It might be because you weren't in a Physics or an Engineering program. Colleges tend to have two tracks for physics, one that's closer to high school physics, which is as you described. A collection of algebraic equations that yo

I'm not sure how anyone's intervention could ever withstand some of these effects. I could foresee maybe a sun shade of some sort to help mitigate the increase in temperature, but at some point the sun is going to envelope the ear

I'm not sure one can, from today that is, really understand how huge of a leap was made by AI at this time. Even going back to the closest analogue, chess, there were good chess engines for a long time prior to Kasparov loosing in 97 t

The Valve Index is nearly 5 years old now. And while I love my Index, the state of the art has moved forward a lot and I am excited by the next generation Index, if it ever comes. I don't think VR/AR is the absolute future of all

I'm very privacy forward with respect to my home networks. I run a home zigbee network which does everything I want it to in the home. Yes I can't turn the lights on and off from the other side of the world, but neither can anyone

Given the recent legal cases where lawyers did use Chat GPT to do research and help write their brief did not go very well I'm not sold that on all the optimism that's here in the comments.

I assure you that I am not surprised with how much historical writing I am locked out of by not being able to read Latin. Honestly I would be willing to bet that it as much as I am locked out of from not being able to read Chinese, Sanskrit

What does teaching Latin in schools have to do with schools, ostensibly, failing? Are you saying that Latin is something that is useful to everyday life and because we don't teach it to our children we're depriving them of this wo

To add onto the sibling's point, the "safe following distance" has a rule of thumb of "3 seconds behind". At 65MPH, I'm assuming you're in the US, is approximately 300 feet. I'm willing to bet that&#x

I mean, yes, things like The Arrow of Time, Entropy, our entire understanding of black holes, most of quantum mechanics. Yeah, if information can be destroyed then a lot of physics needs to be redone.

Holy hell, talk about burying the lede here! The last sentence of the whole article is: The new theory allows for information to be destroyed, due to a fundamental breakdown in predictability. Are you kidding me?!

Can't wait for the Butlerian Jihad to begin! Flippancy aside, as others have pointed out, Spotify isn't turning a profit. Other than the tangency of blaming AI for all of our ills, this seems like a non-sequitur.

You are correct, he is a bit of a crackpot. A crackpot who ran in the 2016 presidential race to get money out of politics. A crackpot who, in 2014, created the Mayday PAC to fund and push candidates that support campaign finance reform. A c

Something one should consider is that while math is surprisingly applicable, and as you correctly picked up I was making a reference to the "Unreasonable Effectiveness" quote, it is never exact. Newton's laws are enough for u

Part of the reason that you're going to run into trouble with sets being universal, or foundational, rightly found in a theorem that was birthed from set theory, Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem[0]. I will confess that when I took d

The ideas of sets being the universal foundation of math is arbitrary as any other bit of math. Which is to say all of it is arbitrary. Just as you ask, "where in nature does one observe these weird things?" I would to ask where i

If AMD cards were half the price of Nvidia ones then sure, this would happen. The 4090 can be had for ~$1600USD and the RX 7900 for about ~$1000USD. A significant discount, however the RX 7900 is about 3/4ths as powerful as the 4090, w
