    You're right the kernel might be able to handle that pretty quickly, but I know from experience even good, ~200Hz sampling captouch system is 1/200 = 5ms worst case, 2.5ms avg. Tha…

    Turns out the SSD was load-bearing.

    For an article about the origins of Alexa / Echo, it seems a pretty glaring omission to completely skip over the organization that actually designed / made the hardware. That, for …

    That $1000/kg figure is reprocessing something like 10kg of material to get 1kg of enriched material. Current costs to launch a kg to orbit are something like $2,000-$6,000. If we'…

    On the other hand, I used to have an automatic open garbage can. Absolutely hated it. Ended up replacing with a foot operated one. The benefits were: * Never ran out of batteries *…

    Ah, I think you're correct. Although the watts per square meter still don't make sense.

    Many questions. A couple: * 1m² = 1x2m? 4m² = 2x4m? etc. I'm confused by this. * Why 25 m² (5x10 m) = 20.8kW, but 100 m² (10x20 m) = 62.4kW? 4x the size in m², but only ~3x the pow…

    Yep -- I've gotten multiple postcards in the mail and/or product box after ordering something telling me I'd get ~$5-$10 if I left a 5 star review. They thoughtfully included exact…

    In VR, it's well known that your peripheral vision is a cue to your brain to infer motion direction. You can give yourself serious motion sickness in VR if you grab hold of the VR …

    Yep. Most people aren't in a quiet environment when they listen to music these days. Compression helps significantly with this. What would be neat would be to have a compression me…

    While that's pithy, I think it's also incorrect, because it implies that Oracle / Ellison is controllable by us, in the same way a tool / lawnmower is. That's absolutely not true. …

    I think if it conflicts with a CMD command it's not shipped, but if it conflicts with a powershell command it's ok.

    Of course. LLMS still have huge weaknesses in distinguishing between incoming unsanitized data, and their operating instructions. It's still malware though. Unlike some backdoor th…

    Agreed. For such low frequency stuff, it feels way safer to just buy a cheap Also, float the DUT, not the scope... Sometimes that's not possible, and the temptation is there, but i…

    I'm curious about the units -- watts doesn't really seem right. It seems like joules would make more sense, right?

    I think you could alter the prompt in subtle ways; a period goes to an ellipses, extra commas, synonyms, occasional double-spaces, etc. Enough that the prompt is different at a tok…

    The point of a benchmark is that it allows a relative comparison. The Pelican is one such benchmark. Feel free to create a "how does it compare to Claude 3.5 Sonnet" benchmark. If …
