    Geometry: Similar Shapes

    A jocular note: I didn't know that "similar" was a mathematical term. Proportional would have appropriate. Unless the intended effect was to turn Thales on his grave with this much ado about nothing.

    I Question about force from a torque arm extension

    Maybe my brain got an update without me knowing it?

    Is AI hype?

    [Mentors’ note: This post has been edited to remove some unnecessary rudeness] Couldn't disagree more. I was arkund when hand held calculators did not exist... A - well ... mathematicians and calculators have indeed relative relation, so the premise was false for starters B - 85% of people all...

    B Why do sails on a boat generate lift perpendicular to the sails?

    Eventually all pressure force (not lift) it's decomposed into 2 forces: one (wasted) pushing the water perpendicular to the plane of the rudder and the other pushing the boat in the direction of its plane. Skilled navegation consists in maximizing the force used into movement minimizing the one...

    I Question about force from a torque arm extension

    You are mixing up torque (then bigger C produces more torque) with pressure (compression). See sketch. You need the following (or SIMILAR) if you want to apply more VERTICAL pressure on the SCALE. Then the more length you give to C the more pressure you apply. Note the blue dot must be fixed...

    Draining batteries into fewer batteries

    Wrong focus I think. Focus should be on recycling not wasting time and money on inmaterial "savings". The collar is worth more than the dog...

    Is AI hype?

    Here go my philosophical thoughts / answers which when analized are, basically, the same: The existential threat has always being WITHIN humans. 1 - humans can "do" less and less every decade and generation so we are getting closer from our end than the AI's to say yes to this question. 2 -...
