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 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…

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 …

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 …

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…

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…
