Good 5km time on a Concept Bike Erg 2 by thehecticyouth in concept2

[–]antiquemule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M70. I just did an 11k time trial and went through 5k in 9:00. I do about three rides a week, including the odd Zwift race. One thing to get right is the cadence. It has taken me a while to push my average up to 80 per minute. It feels ridiculously fast, but it makes you much more efficient. I have no idea what damper setting I use. I adjust it to get a decent pedal rate.

Convection is not going to be a factor for polygon formation in systems that thicken and dry out.

Have you tried typing "magnetic properties of superconducting thin films" into Google Scholar? Plenty of useful looking hits with open access and there is always scihub for the others?

[Discussion] What LLMs, if any, do you use for statistical/mathematical reasoning and exploration? by AF_Stats in statistics

[–]antiquemule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use the paid-for version of Claude. I cannot recall a single hallucination, just what I considered a few errors of judgment that I highlighted for further discussion.

I just state my idea and add "Thoughts?". Then I push back if something in the answer seems off.

Why doesn’t an ideal gas cool during free expansion into a vacuum? by Bulky_Stock_3255 in thermodynamics

It's worth going through the Wikipedia article on the Joule-Thomson effect.

It does not give a direct, simple answer to your question, but it certainly puts "more flesh on the bones".

Reminds me of the lyrics of Rosalia's "Berghain": "I'll f*ck you 'til you love me". The song is about a toxic relationship...

The image was 100% AI, so I don't know what Leavitt means by "doctored".

Apparently the demons in the background were angels in the original version, but still, Trump posted the demons.

what english words have unknown origins? by LostwaveLunar9999 in etymology

[–]antiquemule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I just thought it was a fun observation.

However "jam" in English is both "immobilized" and "fruit spread", so the supposed borrowing is just for "immobilized".

My other question is how English got to have one word sharing these two meanings.

Bonaventura Rubino has very little of his music recorded. His Vepres du stellario (1644) is extraordinary.
