Wie unterschiedlich schnell ein Ball aus 1km Höhe in unserem Sonnensystem fällt

Planetary scientist Dr. James O’Donoghue put together a fun video that compares how fast a ball drops onto 12 different surfaces in our solar system. For example, dropping a ball from .6 miles high and assuming no air resistance, it would take only 2.7 seconds to land on the Sun, 14.3 seconds to land on Earth, 15 seconds for Uranus, and a whopping 84.3 seconds for Ceres (a fine speed for us less nimble athletes).

Mixtape aus Pausen zwischen Stücken im Konzert

Gavin Edwards hat es getan; ähnlich hatte ich hier schon Kirill Shirokov.
Und von mir gibt es ein Stück namens The gap between two pieces of music.

Well, I cut together an hour-long cassette tape that was sufficiently its own thing that a quarter-century later, I’m still not sure what to call it. It did have a name, which was Having Fun On Stage With Everybody. It answered the previously unasked question „What would a live concert album sound like with all the songs taken out?“

I dubbed two copies and sent them to my friends Rob Sheffield and Ted Friedman. And I figured that was about the natural size of its audience.

Diesen Strand gibt es nicht

Wieder was in der KI-Reihe nichtexistenter Dinge – diesmal computergenerierte Strände. Aus 25 Millionen Fotos von Stränden generiert der Algorithmus neue Fotos.
This beach does not exist

The video shows the learning process of the network. The learning progress is measured in kimg (kilo images). The network was trained for 25,000 kimg (until it had seen 25,000,000 images).
