Could YouTube provide more structure and moderate by subcatgories? Say I say I'm an expert in chemistry and education - then I would be available to moderate chem Ed videos. I'm not convinced this isn't an attempt by YT to cl

The use of financial incentives often displace a genuine interest and motivation to do such things. Be wary of applying it too broadly, I think.

A small note - is anyone else frustrated that the video can't be played in both directions? Watching someone disorder a solved cube is not particularly interesting or satisfying. I'm sure it does serve the text, but boy it irks me

There's very little novelty in what VR provides - it just provides a significant enhancement in the experience Also, limitations can breed efficiency - by being constrained to a 2D projection, the interactions are simplified and stream

If everyone had 'gods' instead of an internal monologue, why would anybody care if Moses said Jehovah spoke to him? "Who cares?" God revealed to Levi, "It happens to all of us."

How and why are nations established? Do they not get to have their own territory, or do they have less right to sovereignty than the US or Argentina?

I think you could swing some academic or national lab position if you put some time into it. Is there anything even tangentially related to your dayjob that you could mine for ideas? Or maybe take some time to come up with some research dir

Yeah, that's the actual question and probably a reason why it's not an established technique Also, low-frequency waves naturally are lower energy. Why not bury the output and increase the frequency? It would have the added benefit

Well, he was apparently a member of the church - so, yes! And it was probably bordered on lust in the classical sense (and, more accurately, in the modern one).

That's probably the right side of history anyway. Pilot wave fails in a lot of ways, but it at least allows a way to express the anxiety of thinking "is that it?! Nobody thought of a better rationalization?!" You experience t

The future of computing is here! After tiring of convoluted web 3.0 frameworks and Babel-esque dependency structures, programmers have finally fashioned a black box they cannot understand which relieves the anxiety of knowing they should.

Yeah, I don't see pilot wave as valid. I think it's wishful theorizing from people who can't take Copenhagen. There is also a divorcing of pilot wave from these particular visualizations - the emergent properties of fluids wi

You might be interested in Pilot Wave Theory. It tries to reconcile wave/particle duality by claiming there is a real physical particle at all times in an attempt to get around the strange idea of everything being a probablistic wavefu

I want to take a second to rep my absolute favorite podcast, Physics Frontiers.° It's not a "pop-sci" podcast - they take a couple of interesting modern physics papers and discuss them; no more, no less. A lot of it is way ov

Blender allows for the use of human units. It also contains engines for physics and lots of videos explaining how to do interesting things, including allowing for Python scripting Choosing a very popular free platform has benefits (blender.

I mean, this was the essential point that brought about chaos theory, right? Rounding wind speeds down at the force of a butterfly flap caused significant deviations for known weather patterns. Having people half-ass assumptions because the

Right - how do you document some subgroup without one one trying to make it into a generalizable truth about something.

I think it comes down to whether we make illegal the creation/possession of images which do not require an existing physical subject - eg cartoon porn. If we allow all cartoon porn because nobody has been victimized, then the above sce
