you may have put the cart before the horse. calculating mp/me from pure mathematics is different than theories developed from observation.

Anyone know many strokes it takes an average artist to get to completion? [sorry joke had to be made but really curious about answer as well].
This already gave me a better feel about what painters do, and I'm blind in the mind.
Comments about trolling the scoring algorithm seemed a little silly to me, if you folks want max score just run some sort of soft-ICE, scan the sandboxed mem and change it ;) This is a really cool idea and I love it.
Essentially if you're running vicon you can make flying things do things like you could make them do programming them in Blender or similar, subject to the [pretty minimal to the human eye] time constants of the mechanical systems. Brushless speed controllers are pretty fast, servos are as well [but way slower]. The end-to-end control loops we are talking about are in the ballpark of 1khz easy and have been for quite some years.
If they had balls they'd take off the balls ;) Other than that it is essentially CGI in real life ;)
Sorry don't mean to be negative it looks cool guys. Now go make it actually cool.
I ain't got no darn PhD in control theory from some fancy skool er nuthin but my gut tells me for this situation it's the state estimation that actually composes the beavers tail under the wattuh of dis dat der prollem.
I get that it is cool to be able to ooohcrazy train a model to select between different species but like all tools this is one that can be used by both sides-- and assuredly will be.
Training a model to identify poachers is A: way easier B: waaay more actionable C: way less sexy for a news report and fun for nature lovers, and NVIDIA's shareholders, unfortunately.
Unfortunately for the pangolins C will probably always trump. . .
They're so cuutte I love them!!!!
history has shown that trying to control tools simply leads to more unnecessary death.
maybe we should think about focusing on all entities having enough that their is no need to employ power?
tldr; if everyone on the planet had a roof over their heads, food to eat, books for their children and light with which they could read them in. . . we wouldn't be here. and econometrically this has been feasible since around the 1970s.
there are examples of small geographically isolated communities throughout history that have had this.
i wish humanity would get better at math.
fking google.
there are good [as well as technical humurous] comments on the page.
I think they are showing nothing but noise.
The problem is that the data is presented to the observer as something that is within the measurement spectrum. It is not. The graphs show simply noise within the expected spectrum of noise for both the Montana and San Francisco data.
Next there is some statement about increased cancer risk which doesn't really reference anything at all but on first blush seems intended to reference then difference between the montana/SF data.
The data between both of those graphs if within the noise and we have little information on under what circumstances it was taken [and this is in addition to the fact that it is just noise!]
The authors first statement that "it probably means nothing" does nothing to excuse the fact that most viewers will likely view it as as something especially given the comments that follow.
FUD.
I wouldn't call my statements "worked up by his apparent misuse of radioactivity-detecting instruments"
I would call them reasonable statements of someone who gets pissed off by FUD. Can you [or HE] explain to me how this is not FUD?
"Q: Wait a moment... why are Montana readings quite a bit higher than in California? A: SF Bay Area is a coastal region, while the other location is up in the mountains - which means that there is less atmosphere to stop cosmic rays. The difference in measurements is quite substantial, around 40%. If that freaks you out, consider that a commercial flight easily exposes you to about 300 µR/h!"
From the manual:
Gamma Sensitivity: 18 counts/sec @ 1mR/hr (10μSv/hr) Accuracy (Cs137): ± 20% background through 600R/hr Saturation: No saturation below 1000R/hr Background: <10 counts/minute (Shielded)
Downvote me all you want this isn't useful unless shit gets real.
Here is an interesting paper on gamma-ray monitoring:

Here is [ostensibly]: some specs on the 7121 dectetor the "Nukalert" shitty USB product is based on: https://www.lndinc.com/products/geiger-mueller-tubes/712-2/
Lilium is vaporware. Ask anyone who has worked in the space. Or just look at it. Or their promotional materials.
Ducted fans huh... meh. I don't think they have an interest in people understand how fly-y/hover-y things actually work.
I do applaud the investors for their vigorous desire to increase the velocity of money throughout society, it is important econometrically. Somehow I doubt they'll be happy to see their currency shredded by 36 rc brushless motors struggling to thrust an anemic wing into the sky though (before its glorious ~250km/h cruise to destination [of course])--and then ~15s landing hover.
What exciting times to fly in.
