Huh ? You do realise that the apparent motion of the moon over a given day is because of the rotation of the earth, and that the changes in the relative positions of the sun and moon, and hence the lighting conditions of the moon, are negligible ?

I don't think the article did a great job with their two digit illustration. They simply state:

(ad + bc) = ((a + b) × (c + d)) – ac – bd.

First note this equation is more clearly be written as:

ad + bc = (a + b)(c + d) – ac – bd.

To see why this is so first expand (a + b)(c + d).

(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

now

(a + b)(c + d) − ac − bd = ac + ad + bc + bd − ac − bd

Hence

ad + bc = (a + b)(c + d) – ac – bd.

I think they were fairly common for things like gladiatorial games, jousting, etc.

That is neat, I did not know this method of constructing a gold ratio. Once you have a golden ration it's easy to construct a pentagon (with straight-edge and compass).

I'm not from the US, but here in Australia, the 2026 BYD atto EV is priced at 24k AUD. That's 16k USD. Also the infrastructure is there as most homes are connected to the electricity grid

Add to that that the demand for imaging is not fixed. Even if somehow imaging became a lot cheaper to do with AI, then likely we would just get more imaging done instead of having fewer radiologists.
