    ChatGPT policy

    So I had recently played with ChatGPT. I started the thread about using so-called "cheek microphones" on musical theater productions. ChatGPT replied that these mics become commonplace in Broadway, but it boils down to director's preference and available budget. Then I tried to generalize to...

    Learning Target Language with Mother Tongue-subtitled Series

    That's why I steered clear from watching foreign films and series on my TV; Indonesian subtitles are distracting. For average viewers they don't care about subtitles, but as ESL (English as second language) speaker, I can understand what English-speaking actors are saying, so I prefer no subtitles.

    I suck at practical art tests, but am excellent at theoretical art exams

    I was just showing my art struggles, yeah because I'm more of left-brained (logical) than right-brained (artistry). So STEM is one of my strengths, and art is one of my weaknesses.

    Hi everyone, I was quite excellent at STEM subjects at school, but struggled (bad) at art classes. Here's why: At grade 9 of middle school, one of the job (assignment) that I had to perform in weeks was singing Amayadori by Mayumi Itsuwa. I and other students were given photocopies of music...

    Why we learn the Reaumur temperature scale when there aren't any practical use of it?

    Why Isn't Horsepower an SI Unit, Despite Its Popularity?

    When we talk about engines on automotive industry (cars, motorbikes, trucks, etc.), we often refer the power produced by such engines by horsepower. But when we talk about electricity, the power is measured in kilowatts. Despite the former case is highly popular, why isn't horsepower considered...

    B Derivation of Wheel Relationship Formulas

    Since I can't edit my first post here, let me update derivation of (3). From equation (2), we divide each sides by number of teeth of each wheels: $$\begin{align} \omega_A \cdot r_A &= \omega_B \cdot r_B \nonumber \\ \frac {\omega_A \cdot r_A} {N_A} &= \frac {\omega_B \cdot r_B} {N_B}...
