Also, pedestrians and cyclists choose lesser traveled roads for safety. Granted you're talking huge roads but on a smaller scale, filling up neighborhood streets with commuter traffic is likely to provoke a backlash.
There's probably enough people taking wrong terms (such as me) to provide enough data. ;-)
From my point of view, nerds getting into the spotlight is great. Public recognition of good work is fine by me. It doesn't have to stem from sinister motivations or "incentives." But a generalization that science work…
Do LLMs have Qualia?
Oddly enough my experience is the opposite. I live in an academic town, and many of my neighbors are scientists. They view the "fame and glory" as something that maybe someone else has a chance of achieving, but not a…
Do you know any scientists? Disclosure: Physicist.
Perhaps related, I've read that Al-Khwarizmi's book on algebra [0] contained no equations or even any numerals. It was apparently a wall of text. My take is that you pretty much had to be a philosopher to make your way…
We don't know literally nothing. For instance we know which college majors are favored politically, and which ones are popular. /s Or we can survey high school students. They are probably closer to the reality of the…
So the jobs of the past will determine the funding of the future. This must be some new kind of economic planning. Wait, no it's not. It's how economic planning always worked. It's summed up by the saying "The generals…
Sure, and today, it's like if you can buy a house at all. Probably what makes the house less cluttered is that the elite class can afford to throw things away.
Indeed, I'm a musician and the acoustics of most modern commercial environments suck.
Here's the story that made sense to me: In the pre industrial age, visible ornamentation was symbolic of a craftsman's skill and attention to detail, when you couldn't inspect the invisible aspects of a product. For…
Maybe that's why Trump wants to take Greenland, and Canada, and looks up to Russia. Imagine foreign policy being distorted by the Mercator projection.
It missed the Toledo War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_War But to be fair, this is really cool.
Maybe there should be a saying for national economies: Amateurs talk about finance and IT, and professionals talk about resources and manufacturing.
In the US, professional licensure is left to the states, and most states have some form of licensing for engineers along with reciprocity for transferring a license from one state to another. Commonly, engineers have an…
With apologies to the above post if I'm wrong, I've seen it as a polite way of saying, "bullshit."
So I wonder, where are these giant black holes now? There should be some closer to us than at the edge of the universe, unless something happens to them.
What I've noticed is that the crimes of motorists, cyclists, and even pedestrians, are crimes of opportunity and convenience. In each case it's a matter of what's possible, offset by the chance of enforcement. Motorists…
Indeed, and in defense of Costco, you don't go there by bus or bike anyway because you'll be coming home with 200 pounds of stuff. Target is different for me. I hop in there for one or two odd things that I need,…
Put the entire building over 'em. And solar panels over the building. The Target near my house is built on top of its parking lot. I don't have to cross an entire parking lot, dodging traffic, when I go there by bike or…
The statistics still point towards being more concerned about cars.
I'm a cyclist, and I sympathize with you. Also, my mom is stone deaf, and I've observed her experiences on paths that are shared with cyclists. My town is one of the few places where cyclists are allowed on the…
>>> CAD systems did not replace engineers. It did replace draftsmen and designers, and changed the work that the engineers do. It's now more efficient to let engineers be their own draftsmen and designers. And design…
Not a bad idea, just a cog track that the robot grabs onto. I'd install one.
