It's not very tedious. Instead of dividing the product by 2, you can just divide whichever of x or x+1 is even by 2 before multiplying.

Hedy Lamarr was a prolific inventor. Among other things, she developed a frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique for torpedo guidance and donated the patent to the US Navy during WW2.

Do you think cost might be a factor? The economy isn't great right now. Prices are high. Alcohol is an unnecessary expense that people can cut out to save money (and it's more expensive at bars and restaurants where people can esc

I'd absolutely feel the same way if we were talking about dowsing rods or a plastic Harry Potter sorting hat or any bullshit we can think of. I don't want our national security to rely on untested or disproven methods to determine

Sure, but don't you find it a little curious that these tests are being waived so selectively? If the FBI believes polygraphs serve some purpose, why would it choose to waive them?

The USA (and many countries) decided long ago to allow the sale of alcohol, a drug that ends many lives and ruins many, many more. I hope that once these fentanyl smugglers are dealt with, we can do something about the drug sellers that are

False positives can effectively lead to false negatives too. If too many alarms end in teens getting swatted (or worse) for eating chips, people might ignore the alarm if an actual school shooter triggers it. Might assume the AI is just scr

Airplanes don't need roads either, but airports do a lot more than just provide hangars to store them and runways for them to take off and land. There's all kinds of systems to help planes avoid collisions too. You might think it&

Leucovorin works (at least for some cases of CFD) because it bypasses a folate transport protein that can be nonfunctional and fail to transport ordinary folic acid into the brain. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they couldn&#x27

So why did Dupont and 3M cover up their own evidence of PFAS toxicity for decades? (This is a known fact. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2023/05/425451/makers-pfas-forever... ) Why did they do that, if not

I found the patent extremely difficult to read, but I didn't see anything that describes something so specific as throwing a Pokéball, and in fact, it seemed to me that the patent specifically covers cases where the Pokémon comes out a

Ah, sorry. I remembered people at the time of its release saying it was Dolphin because some of the bugs were identical. I guess I misremembered that speculation as fact. I didn't even know Dolphin was GPL. Thanks for correcting me.

How long was your bullet chess elo stable at 850 (and how often were you playing) before this experiment began? I'm asking because the act of playing constitutes practice, which could itself cause a rise in your elo. Bit of a confoundi

Nintendo's own Switch release of Super Mario Sunshine used an outdated version of Dolphin, one of those imperfect emulators. (People were remarking on the emulator bugs as soon as it was released.) They saw a demand and didn't let

This article is about replacing the current scale with one that does factor in more than just wind speed. You're right that it's still just a number though.

This is not a "climate change is getting worse" story, as I think you're implying :/ (I don't entirely blame you--I doubt you read the article, but I do think the title is misleading.) This is just a story of &quo

That's not what this is. (The person you're responding to didn't read the article.) They're not looking to add a "total-er destruction" category; they're looking to replace the current scale with one that

That's not what the proposed change is about. (It's about replacing the scale with a different one that takes into account flooding and other dangers that better reflect the likelihood of fatalities than just wind speed alone. Cat

CYP2D6 metabolizes DXM into a much more potent NMDA antagonist (dextrorphan, sometimes abbreviated to DXO). Inhibiting it boosts some action(s) of DXM but likely reduces the NMDA antagonist effect.

I fully share your distrust of Google, and I think it's unforgivable that they still haven't patched it, yet it's not obvious to me what of their own software would rely on it not being patched? (Are you suggesting Google exp

Oh, I bet you're right. I was only giving the first example that came to mind. I think transportation is a better example, a field where many cities (at least in the USA) could have better quality of life for less energy. When ever

I vaguely recall reading that as a rule of thumb, mouse doses of various drugs tend to be equivalent to around ten times higher than human doses in terms of mg/kg. (Don't quote me on that.) It's not true that there's no

It would make a difference even if we humans could just accept the same quality of life we already have, instead of building more and more, larger and larger data centers, for whatever the future of AI is. Computers have become so much mo
