Could you actually explain what you disagree with? In my opinion, everything in the comment you're replying to is obviously correct. If you're going somewhere where there is a chance you might get lost, injured or…
You've got that completely backwards. Correctly applying Bayes' theorem, if an anomaly is observed you incorporate the prior into the calculation of the posterior probability. You don't just give up and say "the prior…
You can look at the Wikipedia page on railway defect dectectors [0]. Under "rail break monitors" it mentions both electrical continuity and time-domain reflectometry can be used, and are most frequently used on…
That's not what "hot" means in this context. "Hot" means "highly radioactive", i.e. high number of decay events per second, high concentration of short half-life isotopes, high power/volume resulting from radioactive…

Your question is rather ambiguous. Do you mean using chemistry to develop new techniques or combine unusual ingredients to create food that has novel flavors or textures? That would fall under Molecular Gastronomy,…
Have you seen the presentation from GDC 2017 on the architecture of Overwatch [0]? If you watch the video in detail -- stepping through frame-by-frame at some points -- it provides a nearly complete schematic of the…
I'm not aware of anything quite like that, but most submarines have something like a Rescue Buoy [0], Submarine Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (SEPIRB) or Submarine Emergency Communications Transmitter…
Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure what the point of the 50 minute video is. Here's [0] the pdf of the report. It's really not that long. [0]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7RXrneHlzfjrewMFIeeyc-nel3...
It's a bit of a long read, but I think the best introduction is still this [0] and the comments were here [1]. Yes, it's presented in the context of rust and gamedev, but ECS isn't actually specific to a particular…

I actually think that it does a disservice to not go to Nazi allegory, because if I don't use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there is some critical understanding that I have left on the table; there is an…
The discussion near the end about how leadership taking responsibility can beneficially relieve accountability reminded me of the story of the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) [0]. [1]: > When NTDS was eventually…
Did you not read the paper? That's in there.
CNC Kitchen put out a great video on the practical use of silica gel. I especially found his exploration of different methods of drying to be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tHInlFfMcM
There's an excellent publicly released video made about an older test. It has some of the clearest footage of the actual reentries and impacts, and is also worth watching for the sheer 90s vibe of the production.…
This is a bit late, but I don't see any other answers that provide what I think is the key insight. The accounting equation is: Assets = Equity + Liabilities. For a transaction to be valid it needs to keep that equation…
That's not what "indiscriminate" means. Indiscriminate attacks are those [0]: (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective; (b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a…
You use radiation for cooling in space. That obeys the Stefan-Boltzmann law with power scaling with T^4 (so you want the radiators as hot as possible). You can use passive elements, like heat-pipes to move heat to the…
I tried this, and while I didn't have any difficulty establishing a stereoscopic view it didn't jump out for me at all. I perceived the blue line floating on top of the problem handhold, but the handhold seemed to be on…
I'm pretty sure I saw it mentioned that if the source and destination are Starlink dishes then packets will be routed by the satellites directly to the destination dish without going through any ground stations. That…
Even more relevantly, Nitrogen is an anaesthetic. Even, apparently, at the partial pressure found in air [0]. [0]: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1130736/
Casey Handmer did a couple of excellent articles on this topic: - Space-based solar power is not a thing: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/08/20/space-based-so... - No really, space based solar power is not a…

Very dubious. Unfortunately there isn't a paper, this is being presented at a conference, so it's difficult to critique it. There was a similar study though published back in 2022: "Meal Skipping and Shorter Meal…
