I return carts, but I too worked at a grocery store and so did a fair amount of cart wrangling, a lot of it during the Phoenix summer. It was very zen, watching the monsoons build. Certainly didn't mind it. Stores in the US provide a l

Watching the video, the difference between the actual frame captured and the manipulated stacked image that's being presented is quite stark.

Please Bluetooth devices, give me some options on how to interact with devices I've previously paired with other than "upon spotting, immediately begin playing music"

It's not a matter of power, but energy. It may take it twice as long as a 220v circuit, but when it's an unattended appliance that doesn't really matter. Per cycle they use about a gallon of water (3-4 per load total). Going

It's because tradfri is zigbee. matter is in some ways an independent successor to zigbee.

Many hot water heaters use gas which may be cheaper than resistive heating depending on where you live. Additionally, there are now water heaters that use a heat pump which will be more efficient than either. And of course they'll be s

So instead it pulls in hot water, but not for long enough to purge the line, so all the 140F water it pulls from the water heater sits in pipes till it cools off.

It seems like it would be trivial for the machine to pump water in, turn on the heating element, and wait until it reaches optimum temperature before beginning the cycle.

I had just seen and admired a UPS MD-11 making it's climbing turn after takeoff from ONT earlier that day. They are quite capable and a beautiful aircraft.

TLDR; As BB(n) gets larger, they can encode more random walk style problems that have a stop condition related to the position of the random walk. Proving that such a condition is unlikely may be easy, but proving it never occurs is very di

I wonder how much more likely it is to get a false positive from a black student.

I've used one of these at Lihue airport. It was slightly finicky, but fine and required no staff member assistance.

There's a ton of places in modern silicon where a voltage represents far more than just on or off. From the 16 levels of QLC to the various PAM technologies used by modern interconnects

The standard model is universally understood to be incomplete, but the problem is that it's perfectly able to predict all known interactions we can measure. We need to go to much higher energies to find violations. And the refinements

There are people that come to it from the direction of AI because they think they know something about consciousness. That's certainly putting the conclusion first. But there are also physicists who come at the problem from the directi

If it were known that there where physical interactions occurring within the brain that deviated from the standard model, we wouldn't bother building didn't colliders.

This isn't a viewpoint coming from AI, is been a view that's been around for quite some time. The standard model does an exquisite job of predicting the day to day physics we experience. To find search for new physics where we mig

Communication here seems to refer more to the passing of proteins and ions than information. Critically the amyloid proteins studied in Alzheimer's.

That's the problem with Penrose's thinking though. He's absolutely convinced that consciousness cannot boil down to something computable. So he reaches for the quantum shelf, but not just the quantum shelf, the quantum proces

A very common problem in Metro Phoenix involves government or corporate procurement. They just purchase whatever is used everywhere else and end up with something that lasts well under is rated life time or doesn't even make it though

The two flags in the logo represent the communist and anarchist flags. The part about wanting to do away with the US government isn't exactly inaccurate.
