In micro and nano scale things can behave differently so it is quite hard to decide what to ban. Plastic straws and caps attached to bottles - reason was that there are too many of them and people don’t behave properly and don't throw

Yup. Everything will be muzak in the end. But what word should we coin as buzzword for “Netflix-Muzak”? And when we're saturated with it all, we'll start buying DVDs (or other future media) again.

You can simulate everything in these professional (and expensive) software. https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/public/account/secured?returnurl... But for hobby purposes I would suggest to contact some university, they h

My point was that these software could help to find weak parts in trajectory - so instead of trying to figure it out by looking where balls are too quick to fall from the ride - you can simulate it. I saw real tramway simulation done in Ans

For roller coasters there is a software for simulation. It is imho similar situation compared with balls in your Marble Fountain https://www.nolimitscoaster.com/ First, I thought about Ansys or CATIA software but I couldn’t

Offshoring/outsourcing is nice on paper, but as management doesn’t have to deal with time zones, in reality it is much more chaos than expected. And how do they want to deal with fuckups? Thru Slack or Discord? :) We had British SaaS s

How many studies is enough? There were approx. 60k+ participants in them. If I got it right…

You’re right. My comment doesn’t make sense.

If there are two contradictory conclusions you should ask for the third one, independent on the previous ones.

This platform (from video in the article) seems fragile compared to wind turbines or oil rigging platforms. I know that underwater is calm even during storm but happens to the top part that is connected with pipe to bottom part?

Yes, Canva is amazing. Except the AI that sort of sucks but it is a must in this AI bubble. In Adobe they have to decide quickly how to deal with it. Canva is a real business competitor for them. Theoretically, some kind of joint venture co

Yeah, fingers crossed is what we need. Adobe wanted to acquire Figma for 20B, and Canva is 4.4 times bigger in revenue… If allowed it would be a huge acquisition.

A lot of professionals would like to switch to Affinity too - InDesign hasn’t changed too much for last 10 years… But if you have everything in its format, decision to switch is tough as there is no tool to import or open full indd files to

And after people get used to using AI from Google, they discontinue it, just like they’ve done with so many other services. Sarcasm, of course, for those who didn’t catch it - it’s hard to make jokes online. Google has so much cash from oth

Differences in LLM usage are common, so I guess we'll just "argue" here :) Yesterday I was discussing with the head of a company that has been developing software for 30 years, and he told me that they had some old assembly c

Yes, I am aware of it. The doctor told me that I should use it only if tinnitus is too annoying - as lorazepam “unstress” the body (not sure if I explain it correctly), it also helps mute the tinnitus.

Many books on the subject are very much "doomsayers" or "preppers" style. The Roman Empire has been crumbling for 400 years, so it's likely that we won't experience the collapse of society as described in most

The difference between openAI and Google is that openAI has only 2 percent of customers paying for their service and bleeding financially - so theoretically they will run out of money one day when investors lose patience. Google, on the oth

It'll probably be a black swan anyway. So it's best to stay calm, because to hedge against it... Stephen Emmott ends his book Ten Billion with the line "Teach my son how to use a gun."

You are absolutely right. But “era of lies” doesn’t sound nice because nobody wants to be a liar… so “post-truth” sounds better: “I'm telling the truth. Almost. But I'm not lying.”

Yes, the best way is to let it fall into background. Just keep going.

Kids told me that I am losing my hearing. So I went to hearing lab. When I told doctor that I have tinnitus in left ear for almost 10 years, he recommended lorazepam in tough times… that it works. :)
