I have avoided posting a how-to on YouTube, in part because tech like this could be used to impersonate me. By creating a fake persona with fake voice (this one doesn't do that) we can make those videos. So the way to not be impersonat

Is there a standard notation for the product of all even numbers up to N and for the product of all odd numbers up to N? I know if N is even then the product of evens is = (N/2)! * 2^(N/2) so I guess notation for that is a little

For 3D I found octtrees very effective and fast. In my implementation you can even move items around without having to regenerate the tree. I have yet to find a satisfactory way to store points (in 2d or 3d) and be able to query nearby poin

Let's not forget the minus symbol at U2212. I was making a Simulink like diagram editor and the dashes just didn't look good. 2212 worked nicely.

Maybe they're just not relevant any more. What would they do if their money came from doctors instead of royalties? TFA says they're like a startup incubator, which is fine but why should anyone be funding them in that case?

I'm fascinated by the island of instability at 5. There are no stable elements with 5 baryons.

I think there's a related phenomenon that we see all the time in automotive circles. A vehicle manufacturer (OEM) needs a new thing, so a supplier develops it in cooperation with them. Great! The requirements were vague and all that, b

Range? On the front page is says 60cm to 6m and on the other page is says 0.2m to 2m. That's a 3x difference in the same spec, which is it?

Some people really hate humanity. They'd rather see the universe stay full of lifeless rocks than have people touch it. I'm all for being cautious if there's something significant out there, but so far we haven't even fo

Yes! I've been thinking about bluetooth and a standard protocol and generic app. You'd get basic gui functionality for any compliant device, showing whatever device specific stuff the manufacturer wants. Kinda of like a bluetooth

Work is not the same as stress. People today (especially near the bottom of the ladder) are not in control of their own destiny like they used to be. It's a different kind of stress.

As a Michigander within 80 miles of several border crossings, I don't think you need to worry. I've never heard of border patrol doing anything weird up here in 50 years. Canada is just not a big concern.

Yeah it'll be interesting if they privatize weather forecasting in the US. I'll be looking for European forecasts of US weather... It's handy info, but I'm not gonna subscribe to see if I need a coat or umbrella.

My bet is on plasma Wakefield accelerators to feed the FEL. But yeah a synchrotron might do as an intermediate step. Free Electron Lasers can be tuned to different wavelengths all the way to x-rays.
