Positive pressure does 'one shot' filtering. All air in the house goes through the HEPA filter once. Hence any spores (or other patrickes) that get filtered, get filtered immediately. Though spores (or particles) that make it thro

CPU coolers are tuned for 300 watts cooling at a delta of 60ish degrees centigrade (100ish Fahrenheit). You'd be operating at a much lower delta, split over two coolers. At best, the transfered power would scale with the delta, due to

I'm surprised we don't see more military research for SAT-NAV alternatives. In any big conflict SAT-NAV is trivial to turn off. If you can still position yourself and your enemy can't, that is an enormous advantage in targeti

Yeah, and that shows why this exhaustive list of assumptions is rarely made. It is useful after you realized the argument was wrong, but that isn't the critical point in time. The critical point is when evaluating the argument before y

In other words, the evidence for that is the evidence of the exponential(ish) expansion of space.

It is consistent to say that anyone at that point all of a sudden gets an extra "coordinate system" they can interact with, but they can never leave the point in the outer coordinate system. That would be 'every singularity c

What happens to my speed as I reach (hit?) the singularity 0.1s after crossing the event horizon? Do I jolt to a halt, do I continue to accelerate? Do I keep a fixed speed, but never change position?

In some sense, the ground is accelerating towards you. By jumping out of the plane, you've stopped the plane floor from accelrating you away from the ground at the same rate the ground is accelerating towards you. This is barely useful

I think the inability of an outsider to detect an event is precisely what it means to say "from the point of view of sn outsider, this event never happens". What happens but can never be observed, may aswell never happen from the

The image where adding an axiom / base fact causes a previous conclusion to be invalidated shows a key fact that goes unmentioned in the article. The inference steps the author uses are, mathematically speaking, unsound (or the new axi

From what I have heard, the sawstop 'inventor' is a patent attorney first, and an engineer second. Whilst he has offered to license the technology to other brands, reportedly the terms he offered were ridiculous. The bosch system

I could imagine patents limited to physical designs, with a lifespan of say 5 years to actually be beneficial to innovation. Perhaps also a requirement to license patents at a 'reasonable rate'. I'm thinking of the 'saws

I think it is possible to report someone's stated reasons for something incredibly stupid without judgment. In fact, compassion depends on listening to what people say about themselves. It also matters for judging how the system treats

This says nothing about her stated reasons for not wanting treatment. Is it anti-vax, is it a dislike of medicine, (paranoid) disbelief of the diagnosis, religiously motivated, or something else? I am glad she is caught, but wondering why t

Go would be a halway analogy for two parties claiming checker-board plots aiming to deny access, if corner crossing isn't allowed. The analogy breaks down because 'being allive' would require access to the edge, rather than h

This isn't the ISPs detecting you torrent. It's rightholders joining a torrent swarm, getting an IP-address, and asking the ISP for the person behind that address. It differs between jurisdictions whether the ISP has to comply or

The concept of an identifier comes with the concept of a bijection (or at least a injection). That is a truly basic concept in Mathematics. You could argue Mathematics is a human construction. But at that point, isn't every concept a h

Notably, strategic air power (i.e. mass civilian bombing) is likely rather ineffective [1]. That makes both the nuclear bombs and the firebombings horrible tragedies. [1] https://acoup.blog/2022/10/21/collecti

There was an article on HN that asked the question "why was a second bomb dropped". The conclusion was that the plan was to drop many nuclear bombs, and it was presidential intervention that limited it to two. Due to miscommunicat

Running the tests again only works if the false positive rate is just due to noise. I.e. if the occurrence of a false positive is uncorrelated between re-tests. I guess most real false positives aren't due to noise, but due to the test

Fuzzy logic uses very different rules. It is common to saysthat the 'truthiness' of (a and b), is the minimum truthiness of a and b. Or becomes a maximum, not becomes 1 - truthiness. Then normal predicate logic works by combining

We lost the secret key for this bitcoin in the incinerator, can we get the key back? That problem has neither a theoretical nor a practical solution.

I continue as if there is a solution, but when I see an avenue suggesting it doesn't have a solution, I try to take that. Generally the info from trying to show the problem is unsolvable will help understand the problem better anyway.

White hats can still get bug-bounties. Though if a company hasn't published such a bounty and a hat 'extorts' the bounty by demanding payment or else they will publish, that hat has a tint of grey.
