Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over wake losses. Let's get some figures: * From their own study: the cumulative wake loss impact of four new wind farms in the Irish Sea on O…

The 50GHz or 20ps figure is actually the limit of the gear the scientists had available - from the paper at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6463/ad9284/... "the sig…

I got the impression that "faster" refers to potential bandwidth, as the device responds to shorter wavelengths (300nm to 1.6nm) than other photodetectors. Shorter wavelengths mean…

Straight out of the playbook from Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time: https://gist.github.com/timvisee/fcda9bbdff88d45cc9061606b4b...

That format is really nice! I regret to say it but I found what looks like a typo - you've got "automcomplete" where I think you mean "autocomplete". I hope this helps improve your…

Addressed directly in TFA: "Drawing out the interview process is a thinly veiled attempt to launder this bias with a "neutral" process that they will likely disregard/overrule if i…

Fortunately the accelerometer is a very low-power service. There shouldn't be much magic required, simply a threshold for accelerometer activation similar to drop detection. This s…

Your description almost exactly matches the Maverick solar array produced by the Aussie company 5b ( https://5b.co/ ) - you are definitely on to something. Factory assembly and fie…

Electric motors do get warm during operation, it is no surprise that some form of cooling fluid is desirable as the weight/power horizons are explored across the EV fleet. This art…

There's an important difference between prediction and detection . If you're in a nontrivial earthquake, detection isn't helpful: You already know it's happening. The challenge is …

So many people missing the point of 1:1s. They help to build a trust relationship between two people so that when there is something difficult to discuss, that conversation can hap…

Best comment award! The point of doing these toy simulations, easily done on classical computers, is to understand the quantum circuits that calculate molecular behavior so that wh…

I believe the article makes a fundamental mistake with its inferred description of democracy. In a healthy democratic system there is not just one single central authority to which…

Outstanding comment! Bound to fly over the head of some in HN.

There has been a UK Code of Practice since 2019, PAS 1881:2020 and PAS 1883:2020. Companies like Oxbotica are already assessed under these standards. See https://www.oxbotica.com/i…

For monitor replacements there are already dedicated devices. Lenovo ThinkReality glasses for example: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/thinkrealitya3

"Burn it all and filter" is basically pyrolysis - use high temperatures to break chemical bonds and turn complex substances into much simpler substances which can then be reused. P…

Grinding the blades to use as filler is indeed one of the downcycling routes currently in use for old blades. It is energy intensive and there is limited demand for the filler beca…

That source would be from the bp statistical review of world energy, a widely quoted and surprisingly impartial collection of energy statistics. Charts and stats from that annual p…

You can confidently bet that James Patterson's team is already using GPT3. For better or worse, he has been the Henry Ford of novel production and modern technology like GPT3 is ex…

OMG look at the Y axis scale of the graphs. Everyone else is 0-1000+ (often 0-2000), Magnus Carlsen's graph scale is 0-200.
