Experimental physics isn't just the high energy particle stuff even though that tends to get more media attention. There's a lot of condensed matter, solid state, etc stuff where you can do cutting edge research on a table top or

People ultimately decide on their own. There are institutions that make judgments but ultimate it's an individual that decides. But for a lot of things, there are nearly universal agreement going one way, e.g. everyone almost universal

HRV is an indicator of how much stress you are experiencing. The variability increases when you are more relaxed and under less stress and decreases as your stress level increases. The relationship is a bit counterintuitive but it's a

I'm not sure the body battery/stress measures are that great. Garmin is infamous for having an awful sleep algo and it still has a lot of trouble detecting naps. It doesn't bode well for being able to get stress data. I think

But in the meantime follow the bad law? If the law said that you aren't supposed to give water to the people that cross the desert would you follow that even if the person is dying of thirst?

Do you believe that even morally wrong laws should be enforced and followed? A lot of the segregation and jim crow laws were pretty odious. Women weren't allowed to have bank accounts and credit cards in multiple countries (even the US

Probably not, launch costs are still a few thousand to tens of thousands per kg so launching a 500kg jetpack vs a 5000kg satellite is pretty substantial.

I think the reserves have more complex dynamics. The law requires 250 million barrels to be kept but the pumping rate decreases as more is pumped. Also, there's various estimates that indicate that the storage areas will lose structura

I don't think that's accurate. If tokenization takes say 10ms and the rest of the inference steps take 50 ms then, improving tokenization will improve the time to first token but won't affect throughput much. After the first

It's hard to get more ECC guaranteed than the mobo manufacturer having ECC ram on their QVL (qualified vendor list) for the motherboard and indicating that ECC is supported in the specs. I suppose you can just get a complete workstatio

Plastic cases might actually be a bit better than steel depending on the radiation type. Neutron radiation is more effectively shielded by interacting with light atoms so stuff with lots of hydrogen atoms like water or polymers have a bette

Laptops are pretty much unavailable with ECC especially with soldered memory becoming common. On the desktop side, there's multiple motherboards that explicitly note that they support ECC memory. AsRock and Asus both include ECC memory

It's preferred but not having it still works if you're willing to leave some potential avenues for errors to get in. However, it's not like not having ECC is a recipe for a corrupted FS.

AMD has historically supported ECC on all it's chips. That's changed in the last gen or two where some of the lower end APUs don't support ECC but the Pro APUs do and all the ryzen stuff (5, 7, 9) support ECC if you get a mot

It also varies depending on where in a time zone you are. The eastern and western sides of a timezone could see sunrise and sunset at significantly different times.

I think that glass flowing thing is a myth. The manufacturing method back then resulted in uneven panes and they were installed with the thicker side at the bottom.

At upper undergrad and grad levels, it probably would have improved a lot. The issue is that a lot of the why requires quantum mechanics to really explain and even that becomes intractable extremely quickly. Like you can probably do the ana

I don't think that's actually the case. If you get an tax attorney to document your treatment and indicate that they believe it's legal (e.g. a tax opinion letter), then you're off the hook for penalties and criminal lia

I think consumers do care when they have to throw away a device or pay for a repair because the battery health has significantly degraded. This is really similar to the argument against having a standardized charging port or requiring usb-c

Another issue is that a lot of those office buildings use post tensioned cables in the concrete slabs so making a hole needs to be done very carefully to avoid the cables. Not only do the cables provide a lot of structural support but brea

Given the prices and shortages, I'd think people would keep and use the current gen stuff till it drops dead. It may not be as good but it's paid for and given the prices for next gen stuff, it's probably worth using for anot

Doesn't quadlet fix some or all of those problems? It's supposed to allow you to convert podman containers to systemd unit files automatically

It's been in the planning stages for at least 5-8 years at this point. The instruments and upgrades have been tested and validated so it's just putting stuff together and then validating/calibrating. Stuff can still happen li

There's at least 3 copies of all the data and possibly more spread around the world at different Tier1 and Tier2 centers. The T1 and T2 centers are very likely using different filesystems and everything is checksummed pretty much at ev

A scissor lift or some other thing seems a lot simpler than trying to allow for a bipedal robot to knee to reach things close to the ground. Or if legs are the best option, why not a quadruped? Much more stability with a lot of the same adv

Stair climbing systems that work using wheels exist. Google stair climbing wheelchairs for a few examples.

Sure, but I'm not sure humanoid robots is the best form factor for this. E.g. something with a wheeled base makes movement calculations a lot easier since you don't need to deal with balance while moving.

In this case, the perjury may apply. It seems unlikely that the person that complained is acting on behalf of whoever owns the rights to a 25 year old article.

The difference is that in the code situation, you can run unit tests on the code, compile it, etc. Unless your LLMs are ordering diagnostics and reviewing the results, there is no further information that the LLMs have on the situation. Hav
