Climbers know this phenomenon as the "send train". A group of climbers has been working on a problem for a while. When the first person sends it, it often happens that multiple people are successful in the immediate attempts that

Impressive feat by Waymo, though it could have been 100-200ms faster had it noticed not only the change in trajectory, but also the jerky motion that destabilized the scooter. For a truly superhuman performance, it might even register the b

Haha, I've always enjoyed being at the end getting less attention from teachers. If the data merely shows a correlation, it may as well be explained by us at the end being under less pressure.

Most useful is relative. The book dealers who gave me my first ever contract for an automated leaflet generator that generated customized leaflets for each dealer would consider that the most useful. It's been over a decade and they st
