I just don't see how the fuel costs of getting things up to space winning out unless production is located up there. especially since rocket launches tend to be extremely static. More dangerously, I think that would…
I think this is a step forward, but I think it is better to think of access in terms of what responsibilities a person or group has. When new access is to be given, it should be framed in the context of what new…
I found this little pocket mathematics notation book when I first studying undergrad in this used book store in Boston. it literally carried me through Calc, Linalg, stats, dynamic programming, stochastic processes,…
RIP Academia as a whole
reddit had a nice list of the pros and cons: https://www.reddit.com/r/NuclearPower/comments/17k0wcc/natri... I understand the risks around sodium, but the "passive natural circulation cooling" I don't understand. Is it…
probably anecdotal, but I live in a new apartment building <2 years old. near CONSTANT elevator issues. 1-2 of the 3 elevators are out at a time. its been this way for a year. can't wait for my lease to end.
this isn't even a software things. Its any production process. The greater amount of work in progress items, the longer the work in progress items, the greater risk, the greater amount of work. Shrink the batch, shorten…
This is a standard technology company strategy. Isolate your customers, remove their options, markup the price.
Governments pay to keep food at the cheapest point possible to ensure stability. a fed population doesn't kill their governments. Agriculture is not a regular industry; its a national security issue Farming is not a…
a combined tax and subsidy to try to drive farmers into more sustainable practices in a fiscally neutral way isn't a bad idea, but I think it is just a very risky and necessary roll of the dice. I think inevitably,…
I am very conflicted on a carbon tax for the agriculture industry. It is going to sidle a cost to an industry of razor thin margins. The transition from regenerative agriculture is expensive & rising food costs has a…
package.json does not capture all the technologies in a repository. just the JS ones. This seems to capture full stack technologies. This would be very helpful when evaluating existing projects either as a consultant,…
I would perfect my video gaming art. Teenagers in their basement would fear me after school.
it seems to be Easy Task + increasing audience = doesn't really do much. and Difficult Task + increasing audience = improved performance which makes sense to me. 1 person is a distraction. a group of people is an…
per day though. I think others are right that it has applications in space. going with the butter example, 5 people on a year long mission is almost 11kg you don't have to bring up to space. on an environmental…
I have this little book that I cannot find right now that is pretty explicitly that. just a little math symbol dictionary. its small enough to fit in a pocket and was invaluable all through college.
hey this might be a stupid detail in implementation, but if the poisson simulation of arrival and completion are started cold, then random assignment of events could assign a completion before an arrival, or there could…
you go to school for it. Stats, applied mathematics, operations research, industrial engineering. I went for industrial engineering. we learned the math as pure math, then the math as free language problems, then how to…
I feel like any solution that replaces excel must solve a larger problem outside the scope of the spreadsheet. Data intake, preprocessing, solving performance limitations, executing automated decisions. If it’s just a…
I have a colleague in tech over there on the product side. They do a ton of very interesting work: https://open.nytimes.com/ They have a much higher bar for quality and boutique solutions than almost any organizations.

my family has been getting into this very seriously in the last few years. There are several very serious challenges to the adoption of regenerative farming. 1. most farmers are stubborn and OLD 2. most of the…
the simple basic reality of statistics, a binomial distribution. 5 independent systems with 90% chance of success is mathematically as reliable as one that is 99.999%. 100x 90% systems would get you to 100 "9s" of…
what a tragedy, this person never learned how to read.
