Excuse my ignorance in this space but I want to check my understanding: About a year ago I toyed with writing a web app that was essentially a front-end to a diffusion image genera…

A nebulous description of my ideal setup would be something like this: Side-by-side schematic symbol view / code view that are actively synced to one-another in real-time. Schemati…

Very neat, nice work. I tooled around with a similar idea sometime back. There are clear advantages of code over graphical-schematics when it comes to automatic generation of compo…

Using neural networks to solve inverse-scattering problems (like wifi scattering off a human body, for example) seems to have a lot of potential. The lack of phase-information (i.e…

Many days late on this reply but I am at 120K miles (2008 model). The engine compression is noticeably low now. Before warming up and at low RPM the car really struggles to make it…

There's a noticeable difference between self-checkout stations, for example: The stations at my local Harris teeter are unable to handle the user quickly scanning+placing products …

Wrote a letter to my local Mazda place about this. I've had nothing but good experiences with the several Mazda vehicles I've owned (still daily-drive the rotary-engine RX8...). Se…

How is paying out-of-pocket for an insulated water-bottle / better shoe insoles any different than paying a fee for a union to collectively negotiate these things for you? In both …

Right there with you. I've gotten so used to having it give me exactly the answer to my specific question that, when I must fall back to traditional search, it's noticeably unpleas…

To think the UCLA article didn't even include the photograph of the asteroid taken by DART prior to impact.

I always wonder how you do the risk calculus for this kind of scenario. Clearly if the certainty of a world-ending impact is 100% then committing the entirety of humanities resourc…

The word 'unexpected' doesn't appear in the article. It's a fairly safe bet that the team of people capable of hitting a 581 foot object 6 million miles away with a 13,000 mph slug…

Drawing from melt to achieve a consistent crystal orientation was my first thought as well. Looking at the Griffin paper, the Pb(2) site is described as being 1.08eV 'more energeti…

To be clear, they are not sorting it by superconductivity. Their claim is that they are sorting it by the Meissner effect. More likely they are sorting it by it's exhibited diamagn…

Location: South-east USA Remote: Yes (US timezones preferred) Willing to relocate: Yes Technologies: Analog/Digital circuit design, Firmware development (c/c++, ARM), Software deve…

I do something similar from the employer side. I send short technical assessments to good candidates, typically these are a word problem related to some issue I recently had to dea…

For the person who writes this article, is it the highlight of their month of the bane of their existence?

It doesn't seem like there is much to say on this topic. Wealth accumulation is the outcome of many dice rolls, some that are weighted in ways that are within your control and some…

Can't help but point out that, in SC2 specifically, micro is not really a fundamental skill at all. Macro-ing efficiently will win you the vast majority of fights until you reach t…

Roughly translated Solarized over to Altium years ago if you're into that kind of thing: https://github.com/JohnKrause/Altium-Solarized

Time to stop dancing around the issue and just run solid-copper bus-bars directly from the PSU to your GPU. That aesthetic could be made appealing.

This story feels like it could be the plot of a children's book.

If I recall the math, the yearly total eruption of actual magma mass is on the same order as the yearly mass of CO2 emitted by humans (some like 80billion tons of magma vs 30billio…

I was unaware of this protocol and it created a very confusing conversation with a customer. How does a name like this come into existence? "Ethernet" and "TCP/IP" had been around …
