HASH - Complex Systems Simulation
Build simulations in minutes not days. HASH is an open-source platform backed and built by the founders of Kaggle, Stack Overflow, Trello and Glitch.
to know if something is a scam or has real value, you first have to understand what is "real value"

Manias and Mimesis: Applying René Girard’s Mimetic Theory to Financial Bubbles by Byrne Hobart, Tobias Huber :: SSRN
While next-generation models in quantitative finance have illuminated the origins of market bubbles and crashes by incorporating herding and imitation behavior,
TLDR: Thermal noise => graphene as a low-pass filter => rectifier diodes => heat-to-electricity converter. Still looks like a perpetual motion machine. 10 mW is A LOT o_O

Fluctuation-induced current from freestanding graphene
At room temperature, micron-sized sheets of freestanding graphene are in constant motion, even in the presence of an applied bias voltage. We quantify the out-of-plane movement by collecting the displacement current using a nearby small-area metal electrode…
TLDR: Economics looked weird to math-savvy people because... it used the wrong null hypothesis for 350 years, piling corrections on top.

Oh wow, a network that enhances photorealism of rendered images — we might finally see indie games that need realistic visuals, not just a heavily-stylized ones!

Not to sound arrogant but… reminds me of that famous paper where medical researcher rediscovers integration.
I mean, isn’t encoding data via phase difference about the only way you can transmit both continuous variables and events that is resistant both to “dc offset” and fading?
I always assumed biological neurons *have* to work this way…
