It would all make more sense if whole milk was just called 3% milk or something.

Hardware recommendations are here: Hardware Recs. Basically any integrated graphics chip that supports WebGL 2.0 will work. You definitely don't need a dedicated graphics card like a RTX5050.

Grade inflation is a problem everywhere : https://www.gradeinflation.com/ Personally, I think it's detrimental for students sense of accomplishment and understanding of the material being taught, but as long as grad schools and medical schools use GPA as the primary filter there will be this...

Don't post any Zenodo links. If you get it published you can post and discuss.

Huh, this is just untrue. Works are published and peer reviewed to add to the body of human knowledge. Also, arxiv is a repository, not a publication.

That's not what the forum is for.

When you let AI write your question for you it just becomes muddy about what you're actually trying to ask or what you really understand.

Did you have any luck this cycle?

How did it go? Was the funding situation as bad as I had been led to believe?

Did it? I was under the assumption that parts of the system interacting with each other doesn't break the symmetry of the whole. If the rules respect the symmetry, the overall state keeps respecting it too, no matter how messy the internal dynamics get. Entanglement and correlations can make...

I'm like 95% sure this is AI slop. Anyway: Picture the whole universe as one perfectly reversible machine. Its state changes in a way that, in principle, you could run backward and recover exactly what it was before. A “symmetry” just means the machine doesn’t care if you relabel things in some...

MIT is on a 5.0 scale, so a 4.0 would be a straight B student! That's not really the point you're trying to make, but you can differentiate between students more than just GPA and "same research area interest in application". There are also letters of recommendation which are important. The...

Go to the school where you pay the least amount of money for your degree, within reason. At my university which is a "lower ranked" state R1, we have plenty of graduates who've gone to top programs at the University of Michigan, the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Arizona, the...

Spin is a quantum mechanical property. It's intrinsic angular momentum which isn't literally a classical rotation at all. Take an electron, it has spin but lacks any classical rotational degrees of freedom. Charge is the same, it's a quantum mechanical property. At the end of the day spin is...

Doubtful, there is just no economic reason to. All other exploration and colonization was generally tied to a solid economic thesis. If when we went to the moon in the 60's we discovered it was really a big ol ball of unobtanium and we could set up shop and send it back for a profit we would...
