Has anybody read impro by Keith Johnstone? He’s got a write up in there about status, and how before they “figured it out,“ the actors couldn’t make believable scenes of “everyday conversation”. Then, after some play or another he hits on

Hi, I have a question if you have time at some point: When you say “ Then by using financial regulations to require loans which expand quantity of legal tender in circulation to be issued on security of the replacement cost of tangible indu

I had a professor who flew the electric lightning later in his flying career (early in his overall career;). Beast of a plane. The most he said of it was: “it was a real hot ship” This fellow had stories for days.

Yes indeed! Successful (caveat that term appropriately ;) versions of this prolog+floats idea have used interval analysis in the past. Anyway, yep you can do it, and it is fun!

Right on! I was thinking of suggesting something like minikanren. My likes can get a bit niche at this point so I’ll leave it at that.

Cheers to that! Fortran introduced me to “:” syntax, back before I’d ever heard of numpy. (Or expression templates for that (somewhat tangential) matter)

I forgot about this one. It’s great, thank you! His video with the counterintuitive bead flows was great as well, if I recall. Lots of good stuff from this guy. Well, both numberphile and Tadashi Tokieda have lots of good stuff, I should

I think I was thinking of a Matt Parker video. I hadn’t seen this one though, thanks!

Are you my old advisor? If so, you are correct as usual, sir. ;)

I like it. There is a super fun ted(?) talk, that I can’t seem to find, with a guy constructing and cutting Möbius strips, and variations on that theme. Pretty unintuitive what a little twist can do! ...and I seemingly still cannot find it.

Earth is a space ship and we have been mismanaging the resources on said ship. When we build our own spaceships, we rapidly develop in miniature the sustainable tech needed to really fix earth. We already have carbon dioxide scrubbers, we j

Wow. I learned to fly in high school. God I can just picture it. “Fly through the deer!” I’d laugh all the way into orbit after getting out of that one in one piece.

Thanks for pointing this out! I wonder if someone can start a service to facilitate this for people. So many dark patterns, so many opportunities to ease the transaction costs/friction of disentangling? ;)

I’d like to post the google moon doodle. Pretty good stuff and Michael Collins narrates: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6VpHyKXHBM

Parsing this, I’d like to match it up with the Hubble horizon, at least for your stated condition that the velocity of expansion is greater than the speed of light: That already holds for us relative to points across the Hubble horizon. T

Can’t upvote you enough. This is driving me crazy-curious. It must be eating at the HEP folks... unless it isn’t, hah. If this becomes a quagmire nested with the muon quagmire within the new physics quagmire. I will surely have to find a

What an exciting time we live in, where links between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and GR May finally be emerging in physics! What will the final ramifications be? Hopefully something new comes of it. If there are cases where conser

A low number of dollars spent to put to bed an idea that would have upended physics is a fairly cost effective play in the risk to reward game. That’s what it comes down too. Negative results are good. Utter quackery is not good. But har

I hate to get involved, as I am already feeling ill from stress today, but I can’t help but notice that the reasons being given as “things they’ve heard” as arguments against universal healthcare have nothing to do with the only reasonable

I’ve been using this for a few months, and I’d like to say nice job! to the author. Really the most convenient way to find a solid starlink pass, in my opinion.

I wonder if this is interesting to look at topologicaly? Flow dynamics picks out the network connectivity/handedness/etc... Maybe I am over thinking it while simultaneously under thinking it. ;) Paging V. I. Arnold just in case.

Sandia is doing a trapped ion quantum computer experiments? Very cool — I did not know. Good luck!

Thanks! This is good to know as well. And thanks for pausing to help someone who honestly has no spare time whatsoever to dig in. I know that is probably frustrating for some (not necessarily you, it’s just I’ve been there and it can be

Thanks I’ll check it out. I didn’t hang out in the thread so I wouldn’t have known!

The large sample size in cross section is not compelling to me - On its on - over a short duration of time. Because I know nothing about long term possibilities from that. The statistics as derived from the dynamics of “how rna works” - ye

Oh good point to know, thanks. Kind of disappointed(and kind of happy to hear it’s worthy of such study) as I have to many textbooks to unpack already. The back burner is going to be burning for a while!

Interesting. I will check this out when I have a chance. I struggled mightily between something like Nietzsche-and-Buddhism as a kid in my 20s. Had to simply put it down one day, but it’s always been on the back burner. “Mastering the co

Ah okay. Thanks for that insight! That seems key.

it would appear you are sampling an unknown distribution, finding it mostly to be negligible in its effects, and calling it linear? I’m confused so let me try an analogy with DNA: most mutations do nothing. Every now and then, cancer. Samp

Ah, thanks. I felt that was a separate point to the idea of stopping progress because we have enough. I didn’t realize that was the main point? Yes indeed, we have enough to ease those burdens and it’s a terrible thing that they continue!
