so knowing the buliding height we could figure out which time and day the aerial picture was taken? And given time and day we could figure out how high the buildings are. Could this be used to generate large scale 3d building models automatically? Does anyone know whether this has been attempted?

My dentist told me to stop doing that, bad for teeth...

Would love to reproduce this, please post the full specs of the machine and os!

ignore it

It does, but the key heare is the length limitation. Spending 1m on a more aerodynamic shape means 1m less cargo space. So the fuel efficiency per cargo volume actually goes down.

Don't worry about it then. Some people are faster at starting than others. Just do your best and don't worry about it until this happens again.

Well, did it ever work?

If a carpenter told me he preferred screws over nails or vice versa I would think he was probably just a bad carpenter.

If he went on to post about his preference on the Internet with some made up examples I would be sure that he couldn't be trusted.

Well what is the meat of the content? The article says they are a bit cheaper, overstates by how much and does not put that in relation to any measure of performance.

"Lada Cost a Fraction of Bentley" thank you very much.

This is very sketchy. The guy came in with an agenda. He wrote the book first, then raised money to do the research to prove his hypothesis and finally failed to do so. Now apparently they're shutting down and we are non the wiser.

All these studies can be explained by the long known effect that changing diets makes you use more energy temporarily. There might also be some truth to the old story that reducing your calories is easier when eating salad and chicken than when eating cake and ice cream.

How disappointing.

Just like dead reckoning works today, you start from a known point at known attitude and integrate up accelerations and rotations to keep an up to date position. Whenever you can get a GPS signal you use that to reduce the drift. Cheap systems can do this for seconds, 10k$ buys you 15minutes (MEMS), 100k an hour (laser gyro), everything above is under export restrictions and NDAs so noone will tell you what the state of the art is.

Looks like with these frozen gasses one can build even better sensors, which will make no difference for civilian use because it will be even more expensive than existing systems and also because we wouldn't be allowed to use it.

There is true randomness stemming from real random processes. There is also effective randomness coming from chaotic processes. Chaos means that perturbations grow very fast. Then there is the uncertainty principle which sets a limit to how precisely you can know the initial conditions. So even with infinite computing power most observations can not be predicted for longer amount of times. This leaves a lot of space for free will. And also for esoteric theories.

I can't remember the last time I had to wait for affinity or Photoshop to compute. Maybe if you have 100MP images from a Hasselblad?

I think what they are trying to (not) say is that while it might have been a lab leak it's better for the funding situation not to dig too deep. Also if that turns out to be true it might be harder to get countries to cooperate because they will be too busy blaming china. I think they are probably right about both. Its just not the kind of argument you woukd naively expect from scientists.

Let's discuss in public, I think others might be interested. What do you mean by scale? Are you saying that the biologica are too expensive and you are looking for cheaper solutions? Apart from the price AFAIK they are the best known solution.

In that case hurting yourself trying to find sth. cheaper is not worth it, because: a) it is bad for you b) it doesn't help others either, since even if your special cocktail ends up working for you it will most likely not work for others.

I would focus on making tnf-a blockers cheaper, probably by circumventing or straight out ignoring the patents. This stuff is not rocket science anymore.

Have you researched the prices in other countries? Looks like in Europe its below 2k€ per month but more around 20k in the us? Whats the price in India?

Having worked in research on Crohn's this sounds wild. Why would you not take the biologics if you can afford them? Side effects? What you do is of high risk to yourself and of no value to others.

Shouldn't you do it the other way round? Set software volume to 90% and limit to safe levels with a good old potentiometer to be safe from any software issues?

Price, there are some fancy battery powered drills that detect the jerk via an accelerometer and reduce the power, but most drills don't have that. for example: https://www.boschtools.com/ca/en/more/news-and-extras/knowle...

For a continuous drilling operation the torque is totally fine, the problem is abrupt changes in torque because of something catching. On drills without this feature that's what the torque limiting clutch is for.

Steaming is not enough, you need to cook in water and remove the water (at least for spinach and kale).

> Food is the number one physical measurable input into our bodies.

This is the single reason why everyone focusses on food.

It is not the biggest lever you have on your health / wellbeing. It is the easiest variable to measure and to play with.

From the research it is quite clear that apart from gross errors what you eat does not really matter to any outcome. Quantity matters, but eating more can be compensated by excercising more.

I think we have it completely backwards, the killers are: depression, burn-out and so on.

Their symptoms are : no energy to change the situation, loneliness, no motivation to move, eating too much/too many calories ...

This in the end leads to all kinds of physical diseases.

Maybe starting with what we eat is a good first step to regain control, but it is certainly not the most important part of the puzzle.

Great, where do I sign up?

Looks like transflective screens were available in some Panasonic Toghbooks, the internet says CF-19 MK5-8

taxpayers money vs. sharehder money mostly

Why don't they just redo the analysis with a few other software packages?

Even if you do this the ad-people will claim that showing people ads repeatedly will make them buy your product eventually. Maybe when they actually need such a product. At this point you cannot connect the events anymore. This effect is probably weak but not falsifiable.

Oh I don't think anyone is confused about why this happens or why it's still worth it. The next step we need to take is to agree that it is unethical to steal many people's time for a little reward.

I have this suspicion that mobile ads have way weaker effect than claimed. No-one in adtech has any interest in finding out. Marketers don't want to lose budgets or importance either. So a lot of money is wasted on annoying people. How sad.

Was there really a time where HDDs were to slow for 40MB/s but we still had 400MB of RAM? Did I miss a factor of 2 because of the I/Q?
