Comparing Fluoride and Antibiotics is absurd. At least one of these things is supported by public health officials and isn’t unequivocally stupid.

No I meant user’s device. It’s the edge of the application space.

No reason why most apps couldn’t be cloud hosted and devote all the significant local edge compute to such a digital companion.

From my recollection of Hawking - it’s the energy of light that disturbs the particle being measured thus confounding the measurement Presumably a gravity based detector would have similar issues as these particles are affected by gravity (

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Tesla floating on a cushion of private Saudi wealth?

If the slits are big enough, isn’t that just gravity?

If I emit a bass signal at a low amplitude, but then emit it at a higher amplitude, I can see the effect on a glass of water on the table. What’s happening here if amplitude does not carry power? My understanding is that theoretically energ

Does anyone know was Tim Berners Lee a fan and was he influenced or did he have any inkling he was manifesting the infrastructure for the guide?

Presumably (with little more than an 8 y/o grasp of astronomy), Pluto’s orbit being consistent with the other heliocentric planets gave it an extra qualifier?

“I don’t want to learn how to use it properly therefore it’s like [bad thing I clearly have no experience of]” JSON is not fit for purpose as a configuration format. Use YAML or don’t, use properties if you like. JSON is first and foremost

by rusk 2y ago
JSON is machine readable first; and human readable for convenience. Its primary purpose is for machine to machine communication, but it does allow human intervention. People have used that as a signal to start using it for configuration fil

I went and looked it up and you are right. Memory failing me. I got a card in 2004 that was a Radeon which must be the mixup … EDIT thanks for the push. I’m nearly certain it was an S3 Trio based card https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#

It wasn’t a Rage it was a Radeon :) not even a 3D accelerator :) this was the first generation of graphics cards that had hardware acceleration for 2D Was just about time for MDK, Quake, Tomb Raider etc even though it was way outside the of

AI winters happen every 20 years or so so sounds about right. Investor apathy. Once the big dicks realise it’s useless without actual humans running it they’ll lose interest. We will lock in our gains socially but a lot of the big bucks wil

I got by for years on a Pentium 75 and 8mb of RAM. The specs always said the game wouldn’t work, but it did. You could get away with this right up until PC gaming (finally) moved away from DOS. One big issue was the real mode DOS Plug n pla

The important thing to remember about Freud is that, at least compared to the base case, it gets results. From the pragmatic aspect of psychology this presents something worthy of study. My mature take on Freud is that all the cookie wierdn

Groundbreaking research is groundbreaking research regardless of how well it holds up over time. Obviously it’s been supersceded but that just demonstrates the vitality of the field.

My point of view is based on this very paywalled article. In science a study doesn’t just become bunk just because its original conclusions no longer hold, or because a journalist says so. The data is solid and is widely replicated. All the

They do care about it. It’s an immensely important milestone in the development of the field, and is pretty much axiomatic as a developmental marker and has been widely and consistently replicated. Where modern day psychology diverges is (a

It’s all social conditioning. You are socially conditioning your child to be good at math. Good for you. It would be very hard for me to group you together with others and formulate a trend. As we zoom out and evaluate the aggregate picture
