You can only eat certain fruit bodys of plants, while animals can eat a whole lot more and the stuff you throw away. What we feed livestock isn't exactly for human consumption and mostly non human available calories. This calculation o

You are absolutely right. With sustainable methods, we would have to severely cut down meat consumption or depopulate. I wouldn't say I propose a solution, but there is a middle ground and quality is very important. If you think about

This calculation is fatally flawed. Meat processors are extremely efficient in producing calories from unusable material in any environment. For example a reindeer eats basically moss, wild mushrooms and gras and can grow to 60 to 80 kg in

For the x-ray AI this is possible because a lot of data exist with clear results. One famous model included the patients information in full text on the x-ray images, which the AI quickly picked up on and which was overlooked by humans. I

They don't. Usually you have a general topic you like to talk about, but you can't because it is all well known. So you have to give it just a little twist. This can be a new method you try, for example a neural network that does

My wording was maybe a bit bad, but this really sounds like AC current leakage. When you feel it, it is above the action potential, therefore activating your nerves and muscles. This could be due to improper grounding or faulty components.

It is at least plausible, that you could run an AC current over your arms and over your chest. This can cause a stimulus to your nervous system if the current is high enough to overcome the action potential. A tingling sensation, muscle spa

Gasoline would run out in about 50 years, but we have been wrong about this prediction so many times over, that it probably last forever. We would burn the gasoline to power anyway to fuel the electric car, so it is not an issue at all. We

What you describe is the Hartley transform. In your case it is the fast discrete Hartley transform. It is an involuntory form of the FFT. It is a very interesting find indeed. Edit: fyi it retains all properties of the FFT of course.

There is nothing you can do for yourself, except giving yourself the time and space. There is no magic potion for it, it just takes time. Just know there are always others who also have to cope with the same loss in their own complex ways.
