This is blatantly untrue: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/Fig2_Gro...

Doubles are precise to 1E-16, and the most precisely known fundamental constants have uncertainties on the 1E-12 level. This does not give a comfortable headroom, so the CODATA adj…

That's not true. Digital movie cameras have a few stops more dynamic range than any analog film or the human eye. Of course this doesn't really matter since analog projectors are a…

IMHO, the only reasons for using 70 mm IMAX are nostalgia and marketing. Digital movie cameras have far better color reproduction, more dynamic range, zero frame jitter, and plenty…

Bohmian mechanics is nonrelativistic, so it has been "falsified" since its inception. It generally makes identical predictions to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (i.e. the Schröd…

I once has the displeasure of using a SoftBank SIM in Japan which relentlessly spammed my phone with unblockable ads. The continuing survival of this company is proof that billiona…

With smaller reactors, one needs more of everything: reactor vessels, containment structures, cooling systems, generators, etc. This is why industrial facilities are usually built …

That would poison the entire country. Nuclear waste is many many orders of magnitude more radioactive than coal per energy generated. The meme about coal emitting more radiation co…

Like most industrial sites, large reactors are much more economical than small ones. This is why nobody has built SMRs since the 1950s.

Competing with four free GNSS constellations is an interesting business model for sure...

GNSS receivers are passive devices that receive beacons broadcasted from the satellites. It's technically impossible to spy on someone with GNSS.

With nuclear energy, you are dependent on whoever has uranium. This is not a theoretical risk, and already has political and economic consequences for the few countries with a larg…

The SVP campaign in favor of the initiative was something else. Half the country is plastered with their posters, and social media is full of astroturfing. It didn't pay off this t…

I recently had a document break because I used umlauts together with the subfigs package. Apparently both use " characters internally and clash badly. This is not a particularly ex…

The original iPhone was genuinely terrible. A 2006 Nokia could surf the web on the go and tell you where you are. The iPhone could do neither, since Apple did not include a 3G mode…

Coal is much cheaper than gas.

No, AMD wants to collect some rent from people running Vivado in CI/CD environments.

Vivado is an IDE for programming AMD FPGAs. One cannot use it without buying AMD hardware.

The roundtrip time is measured and compensated. Even NTP does this. Knowing the distance is not necessary for time synchronization.

The users are paying plenty of money for AMD FPGAs.

This is terrible news for university users trying to professionalize their FPGA development with CI/CD. Which is probably the point of the change.

I don't get the point. The model has presumably been trained on all public GitHub code, so the evaluation is tainted anyway.

At that point you can just pre-share a key and use AES.

Chernobyl was supposed to be an economically viable means of generating electricity. Comparing a tiny billion-dollar submarine reactor to a power plant simply doesn't make any sens…
