    Nice puzzles, thanks letting me have a couple of fun minutes with those. In the star battle (at least the medium I played) the solutions are non-unique and there you sometimes make…

    When I read the title, I immediately though, I think this is going to be about Brussel sprouts etc. as I just saw a video [0] that mentions the same lineage. The video is part of t…

    Stated clearly (0) has recently started a fantastic series about evolution that aims to explain bacterial flagella. It starts from basic principles and aims to answer questions lik…

    Maybe you should train an LLM to judge the content /s More seriously though, I think some sort of curation is unavoidable with such topics. If you get inspired by stack overflow wh…

    Additionally i would argue that in every such programm there will be people that abuse the system. Just because gp knows one such person, does not mean that everybody will be doing…

    Not necessarily, the measurement train my company develops can go up to 100 km/h and measure certain rail features every 5mm at that speed.

    Apollo 1 burned quite well unfortunately. But IMHO it makes no sense to compare those things anyways.

    That's also what he writes in the article, I.e. LLMs are large language models, so the approach is generally flawed. A sentiment I agree with.

    Correct. Usually you need to perform a so called surface protocol after surfacing to show you are still conscious enough. This can be e.g. the removal of your mask, an OK sign and …

    You cant avoid co2 build-up, you can only slow it down, main factor here is relaxation. Particularly your brain needs loads of o2, so if you can keep that calm it helps a lot. Obvi…

    To answer your questions: - A coach / safety will give a signal to the athlete, e.g. pinching of the arm and the athlete will react to it by e.g. lifting a finger. - Training. You …

    Why not? Its a big difference whether you go ski jumping in leggings or in a wingsuit. Obviously the difference in reality is less, but the principle stands

    Not sure your last statement is necessarily correct, just think of the massive doping in the former soviet union. The prestige gained by countries due to e.g. the Olympics regularl…

    I thought the same but after watching the Netflix TdF documentary I would not agree to your statement anymore. Team strategy plays a huge role as e.g. driving in the slipstream sav…

    There is a sport called finswimming which has underwater speed disciplines (apnea or with bottles). But as the name implies it comes with the use of fins. https://en.m.wikipedia.or…

    Nice implementation. I found it very intuitive to find the necessary features like marking a mine or tapping on a number that has all its mines marked to reveal the safe squares. B…

    Ah thanks I missed that. Then it seems there is nearly no damping used.

    Would be interesting to know what integrator they use. Verlet schemes can be implemented with very little effort and they don't suffer from this issue (see e.g. the leap frog metho…

    Not op, just an observation, when you are underwater e.g. diving these things are really loud. Of course jet skis etc are even worse but the latter is not permitted were I go divin…

    I also tend to use my freediving experience for the opposite, when I'm highly stressed I tend to do one or two short (full exhale) breath holds to calm down. This works amazingly q…

    That is still considered hyperventilation as a freediver, even though you might not feel any symptoms. The suggestions you gave in your previous post are dangerous and should not b…

    Correct. You can deal with the urge to breathe with your brain. High co2 has additional benefits for your metabolism, you just need to deal with it. If that sounds interesting take…

    You should try freediving. 2 length in a 50m pool without weights and fins is way above average. But please take a course first, free diving can be very safe but only if done with …

    No worries. I would still consider these methods to be very different from each other. SPH, FVM and so on are methods to discretize continuum equations. If you have a continuum equ…

    Regarding your questions, yes, DEM also benefits a lot from GPU acceleration. So you can compare it to a CPU based code, but obviously there's an order of magnitude you can gain vi…
