  • The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways. Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar. We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.

Science: "Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."

I don’t think so either. It’s cool, but fusion and CERN shit will always be the tier 1A stuff for me until we have a sustainable net positive reaction.

Which, if memory serves, the wife of one of the participants in this discussion had a role in for a while?
 
Holy shit.

MIT has built a camera so fast it can capture light itself.

The camera records at 1 trillion frames per second, allowing scientists to slow down the fastest thing in the universe and watch it move through a scene.

You can actually see light reflect off the floor, pass through fruit, and create shadows with a delay.

So what happens when they exceed the frame rate at which light travels a Planck length (6.29921e-34 inches if you're scoring at home)? Is there no difference between each pair of frames? Does the light disappear in one of them? Does it realize you are observing and pull your ears?

Well, first the light has to travel half of the Planck length, then half of what's left, then half of that.....

In case anyone was as curious as I, in one "156 trillionth" of a second, light travels 0.0192 millimeters, or 0.0000757 inches. If you slowed that video down to 60 frames per second, it would take 3.5 minutes to watch the light travel one inch. Now that's slow-mo!

iPhone feature when???
 
I will say this, there have been a few AI features that have been useful. The image touch up feature has been really nice. I’m reading really good preliminary reviews on the new Alexa which is heavily reliant on AI. Much more capable because you can just use natural language and it understands. As opposed to having to craft your statements to fit the model.

But the predictive text stuff on the phones has been annoying as hell. Terrible stuff.
 
I just want voice to text that isn't limited to a normie's vocabulary and sentence structure. Jesus fuck, the phone treats me like I went to a state school.
 
This is neat.

To test the gyroid, he glued the plastic-resin one he had 3D-printed onto the trailing edge of a steel blade and ran experiments in a small-scale tunnel. The result was zero vortex formation—and therefore no vortex-induced vibration.

"This particular shape nips vortex formation in the bud!" says Farhat. "And it doesn't alter the blade's performance." Berger made his discovery by combining mathematics with coding and 3D computer modeling.
