So yes, kT is small on average (does fluctuate) and it is also 1 kT per degree of freedom. So yes, in principle a few hundreds of atoms could randomly fluctuate in energy to create this effect. However, this is hyper unlikely. I would be su

Just in case, here is a video explaining it again [1]. I had to look it up myself. [1] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7CgtIgSyAiU

kT is very little energy compared to a chemical bond. Take for example [0], they give an excitation energy for water of about 8 electron Volts which is ~750 kJ/mol, whereas kT at room temp is about 2.5 kJ/mol. [0] http:/&#x2

You are somewhat correct. In principle the system is quantized but due to the sheer number of degrees of freedom (or quantum states) the spectra may still appear continuous. Take for example a single water molecule in vacuum: If you calcula

To my knowledge, antibiotics inhibit crutial bacterial functions such as protein synthesis in bacterial ribosomes which causes cell death. To survive, the cell mutates its ribosomes which costs energy and makes them less efficient but funct

It sounds like a creepier version of google now which listens for many keywords instead of just one, is it not? Question for the experts: How much battery would it actually drain if the mic was constantly activated and the app was scanning

This seems too creepy to be true.

Kuka makes great industrial robots. They are pretty much the goto guys for car manufacturing robots from VW, BMW to Tesla. I do see how Midea would benefit from this deal as there are no competitive chinese robot makers, yet. However, in th

"Townsend Letter, the Examiner of Alternative Medicine, publishes a print magazine about alternative medicine." Why would this be published here instead of as a regular review article in a peer reviewed medical journal.

Erasto Mpemba boiled milk mixed with sugar to make ice cream. The original experiment is much more rewarding than simply putting water into the fridge. ;-)

I fear that AI will most rapitly be adopted in clinics for optimizing the diagnosis keys for which they charge the health insurance providers. This task is currtly done by human controllers and early expert based software systems. This is w

I am curious to know in which part of the analyzed datasets the heart failure information was hidden. I would have expected that they reanalyzed heart time traces but it was not mentioned explicitly, was it?

My experience was different. 1. It's a way to (pointlessly) delay adulthood. adulthood != working for a company Developing the next CRISPR, detecting gravitational waves, or building a stellator is a pretty grown up thing. In the end

I fail to understand the logic behind all of this. Why not give the money to the universities directly? It seems super inefficient to create a whole industry around funding university education. Even more so when this system needs to be bac

Thank you so much for posting this, its so nice on a human level to think about turning mine laying tech into tree planting tech. At the end they mention a planting capacity of 3k square miles per year which is a lot but still small compare

Sounds interesting! Do you think my carrier would lock my card for violation of service? I am not sure if reselling minutes/data is allowed with standard SIM contracts.

This has the potential to become a cool app but I think it should differentiate from other offerings in the features it provides to the user and not in the way the backend is implemented. You might want to tell people s.th. along the lines

Well, their CI is pretty good for starters... compared to self hosting jenkins, or paying for Travis CI. Self hosting gitlab integrated CI runners is a big plus for me. As a third party service provider you could still host and/or modi

$100/month sounds about right. Side projects are hobbies, for which $100/month is not too bad. Just compare that to the cost of operating a motorcycle, a set of golf clubs, owning a horse, building RC cars etc.

It might be enough to include a cheap spectrometer to estimate the material composition. From this you should be able to guesstimate a suitable program. You could even spot and classify stains, AI to the rescue. There must be existing solut

Up until the Thinkpad X230, there was coreboot support which was great. However, with the new Intel chips now enforcing 'Boot Guard' this is no longer an option [1], is it? I wouldn't be surprised if Lenovo decided at some po

Test tuning seems to have a long history at VW. The VW subsidiary Porsche tuned the 918 spyder with a battery just large enough to pass fuel consumption test at ~78mpg, or 3l/100km which is ridiculously far from reality. I am very curi

I am not sure the attack vector argument is 100% valid here, as flash replacement technologies constantly add attack vectors to modern browsers, too. Many traditional Flash features are now covered by webGL accelerated browser functionality
