Application of the Method of Moments to solve full wave formulation of Maxwell's equations. To derive the EFIE using maxwell's equations is a massive pain. With geometric algebra, …

Commission your own solar and battery system. There is no reason to be a renter anymore. Stop giving other people power over you. Search hybrid inverter and rack mount batteries.

True, however apple makes the overwhelming majority of the profit in the smartphone market.

The memory makers will not expand demand drastically. It is in the nature of their business to keep the market under-supplied, otherwise the following oversupply will kill them. In…

Photonics used in AI is different to what you would expect. I can't see photonics replace the transistor and VLSI stack of computers. For networking however, high bandwidth photoni…

No, burning models into hardware won't make them faster or reduce the cost. It will cost way more for similar performance as what you would get with a gpu. I am not telling you why…

> The fact that these high prices are caused by an actual lack of resources and that the higher prices are driving a reallocation of resources to those who need them most (ie. most…

These small proxy wars are irrelevant. Scrappy drones are only used because that is all these small countries can produce. For superpowers, the goal isn't to stockpile mediocre equ…

In China, engineers hold the most power, yet the country prospers. I don't think the problem is giving engineers power, rather a cultural thing. In china there is a general feeling…
