that's all I got

A friend had a cat named Boomerang.

This isn't exactly true, nor do I think it's applicable to LLMs/AI. Typical engineering systems are supposed to be deterministic. We...

I assume that the pipe is supposed to drain under gravity. Based on the idea that the less time the water spends in the pipe the less...

For practical problems such as this, I would recommend you look at fluid flow textbook for mechanical engineers. EDIT: do a search on...

Yes, I've seen some videos of the derailment. Pretty stunning. The locomotives stayed on the trestle. I hadn't seen that video, but I...

TIL that some railroad companies use "road slugs" -- locomotives without diesel engines. The road slug relies on the generator of its...
