It does not have to walk. Imgine a robotic vacuum which instead of vacuuming carries your stuff.

But you can have groceries delivered already, what do robots have to do with this? I had a leg injury, was walking ~month in crutches and the biggest issue was I could not easily carry around stuff in my hands. And everyone was like, just u

Not so long ago, bodily punishments were considered fully acceptable, or even beneficial. So the distinction against physical violence which this article paints as clear, is in fact a recent development. Which may or may not continue furthe

Dear Mozilla, you're practically drowning in money, so do something with it. Like, have Firefox on Android support creating home screen borderless widgets with any webpage. Oh, but Google isn't going to like it. Don't bite th

Yep in theory it's all nice and easy, just put foils in and open the windows sometimes. In practice... say, there is a dog that likes to gnaw on corners and thus punctures the vapor barrier. Happened to my own house's outside insu

With better windows the moisture may condense in other less visible places. Best to remove it with desiccator.

How is that different from claiming, say, there's an integer betwen three and four, oh we can't construct it but that's not a problem, gonna use it in the proofs anyway?

I think the noise is suppressed not merely because it's harder to see, but mainly because neural networks tend to hallucinate given such an input. In other words, there's fine tuning between losing weak signals and hallucinations.

I do see exactly such a noise in dark rooms, am not unnerved by it at all.

The visible photons have enough energy above the room temperature noise, that each one can be detected and amplified. Even when that energy is minuscule, it is sufficient to affect a molecule of pigment enough to cause cascade of amplifying

There are occassional outages. But the pylons are designed with icing in the mind and that does the difference. More outages are due to poorly trimmed trees falling on wires than ice itself. That usually affects only small area and can be f

Interesting! Do I understand correctly that the additional water storage just cycles between 0°C and below room temperature to further cool/preheat the coolant? Hard to believe it could have such a big effect. And how does it fit into

Yes many people need narrative like that to make sense of the world. And many other people will keep self-congratulatorily "revealing" it as old and worthless.

You will stay unsatisfied forever because "Why..." is the wrong way to ask questions about evolution. It's too chaotic process.

Can't they just switch to all exponential numbers (no mantissa)? There's plenty of precedent in image processing where the pixel values are usually supposed to be exponentiated by gamma factor before doing any linear operations.

So you categorize the 737MAX accidents as human errors too and thus they should not affect policy?

We had Oracle corrupt itself due to software bug. It similarly went undetected for some time and thus ended in backups.

I had in mind the water for parts that are connected to the right of that picture and (conveniently) not displayed. Not primary coolant.

That something is reasonable theoretically, does not mean it will be done in practice.

by rini17 4y ago
Not a word about cooling which requires vast amounts of cheap water and makes nuclear not so universally sustainable.

Why must the build be done all at once in one go? Humans will land at the dawn, leave before dusk, working in 14 day shifts set up the base. This will repeat for several months till the base gets self-sufficient enough. Some stations in Ant

Why store hydrogen when you can use the metals? I mentioned zinc as that's most mature technology, but almost all of them can be reacted with oxygen to get back energy.
