Interesting. I get this after a conference with exciting discussions, or a run of lab work with some real breakthroughs in understanding.

Difficult time for reasoning. Someone on here "confirmed" the definition of a common word I had provided, using an LLM. They're seen by some as authoritative.

(2/2) (*US Federal research) Now the bill reauthorizing this program seems ready to pass:

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) are programs that steer a small % of federal research $ to competitive grants and contracts. It has been around since the 1980s, but was on hold for the last 5 months. (1/2)

In the graphic the word used is "radiation", which surely predates the term "radioactivity"?

Way better origin story, honestly.

"The average level of radon in Colorado homes is 6.4pCi/L. It is equivalent to having 200 chest X-rays each year."

Not such a useful comparison. One CT scan is 60-70x the dose of a chest x-ray, for example.

Because it was there. I hope she got down safely.

When I finally get a new thing to work after weeks (sometimes months) of failing; to see the clear results and know it will work again. The best feeling and the best sleep after.

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>

What is a “good day” in the lab?

I’m looking for epic examples of the best day ever to general criteria for what constitutes a “good day” compared to a nothing-burger day.

Ping me if you have examples to share!

Re-posts appreciated!

Neat experiment! Original paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I was a little surprised they use a dye laser. The wavelength they are using to detect Li is well within the range for a Ti:sapph.

We do hardware. I've been involved in product launches, tradeshows, ad campaigns all of that. Before I had control, it was frustrating to deal with deciders who wouldn't spend a penny on swag, considering it a "waste". 🤦🏽‍♂️

The 2nd paragraph is pure marketing wisdom. "The stupid thing sells the smart thing." Perfect.

Yay! I hope they enjoyed it.
Grew up near KSC. It was a little strange moving away and realizing people couldn't just go outside and look up to watch a launch, if they even knew one was happening.

Loved perusing them in the store, but my limited funds usually went to Omni or Byte.

Good one!! Reminds me of one I used to do for Chem lectures: big clear water container, a can each of diet and regular coke. Diet floats and regular sinks.

Got a superauto, which saves on both money and disappointment at getting bad espresso shots. Some favorite bean brands are Harbinger in Colorado or Dark Matter in Chicago.

How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.

Does ‘forest bathing’ improve health? Or does it just offer people a break from urban sources of harm? This article is part of our Nature Outlook: Lung Health. 🧪 🌍

The question has to be "what is Common Sense?"

Thomas Paine apparently claimed that there were 120,000 copies of it sold in 3 months.

It's not often that I see a science paper and actually say "NO WAY!!" out loud.

If real seems like a good metric to use with Tesla. High smoke:fire ratio.

I am more sanguine about Hyundai scaling robotics than Tesla bc of exactly that partnership. Note Hyundai is not ramping down vehicle production.

Sure, anyone doing this has to solve how to manufacture those DOFs. Tesla's strength will be in batteries, not so much the mechanics.

But even simple robots have far more degrees of freedom than autos. Autos are extremely simple in terms of motion dynamics, and problems like compliance have been solved. Making a functional, useful robot requires system integration over a wide range (mm to meters).

Extraordinary! Love the perspective.

It's been frustrating for 20 years to see "tech news" in the press = social networks, phone apps, and blockchain, while genuinely incredible breakthroughs are relegated to some combination of health and wellness and science pages, with far less coverage.
