  • In money you can work in cents and round fractions to whole cents in someone's favour depending on policy for example my home accounting program rounds divided amounts up in transfers to the various accounts. It's pretty good right now with a can't being such an insignificant value.

  • Sure, but there's no indication any gods do exist, so what's your point?

  • If you consider light in motion as a wave (as it is in EM models and I think also in current mainstream physics) then you can't expect it to work like matter. The speed of light is the speed at which EM waves propagate. Causality is the same because many interactions are mediated by exchange of photons via EM waves.

    The speed of light in aluminium is ~0.95c, the EM waves in an aluminium antenna aren't going to interact outside the aluminium faster than 0.95c. I would bet the effective speed of causality would never be greater than the speed of light in whatever medium the light is in

  • In radio electronics we abbreviate c to 300 000km/s (when working in kHz, different multipliers in other bands for easy maths). The number as it is is round enough when rounded to the whole hundred million for practical purposes with commodity hardware

    We could redefine the metre to be 1.00069229...x it's current size (increase it by 0.69229...mm) to make the speed of light exactly 300 000 000ms-1. This would also change area and volume, and any other units that are derived from length

  • Little c for speed of light in vacuum

  • Remember that light in motion is electric and magnetic fields pushing and pulling each other along. Why that speed? Because it takes time for an electric field to create a magnetic field and vice versa

    Our equations for EM waves (Maxwell's equations) predict light speed, and the same equations would predict c in any system, so long as reasonable values for the variables are known in that system

    So 300 000 000 m/s isn't going to be a reasonable approximation of the speed of light in vacuum, but any alien that one about radio would probably have Maxwell's equations under some other name

  • On Wiktionary noun definition 4 for bug includes worm. It's an ancient word that has a variety of meanings, only one of which is the scientific definition. Does bug spray only kill insects in hemiptera? I thought it was mostly used on flies.

  • From Wikipedia:

    First attested in this form around 1620 (referring to a “bedbug”), from earlier bugge (“beetle”), from Middle English bugge (“scarecrow, hobgoblin”)

    No way did it initially mean hemiptera, and it is awfully broad now, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bug noun def 4

  • Worms are bugs too. The word is incredibly broad. Just because science uses it narrowly doesn't make bug a word with a narrow meaning. Most of us aren't entomologists

  • The problem most people have is the move that is impossible in a 3d Kline bottle - after you emerge from the orifice in the bottom you move onto the funnel, then into the bottle. You can only do that in 4d - or in experiential snapshots as you did. I'm sure there are animations that do it justice, but they would need to be 3d to do it well - it's hard to accurately represent 4d in 2d

  • PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking

    Jump

  • I think Bambu have their own solution and since they don't want their users using other brand filament they would be nuts to support an open standard

  • PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking

    Jump

  • You obviously need to ID the spools and store values for all, the different hub weights aren't a big issue if the printer knows the length of its filament path, how much filament the spool started with, and how much filament has been consumed it can work out the hub weight

    Regularly changing filament fixes the problem of the load cell drifting, by allowing it to zero occasionally

    You could warn on low filament, or not enough for this print, but load cells aren't accurate enough to be certain about the last few metres, along with errors from cosmetic trimmed before feeding, or some is damaged and cut off, so I would still use the normal no filament sensors for stopping

    Not saying it's worth it compared to a software solution in the slicer

  • I always thought it was suspect that everything big and tasty, and everything dangerous died out due to climate change right at the exact moment that well armed humans arrived, while all the less dangerous and less tasty animals survived the climate change

    Australia's swamp monster diprotodon (very like a hippo) died out coincidentally as modern humans arrived — thousands of years away from when climate change killed mammoths and smilodon when h. sap turned up

    I'm not surprised to see that paper
