@SameGirlie I really need to catch up on this.. I thought it was ruled unconstitutional a while ago?

@darnell Dude the trump conspiracy people are on another level of crazy...

@JessTheUnstill yea that makes sense too. But even if you just look at breast development, hrt late in life statistically will cause far less (if any) breast development than if its started earlier.

@thor @mike805

Huyup and it shows, even more advanced students seem to struggle with what a lot of these values truly mean.

@thor @mike805

Youd be just as handicapped if you focused on current and neglected voltage.

@thor @mike805

You shoukdnt really think of either as the main thing.. if you really want to fucus on something thats inckusive focus on power not volts or current.

@JessTheUnstill

That actually makes sense. I woukd support banning football before age 18.

That said trans i see as different simply because hormone therapy is far less effective post puberty.

@thor @mike805

Onky reason fets appear easier to understand is because people for some strange reason always tbink in voltages and not currents.

@thor @mike805

One is a voktage controlled resistor the other is a current controlled resistor. Both have a saturation point where thry become nonlinear.

@thor @mike805

Fets are also nonlinear, so thats not unique to a bjt.

The nolinearity is where much of their strength comes from. Its the very reason an oscilator works without escaping to infinite voltage.

@thor @mike805

Perhaps, but a mosfet and a bjt are kind of duals like capacitor and inductor.. fet is voltage based, transistor is current based. In fact a fet is usually modeled as a capacitor controlled resistor.

@thor @mike805

Fets are easier to understand but sometimes require odd voltages that make them a bit annoying tonuse in some circumstances.

@thor @mike805

Yea, not really a great example.

@medigoth Causality is not as hard as people think. The problem is you cant use correlation to get there in any reliable way (since most variables are unknowns)... But that isnt to say you cant effectively determine causality, you just lean into other tests like causality tests rather than relying on correlation alone.

In this case its simple, look at something like a granger causality test. In populations where there was a sudden rise in christianity (or racism) then look to see if the other one spiked with some time delay and if so which of the two preceded the other.

This approach isnt perfect of course, but its going to get you far closer to an accurate analysis than trying to look at correlation.

@thor also true... the idealized or simulated world is not going to get you to the end point.

@thor yea for sure

@thor

In the paper I linked you to skip to the section called "The Circuit Dual Under Reciprocal Impedance" that is the part where I show how an inductor is the dual of a capcitor

@trinsec indeed

@thor right, in the ideal world of theory we tend to ignore line resistance. However we explicitly add it in when as an EE we know it matters.

If you want to deal with a short, you will usually add a very small series resistor in there to simulate the real world resistance.
