Finding someone lost in the ocean is a huge challenge but wouldn't we expect a boarding team to be well prepared for this sort of thing? Don't they carry locator beacons, radios, f…

Hopefully this will just get better and better as charging networks improve, as batteries improve, and charging technology improves. We're already seeing some good steps in all the…

This is such a really important comment. I feel like so much of our discourse as a society suffers terribly from overloaded and oversimplified terminology. It's impossible to have …

That's kind of handy as a simple display/browser sanity test. It's very easy to see little processor hiccups on a busy machine.

Low-power is great but running a big RAID long-term without ECC gives me the heebee jeebies! Any good solutions for a similar system but more robust over 5+ years?

This is where I need to be eventually. I'm hesitant because I'm worried that I won't find any competent installers in my area and I'll end up with leaks, polluted well water, etc..…

PGPR is polyglycerol polyricinoleate -- an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids. It's used to modify the flowability of molten chocolate and is typically less than 1/2 per…

From the article it looks like there were 5 different executives overseeing the project during an approximately 4-year time frame. This sounds like a management failure to me rathe…

The theory seems to be that a voltage spike can mangle an ADC re-calibration which results in large "corrections" to the acceleration position sensor resulting in unintended accele…

So cool I'm going to have to go play with the PDP-11/15 in my basement to get my old hardware jones on. This video of building a custom Apollo electroluminescent glass panel DSKY d…

I think the algae is great but this also shows how very, very little power you need for small embedded devices these days. You could probably run this CPU off of almost anything. M…

From the paper: "Throughout the test, the Arm Cortex-M0+ processor drew an average current from the compact Al-BPV of 1.4±0.4 μA with a voltage of 0.72±0.14 V. ... As the average p…

Here's the PDF of the paper: https://www.cell.com/iscience/pdf/S2589-0042(22)02189-7.pdf Lot's of interesting stuff -- especially how they coordinate their searches (perhaps with t…

Marketing says we'll make a fortune with ads on a big screen! Plus we can upsell related products and charging packages!

A huge amount of the work that all of us do is, in fact, duplicating stuff that's already been done by someone at some point. This isn't just curiosity, it's also a big part of lea…

Have you tried working standing for a few weeks? It's not for everyone. Prop your desk up on some milk crates or something and give it a go before you consider an expensive buy.

Another take from wikipedia: "In 1999, the Nobel prize winning physicist Philip Warren Anderson said he is "sure that it's a fraud",[12] and in the same year another Nobel prize wi…
