It's no accident Rijndael was chosen over Serpent for AES as it left the door open for possible future NSA exploits. Muh speed was given as the excuse, ignoring ever increasing computing speed. The chosen algorithm would also receive a hardware instruction set on most architectures.

Cold winter morning, and you just made some boiling hot tea. You dont want your glass to break, and you have two options: pour it into the glass with thick walls, or into the glass with thin walls. Which one do you pick?

>Cracking due to heat is because thermal expansion causes uneven stress, leading to fractures when the material can't accommodate the strain.
Thin walls might heat up more evenly, but on the other hand, thick walls might withstand the strain.

All other material things are practically worthless compared to being young and healthy.
I really wonder why there is so little attention given to it, considering it is the ultimate prize.

past = memory
future = a prediction of motion

The present is the only true thing constantly in existence. The past went to fuck itself matter is no longer in that spot the only accurate way to record it is with cameras and video. Which is why most of history before cameras and video was lied about a fuck ton and still is but now the press is more competent exposing what really happened.

I can provide full product service for any public good

I can provide key technical details, documentation and instruction manuals, for correct understanding and operation of magical constructs, accurate tradition, meticulous discovery, and generic forms of autonomy. Care, with proper instruction, makes possible the transference of magic from any agreeable reality into our own world. You are welcome to try a science-oriented style of approach, depending.

Saw this post where Eric Weinstein was talking about how US govt is intentionally stagnating physics to stop it from creating more powerful tools. Is this true? Is our physics stagnating and how did US govt convince so many to stagnate

yes, which isn't true
lee smolin believes in LQG, which is just as much of a meme as string theory
it's a dishonest book that tries to paint string theory physicists as mean tyrants stealing all the funding from his poor oppressed favorite theory, while in reality string theory never actually dominated academia, sure it was popular 20-30 years ago but more popular among non-physicists than it was actually dominant in theoretical physics.
it's just another case of some pseud who can't get traction publishing his work for actual physicists, instead making money from deceiving the general public. Which is exactly what string theorists did too, but at least they didn't do it by bashing other peoples' more famous theories.

I'm not a theoretical physisist, what is like, non pseud theoretical physics? Everything I have ever seen from it is either sort of schizo, or "we looked at the LHC data and narrowed down the mass of gender leptons to a margin of 1 to 3 kiloelectron volts / C^2
>>
>>16810196
I'm not knocking the field, I genuinely want to know how you can differentiate promising new theories from schizo theories, and if any of the promising new theories are better than asking excel to generate an equation that happens to fit the observed data

Seems earnest in his appreciation for science. His microscopy videos were endearing, if boring. Didn't sell out too hard. Not egregiously obnoxious from what I remember. I would spare his life in the inevitable purges.

His older videos are terrible because of all the quirky shit but his newer stuff isn't so bad. Id still rather watch someone else

I ate frozen tendies for about a week straight and I stopped feeling as good from fapping and orgasm felt like nothing. Erection was the same but I could barely feel anything while doing it. It's processed frozen foods in general that do this but what's the actual science behind why it reduces sexual pleasure?
Does it have to do something with hijacking the reward system or is it something related to the body.

tldr; eating frozen food made fapping and cooming less pleasurable without affecting erection strength

why is climate science so good, but climate propaganda so bad? they keep getting things right but get embarrassed on the media all the same all the time

>https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019GL085378
>Retrospectively comparing future model projections to observations provides a robust and independent test of model skill. Here we analyze the performance of climate models published between 1970 and 2007 in projecting future global mean surface temperature (GMST) changes. Models are compared to observations based on both the change in GMST over time and the change in GMST over the change in external forcing. The latter approach accounts for mismatches in model forcings, a potential source of error in model projections independent of the accuracy of model physics. We find that climate models published over the past five decades were skillful in predicting subsequent GMST changes, with most models examined showing warming consistent with observations, particularly when mismatches between model-projected and observationally estimated forcings were taken into account.

Why is the education system so shit? Is trying to make kids sit still while a person who might not be very interested in their job tries to make them care about what they're saying just a hopeless endeavor, or is there hope for the current model?
