18 O enriched water is available to buy but the pricing suggests it's quite expensive to separate 16 O from 18 O. And you get much less variability in the ratio of isotopes from mi…

Interesting but I can't deal with the AI generated prose. Sentences like "This was not a garment for walking between a carriage and a doorway. It was ..." show me no human has proo…

Yeah I couldn't get past so many issues in the AI generated illustrations. Not useful at all when they are completely wrong.

Yes I would imagine lots of those type of services would be vulnerable if they hadn't updated to the latest kernel versions.

Yes you can pin it to core 1 whilst pinning all other tasks to core 0. Then will never be interrupted or preempted (except by interrupts created on core 1)

The actual research paper shows it's pure nonsense https://cdn.skoda-storyboard.com/2026/04/Skoda-DuoBell-Resea... As expected ANC headphones cancel less noise at low frequencies s…

I don't understand why people get so hung up on Chrome using so much memory. A lot of this memory is "discardable" so will get dropped when the system is under memory pressure and …

Does the KV cache really grow to use more memory than the model weights? The reduction in overall RAM relies on the KV cache being a substantial proportion of the memory usage but …

This series of graphs https://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/387/bmj-2024-082194/F1.large... shows that whilst those two professions are at the bottom of the distribution they are not par…

Total receipts were over 11,000 so more like 100 hours or around $2000 so a similar price to the LLM.

This is good work. I wish branch predictor were better reverse engineered so CPU simulation could be improved. It would be much better to be able to accurately predict how software…

The memory overhead is fairly significant it uses between 1.5 and 3 times the space of the data stored.

Only 2 students actually used an LLM in his exam, one well and one poorly so I'm not sure there is much you can draw from this experience. In my experience LLMs can significantly s…

An interesting idea but in theory just three correct pass codes and some brute force will reveal the secret key so you'd have to be very careful about only inputting the pass code …

The energy comes from the metal electrodes not the potato. Potato is just an electrolyte carrying current between the cathode and anode.

Congratulations! Works amazingly well. Does it generate enough revenue to be self sustaining?

That 90,000 traces did take 225 hours to capture so it is truly a huge amount of data and not a trivial attack.

Thanks, good to know that I'm wrong!

Is it just me or does this have a familiar "edited by Chat GPT" feel to it? I can only take this chatty writing style in moderation but it seems everyone is using Chat GPT to edit …

Yeah as far as I can see all the companies that study EV batteries and provide degradation reports etc. all do so by using the data from the manufacturer. I would trust data about …

The ForTwo has two seats and no truck bed so it can have enough space for a crash structure in front of the driver. On top of that its NCAP rating expired in 2021 and it is no long…

There are smaller vehicles being sold but the distance from the front bumper to the driver's legs is much longer because they don't have a bed taking up space at the back.

The reason why we don't generally have vehicles this small any more is because they don't pass crash tests so I'm wondering how this fares in a crash test. I can't see any way this…
