    This idea is common in Shogi piece designs for those who can't read the traditional Kanji designs.

    The molecules in a crystal still vibrate kinetically. A solid with no molecular motion would be at absolute zero temperature.

    The Airthings View Plus is a good one. It has high quality (for consumer) particulate, CO2, VOC and Radon sensors and a good interface. Also tracks temperature, pressure, and humid…

    Practice like you are learning a musical instrument or chess. Break it down into very specific subskills (like a specific chess endgame or guitar picking technique) and practice th…

    Feynman diagrams are a representation of an integral so moving beyond them is a question of reformulating the mathematical basis of physics. There is some work in that direction (l…

    He's not wrong about the narrow algorithmic use cases (so far), but he's completely missing the utility for simulation of quantum phenomena (chemistry, microbiology, materials scie…

    I think one of the biggest applications for quantum computers which isn't well appreciated is simulation of quantum systems: chemistry and materials science. Similar to the old ana…

    There are always alternative ways to describe the same phenomena. For example QM could be done with only real numbers (you can emulate imaginary numbers with matrix operations). Th…

    No, they can solve integer factoring. This result shows that polynomial factoring is fundamentally different from integer factoring. The latter is believed to not be NP Hard.

    Every apparent exponential in the real universe must actually be a logistic or some other bounded curve.

    If you mean important in the sense of potential economic impact, this seems like a case where you should form a company to develop the idea.

    This reminds me of this chart showing underestimation of solar growth by the International Energy Agency for decades: https://twitter.com/aukehoekstra/status/931869221386104832 One…

    He had grants for 0.25% of the company but left when only 1/3 of them were vested . Gitlab will probably IPO for at least a $10 billion valuation. Assuming no further dilution sinc…

    The headline is misleading. The work tightened the range of possible strengths of a fifth force by a factor of 10. In other words it ruled out the existence of a fifth force within…

    It's just an absolutely giant construction project. The mass and volume of the construction goes as the cube of the major radius of the reactor. Back of the envelope, SPARC is (6/1…

    Thanks for the links. This is a really well written case which relies on an easily swallowed fallacy. The argument is that the main limiter to improvement of batteries is research …

    Wind acts like a battery (or capacitor) that smooths out fluctuations in solar energy. Radiant solar being more "direct" really has nothing to do with which is the better option.
