The APIs are mostly cross-platform now, and the SoCs are the same, so the main reason you wouldn't want to just copy a Mac app to the iPad is the touch input. If eye tracking is as…

Each rocket needs 33 for the booster and 6 for the ship, so thats still about 5 weeks for one, or 10 rockets per year. Will need a lot during development since reusability probably…

SLS can get about 27 tons to the moon, Falcon Heavy about 20 tons. Sure, redesigning the plans to handle splitting between two launches is time and money, but two falcon heavies is…

maybe they have a good relationship with their boss and communicate in ways that work for them and match the world we live in? does your boss still communicate with you in formal m…

it's your language, do whatever you want. unless you're forcing others to use that language, there's zero moral issue. obviously you could come up with a number of what-ifs where t…

one workaround for this is to turn off "Automatically join this network" for your office wifi and disconnect from it, but don't turn off Wifi entirely. That way it can still make d…

Adding the obligatory "what if M1" comment. Anandtech tested power draw of an M1 Mac Mini and found 4.2W at idle, 26.5W for the average multithreaded workload. 1/3rd idle power and…

jesus christ, yes. Elon didn't become a billionaire including assets until 2012, well after nasa awarded them the cargo contract and two years after Falcon 9 started launching. Bef…

performance cores are physically larger than the efficiency ones, by about 3-4x. I'm sure there are other tradeoffs cache size like too. So would you rather have 32 performance cor…

Ignoring the "0.9" satellites, this says 694 out of 713 launched so far are good. Is 97% success bad?

Didn't go too deep into it, but the AMD cpus being compared are different. Anandtech has an AWS-only EPYC 7571 (2 socket, 32 cores each, 2.5ghz), Phoronix has EPYC 7742 (1 socket, …

The "source code" zip has the same files as in the repo. No source.

Five Easy Steps to Becoming a 10x Commenter!

Unless your commute is >50 miles one-way, there's no need to charge at work unless its incredibly convenient. I use a standard wall plug to charge my Model 3 at home and still I'm …

Every time a page loads, there's a positive quote from one of his readers. This is part 4 of his 11 part series on Telsa. His About page is literally more cliches than not. Is this…

genuinely curious, like what? I think they're even more competitive up to speeds under 60. Are you saying quarter mile is just as important? Or that acceleration itself isn't every…

That was the explanation Elon gave via twitter: "Pana cell lines at Giga are only at ~24GWh/yr & have been a constraint on Model 3 output since July [...] Tesla won’t spend money o…

why would they? they have never faced any real consequences for doing this and it's insanely profitable.

support for iPhones, but they can't jump networks to whichever is strongest. still nice to have official support.

I wish there was something like this in postgres. tablefunc is a lot more complicated than this syntax.

you're describing Wirecutter and its many clones

This seems like a big deal. Assuming it could collect more than it needs to keep itself in orbit, it could refuel a tank and skip from atmospheric body to atmospheric body. Somethi…
