About throwwit

Had to be said. Being openly cynical is optimistic right? Since it might effect positive change?

    ‘Suppressing’ might be a loaded term, as is implies cytokine storms are not simply a complication of an unregulated immune system (Vitamin D deficit) to begin with. Cause and effec…

    This. I’m surprised 3D printing hasn’t been employed more aggressively to cut down the complexity of production & sourcing. I’d imagine MM3D being used to create electro active pol…

    I think a dimpled fabrication would be best... with whatever amounts to heat sinks on both sides.

    It’d be neat to see a divergent lens made of carbon metamaterial at the aft of the craft. (... or convergent depending on the shape of the craft)

    Might be popular with flat-earthers ;-) ... the psychological phenomenon might even be related

    Eulerian magnification should show artifacts of the slow down.

    My take so far (with limited research) is that Peterson is trying to evoke debate on the issues in a centrist fashion reminiscent of Plato and his cave. The ‘shapes’ of traditional…

    Seems more like a ~pantry~ for DNA synthesis than anything functional, especially given its four strands make for difficult reaction kinetics.

    It’d be interesting to see an implementation with time-of-flight, the precision of surface mapping could only go up. Even combining an SLR improves resolution [ https://pdfs.semant…

    There’s been good progress in foodbank tech despite it being a fork. http://m.wfp.org/news/news-release/blockchain-against-hunger... Good luck Vitalik

    Apologies if I’m cargo-culting math... just positing.

    Well what I meant was shrinking the n body system to a point then extending that to a field. But it’s beyond me how the math works to invert those same force vectors to an impulse.…

    Just the inverse n-vectors applied (regardless of space and field strength or possibly just instantaneous field strength). Always good to be called out tho.

    I think bitcoin’s fixed-limit and deterministic transactions makes it a uniquely closed & conserved system (regardless of deflation and lost wallets). The discrepancies in valuatio…

    Ha... I guess I can be a bit terse. Just think of the “turbulence” in navier-stokes as valuation fluctuations. Without the realworld dampening effects of regulation, slow tranactio…

    All the more reason to do your christmas shopping early. Lol. I take the total crypto market cap more seriously though.

    Isn’t Navier-Stokes smoothness just a reframing of the three-body problem? Karl Sundman solved that one in 1909, and n-body was generalized in 1990 by Qiudong Wang. Edit- to answer…

    Financial forecasting and risk-elimination in a system like a blockchain would be my guess — and in that respect it’s probably the most important problem out there IMO.

    ...maybe check if it's "convergence insufficiency".
