There’s an excellent Radiolab episode that ends with a similar story of someone on TPN. If you found this interesting, it’s worth a listen. https://radiolab.org/podcast/197112-guts

A former colleague of mine works at Humane as an engineer, and the laser tech is apparently closely guarded. They were reluctant to even give a demo when we ran into each other, stating that the laser tech was particularly sensitive topic.

Single transistors in modern processes switch currents orders of magnitude lower than milliamps. More like micro- to picoamps. There's leakage to account for too as features get smaller and smaller due to tunneling and other effects, b

My dad said the stars in Raja Ampat were incredible — he was on a dive trip there, and was really out in the middle of nowhere at night on a boat. My girlfriend and I had a similar experience at Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. We went

I've seen it happen while the plane is at the gate. The pilots usually have the door open, and you can go up and talk to them. Worst case they say no, so its worth an ask. Somewhere I still have a Delta wing pin from a trip I took as a

To be fair, these rights extend in both directions. This may seem extreme from an employer -> employee direction, but I have the right to do the same in reverse: I could call my manager at 8:30AM tomorrow morning and quit on the spot wit

Hello fellow Alamedan! AMP is great — very grateful for a little abstraction between us an PG&E, despite it being all the same at the end of the day...

This car is everything that I love about my 2015 Honda Fit, and I'm happy to see another manufacturer filling the void since the Fit's discontinuation. While I am about to trade it in and get a truck, I have absolutely loved havin

I have the same set of experiences. It is incredibly frustrating to both myself and my doctors since I have a family history of high blood pressure, and it is impossible for me to get a baseline measurement. Only time I have ever had normal

Historically, I've only casually listened to the genre through friends or events. However, watching this show gave me such a new appreciation for the stories of the performers, the inspiration for their music, where the different style

One of the reddit comments calls out this is an inaccurate reading of the TOS: > Y’all are some paranoid weirdos. The reason the company responded to OP’s question that way is because OP didn’t understand the TOS. > “User Contribution

I would like to understand why this is a problem? Objectively, they ran the lottery, distributed the permits, and charged a fee to do so. What is your objection specifically? I don't intend to passively inject an opinion — just trying

I had success with having it guess the formatting, which was a pretty cool experiment. I had a table in a PDF of registers and associated information, and I copied and pasted the text directly into ChatGPT as a big block, and asked it to st

I think the OP is referring to the financing options available for larger hardware purchases, which is separate from this program. I bought my M1 MBP using the financing they offer and it was 24 months, no interest, _and_ you do get the 3%

Kenji has a recipe [0] for this method but using a tortilla instead of pizza dough. At first glance I was skeptical it would be any good, but it's turned out to be a fantastic low-effort way to make a "pizza" when you are cra

I used one of these for about a year on my PiHole, but switched to a standard UPS because the hat's LiPo started bulging from all the heat generated by the Pi's processor. The hat is a great idea in principle, but because the batt

The multipliers in CPUs are a mass of logic gates and are challenging to make work in a single cycle. While I believe it is possible with integer multiplication to do so, doing so with other larger data types might take multiple cycles. Div

This is dismissive and incorrect. iFixIt, the authors of this piece, provide everything someone needs to do such a replacement: tools, parts, and in-depth user guides. I've replaced an older-generation MacBook's battery using thei
