Promoting good habits is good but this is health advice from an unlicensed commenter to say rice and beans is better than taking a statin. Consult your doctor if you’re curious what to do.
You right. You don't need statins. Nobody does. But look at the statistics. You might also drop dead tomorrow. It's hard to know. If you think eating and exercising would solve heart disease, you are mis-informed. It's the number one killer. If we all died at 30, the drugs would not need to exist. I'm sure you would like to live as long as you can. Taking statins is cheap and simple for most people.
Is that a moon? No, that's your survivorship bias!
Jokes aside, congratulations on slipping and falling up the summit, collecting not a single bruise to your ego or soul along the way. I am genuinely happy for you.
Every day I am shocked that books in the public domain on Kindle don't have X-Ray enabled. I am unable to find a copy of War and Peace for instance with X-Ray so I can keep track of all the characters and places. I'm not saying the world isn't going to shit but AI can help fill in feature gaps that the big-box developers have not bothered with.
I saw the ToC request as a demo of the capabilities, not a statement on the full value proposition. There are a LOT of valuable features in here that are not offered in Kindle or other ebook readers.
From videos online so far, it seems the strength of the quake didn't translate to massive lateral movement. There seemed to be lots of intense P-wave wiggling and bumping rather than large S-wave swings back and forth. The big Japan quake was one of those, where you saw offices being slid back and forth and everything flying off shelves.
Not sure what that means for the tsunami - but so far it seems less intense than the 8.8 would imply.
Japan uses a scale that measures the movement[0]. Of course depending on where you are the result changes, but it's a lot more usable for the practical "how much shaking will be involved here/was involved here".
The first list on that page is specifically for the deadliest earthquakes, and so it only includes earthquakes with 100,000+ fatalities. The ranking by magnitude is farther down (and according to that list, a magnitude of 8.8 would make it tied for sixth place).
Multiple lists. On the list of strongest by magnitude, it would be in a three-way tie for 7th if there's no further revision to the magnitude estimate (which there usually is). It would be second by magnitude on the list of deadliest earthquakes, but thankfully due to location will not likely make that list.
You are directionally correct but the top of the line chisels are in fact hand made in Japan and I suspect the same for knives. Lee Valley and some other higher end manufacturers make some damn fine chisels but chisels are hand tools and I would guess 9/10 woodworkers who use chisels will choose hand made Japanese chisels over any factory manufactured tools.
Isn’t the main thing that makes a chisel better or worse the material quality, such that regardless of whether it is hand made or factory made, the chisel made of superior material is better?
Selection of metal, lamination, presence of a ura (裏), handle material, the ability to make a new handle and attach it to the original metal. A metal chosen for an extreme sharpness may be terribly difficult to sharpen, a metal easy to sharpen may not hold an edge for long.
You didn't read the article, it _specifically_ mentions JPL's proposal for the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope concept "nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J.P.L.) is also exploring the idea of a radio-wave detector, the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (L.C.R.T.), inside a 1.3-kilometre-wide moon crater."
That's a much simpler project. It's deployment, not construction. Two metric tons of mesh have to be soft landed at the bottom of the crater. Then mobile robots pull it open into a large dish.[1] There's a cheaper approach where the mesh is pulled open by weights shot out from the central lander. Cost estimates are in the US$1 billion to US$10 billion range, most of which is shipping cost to Luna Farside.
If you don't see the contradiction in JPL having an active research project to put a radio telescope on the moon and your original statement then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
From the article: "FarView would comprise a hundred thousand metal antennas made on-site by autonomous robots. It would cover a Baltimore-size swath of the moon." That's way beyond anything possible today. What JPL proposes is just packing up a big thing tightly and unpacking it at the destination. Space projects have been doing that for decades.
When someone assembles a solar farm in the desert with no humans on site, we can talk about doing something like that on Luna.
You are right! LLMs accept the formulas and may explain them...
It will be more difficult to tell when they are wrong, though - when you cannot verify directly. But it will be a device for people to get acquainted with the math.
Be that as it may, this isn't what I'd call a "tutorial," in the sense that you'd better already have a strong command of the subject matter or you won't get much out of it.
