This is a surprising and fascinating discovery. The scale of such events is mind bending.
Once again an excellent deep dive... We're getting into the physics of biking, and there are some surprises along the way! In any case this is fascinating all the thinking which went into such an object, the wheels alone are a very clever system.
The lack of transparency is staggering... this is purely about hype and at that point they're not making any effort to push science forward anymore.
Very import milestone for brain mapping. Far from more complex animals of course and an insane amount of work each time. Still the common fruit fly is already revealing interesting new facts about neurology.
Lengthy but thorough. The evidences are now getting much clearer. Admittedly, the most worrying bit I find is that getting off the social media wagon might not help the impacted people to get better... indeed they might still be isolated if everyone else is still trapped on social media.
Really amazing pictures! All this life we usually can't see with our own eye.
Finally, we have an idea of why we get ideas in "strange" moments. Fascinating stuff.
No really... ants are scary!
Interesting food for thought. Not necessarily easy to see it used in as many fields as the article claims. Maybe a bit too much on the techno solutionist side at times. Still, that sounds like an interesting guideline and path to explore.
Oh that looks really cool... will need quite some time to go through this though.
Planting trees to help, sure. Let's do it properly though, sometimes that means just getting out of the way.
Again a very nice interactive article. This time about sound, very thorough. Reminded me some of the things I learned at school (but then forgot) a long time ago.
I agree, I don't get why Wikipedia gets bad reputation in school. I'm dismayed at then whatever bogus argument they have being used to push for using Google instead... it's like, back in the days, asking pupils to not use the encyclopedia they maybe had at home and walk into the nearby pub to find information.
We often forget how much of a problem it used to be.
Good points of the problem with nudge backed "policies"... they're pretty completely avoiding to address the difficult political questions.
OK... I think it's the best animation I've ever seen on that particular topic. Very well done!
Ever wondered about the details of a mechanical watch? Here is an excellent primer. Lots of attention to details.
Very interesting debunk of the Dunning-Kruger effect. This is welcome since I see it pervasively cited. Also comes with a few interesting facts introduced by the papers which critiqued it first.
Excellent deep dive in how GPS works. It goes all the way down to the signal processing. It's really nice to see how many layers of complexity this technology carries.
A good reminder on how science and politics are more intertwined than we'd like to believe. It also shows why trying to have politics determined only by science brings its own set of biases in itself and can only lead to killing any form of debate or compromises.
