If you actually need to lose weight (which, statistically, most Americans do), in my experience you will be hungry at some point even with a pretty healthy diet. There’s just no way around the body’s response to a reasonable caloric deficit

Did you read the article and watch the video? He states (rightly) that the cores are somewhere in the “sea of gates mush”. You can’t tell visually where the cores are. And there’s so much more than just the cores in that blob of gates.

It’s 40nm, so the die area from the cores themselves is quite small. Most of the area is dedicated to RAM/ROM and IO. I’d guess the area for all the cores is less than 10% of total die.

In your hypothetical of it only costing a few dollars a year the economic savings just by not having children be sick even once would easily outweigh any downsides. Also, we already have this for many diseases. They’re proven and they work

There’s no ambiguity here. You own the 20 lb tanks. Now, after they expire most propane companies won’t refill them, but otherwise it’s yours to keep. You could argue that this isn’t actually “owning” it, but for all intents and purposes it

Very recently they forked hardware 4 and hardware 3 FSD versions… I wonder if they’re about to attempt to claim older HW3 capable vehicles can’t actually do “actual” FSD and only HW4 “can”. Or maybe only HW5. Either way, they’re gonna get a

I agree you won't get a total dud of a battery if you can swap it, but why would I exchange my brand new battery for one that could potentially have hundreds of thousands of miles on it and therefore the range isn't nearly as good

Are we talking about proper 'leases' on propane tanks (usually very large propane tanks, meant to be attached to the side of a house/business)? Or are you referring to the usual 20 lb tanks that are stored underneath grills?

Propane tanks are a weird comparison. You’re leasing the entire thing, and then paying only for fuel. It’s closer to leasing an entire vehicle. With battery leasing you’ve got a shell of a car you presumably pay for, and lease the battery.

You’re forgetting the dynamic that allows battery swapping to occur there. You’re essentially leasing access to the batteries. I suspect in many countries leasing part of the vehicle (ie the part that actually lets you go anywhere) is prett

Gardening leave typically is only salary, and doesn’t include extremely lucrative bonuses (that can exceed salary, sometimes by some multiples) in certain investment industries. So, it’s a pretty big hit to your income.

Spectrals are easily the best method. It’ll give you a subjective idea, but it’s never going to be truly perfect with lossy encodes. If you’re looking at FLAC then you can tell pretty easily if something is a lossy transcode, but otherwise

Most capacitors are drained heavily just by being unplugged for a short period of time, as the other poster mentioned. The other thing is that the capacitor would need to somehow be shorted to a component it wasn’t supposed to… instead of j

NI has a nickname in the industry: NI = No Income. Keep in mind, they're also HQ'd in Austin, TX, which is essentially the most expensive city in Texas.

Did you overlook the rest of my comment? Digikey et al can handle distribution, yes, and in some cases can offer minor applications assistance, but they are not the manufacturer and therefore do not have the domain expertise required to ade

The “average” SoC or the high end ones in flagships? Don’t be surprised at how much Qualcomm charges for their flagship stuff. Even if Qualcomm is a node behind, they also need their “margin” for making the thing. Apple pays a big design te

There’s no “forcing” chip manufacturers into exclusivity deals. Chip vendors want the business, and Apple wants stuff customized for them. Plenty of IP that can be used in general market parts, too. Also, I can guarantee you that there’s a

There’s gaps inbetween the walls and they add insulation as far as I know. Concrete by itself isn’t very insulative even with an air gap.

The comparison was a 120V 40A circuit. A 240V-20A socket would be more common than a 120V 50A socket. Both technically exist, but a 240V 20A outlet would be cheaper, safer, and more common. A 240V 20A outlet is actually somewhat common for

Please read the context again. If the only difference is oats vs finer ground oats, fiber would not be removed and nutrition content would be the same. Simply grinding up something doesn’t destroy its fiber content. If there’s additional pr

Or just run your PSU off 240V. Much more standard supply, and most switched mode supplies already support 240V. They’re typically more efficient, too.

Thermic effects of food are very marginal. Especially if you’re comparing something like oats and finely ground oatmeal instead of two wildly different foods like oats vs meat. I’d suspect the difference is at most 5%, likely much lower, wh

Your analogy with oats doesn’t really make sense. For the exact same amount of input material of oats vs oatmeal should result in the exact same nutritional outcome. The more processed version may potentially be less satiating, just like a

Why would this be easier to work with? 64 bit comes with additional costs that are mostly worthless for most applications, and toolchains around 32 bit are still plentiful. Most embedded interfaces are either 8 or 32 bit based today, too.

Just not true. Cheap coffee is already robusta anyways, and arabica is used in good quality decaf coffee. Even still, arabica is consistently used as a marketing bullet for coffee… even if there’s plenty of really really bad arabica coffee
