It isn't if you know your own risk is significantly worse than the average buyer. This is called adverse selection.

The labor movement predates Marxism, even if you exclude pre-industrial incarnations. I believe workers pooling their power is just a result of the dynamic between capital and workers, and Marx started out by describing, rather than prescri

And a second AI to generate additional test cases similar to yours (which you accept as also in scope) to avoid the first AI gaming the test.

Does anyone have some experience to share with integrating home assistant with Homematic devices? I'm stuck with those for controlling my heating but really dislike the interface.

I'm quite sure it will, for two reasons: 1) Vaccine development in itself was no doubt a historical achievement and will go down in history books. Regardless of causality, Project Warp Speed will be there by association. 2) It is a mem

You need a differentiable forward model of the process, which is not available for the human brain.

This is true, though what I was getting at was methods that make use of a noise source separate from the input.

Physical/analog computers always suffer from noise limiting their usefulness. So I think it would be natural to apply this to a network architecture that includes noise as an integral Part such as GANs or VAEs.

Cochlear implants are amazing, but at the same time still quite primitive. I'm sure if the same budget, talent and manpower was devoted to them as for example to the development of AirPods, we could restore close to natural hearing whe

I read somewhere that many franchise restaurant chains make more money off real estate appreciation than on sales. For favourably located malls, I guess this could also end up applying if housing prices continue to rise.

It's quite funny to me that people are running these kind of almost scientific experiments on a fully human-generated and in principle knowable system. The reason are understandable of course but it does seem like a waste of human ener

Well you don't have to really heat it, it's just room temperature. The kind of density you are talking about is only reached well below 100K. So here is my take on your estimate: First of all, I was thinking more about an RV-sized

Thanks for writing this all out, but I think your initial calculation is off by an order of magnitude, no? You need 1m^3 of helium to lift a kg. I don't have time to work through the rest now but I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

My understanding is it's smaller even than Pinatubo, which happened in living memory, and significantly smaller than Krakatoa.

OK fair enough, I was thinking more about the operations within a day, when the travel style of a Goodyear blimp would be sufficient. But you are right that long distance point-to-point travel would likely be a requirement for the longer ti

So you're saying a luxury air yacht could work after all?

by phreeza 5y ago
Why is it that small craft work but large craft don't, when two of the main problems you mention (leakage and wind shear attack surface) scale favourably with increased volume? Both should scale as 1/r per transported mass if my m

I don't know, I'm sure you are right that it's not practical as a mass market product. But just coupling together two Zeppelin NTs, they should be able to lift an average RV, so it doesn't seem impossible to me. And some

I don't get why none of these companies try to get ultrarich people to finance their development by selling "air yachts". Basically strap a luxury RV with big windows to the bottom of one of these airships. Imagine the splash

One of those (or similar, I think cherry seeds) caught fire in my microwave once.

The advent of agriculture and animal husbandry is generally thought to be much more recent than your comment makes it sound. More like ten thousand years ago.

I think it's one of the situations where the fundamentals are well understood (Navier Stokes equation) but the emergent behavior is so complex that many aspects remain poorly understood.

They definitely use gsuite products all the time and in most cases exclusively (i.e. nobody uses Powerpoint, everyone uses Google Slides), but in other verticals (e.g. phones or laptops) it's not so clear cut.

Does the Pentel have a mechanism to rotate the lead? I use a Kuru Toga for that reason, and quite like it, though the machining tolerance could be a bit better, i might try a Pentel for that reason but worry about the lead getting flat on o

Is the power sufficient for independent take off? Or alternatively, how long can this run at constant altitude in a typical glider?

I don't see the difference between a human and a statistical model here. Surely in order to select an action to take, a person also has to apply some sort to threshold on their confidence? E.g. how is a doctor deciding to amputate or n
