    I don’t feel like reading what is probably AI generated content. But based on looking at the model fits where hyperbolic models are extrapolating from the knee portion, having 2 da…

    > Why do we need triple the administrative staff that was utilized in the 1960s across industries like education, healthcare, etc. Well for starters the population has almost 3x si…

    Why does it matter if it's not for consumer applications? GNSS is used for many more applications (and arguably more critical) than consumer applications (agriculture, mapping & su…

    India is very different than Europe. It would be difficult to attribute outcomes between the 2 countries to just this single difference without considering the many other differenc…

    The financialization of everything to extract incremental value is exhausting. I feel its also very detrimental to society when every positive interaction has to involve money. Go …

    Yep but just an easy first approximation since the article didn’t have any numbers on the momentum of the particle. I’m sure if you wanted a really good answer you would need more …

    Wikipedia has it in the comparison. It’s more like getting punched. Really hard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    Google maps is very eager to re-route around traffic which ends up taking you down back roads (atleast in the US). Which are narrow, not controlled-access, poorly lit, and maybe wi…

    Like others have mentioned the entire field of sensor fusion deals with this problem. It is a very challenging problem to solve but it can be solved and it has been successfully us…

    Are you running an ad blocker by any chance? I turned off my ad blocker and the ads showed up.

    Shouldn't you multiply rather than add IID events?

    I think this is not the correct way of thinking of Moore's law. Like mentioned elsewhere, Moore's law is not so much a law as a self-fulfilling prediction. Semiconductor companies …

    Nope you are right. Ferromagnetism is very rare in nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism#Ferromagnetic_m...

    I am not sure toughness has anything to do with ferromagnetic properties. But it seems like a bad idea anyways considering that very few materials are naturally ferromagnetic.

    Very high field magnets are critical for MRIs, tokamak fusion reactors, mass spectrometers, and probably many other uses if we consider pure science as “useful”. Actually particle …

    Agreed! The list of highest growth and highest decline cities by page view is almost entirely small cities. This is a pointless stat because of course the small cities are going to…

    Any location estimator worth its salt is already doing this through the use of a multi-rate EKF. On top of that, it takes into account the vehicle dynamics (i.e. cars can't move pe…

    It’s also incorrect to assume the expected value of the equity is zero. It’s much more useful to model it as E(x)=x*p(x), especially if you have some useful information on estimati…

    Yeah maybe. Are we talking about PBS overall or the Newshour segment? In PBS Newshour the upfront report by Judy is very much fact based. I agree though that the various mini-docum…

    An hour of PBS Newshour a day. Very much fact based reporting with maybe a slight left leaning bias. Digest it and move on and live your life. Besides that, I just turn off the new…

    AND it seems to be based on a simulation which can be fudged in all sorts of ways. Nvidia’s track record with cpus is spotty at best. Not sure how much weight to put on these claim…
