Maybe it'll share the fate of China's recycling - the government will realize that the the "profitable" import and processing of harmful materials is not worth the human harm it causes

Reminds me of an artwork that compiled shots of clocks and watches from movies into a 24 hour cycle. The journalist reporting on it was so entranced they kept visiting at different times of day/night

The article provided a rubric for assessing the legitimacy of decision making algorithms. While it can be used to reject inferior algorithms, it can also be used to develop and have confidence in a decision making algorithm that meets all t

Justice is blind, but it shouldn't be blind and mute. Until AI systems can "explain themselves" and be scrutinized as easily as rubrics, I don't them with life-changing decisions

Yeah, black boxes belong no where near these fields. Rubric plus human review is much more transparent and flexible

Why are cells mostly the same size across all organisms? Well some things get better with area and some things get worse with volume, and since those grow at different rates, there's an optimal size for which the difference is maximize

A similar unit exists for electrical resistivity. ρ := Ωm²/m. To calculate the resistance of a specific piece of wire, plug in the intrinsic property of copper (resistivity), and the dimensions of the specific wire. Out comes resistanc

Could I use this to make a very high genus watertight mesh for 3d printing? I want to make an irregular lattice for SLA 3D printing

by pvillano 4y ago
This might be the right thread to ask for help with a 3d problem I've been working on for a year or so. I have a resin 3D printer, and I want to make handles for it. Specifically, ultra lightweight handles using an irregular lattice. O

There's an important piece of background to understand why computational methods cannot completely correct chromatic aberration. A photon can be any color of the rainbow. The reason ink and TVs can get away with using only 3 colors is

If the laundry basket lasts forever there is no externalized cost of disposal. Like you said, plastic is incredibly cheap, but if it wasn't, we'd use it only for things that are designed to last forever. Plastic is a miracle mater
