That video was so obviously not LK-99 I doubt anyone sane was fooled by it (anybody who has played with magnets knows that’s how ferrous metal hangs off of them). We’ve seen proper levitation of specks that hasn’t been falsified yet. That s

I've definitely noticed that SF lacks the NorCal accent which I grew up with in Walnut Creek, and this map shows that.

This seems like a rather bad faith article. While there are certainly people overhyping LK-99 (and prediction markets seem to have a higher chance of success than one would expect), the general sentiment about the material I find online is

What part of it do you doubt? It’s obvious that clouds are white, and it’s obvious that they are cooler than the earth and even colder higher up (clouds form because the adiabatic expansion of rising air cools it down and causes water to co

The amount of market position you (or someone you have sold the information to) can build up is limited by market liquidity / trade volumes.

The Earth is only about 150 million km (1 AU) from the sun, so nope the Earth can't move far enough to make up for a 2 degree miss from 32 billion km away, even if it's in the right direction.

Check your math. It gets ~65 australias away each day.

It's worse than that. If you've confirmed results, you now have an incentive not to publish your results, instead building up a market position on prediction markets for as long as possible.

Whether it looks like the real thing certainly also plays into whether it feels like the real thing.

Then you can examine the specific camera and try to prove it has been tampered with. At least you know exactly which camera to look at.

If you're asking how to apply the Navier-Stokes equations: apply boundary conditions If you're asking how to derive the Navier-Stokes equations, use continuum / conservation principles.

That statement in Wikipedia is flat out wrong and notably isn't citing any source.

Nonsense. There's nothing incomplete about our model for lift on airplanes.

Just use a certificate chain. The manufacturer can provide each camera its own private key, signed by the manufacturer.

This would be trivially broken once sufficiently good open source pretrained LLMs become available, as bad actors would simply use unwatermarked models.

Do I need to repeat myself? What do limits on agriculture have to do with limits on computing?

"Go to any major US city, there are large parts of it cordoned off to people of specific ethnicities" - this seems like a you problem. In my experience, people in ethnic enclaves tend to be very to people of other ethnicities.

There's no phenomenon that causes the F-35 to magically lose its stealth coating at the end of exactly one flight. You can obviously delay maintenance for a few flights just fine.

Leaving aside that we're still far from hitting the limits to growth outlined in that book, and that we can exceed those limits to growth by expanding outside of Earth, what does a book about physical limitations on agriculture and ind

Heck why even go that far? Given how much texts we have in scanned books, just feed it scans of the books and let it dedicate a bunch of layers to learning OCR.

It certainly feels wrong for spacetime to be quantized, because it’s fundamentally no linear and geometric in a way that other things aren’t, and quantized theories like string theory tend not to be inherently background independent, which
