Re: asymmetric brownian motion

Interesting! I wonder if different colloidal substance would show greater or lesser asymmetry.  Might a more or less polar solvent affect the results?  Might the particular elements or particular isotopes of the colloidal substance affect the results? I tried a handful off colloidal at my shelf whi...

Re: Your rants here

2nd day. Still no clue of an improvement from the model 6. What is an Isuck? Iphone, I thought you were an Apple fan?? I am a customer but less of a fan than I was before. At this point, they suck less than the alternatives. I have mostly liked my iPhones (I've owned the 3, 4S, and now have an X) b...

Re: Your rants here

I had to "upgrade" to the Isuck8. The damn thing is even heavier than the 6. Raging!

Re: Extreme Weather

baseball-sized hail in June. Global cooling is all too real
Actually, more severe hail storms are driven by more severe convention currents which are driven by more severe heating.

Re: If you are bored with Deep Networks

I do, but you should try harder if you want to make an impression that you know something about science and scientific thinking.
The same could be said of you, unfortunately. :(

Re: If you are bored with Deep Networks

1963... There are so many accompanying factors present in such studies that they are practically useless. We have better, non-invasive (which is important for the study conclusiveness) techniques these days.
LOL! You know that people did successfully do science before you were born.

Re: If you are bored with Deep Networks

There is much we don't know about how humans and animals learn to see.  But it is clear that they fail to learn to see if only exposed to disembodied snapshots the way current AI systems are.  Even streaming imagery is insufficient.  Interacting with the world, moving through it, reaching out and t...
