Bounded Kernel Density Estimation

Learn how Kernel Density Estimation works and how you can adjust it to better handle bounded data, like age, height, or pricePhoto by Maxim Berg on UnsplashHistograms are widely used and easily grasped, but when it comes to estimating continuous densities, people often resort to treating it as a mysterious black box. However, understanding this concept is just as straightforward and becomes crucial, especially when dealing with bounded data like age, height, or price, where available libraries may not handle it…

Architecture: Software Cost Estimation – DZone

Estimating workloads is crucial in mastering software development. This can be achieved either as an ongoing development part of agile teams or in response to tenders as a cost estimate before migration, among other ways. The team responsible for producing the estimate regularly encounters a considerable workload, which can lead to significant time consumption if the costing is not conducted using the correct methodology. The measurement figures generated may significantly differ based on the efficiency of the technique…

Could a Cockroach Survive a Fall From Space?

There's some cool stuff going on here. Notice that for the objects with air resistance, they all reach incredibly high velocities as they fall in the upper atmosphere where they encounter very little air resistance. However, once they get into the thicker air they slow down. The cockroach slows in a weird way because my air density model (for very high altitudes) has low resolution.But all of those objects eventually reach some terminal velocity. For the bowling ball, this final velocity is 83 meters per second (185 mph),…

ESRB pushes back on speculation around facial age estimation application

Recently, the ESRB and digital identity firm Yoti filed an application to the FTC. The application details a design for “Facial Age Estimation,” used to guess the age of users using the front-facing camera of a cell phone. Reports of this application soon followed, speculating that the ESRB might use this technology to scan children’s faces and verify their ages. However, the ESRB recently responded to these statements, saying it would not be used for this reason. Instead, the ratings board says this tech is going to be…

OK Surfers, How Much Would It Cost to Power Your Own Wave?

That expression doesn't look nice, but at least now the energy calculation is in terms of things that we actually know or can estimate. All we need to do is convert our estimates from imperial units to metric and we are all set. Using a wave traveling at 20 miles per hour, with these estimations I get a wave energy of 16 million joules.Is this a lot of energy? Here are some quick numbers for comparison. Suppose you pick up a textbook from the floor and put it on a table. This takes roughly 10 joules. Your smartphone’s…

The Physics of ‘Sniping’ for Gold

There are three forces acting on the debris. First, there's the downward-pulling gravitational force (Fg) due to the interaction with the Earth. This force depends on both the mass (m) of the object and the gravitational field (g = 9.8 newtons per kilogram on Earth).Next, we have the buoyancy force (Fb). When an object is submerged in water (or any fluid), there is an upward-pushing force from the surrounding water. The magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the water displaced, such that it's proportional to…

The Physics of Mandalorian Jetpacks (Hint: They Aren’t Jetpacks)

Let’s say you don’t need to fly quite so far. What about a jet engine? These are the things you mainly see on commercial airliners, but very small jet engines can also be used to make a real-life jetpack.Just like rockets, jet engines produce thrust by shooting mass out the back, which is mostly just air. The energy comes from combusting jet fuel, which is similar to kerosene and is made from petroleum. The increase in the momentum of this ejected matter produces a forward-pushing force.There is a big difference though:…
