Fly with Magnar: Why are so many pilots wrong about Bernoulli’s Principle? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyRx25MSWng @woodpile66 Most folks here seem to say that low pressure exists because the flow speeds up, but that group does not account for why the flow sped up in the first place, or the mandatory physics. I offer that the wing

Prof Van Buren: Intro to compressible flow [Aerodynamics #17] at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDSgUTgcMXg Bad handwriting, use a computer. There are about 5.4 Billion people using the Internet now. Step up your presentations to match, not down to a hypothetical or organization driven “captive class room”. Your visualization are decent, but lack substantially because your drawing skills are

Roger Grosse @RogerGrosse Amortized variational inference is neither amortized nor variational nor inference. x.com/jpillowtime/st… Jonathan Pillow @jpillowtime Amortize means to “to pay off a debt with regular payments” But in amortized inference you pay a big up-front cost to train an inference network, then inference is cheap per datapoint. Isn’t that the opposite of amortization?

All human languages, all domains, all places, all devices – global open resources for all humans Computer memory and processors changed the face of human navigation in cities, so too can it change the face of navigation through fragmented and Byzantine sets of rules for every discipline and topic. It is not only memory devices

Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation: This is a bit of an odd question, but I mean it seriously. What would people think of “Olympic war games”? Rather than ad hoc wars and armed conflicts like Israal Palestine, or Ukraine Russia, or dozens of countries having armed conflicts. Suppose wars were supervised and controlled. Part of

Military Affairs: US Tests Its Monstrously Powerful Laser Carrier To Beat Hypersonic Missiles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmN23S8GmWk For SpaceX type earth to orbit and orbit to earth field generators, many modular 2 GigaWatt units only have to store and deliver for a few minutes, so they can be small and if some fail, sufficient backup is available.

Dear SETI, Looking at the whole Internet, and the potential of true AIs to allow systems to essentially live forever, I realized that exploration and development of galaxies is likely the norm, not the exception in the universe. An evolved natural lifeform might well develop systems that record all knowledge and process it. The system
