It's wild to imagine but 100% believable to think that the US Navy already has technology to defeat a large mass of cheap weaponized drones. And even more entertaining if it's lasers.
I've noticed that decisions like this are sometimes made for the sake of being the opposite of something else and then the two coexist decades within neighboring realms to the frustration and bafflement of users.
He presumably killed himself after being exposed as a fraud. It's weird to me because malpractice is such a heavy thing in the US, but I don't think it extends into falsified research. Can a nation sue a researcher in another country because they funded studies based on their falsified data?
Yeah this is a case of someone on daytime television shows talking about dieting. There are plenty of fake doctors making claims in this realm. The scary part is the acceptance of fake science into the general public and especially it being perpetuated heavily by a large part of our political system.
Which similar to images we see of space where they have altered detectors' responses from different wavelengths of light to be images in the visible spectrum. So we produce beautiful images, but they aren't accurate to what space would look like to the naked eye.
I initially started learning to code in middle school with QBasic around 1999. I'm 30 now so we were around the same age when we started discovering programming. Anyways, I stole my high-school brother's geometry book to learn about sines and cosines so I could make things move in a circle.
Especially, if you have complex systems where discretization and linearization aren't computationally achievable and/or numerically accurate ... like predicting global weather patterns or even very small experiments. I think about the phrase: All models are wrong; some models are useful.
Nice thing on windows is I can open the command line type >bash and I've got vim, ssh, sftp, bash whatever immediately. I still don't use that because other telnet, x-window setups are better for me. I never found out how to be productive in OSX vs what I can do in Windows.
This article has to be garbage if a math professor hadn't heard of Fourier transforms until reading a book about sound and math. Maybe I'm coming from an engineering background but it's a very basic concept that I learned to use to break down sound in a general freshman year engineering class.
It probably also depends on funding they have received from places like the Department of Energy and contracts they have signed for their research being publicly available, but if Paul Allen is the funding and not the government maybe it's all private. My own naivety would say billionaires investing in clean technology would share it with the world, but who knows?
Probably gamma ray spectroscopy which measures the energy of gamma rays in the cloud. When radioactive particles decay, they emit gamma rays at very specific energies so it would give us an understanding of the yield of the bomb and other important things for designing better weapons.
From loosely following chess over the past year it seems they normally play a random pool and whoever has the best score at the end wins the tournament.
It's not that the regulations are ill-intentioned but currently they are preventing safer technologies from being implemented because it costs billions of dollars to get technologies licensed properly.
