One of the other issues is that we have very few dual expertise scientists/experts. Someone who is a domain expert in both battery manufacturing and AI, for example, needs to be the person in charge of using AI to predict battery probl

Yeah. I think for historical accuracy they should go ahead and add some cholera bacteria too. Why stop at removing chlorine?

Considering how rampant and meaningless HOAs are I am not really sure things are better here too. My co-worker here has been fighting a losing battle for the past year to get solar panels on his roof.

Whenever I hear the term “This is the way things have always been done” I always retort back, "If we had continued doing things as they have always been done, we would still be hunter-gatherers on the African savannah, and civilization

When I was a grad student at Penn State, we camped out at Cherry Springs and saw the milky way. It was humbling, and I recommend it to every person at least once in their life

LLVM could very well be thought of as major breakthrough. The intermediate representation format has enabled so many compiler and languages now, that it's pretty insane in my opinion.

Another great option and my current favorite is the Source Family from Adobe. They are open source and variable, and have a full family of Serif, Sans and Monospace fonts. https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif h

Years back, when Cracked used to be decent, there was an article by John Cheese, which I forget now, wrote the most profound sentence that I have ever read in my life: Anger is addictive .

True. Which is why what always puzzles me is that cities like Austin or Phoenix are gaining population. It's so hot there!

Lots. Many cities have running water for only a few hours a day. And there may often be only one tap per 100 people in densely populated slums.

I think at least two other more significant points are hidden in this article. 1) It has led to the rampant financialization of industries. Core competencies and domain knowledge have become less important than shareholder value. 2) It has

Aurora was supposed to be up and running in early 2018. It seems like that it won't be functional even in 2021. This is by the way, such an years long delay has never happened when it comes to US Leadership Computing Facilities. Intel,

Two reasons also. Some of the fastest research supercomputers in the US have been nVIDIA based. Sitting at a national lab, it's laughable how much more support there is from nVIDIA. Getting a DGX box is easy - there is nothing comparab

From what I got from reading the docs and the blog post, was that this is a competitor to torch.jit and numba.cuda.jit - write faster Pythonic GPGPU kernels without sacrificing speed.

The answer is also because hydrogen is insanely light. A propane molecule is much bigger in size than a H2 molecule - which makes hydrogen storage and handling uniquely difficult

The sobering answer is that fuel cells also need a lot of problematic minerals too for catalysts. The most widely used H2 fuel cell catalyst is PtCo - so you still have the same cobalt problem there too.
