That's probably because they are 3D printed prototypes. He says in the link that they're working on creating the molds for injection molding.

Sure, but when urgency suddenly became necessary, mRNA technology was pursued quickly, which indicates that we already knew it was promising.

Hitler was not good, much less great, for technology. Germany was the scientific center of the world before the Nazis took power, so their successes are mostly attributable to iner…

Everything on that website is good like that, but unfortunately I wish I had more like it to recommend.

Yeah, it is different, but once you know what you're after you can measure. It's a "type error" to ask for the number of bits of entropy in a baseball, but if you ask for the bits …

Yeah! You can derive the second law from "conservation of information". This is a great resource about thermodynamics which goes into some of these ideas: http://www.av8n.com/physi…

Entropy is a measure of the uncertainty that an observer has over the microstates (i.e. the exact state of every atom) given their knowledge of the macrostate (i.e. what they are c…

And they're getting bought by Intuit (TurboTax)...

One of the major aims of physics is to try to describe reality with mathematical constructs. If you start with what can be directly observed or experienced, then that's phenomenolo…

"The Many-Worlds Interpretation has it that each time we make a measurement, reality splits into several alternative versions, identical except for the measurement outcome." That's…

Memory engrams are thought to be DNA methylation patterns in a neuron's DNA. http://learnmem.cshlp.org/content/23/10/587.full https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-14498-4

Nope, black holes have entropy proportional to the surface area of their event horizon. So the more stuff they engulf, the more their entropy increases, and thus they satisfy the 2…

The Bullet Cluster ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster ) is a big reason why: it's a collision of two clusters of galaxies. We can see where the gas and stars are, but g…

But we know that is very possible to do already, via relativistic effects.

I think it's just because hispanic people are poorer and thus more likely to be essential workers.

Honestly I think that will be harder for this kind of system than writing this sort of code. It takes a certain kind of creativity to think of ways that code could potentially fail…

As a teen, I was obsessed with knot theory, and Conway's knot notation always felt like magic to me. The notation works by counting the number of twists in a segment, and then look…

For women considering Modafinil, note that it interferes with hormonal birth control.

Terry Tao has a really great post where he depicts group actions (every Rubik's cube move sequence is a group action) as arrows in a graph, and with this picture, commutators can b…

Keisler has a introductory text book (available free here: https://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html ) that uses non-standard analysis, which he claims is easier for beginners t…

It seems like they address this issue as well: "Another key advantage is that most of the solid blanket materials used to surround the fusion chamber in such reactors are replaced …
