1/ When people are searching for "availability bias friendly" anecdotes for their technology is stagnating assertion they like to find areas where laws of physics (which are not just guidelines) create a barrier. Technology finds solutions that don't require breaking these laws.
2/ The future is: "Weirder and cooler ... smaller transistors will be just one part" of how exponential progress can be maintained. Intel and others will use "other tactics, such as building vertically, layering transistors or chips on top of each other." wired.com/story/intels-n…
3/ "To go beyond Moore’s law we need to go beyond classical computing with electrons/silicon. The good news is there are plenty of options: from quantum computing, miracle materials like graphene, to optical computing and specialized chips." towardsdatascience.com/moores-law-is-…

"Because Dish is building what is known as a standalone 5G network (not building on top of an existing LTE network), it needs to wait for the next version of the 5G standard, which is due to be approved around the middle of next year." axios.com/dish-charlie-e…
"T-Mobile and Dish have agreed to conditions to promote eSIM.... [which] allows consumers to switch carriers on their phone without having to trade out a physical SIM or go to the store to do it. You can actually do it with a software download." Ergen

Tom Cullen: "we'll deploy a converged core... provisioning the SIM and the network ID and the subscriber information on our database. Whereas in a traditional MVNO, it's on the host database. [Owning the database] allows seamless transfer of traffic [between networks by DISH.]

25iQuiz: If a Falcon 9 generates $62 million per launch and lifts 2,500 kilograms (5,500 pounds) to the space station, what does it cost to deliver a kilogram or pound to low earth orbit? How many Falcon launches so far in 2019? What will total revenue be if that pace continues?
While new Falcon 9 rocket rides retail for $62M, rides on reused rockets are reportedly selling for as little as $50M. What is the probability you can get free floor mats, rust proofing and fabric protection approved by a SpaceX Falcon 9 sales manager? google.com/amp/s/finance.…
This is a short video of the Falcon 9 landing vertically. Does this amazing capability represent innovation even though prices have dropped and the benefits have been captured by consumers of launch? Is there any evidence of increasing demand for launch?

"At the end of Q2, US VC funding was at $55B, well above the mid-point for 2018 ($48B), which ultimately saw a near-record $116B raised (compared to the record $120B in 2000)." pwc.com/us/en/moneytre…
"Seed rounds fluctuate to lowest activity in six years: After rebounding last quarter, Seed activity dropped below levels last seen in Q1’14."

Yesterday in #physics class, I had to have the discussion about learning vs. telling the answer. I got to use my favorite Karate Kid analogy - "wax on, wax off" to emphasize that sometimes you have to do tedious things to learn.

wired.com/2013/10/tellin…
2/ What happens when you just tell students answers? They have trouble learning complicated concepts. Personally, I love this (older) video showing students trying to explain the phases of the moon and the cause of seasons. It's great.
3/ Another point I mention to students.

If #physics was as easy as me just telling you the answer, I promise you I would do that. I'm not trying to make physics hard just for no reason. Physics is difficult on its own accord (and honestly, that's what makes it awesome).

Here's a perspective on satellite mega-constellations that nobody has mentioned. (We are ALL tired of this, but I think this is interesting).

The real reason SpaceX is putting up a mega-constellation at this time is because of the laws of nature. It was inevitable.../1
2/ Many metrics of information growth show exponential growth. Examples: Moore's law, computer speeds, agents on the internet of things, sensors. See review here: ourworldindata.org/technological-…
3/ Even before humans existed, we see evidence of exponential growth in information. Consider the sizes of genomes. This plot has a slope of 1 on a log-lot chart, so this is exponential growth in DNA complexity. phys.org/news/2013-04-l…

Find a mentor!

That's my (unsolicited) life advice for today.

Everyone is talking about Avery's thread re: game jams and crunch. It's a good thread; please go read it (I'll link to it at the bottom of this thread).

I want to talk about the importance of mentorship.

(thread)
Avery's thread is directed at people who wish to make a living (or at least supplement their income) by making ttrpgs. Making a living at ttrpgs is definitely not easy—there are just basic market factors at play—but if you really want to have a go at it, try to find a mentor.
When I started moving The Gauntlet into publishing, I was fortunate enough to have experienced people like @trumonz and @kylejsimons to help me learn the ropes. (And I'm still learning!)

@_journaling_ @TheFigen She's still going, is she? I'll just give a few links, this time. I'm not going to keep rehashing the same arguments every time Figen decides the revisit this drama. Let's start with this unroll.

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1094382…

I was replying to an emotional outburst by Figen.
@_journaling_ @TheFigen Figen was having a good, uncaring laugh over yet another airhorn prank video



so I reminded her of why celebrating this sort of thing was an unethical thing to do.



I'm waiting for a unroll on that one.
@_journaling_ @TheFigen She then flew into a narcissistic rage.



Yes, I know, I've said that repeatedly, but it's the perfect description. I gave her the response I linked to above, which you can see in its original context starting at



if you prefer.

THREAD. Need some #physics ideas to go along with your holiday presents? I have you covered.

Here is my list of some cool physics experiments I have done with toys and stuff.

String theory is interesting and a worthwhile research topic. But I often wish that popular science articles about string theory were less hype and would also inform the readers of the shortcomings of the approach. Here is a reminder 1/10 #physics
String theory, as a theory of quantum gravity and a unification of the forces, has zero experimental evidence speaking for it. 2/10
String theory predicts additional dimensions of space which have not been seen. String theorists therefore conjectured that the unseen new dimensions are very small and compact, so they are unlike the dimensions we are familiar with - for unknown reasons. 3/10
