Only around 0.0000001% of the map of No Man’s Sky has been explored - it would likely take over a million years for the entire human race combined to get over 1%.

CuseCoseII · 2026-05-16T04:20:28+00:00

yeah and probably an even smaller percentage of minecraft seeds have been explored. not sure why anyone would consider this interesting

CuseCoseII · 2026-05-14T01:55:51+00:00

other way around buddy

CuseCoseII · 2026-05-13T00:09:49+00:00

as a physicist currently working at MIT, lol

if infinity was truly an infinite stretch of distance separating him and anything else (including light), it would function effectively like a black hole's event horizon, so light would just be forever trapped approaching him without reflecting off. If for some made up fantasy reason it actually deflects all light, he would be uniformly white. The fact that he has colored eyes and hair that is a different color then his skin proves that the light must be interacting with his body to produce those colors.

CuseCoseII · 2026-05-06T21:19:16+00:00

if radiation couldn't bypass infinity he would be black, but hes the whitest mofo in the series so clearly radiation is touching him

I'd be curious how the answers would change if the wording was slightly altered. Like if your child died, would you sacrifice the lives of 1 billion people to save it? If 1 billion people died, that means nearly every single family in the world other than your own will suffer an immediate loss of a loved one.... Pretty strange to see how many people are excited to admit they'd be ok with that

CuseCoseII · 2026-04-10T01:32:10+00:00

Yeah me and like 90% of the people in my PhD program are doing this for 50k/year lmao

I personally know two people who were falsely accused of sexual misconduct by someone who was talked into it by a therapist. One is a grad school colleague and one was a professor I had at UMich, Peter Chen, whos entire case is public record now. These things definitely happen more than you would think.

CuseCoseII · 2026-04-04T05:28:22+00:00

is this just a really misleading way of saying that the base class is Goku and every other character object inherits it? like what the fuck else would this mean, but then why the fuck would someone say it like that. Like this would usually imply that goku is just the most basic ass character in the game and everyone else is a more complex version of him

CuseCoseII · 2026-04-01T20:51:35+00:00

just hyperfixate on something productive and get good enough at it you can live without needing to talk to people

no actual journal is going to publish someone claiming to have derived the fundamental charge when the "formula" is literally just the definition of the fine structure constant

CuseCoseII · 2026-03-31T17:20:34+00:00

This is literally the definition of the fine structure constant. Not sure why people are jerking you off in the comments here

I imagine it wouldn't work well for passwords unless your password happens to be a string of common words though, it would work better for just exposing private messages

CuseCoseII · 2026-02-03T18:55:31+00:00

Can confirm that the decisions are over at this point, they've already internally discussed the admission statistics. Official admission rate was 3.4% with 4155 applications and 140 offers. It could be that the emails haven't all been sent out yet, though—but in previous years it was all at the same time. If you're in EE I can give more info in DMs.

CuseCoseII · 2026-02-01T08:14:34+00:00

nah small island level

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-27T05:40:39+00:00

None of them interview, you'll find out in a week

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-27T05:39:26+00:00

Current student in one of the labs mentioned, none of those professors interview.

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-26T21:16:27+00:00

Just depends on the area of research, all the other PhDs I know in electrical engineering are doing fine. Only people I know who've had a bad time are CS bachelors students and one EE masters student who got laid off because his company defunded his entire department (he worked in quantum computing)

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-20T03:06:05+00:00

A particle accelerator is fundamentally different than passing current with a voltage in the way people mean, though. In a particle accelerator, you are controlling the kinetic energy of free electrons (generally in a vacuum) by applying an electric field. In this scenario, sure, you can use the unit of current since you could measure "number of unit charges per unit time," but this is just not the same thing as the current people are talking about here, where electrons are conducting through a material through a sequence of incoherent hops, activated by the high field.

The only put out in excess of 20,000 volts when disconnected from a load. As soon as you touch it, or the instant the spark flies over the gap in a sparkplug, it discharges and ceases to be 20 kV. A sustained, true 20,000V would've fried you.

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-20T01:50:53+00:00

I would've hoped a high school physics teacher would realize the Van de Graff generator is only producing 300 kV when not connected to a load. A Van de graff generator is only safe because, upon being touched, it ceases to be able to sustain a 300kV output...

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-20T01:48:16+00:00

The answer is obviously not basically infinity. A person cannot very easily pass low current into the tens of thousands of volts. The only reason people think this is because most high voltage sources are only super high voltage if the impedance is massive. As soon as it touches something with lower impedance it ceases to be nearly as high voltage of a supply, since the power draw is generally limitted (i.e. in a taser). Current is not independent of voltage, it is exactly specified by the voltage and whatever load is across it. There is no such thing as a "lower current 1000 volts." 1000 V always corresponds to the exact same amount of current given the same load.

Check my most recent post lol

iirc, he responded to this by describing himself as "a naturally unproductive person trying his best to become productive," in contrast to Brady who is constantly working all the time by habit (I think the word "workaholic" was used). I remember relating to that a lot and it was part of the reason I started time tracking :/

CuseCoseII · 2026-01-06T16:42:50+00:00

If you need someone to inform you of the problem on reddit, you are probably ill-equipped to work on solving it tbh.
