I read only the first 10 pages of a scifi book in 2020. There is a spaceship with teenagers, but they have never been awake: in order to not endure the stress of the journey, they are growing in a cocoon until the spaceship arrives on a planet. But the spaceship crashes when she lands, and only a...

I often travel to Italy from Switzerland and vice versa, in Switzerland to use the highway you have to buy a sticker (or register your license plate online since this August) and pay a set fee for the year while Italy uses toll booths. If I choose "avoid tolls" on Google Maps ALL the Swiss highwa...

$\newcommand{\hom}{\mathsf{Hom}}\newcommand{\tot}{\mathsf{Tot}}$The exercise $2.7.3$ from Weibel's "an introduction to homological algebra" is known to be incorrectly stated. However, even for the revised version given in that link, I think there may be an error. In a comment under that post it i...

As per my understanding, a metallic chassis can result in a shock only if two failures happen simultaneously: Live wire ('hot') insulation wears off and gets in contact with chassis. Chassis outer painting is worn off and person touches the same point. I am not sure whether my understanding of...

I sometimes see the pattern "要 + adjective", for example "去火车站比去机场的距离要近得多". I know that example means "The distance to the train station is much closer than the distance to the airport". So does "要" mean "much" in the pattern "要 + adjective"?

I'm working on a regression problem with a CNN in which the input is a single image, and the output is an angle in degrees (which determines a specific measure related to the image). Sometimes, the model fails to retrieve the output accurately (for output angles wider than 20°). By analyzing the ...

In many episodes of the Judges, Samuel and other books, the "ephod" is referenced as the symbol of religious and civil power. However, what is an "ephod", exactly? What is its meaning? Who could wear it?

This construction is controversial "wish someone to do". If it was completely ineligible then it would be easy, because it would be expedient not to use it at all. But there are some contexts in which it works. Could you explain when it is fit to be used and when it isn't. The wrong ones: I wish...

It’s a manhwa or manga where she reincarnates into a novel called Hestia's Men as the Female Lead's best friend. In the original novel, she gets sold off when her family becomes poor, so she wants to be a knight or something to not get sold off as a bride. I think she also makes magical objects ...

Whenever I see proofs that use Taylor series for the natural exponential function, they use the following: $$ e^x = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \ldots $$ It is my understanding that such series is an approximation for when x is around 0, but does it work accurately for x far away fr...

My main question: should I do more debugging or is it safe to assume I just need to replace the T&P valve? My issue seems more extreme than most videos/articles about fixing a leaking valve and I want to know if I should investigate more serious concerns with the tank or plumbing? [Backstory] N...

This question is mainly inspired from a different problem I was working on. Is there a value of $k$ such that, for each $n\in \mathbb N$, the equation $$\sum_{i=1}^{k}x_i^2=n$$ is solvable in $x_1,\dots ,x_k\in \mathbb P\cup \{0,1\}$? Here $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of prime numbers. That is, can ev...

The challenge is simple: write a program which takes in some string \$n\$ consisting of only uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters, and outputs the code for a program (in the same language) which takes in no input and outputs \$n\$. However, the code your program generates must not have contain \...

I'm trying to solve the following polynomial equation for $x$: $$ (qx)^\alpha (1-qx)^{1-\alpha} = [(1-q)x]^\beta [1-(1-q)x]^{1-\beta} $$ where $\alpha, \beta, q, x$ are all strictly between 0 and 1. Sadly both Solve and Reduce refuse to help. I've also tried log-transforming, to no luck. What mak...

Accelerated masses produce gravitational waves. A binary star system in which two stars orbit a common center of mass emits gravitational waves. The greatest power is emitted in the plane perpendicular to the stars' orbit. Therefore the following statements must be correct: The radiation pattern...

I saw this weird symbol in a schematic and I couldn't find what it means. It was connected from one side to the shield and ground of a USB port. From the other side it was connected to the ground of a chip.

I see many people with some knowledge of PCB design, says it is bad practice to run high-speed signals of a "disconnected" ground place adjacent to the signal. But no one shows practically what actually happens to the signal as it's traveling across this disconnected ground plane. If no one can s...

I found this site but the nature of the site makes me question its authenticity. Could someone confirm if this is the correct one with a reason?

I can't, for the life of me, understand chain rule on conditional distributions of random variables. I can't see the pattern. Like, how do I find out what things like these are: P(A,B|C) P(X,Y,Z|W) P(U|V,W) P(M|N,O,P) P(H,I|J,K)

Is there a difference between the purpose of life and the meaning of life? I am asking because most of the time when people ask the classic philosophical question, "What is the meaning of life?", they mean the purpose of life. But perhaps there is a distinction between the two. I would love to re...

my 2009 5-speed manual Toyota Corolla has been having a bit of an odd issue lately. When first starting the car when it’s been a little colder (1-5 degrees Celsius), it has been grinding third gear for the first 2-4 shifts despite the clutch being fully depressed. It seems to go away when the eng...

I have seared into my memory a specific scene from Third Rock From the Sun, in which Harry reveals he is wearing a lobster claw-shaped oven mitt, and declares "Lobster claw!".

I'm aware, that if you measure just a subset of a circuit, which is entangled to another subset, it'll be in a mixed state. For example, if you measure q1 in the circuit its purity will be 0.5. But, if you measure the full circuit, it's purity will be 1. Is it a general fact, that the "full" cir...

The comet is being hollowed out in order to use the water as reaction mass (giving it a few miligees of acceleration). How could the comet be strengthened such that it does not coll...

I am interested in the links between Ergodic Theory and Number Theory. Can anyone give some references for papers to read in this field? Any open problems? Or ideas where it may be applicable in NT?

The following is the ack bit I observed from my oscilloscope. It looks like there is a glitch in ack. Next figure is what I found from the Texas Instrument document SLVA704: "Understanding the I2C Bus" by Jonathan Valdez and Jared Becker:

I really need help with this: $$\sum_{x=1}^{n} x^5 $$ is divisible by $n+1$ when $n$ is even, and when $ n \equiv 3 \pmod{4} $. What I first did was proving by induction that $$\sum_{x=1}^{n} x^5 = \frac{n^2 (1 + n)^2 (-1 + 2n + 2n^2)}{12} $$ is right and then argued that because the term includ...

I have built some shelves that I specifically want to use black screws and washers for. Finding black metal washers was nearly impossible so I used some metal spray paint to make black ones. That works fine, but I cant really imagine doing the same with screws since a screw driver is going to be ...

This a picture of what my professor taught in class. According the the definition of a stereogenic centre, allene should have two of them. So I don't understand what I am interpreting wrong.

The ability comes from the Fighter Samurai subclass. Strength Before Death Starting at 18th level, your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to delay falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra ...

I was thinking about atoms, and then I came up with this: How would an atom visible to the naked eye look? What would be its half life and chemical properties? Could it even exist? Edit: “Seeable”, in this question means be like so you can reliably hold it too. It’s like an atom being the siz...

I have binary classifications made by some model, and I know the truth. From this, I can calculate the confusion matrix and all associated values: true positive rate, true negative rate, false positive rate, false negative rate, sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, positive predictive val...
