I have a MOSFET (JANSR2N7624U3) that I want to protect from a short circuit condition. Lets say the applied voltage will be 5 V over the duration of the short. From the SOA graph of the MOSFET, that means it can handle a single 50 A pulse for a maximum duration of 1ms. The nominal max current of ...

Given a simplicial graph $\Gamma$ and a family of finitely generated groups $\lbrace G_v\rbrace_{v\in V(\Gamma)}$ the graph product of groups $(\Gamma, \lbrace G_v\rbrace_{v\in V(\Gamma)})$ is the group generated by $\lbrace G_v\rbrace_{v\in V(\Gamma)}$ where we add commutator relations between $...

While reading about linear logic/linear type theory and the related categorical semantics, I got a bit confused about the required structure. The idea/motivation behind linear logic (especially viewed from the perspective of quantum information theory) is clear. One removes the contraction rule s...

In 2023, Trump told CNN: "If I'm president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours." It's a claim he repeated several times. BBC The sentence was said when he wasn't a president. So, it is a sentence about an unreal situation in terms of English grammer. At school we were taught that...

After having done the somewhat humorous mistake of trying to calculate the time evolution of the time evolution operator itself by using the Heisenberg equation, I began asking myself, why this is actually not allowed. That this leads to nonsensical results is fairly straightforward, since $U$ an...

Suppose a president decided to pardon every white inmate in Federal prisons, while letting all other inmates remain incarcerated.

It's a puzzling line for over 20 years for me. The great mathematician A. N. Whitehead said in his "An Introduction to Mathematics"(1911) that: "Now, the first noticeable fact about arithmetic is that it applies to everything, to tastes and to sounds, to apples and to angels, to the ideas of the ...

I recall reading (or watching a pbs show about?) a book with humans and dragons. In its "normal" society, dragons are bred to be pets, and so the small and cute ones are kept. The not so cute ones are killed. Also, the dragon's blood is hot an acidic, but maybe not when they are freshly hatche...

Those who believe that Col 1:15 means that Jesus is the literal firstborn of creation and thus a creature naturally infer that, in Colossians 1:16, what the NIV translates as "For in him all things were created" should be understood as meaning "For in him all other things were created." A common ...

ConTeXt seems to be moving towards a more consistent markup-based approach. For example, ` and ' are no longer rendered as curly quotes by default, and instead quotations should be typeset using the \quote or \quotation commands. While I welcome this opinionated stance, I wonder what the "idiomatic"

2 Peter 2:2 ESV "And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed." [My emphasis] How might "the way of truth" here compare with "I am the way, and the truth" in John 14:6? In 2 Peter 2 the word "way" occurs three times: 2 Peter 2:2 "the way o...

I recall reading a spec-fic novel, prob back in the late 80s or early 90s, where all the male protagonists were gay by social convention, and talked about "manly love". But once a year or whatever, they had to report to a "breeding station" where all the women lived in some comfort and isolation,...

Suppose we take the viewpoint that the right category for measure theory is the category of measurable locales or equivalently, the opposite category of the category of commutative Von Neumann algebras, as advocated for example here: https://mathoverflow.net/a/49542/76299 The Lebesgue-Algebra on ...

For a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$, we denote $\text{Jac}(\Sigma)$ be its Jacobian, i.e. $$ \text{Jac}(\Sigma) := H^{1,0}(\Sigma)^{*}/H_{1}(\Sigma,\mathbb{Z}). $$ Denote $\text{Pic}_d(\Sigma)$ be the Picard group of degree $d$, i.e. $\text{Pic}_d(\Sigma)$ consists all the equivalent classes o...

I know mystery novels focus on unraveling a puzzle and something unsolved, and that thrillers are more about heightened excitement and suspense. I'm curious what the difference in pacing is. If you have written/read for either or both genres, what have you noticed? How have you approached it?

I live in a 1926 co-op building in PNW USA (3 stories + partially underground ground level) with radiator heat served by a gas boiler. The attic insulation is pretty minimal. We can get some money from the city to pay for insulation. As far as I know the attic is moderately well sealed from the t...

In the English language, it seems to be the case that, due to the Norman yoke, the norm is that animals have Germanic names, whereas the corresponding meats have Romanic names. E.g., cow–beef, sheep–mutton, etc. I am looking for exceptions to this rule in which the reverse is the case, i.e., an a...

In several Catholic churches online, I have seen grilles used in large sections of the side walls. These are obviously not gates as they could not be opened. I was thinking it might be a "window grille" but had some doubts since they extend to the floor of the church. I tried searching for the sp...

I'm curious (with the ease that presidents can undo EOs of predecessors): what's the longest period of time that an Executive Order was standing before being revoked by (another) president?

My understanding is that a great circle is a "straight line" in spherical geometry, meaning that if I point my aircraft in some direction and rip the yoke off (metaphorically speaking) I will travel in a great circle. However some stuff on you-tube suggests that pilots have to continuously turn t...

I want to find the maximum (or a relatively tight upper bound on the maximum) of $$\sum_{i = 1}^n \arccos(x_i) - \arccos(y_i)$$ subject to the constraint that $x_1 + \dots + x_n = y_1 + \dots + y_n$. From simulations, it seems like a maximum occurs at $$(x_1, \dots, x_n) = \left(-1, -1, \dots, -1...

In quantum mechanics, and specifically in quantum entanglement, two particles that are at a huge distance from each other, can be correlated in their spins. For example, they can be inverse correlated, such that if one particle is measured to be a positive spin, the other is negative. Einstein pr...

This problem is very relevant to games and real-time simulations but it may have broader applications. It seems inherently difficult to solve. The problem: Imagine that you have a large buffer of data, maybe 50 to 100 mb (far more than the processor cache can hold at once). The buffer contains ma...

If there is a transcendental optimizer so that the weights parameter always leads to a global minimum. Does that mean it leads to overfitting?

In Linux, the RDRAND instruction is used, but taken with a grain of salt, in that it is used as only one of several sources of entropy for a CSPRNG. It is used in this way over concerns that the instruction can be backdoored by the NSA. One of my teammates criticizes this, and argues that if the ...
