  • My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

    Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

    Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I’ve no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

    We’ll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That’s generally what’s happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

    So you know brioche buns should be ever so slightly sticky, but a sweet sticky, right?

    Not to ruin your favourite burger place but maybe you should just buy some buns from a bakers and then see what they’re like fresh.

    At the moment there are two options. You can’t quite tell the difference between brioche sticky and greasy sticky or your burger place manages to get grease all over your buns.

    How good are they overall? Do you want to know the answer?

    Edit: Damn it came to me just too late. At the moment you’re stuck in Heisenberg’s buns. Do you want to resolve that?


  • Did you read the recall? Again it says hood latch switch deformation.

    That may be part of the hood latch assembly but again at no point does it say that the latch not latching is the issue. Only the reporting of the latching state.

    You’re really rather pathetic and I’m certainly no fan of Tesla or Musk. A brief check of my previous posts would confirm this.

    As you’re obviously not very good at reading or understanding things then that fact probably did slip by you. You seem to be only capable of latching (you might not see what I did there being a bit dense) onto certain words without understanding the full issue.





  • The comments read like a lot of people don’t quite understand the issue.

    The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn’t secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn’t going to suddenly open.

    If the latch isn’t shut correctly and then the sensor doesn’t report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

    If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that’s it fixed.

    There’s no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It’s just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

    It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that’s the case and isn’t just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.




  • Cost. I think all of the 5th generation were top loaders. On the cd audio side nice stackable separates were tray or slot. Cheap stand-alones were top.

    6th was a split but then I think the perception of slot or tray loading being more prestigious moved everyone to slot/tray.

    Plus I think top loaders might have been less secure. I certainly remember a number of physical mods or swap techniques that defeated top loader security very easily.

    Same thing happened with videos as well. Started with manual top loaders and then moved to slot.

    You specifically said “electrons do not orbit with any kind of movement”

    So by your own argument they’re not moving. We know the mass. So if we find one by your logic we know everything about it.

    Yes that is the probability cloud model well done.

    However my point again. You seem to think saying this renders the simile of planetary orbit obsolete. It doesn’t it’s a simile. It’s a way of explaining something that doesn’t have to exactly explain it.

    If someone said “that fell on my head like a ton of bricks” would you go and examine the object and check it was exactly a ton of bricks or that it exactly exhibited the properties of a ton of bricks?

    Or perhaps would you understand something from that about what had happened to them.

    You may find this useful. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile

    This looks like something from Viz magazine. They’ll regularly have big one page jokes about something and then have these little made up side bits in.

    Whole thing was probably about illegal immigrants taking small boats to the hundred acre wood and then there’s this little bit in the bottom.

    If they don’t orbit with any kind of movement then what does that say about Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle?

    We know their mass. So once observed we would know everything about them.

    Unless your saying they just some how jump from one random point in that probability cloud to another?

    Electrons do orbit like planets in the solar system however they’re also waves. Which is what gives the set radii they can orbit at and keeps it all stable. The orbits can and do change due to the emission or absorption of certain quanta of radiation.

    So saying like is fine. It’s not an exact description but more of a simile to help understanding. They do orbit like a solar system. Saying electrons orbit the same as a solar system would be incorrect. That’s when the maths doesn’t work and the electrons orbit would decay.
