Can never get enough of frozen barren islands too far north.

When an article title is a question, the answer is always no.

Just like my farts!

I was interested in the surprising behavior, not quoted above.

Everyone, including Heuer, expected the buffalo to lope to the river bottoms where the fattest grasses grew. But within hours they had climbed to the high ridges where the wallows of their ancestors still sculptured the ground.

In heading to the high ground, the bison contradicted something wildlife technicians call natal habitat preference induction, or NHPI.

There is also some discussion about how they didn't look for an environment similar to the one in which they were born and raised.

PBM? Peanut butter and marmalade?

This conversation would have been with normies.

Other scientists would be like "What type of almond? Also we need peer review!"

Tell that to my cat!

The cloud is just somebody else's computer!

I'm glad you could grip the meaning of my comment!

It probably has some nice bouldering problems to try!

Yup! PBS Spacetime has a nice video on quasi-particles, and how they are pretty much as "real" as protons and neutrons!

I heard that Fukushima was problematic because non-engineers thought it would be easier cheaper?) to put some of the critical infrastructure near the sea rather than on the hill...

Coal power plants release more radioactive waste in the environment than nuclear stations.

I'm not sure if this statistics includes meltdowns, but considering their rarity, it may still be true.

To be honest, every large power generation systems is critical is a war setting.... Don't tell them about hydro dams!

With AMOC disruption, it's gonna sell in Europe

On a world where everybody is effraid of nuclear power, station safety is really overboard, and nuclear is super safe.

If everyone accepted nuclear power the same way we accept cars, then you can be sure capitalism would cut corners on nuclear safety...

If we use hot peppers to stimulate the nerve endings sensitive to "hot", then we can probably cool down the chocolate such that it has the desired viscosity.

Melted hot pepper chocolate with orange coloring, that would sell!

It's hard to make a good weather forecast tool without theoretical elements incorporated in it.

I'm sure the model produces higher accuracy results on historical data. I read the abstract and it's not mentioned if they tested it on new data.

With ml, the most difficult part of the work is making sure not to overfit historical data. Is target have a less accurate model (on the training data) than a model that can be justified using theoretical reasoning. This way, I can be much more confident that it will work in the long run.

Let's see where this will go in the coming years!

I kept seeing this pop up recently, and I finally understand it: it's an introductory problem in Lorentzian general relativity.

AB is a space-like line, while AC is a time-like line. Typically, we would write AC as having distance of 1, but with a metric such that squaring it would produce a negative result. However it's similar to multiplying i to the value.

BC has a distance of 0, but a better way of naming this line would be that it has a null interval, meaning that light would travel following this line and experience no distance nor time going by.

I'm sure PBS Spacetime would explain all of this better than me. I just woke up and can't bother searching for the correct words on my phone.
