My understanding is that CH4 breakdown in the atmosphere isn’t a matter of exponential decay either but is (or could become) rate limited by OH radical availability. Such that the half life increases as more is in the atmosphere and it’s po

There are already non-self-driving cars that get speed limits from signs. I’ve seen that feature in a Honda for example. I imagine you’d have multiple sources like a max speed for that type of road as a fallback. And you need to read speed

They have somewhat different amounts of sugars by volume since the fat is removed, but they don’t have added sugar. The caloric fraction from sugar will be much higher though, maybe that’s what you’re reading?

Not a sphere, we know that can’t happen due to the topological constraint you brought up. Instead picture a float plane tiled by equilateral triangles. Now mark each vertex as either low, middle, or high such that every triangle has one of

You stimulated out the situation where Monty Hall always picks the door without the prize. That’s exactly the standard Monty Hall problem. Change your code to instead allow him to choose the prize door (but never the player’s door). Then co

Pedantry: it doesn’t have to be flat - for example a triangulated parabola could also have that configuration. You only get a topological result from just knowing edge and vertex counts. Now if the triangles are identical equilateral then y

It’s not the same. Try stimulating it out if my argument above didn’t convince you. WLOG if you pick door 0 out of 0,1,2 and host picks door 1 always, then the the relevant value is in numpy: correct = numpy.random.choice(3, 10000) (correct

This is what I thought at first but simulating it out, it’s not true. The strategy of switching doors works 2/3rds of the time but only if you allow picking the opened door (when it has the prize). That’s easy to see since it works whe

And further if these people were apparently also telling voters who to vote for, then they must have had all the election officials there in on it. Supporting a candidate like that is absolutely not allowed for the poll workers so this was

I was a machine operator in the 2020 election in Philadelphia. It’s as you describe, everyone there (4-6 people) have to sign off at the end of the night on the totals. Two people are specifically one from each of the major parties, so it s

This already exists in some fields though. Gene expression sequencing data is almost universally made public through the Gene Expression Omnibus website, and that’s quite storage intensive. It’s used since regulators and journals require it

That’s just what it shows after rounding up. The site correctly doesn’t let you enter 1c for velocity since it’s not possible.

As measured relative to the destination, yes, but if so then that means the passengers get crushed under infinite gs.

It makes sense that it would have weird connections but the big claim here is that it outputs those connections as rendered text despite failing to output actual text is was trained on and prompted with. That sounds very unexpected to me an

Since you’re not aware, a very common reason to talk in public is to gain something from one’s talking. The situation at hand looks a lot like that, and in particular gaining something at the expense of someone else in this case. If every S

That’s only the case if there are only two articles. In general you’d be looking at the difference of two order statistics (of the uniform distribution). You could probably approximate this quite well as a Poisson process though (since ther

Can someone elaborate on the meaning of the "Recursion is not an option" quote?

Good news! It’s been years since most government funding sources have required research they fund to be open access. The NSF has required this since 2016 and the NIH since 2008. The bad news is that journals charge incredible fees to resear

So how embarrassed should I be for using Vue for small, static websites? I made a results page for some data my colleagues and I processed and there’sa bunch of categories. So there’s a selector and you pick one and Vue updates the page to

The actual volume stated in the article puts it at more like 0.51 cubic km (18 billion cubic feet), FYI.

The numbers from that article are just completely wrong. 32x bigger in volume would be just 3.2x the linear dimensions of the Great Pyramid. The volume numbers in the article are actually about 200x the Great Pyramid's volume (per Wiki

I’m also skeptical of the approach here but for the opposite reason. ML will conquer proofs by an AlphaZero approach of ignoring all human training data. You can generate arbitrary problems easily enough and doing some GAN like system of bo

On the contrary, R packaging system is too broken for R to be reliably reproducible. No one specifies package versions or R versions. Base R has no way to install a specific version of a package. There’s a package that lets you do that, but

I don’t see that as relevant to my points. My main point is that an officer can easily abuse this law due to asymmetric information/outcome despite the limits in the text. The officers that would do this are exactly the ones that need

I’m shocked at the support for this here. It doesn’t matter that it only applies to within 8 feet and if it’s an interaction with someone else. No one should have to know a law about whether they can record police or not. What are you going

Someone believing either the 2016 or 2020 US elections were “stolen” in any meaningful sense of the word would be under a similar level of propaganda to someone thinking that the Russian invasion is to stop Ukrainians killing each other, ye

I think you’re confusing sets with another concept. I don’t know much about those other languages you list but I believe python’s typing.Union is more similar to what you list. Sets are just unordered data collections with unique elements.

I’m studying too mostly on my own for about 2.5 years. I can read a most characters I see in the wild, though that still leaves enough that understanding the text is hard or impossible. OverallI find reading much easier to study than listen
