My understanding is that CH4 breakdown in the atmosphere isn’t a matter of exponential decay either but is (or could become) rate limited by OH radical availability. Such that the …

There are already non-self-driving cars that get speed limits from signs. I’ve seen that feature in a Honda for example. I imagine you’d have multiple sources like a max speed for …

They have somewhat different amounts of sugars by volume since the fat is removed, but they don’t have added sugar. The caloric fraction from sugar will be much higher though, mayb…

Not a sphere, we know that can’t happen due to the topological constraint you brought up. Instead picture a float plane tiled by equilateral triangles. Now mark each vertex as eith…

You stimulated out the situation where Monty Hall always picks the door without the prize. That’s exactly the standard Monty Hall problem. Change your code to instead allow him to …

Pedantry: it doesn’t have to be flat - for example a triangulated parabola could also have that configuration. You only get a topological result from just knowing edge and vertex c…

It’s not the same. Try stimulating it out if my argument above didn’t convince you. WLOG if you pick door 0 out of 0,1,2 and host picks door 1 always, then the the relevant value i…

This is what I thought at first but simulating it out, it’s not true. The strategy of switching doors works 2/3rds of the time but only if you allow picking the opened door (when i…

And further if these people were apparently also telling voters who to vote for, then they must have had all the election officials there in on it. Supporting a candidate like that…

I was a machine operator in the 2020 election in Philadelphia. It’s as you describe, everyone there (4-6 people) have to sign off at the end of the night on the totals. Two people …

This already exists in some fields though. Gene expression sequencing data is almost universally made public through the Gene Expression Omnibus website, and that’s quite storage i…

That’s just what it shows after rounding up. The site correctly doesn’t let you enter 1c for velocity since it’s not possible.

As measured relative to the destination, yes, but if so then that means the passengers get crushed under infinite gs.

It makes sense that it would have weird connections but the big claim here is that it outputs those connections as rendered text despite failing to output actual text is was traine…

Since you’re not aware, a very common reason to talk in public is to gain something from one’s talking. The situation at hand looks a lot like that, and in particular gaining somet…

That’s only the case if there are only two articles. In general you’d be looking at the difference of two order statistics (of the uniform distribution). You could probably approxi…

Can someone elaborate on the meaning of the "Recursion is not an option" quote?

Good news! It’s been years since most government funding sources have required research they fund to be open access. The NSF has required this since 2016 and the NIH since 2008. Th…

So how embarrassed should I be for using Vue for small, static websites? I made a results page for some data my colleagues and I processed and there’sa bunch of categories. So ther…

The actual volume stated in the article puts it at more like 0.51 cubic km (18 billion cubic feet), FYI.

The numbers from that article are just completely wrong. 32x bigger in volume would be just 3.2x the linear dimensions of the Great Pyramid. The volume numbers in the article are a…

I’m also skeptical of the approach here but for the opposite reason. ML will conquer proofs by an AlphaZero approach of ignoring all human training data. You can generate arbitrary…

There’s relevant scenes to this in the Stephen Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything.

On the contrary, R packaging system is too broken for R to be reliably reproducible. No one specifies package versions or R versions. Base R has no way to install a specific versio…

I don’t see that as relevant to my points. My main point is that an officer can easily abuse this law due to asymmetric information/outcome despite the limits in the text. The offi…
