  1. The dimensions don't match. The unit of pressure is [force]/[length2], volume is [length3], g is [length]/[time2]. Multiply: [force]/[length2]x[length3]x[length]/[time2] = [force]x[length2]/[time2] which is not a force/buoyancy/upthrust. Sorry for that. Fixed.
  2. After encountering several different circles, we neglect features that vary.
  3. So, you have one example of a technology that arguably stabilized, and another one of a technology that has not. This doesn't seem to justify the conclusion, Moreover, I think there are other trajectories in addition to these two.
  4. When you draw a circle on a piece of paper with say a pencil, it also has a specific color, line width, graphite thickness, background color, electric conductivity, temperature, etc. We are capable of ignoring all these. The same way, we are capable of ignoring its size as well, and of focusing on its geometric shape.
  5. This is OT, but where can I see the number of views?
  6. There is a selection of the input, AFAIK. Not on the level of individual items though.
  7. The way these models work, they create their own falsehoods, called "hallucinations."
  8. Programming is easy. To learn programming is easy. Start with any available language. I hear that Python is quite popular among scientists and mathematicians. But it really doesn't matter much. Eventually you learn and use programming languages as needed.

    Why? What is wrong with a dictionary definition?
  10. That circle in mind has a size, but it does not have a specific size. Otherwise, can you specify its size?
  11. If the currents are such that the force is not sufficient to hold the superconductor in place (levitating), the superconductor will start falling into the field. This will cause the currents to strengthen ... etc. until the forces balance. -- ?
  12. Perhaps the eddy currents are generated when the superconductor first placed into the field or when the field is turned on. After that they just keep running because of the superconductivity.
  13. But the OP is your proposed reading list, IIUC. Aside from being influenced and being a continuation, did Freud develop / write anything philosophical? Or do you rather consider the psychoanalysis a philosophy?
  14. Freud, Sigmund? Was he a philosopher?

    Both "Lennon" and "Groucho" sound dull and boring, and talking in clichés in this fake debate, IMO.
  16. I would like to do the same but there are so many potential hazards in doing so. There are plenty exotic environments on Earth to visit and to explore.

    Do the chemists here know about this researcher? What do professional scientists here think about this story? etc. One of the world’s most cited scientists, Rafael Luque, suspended without pay for 13 years | Science & Tech | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)
  18. Better not.
  19. It appears to be real: Italy’s ChatGPT Ban, A Precedent For The Rest Of Europe? (forbes.com)
  20. Or by wiping out the humanity. Among many other possibilities. You have dismissed my two wishes.
  21. Sure, it's possible. In this case, I have to admit that I fell for it. * I think it is rather a bump on the road. They will find a way around. * Maybe the chatbot wrote the article.
