Want to understand ohm's law, or figure out how fast something moves after falling for 15 seconds, or see how mass changes relativistically with velocity? The site will do it for you. No thanks, buddy, AI will handle that grunt work for me. e: help, my satellite is on fire

Captain Hygiene posted:I don't care if Count Dooku himself championed them, curved hilts look dumb Fencing rapiers effectively have a curved grip because you're not supposed to fist grip the sword, you hold them with the grip diagonal across your palm and with your index finger on the far side of the blade. They sometimes have finger rings for that reason. The actual grip is straight but the way you use it functions like a curved one. Because you hold them point towards the enemy, and the alternative is breaking your wrist to do that, so a pistol grip makes sense for the same reason. You're pointing the sword at people.

A quick Google of the shotel says that it's actually double edged, so that's probably it. There's clearly a primary and secondary edge, but both are sharp.

I had the same thought and did my own research but the kord, yatagan, and kampilan are explicitly back swords. The shotel is an odd duck and is seen as sickle based but it's only double edge, at least in the rank and file version, is a false back edge focused at the tip as it's a stabbing weapon with extra capacity for slashing. The majority of the back edge remains dulled to be used for shield bracing like a back sword.

jjack229 posted:What is "electron flux"? Also, what is "isolation of the wire"? "Flux" literally means flow, specifically the amount of a thing going through a specific area, so it's flow of electrons aka current Isolation of the wire I think means how well it's grounded. Electricity takes the least restrictive path to the lowest potential, so if it's grounded poorly then it might be through the bird.

The bottom left chart on scientific breakthroughs points to what seems to be a serious issue. Scientific progress is as rapid as it's ever been (although the signal to noise ratio in the literature could be higher), but it's largely not visible to the layperson as it was back in the middle of the century. How do we communicate that there's progress in algebraic statistics or non-convex optimization or synthetic biology to people who have nowhere near enough background to know what those things are?

I think this is where Big Science has a role as a standard bearer. If CERN or ITER or the latest space telescope is doing something cool-sounding with flashy pictures it kind of persuades non-experts that that ‘science’ is making progress.
