Your comment prompted me to go read about epicenters and I learned something new. The hypocenter of an earthquake is apparently the point of origin of the earthquake and the epicen…

What’s stopping someone from just taking the derivative of a crazy expression, asking stackexchange what the integral is, then answering it themself with what they already know is …

I think this is really wild and interesting. In my experience, they (more like specializations of the Kalman filter) are used almost universally in radar tracking. I'm curious wher…

I've been (kind of) successful with this with my Apple Watch SE and Honda Civic. The issues arise when I have both my phone and watch in the car and it wants to connect to the watc…

It's kind of interesting how handling this well varies from hobby to hobby and is tricky to balance from person to person. There's the argument that you don't want to spend too muc…

Irrelevant to article content, but did anyone else find the cookie UX on this site infuriating?

Is there any regulated/"official" definition to the word "processed" in this context? I see the word so much in the context of food in general and I've never known exactly what it …

Not if you keep overbuilding for star and moonlight!

Being almost completely uninformed on the details of Apple/TSMC's dealings, I'm curious, would Apple ever position themselves to get into chip fabrication? I'm sure there are big r…

Yeah this seems so strange a thing to do. Maybe they're personalized/ruggedized in some nice way?

I've wondered the same thing. The only thing I can think of is some kind of god awful false positive rate. Which doesn't really make sense either considering the technology we have…

I can do this on my cellular Apple Watch. Not quite as easy to fiddle with, but for straight forward stuff in my own city it's quite nice.

They want an exciting disruption to current theory.

I guess if you already have C++ that you'd prefer not to re-write. Also things like graphics programming, while making great strides in rust, are definitely still superior in C++ i…

Very true. Although not such an uncommon contrast in Huntsville, AL, where Destin lives.

If I remember right, his dad was/is very involved in the JWST.

Not exactly what you're talking about, but I recently got a cellular Apple Watch and I've been trying to have only that with me as much as possible. I can do all the things on your…

I think it's Goldman Sachs as mentioned in their parent comment.

But the subject of the wiki page is the observed effects on wives (specifically in Japanese culture), not husbands. There's surely plenty of literature out there on how retired peo…

I figure kreetx is referring to bootcamp'd intel Macs running full Linux.

Me. It would honestly be one of the biggest life improvements technology could possibly provide me given it was really and truly autonomous. The amount of extra time it would grant…

This is what I always try to ask people. Is there even a possible definition of free will within the laws of physics? It seems to me to be blurry philosophy and nobody has the same…

Something you might be interested in is the OpenAI group's attempt at making a Dota 2 playing AI which, if you're unfamiliar, is a 5v5 imperfect information computer game. The AI t…
