Agreed. Especially the part when Nirina offers to donate his bonus which is 3+ months of earnings in the Rikscha business. Endurance, tolerance for pain and getting the hours of training in can get you pretty far. And devotion to the discip

At least I haven’t noticed otherwise.

It is not the student‘s money - academic education is basically free in Germany. But they are still defrauded of their valuable time and effort to follow classes they thought were worth it.

From my perspective as an employee of a German academic institution, administrations are still figuring out if and how to regulate the use of AI, while some professors rely pretty heavily on AI tools, so the story is completely believable.

Haha yeah pretty much nails it.

The problem is in parts, how confirmatory statistics work, and how journals work. Most journals wouldn’t publish „we really tried very hard to get significance that x causes y but found nothing. Probably, and contrary to our prior beliefs,

I was looking for an efficient algorithm calculating variance of a sliding window of the last n values an ongoing signal, and this came up. Besides the content of the paper, the metadata on page 2 is interesting, as well as the barcode on t

How do you upload files to a sprite box then?

Okay if you take dust literally. The important part is that the particles fly. Like dandelion seeds.

Some resources are still scarce. And a lot of those 6E24 kg is iron and nickel we can never get to. Another big fraction is basically molten stone. And we really should stop putting more carbon into the atmosphere. Also, if you go for measu

RFID tags are powered wirelessly, one could imagine powering smaller particles when operating on higher frequencies (RFID is on 13.something MHz requiring relatively large coils). A directional antenna could send a pulsed beam to power a su

The frequency resolution must be pretty bad though. You need 1 minute of samples for a resolution of 1/60 Hz. Hopefully the heartrate is staying constant during that minute.

Also how to make good estimates, and how to work with units. One example, the formula to get the speed of a thing after h meters of free fall must deliver an outcome of m/s. We also know the gravitational acceleration g is given in m&#

Especially the model 2 is very comfortable but probably also the leader of the incident statistics.

While it is true that that many problems where already visible 10 years ago, it is also true tat during the pandemic more trains were on time because having very few passengers speeds up the boarding/offboarding at stations enormously.

Experienced that a few months ago. Next time I‘ll be tempted to pull the emergency brake which will cost them at least half an hour to get the train going again. Or so I have been told.

That’s nice, but I really don’t get why people don’t resize their browser window when they think the lines are running too wide. If you go the custom stylesheet route, it would be better to apply a max-width in the em unit instead of px, th
