trained one, you can read it out a

More interesting is genetic connections between people at the tip end of South America and Australians. This is usually explained as their common ancestor being the first to enter and populate the Americas. Then, subsequent waves displaced

Everybody already knew they broke regulations, because that was in TFA. But it was not the question I asked.

I keep getting downvotes for asking this question: Was there so much as one, single individual who lost money as a result of their activity? If you don't have an answer, just say that. I am aware that the final buyer ended up paying mo

In other words, there was so much evidence, none of it counted. They did not, at the time, know about the Cerutti Mastodon. You can see vids on YT of visits to the site. There were so many tools found, there are piles of them left out on th

When Harlen Bretz finally received Geology's highest honor for his work on the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington state, literally all of his opponents, who had rabidly blighted his career, had died of old age. There are still l

I kept being distracted by the "why would anyone allow themselves to get so invested in a walled garden, especially one where the garden owner is so obviously hostile and non-responsive?" I understand that literally millions get i

What I had read was that spike proteins in the bloodstream were found to collect in ovaries. Have not seen any follow-up on that. Has there been any?

Maybe if you find hominins in North America 130,000 years ago difficult to contemplate, you will have greater difficulty with 200,000 years? Look up "Leakey Calico Early Human site". Yes, that Leakey. National Geographic sponsor

Fraud requires deception. Again, who was deceived? Did any small investor lose a cent? I would rather see SEC do something about ICOs.

Madagascans are related to Indonesians, who like Polynesians have been traced back, ultimately, to Taiwan. There has been recent mixing with Australians. This happened historically quite recently. The marimba started life as the gamelan. Th

It is always easy to claim things are a hoax. You don't even need to look at them. How the hoaxers found out about glyphs that had not been published yet seems to need explanation. And that they actually spell words and sentences not

You can still walk right up to the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum. It always has a big crowd around it. Don't bother taking a picture of it, there are lots. There are certain rockfaces in Australia covered with authentic hieroglyp

Circumference to radius. But it really has nothing to do with the universe, except insofar as maths happen to (imperfectly) match it. Presumably if the universe seemed to match some other maths, we would have invented that variety instead.

You are not getting this. You can do an unlimited amount of computation on one joule. One watt-second, if you like. Not an infinite amount of computation, but any finite amount.

This reminds me of the Z-80, which replaced the 8080's 8-bit ALU with a 4-bit unit. Evidently FF recognized that it had no need to produce an answer in one cycle, because it would not be needed so soon, so why waste logic trying? At th

No, I mean that it is physically possible to perform an unlimited amount of computation on a fixed amount of energy, if you are willing to wait long enough. Nobody has built hardware that has this property.

But is it, really? A carrier group is very expensive, and you only have a few. Put it here, it's not there. Put it there, it's not here. And it takes a long time to get from here to there. Likewise, bombers. Expensive, can be shot
