I think one of the reasons for this is to have very high throughput charging stations in dense urban areas (like central Beijing).

> "we have to cater to what 96% of users know" Indeed. Just recently saw a talk "Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever? | Ubuntu Summit 25.10" ( https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Jonathan McDowell keeps track of all the Starlink Sat orbits, including failures: https://planet4589.org/space/con/star/stats.html

Don't confuse launch _price_ with launch _cost_. It's been estimated the internal F9 launch costs are around $15M-$20M. The $5M is a marginal cost-target for fully reusable Starshi…

Quite helpful infographics from ULA: https://blog.ulalaunch.com/hubfs/orbital%20debris.jpeg

Well, divide et impera. Fairly straightforward for AI inference (not training): The existing Starlink constellation: 3491 V1 sats × 22.68 m² = 79176 m² 5856 V2-mini sats × 104.96 m…

Ideally, in an organization this should be a centrally pushed group policy defining CIDRs. Like, at home, I have 10/8 and public IPv6 addresses.

Yeah, I had to create a user on many language versions just to keep the old skin. I fail to see a point in wasting 2/3 of my screen estate to whitespace.

Having a 60 days consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service whether a falling hot-stage ring (essentially dumb steel piece) causes danger to fish is just silly.

Have multiple explicit ones. One liberal, one conservative, one progressive...

Not the first case - It was Kodak who built the first digital camera after all.

NTR is a very inefficient use of nuclear fuel. What you want is a NSWR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_salt-water_rocket A true nuclear rocket. Just like a chemical rocket i…

Sun wanted to do the same thing in late 90ties - picoJAVA (embedded), microJava and UltraJava (VLIW workstations). Relegated to the dustbin of history.

It can be - the allocator just needs to mmap() different bucket pools to different base addresses.

In May SpaceX reported they have 1.5M subscribers. At $100/month, that's $1.8B/year revenue. Not bad.

Impulse Labs, a startup, is doing lithium-backed kitchen stoves. Claims to heat-up 1L of water in ~40secs. That's at least 8.6kW. https://twitter.com/sdamico/status/159255361187967…

The 400V is between phases. 230V is between a phase and ground. Ie, you get 3 wires (phases) of 230V from the 400V connection. Btw, Europe standardized at 230/400V in the nineties.…

>That's where we're at: Just randomly select some parameters until the data fits, and lo and behold, it fits. When I read that it felt like a Monte-Carlo simulation. A legit approa…
