Yes, I made a similar comment on the other mention today. The author seems to misunderstand what GR is / what it added to physics too (creating self-referential field equations to …

AI has made 'jumps' in demanding fields like leading mathematical research and has made advancements in AI research itself. Is now a good time to start a maths career? Is there a f…

Point taken, they are real heroes. But they become heroes after getting a magical power - an unrealistic alternative to the risk, sacrifice, growth, etc required in real life.

I thought the same thing when I wrote it, but I can't place it either :) It's broadly similar to a lot of non-sci-fi tropes in children's literature too like 'adult for a day'.

Protests against automation, or for the restructuring of society to accommodate automation without causing suffering of laborers, etc, is literally one of the largest and most exte…

I had a more generous reading of the article. Let's say a nerd is an intelligent but introverted person who shies away from the world, focusing their energy on a narrow range of se…

It's interesting that your two examples are of men whose early adulthoods were shaped by large scale global conflicts, yet you totally dismiss the author's idea that the easy rewar…

Yes, and non plugin-in batteries don't just need a permit - typically the power company also directly controls the battery, via a web API that the manufacturer provides (at least i…

You're attacking a geographical interpretation of 'western' which I don't think is the usual meaning. Rome and its successor states colonised western Europe over the course of ~200…

You're describing connections with regions which were on the borders of the western empires during antiquity. While there's abundant examples of cross pollination, there's also no …

That's commendable, but I do think it emphasizes my point. If you have such ethical concerns, why develop powerful technology on behalf of shareholders whose identities and intenti…

That's the one. I read the 2nd edition on kindle. There is only one short chapter on harmony but discussion of tone, intervals, etc is comprehensive.

I have to highly recommend the book 'Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics' for mathematical/physical explanations of sound and music. Bells having multiple resonant modes, tuning kett…

Not only that but his outrage is narrowly focused on contemporary US politics. Billions of people access food, shelter, medicine, education, etc, only by the rapidly diminishing le…

> It's mostly about reading datasheets, and connecting pins to each other IOC those datasheets .. Maybe the physics and mathematics are more important for analog electronics or des…

Concrete examples? Quick google only shows small discounts for DCs relative to other wholesale industrial consumers, which could be partially explained away by the flat load, lack …

I don't think the mechanism is that different, and even if it was Europe, etc would have the same issue - data centers would still bid up the price for existing capacity, and the f…

Where can we read about the xray setup? e.g the type of sensor, if/how the target and/or beam is scanned, any fancy gratings/etc, what kind of CT algorithms are used

I'm pro-renewables, and I've worked, studied extensively, and invested in that field. There remain significant hard-to-abate uses (fact) which I believe (opinion) will slow down de…

India, China, Germany are just examples of countries who burn fossil fuels to provide for your standard of living. I explained, in some detail, why a) I expect decarbonisation to t…

You've not addressed a single one of my arguments, only replied to my conclusion, and doubled down on the arrogance despite being apparently less educated on this topic than me. > …

I've never played fallout, and this isn't a game for me. I do have an electrical engineering degree, have read dozens of textbooks on (renewable) power generation, thermodynamics a…

Nuclear is the other option, and cherry picking the most generous data from a deindustrialised economy is a far less meaningful metric than you seem to think. I wish people like yo…

I've seen even pros make all kinds of mistakes, since PCB layout isn't really a focus of EE education. It's interesting that you've done so well with Claude. The usual temptation o…

Does the AI have a say in what type of residential buildings are built, or is it all up to the player? If the AI is choosing, then there should be some way to naturally incentivize…
