then why wasn't it enough to wash wounds with soap to prevent infection before antibiotics? And how come it doesn't dissolve the lipid bilayer around human cells? And what about all the bacteria that live on soap?

nuclear waste is made into something more than it is by climate activists, in reality all the dangerous waste ever produced would fit on cube the size of a football field.

We already have microwave ovens so what's the catch? The microwave also has other uses.

i know of no reason for massive elements to not obey gravity. Why would a massive atom have antigravitational properties?

you can put oxygen in your digestive system and breathe through the butt using the intestine wall which is heavily vascularized for oxygen exchange.

yes, you can actually oxygenate the blood through your butt (the intenstines) because they are highly vascularized. You do need to irritate them a bit, or scratch them, so to get more surface area to the blood vessels.

Reply to comment by Difficult-Race-1188 in [D] Neural Networks are just a bunch of Decision Trees by Difficult-Race-1188
from my understanding they introduce sampling of latent space, so when you decode, your parameters in latent space have a gaussian distro around a learned mean and sigma. This in turn, from what i gather, learns "in between" mappings in latent space.

Reply to Is there a consistent and objective way to assess the color of an object? A transform function from spectrum to RGB, maybe? by DJTilapia
For telescopes we have flux measurements in every filter band. And we know the filter transmission function for each wavelength. To get pretty pictures for the internet, three images in different filters are given red green and blue values, sometimes rather arbitrarily. For scientific use, like I said above, the flux density or other similar measurements are used.

Reply to comment by derioderio in How do astronomers share coordinates with each other? by vaterp
they do. Earth's north pole projected onto the sky is the North Celestial Pole, and Earth's equator is projected onto the sky to give the Celestial Equator. Where the Sun's path in the sky intersects the Celestial Equator in spring defines the zero point.

Reply to comment by VT_Squire in How do astronomers share coordinates with each other? by vaterp
The plane in which the Sun moves in the sky and the plane of Earth's equator intersect on a line that points on one end at the zero-zero point.

Reply to [D] At what tasks are models better than humans given the same amount of data? by billjames1685
>But for which of these tasks can ML models outperform us at given the same amount of data as we have?
The brain comes pretrained for a lot of things tho. Babies react to human faces. Pareidolia is simply our pretrained brains "overfitting" random noise, interpretting it as faces. Because, most probably, humans are very good at recognizing human faces. It's a great question really, because it makes us think about the nature of our own intelligence.
A better comparison could be made, maybe, by selecting tasks at which a human would be not "pre-trained".

Are there any drugs or medications that have the opposite effect of anti-depressants? I.e. they trigger depressive thoughts and overwhelming sadness in otherwise healthy individuals?

>. The light emitted from the bolt can be reflected off of clouds and other particles in the atmosphere, which can enhance the overall brightness and create different colors in the sky.
iusn't that what op said? And without tge atmosphere and clouds and such you'd only see the bolt?
