I would nitpick that it needs to be correctly orientated such that it's perpendicular to the horizon. This is of course convenient to do but is important when placing your own smaller antennas vs say putting them at off angles or paral

Thanks for the correction, a dipole has more of a doughnut radiation pattern vs the perfect sphere of an isotropic giving directionality perpendicular to the antenna. A theoretical perfect dipole has 2.15 dBi gain over the perfect theoretic
453.
by SigmundA 4y ago
So its not actually a 1MW transmitter, its 330KW, but since the antenna is not omni and somewhat directional, it has 1MW "Effective Radiated Power". Which really means how much power it would need to have if it was a true omni ant

Well guess I can't buy a empty lot in a forested area and use an irradiance map to calculate how much solar capacity I would have with my plans, nor can I lookup my Starlink coverage with the FCC map because according to you that would

Solar doesn't deliver to a wooded property either, doesn't mean the solar maps are bullshit. You can cut trees down if you want satellite or solar, this is not impossible to do. You can dig a trench to run fiber from the road, but

That's like saying it's bullshit because you have to put up a pole or dig a trench to get a wire from the road to your house to get fiber. Or that solar irradiance maps are bullshit because you have trees. The provider gets the se

Unified memory using high bandwidth buses to support both GPU and CPU and the rest. I believe Apple uses very specific LPDDR5 packages then the pro and max have 2x and 4x buses so you need that many packages. This is why the M1 comes in 8GB

I have masonry walls in FL, US but with little insulation since my house was built in the 1950's. Masonry is pretty common in the US especially on the first floor. My house has a lot of thermal mass so the sun will shine all day on the

Sorry if this is hard to believe, you are saying the temperature doesn't swing more than a few degrees between full sun at 30 degrees and no sun all night at 17 degrees. Your house is losing heat constantly something must replace it, t

So what's the temp inside at early morning before sunrise? The video shows 65 degrees inside with the sun out in 30 degrees weather, not 17 degrees at night with no sun all night. Don't get me wrong, this walls and roof with lots

I believe HPCVC charging is targeting up to 3 Megawatts for heavy vehicles 1500V X 2000A. This would allow a megawatt hour battery to charge in 20 minutes, still not as good a diesel pump which is probably closer to 6-10MW equivalent, I kno

Thanks for pointing me towards the Pi Juice "intelligent on/off" that makes things more clear, looks like it has a Cortex M0 microcontroller with RTC that can be programmed to wake at a specific time [1]. The Pi Juice is a re

Mentions battery life but does not say in the end how long between recharges with the 12000mah battery. Would really like to know power usage and how long between charges and more details about getting the pi to wake up once a day then slee

Reminds me of https://github.com/gliffy/canvas2svg at a different level of abstraction. I believe PDF.js incorporated some form canvas2svg to try and get a SVG backend working which would allow high resolution printing

Is it a modern diesel with DPF and SCR? The smell from the exhaust of my 2021 6.7 liter cummins diesel motorhome is actually almost undetectable to me while my 2016 V10 gas motorhome had a very noticeable smell. Perhaps the diesel is not UL

Dieselgate was trying to avoid using DEF claiming you could get compliant NOx output without it [1]. You can if you reduce power and efficiency during the test cycle, if you want good power and efficiency while having compliant NOx output y

by SigmundA 4y ago
Diesel is more efficient than gas as far as MPG, so CO2 is actually less per mile, NOx and particulates should be equivalent on a modern diesel with DPF and DEF SCR.

I would hope this means it soon be native Apple Silicon on Mac soon since all the hard work porting to ARM is done. Runs fine through rosetta on my M1 Pro but would be nice for larger maps and power efficiency.

I was that way for a long time, but the Apple TV remote got me using it and I now occasionally do use it on my iPhone, mainly while driving to play music on reply to texts. Definitely has come a long way and is useful, one of my friends nev

It is an issue when your parked off grid and run off battery, 90w is significant. My 5G router with wifi 6 pulls under 10w direct 12v DC. It looks like the flat dish is actually 110-150w and requires AC power, so not great for off grid usag

I still look forward to RUM indexes [1] getting integrated into PG which would build the foundation for better ranking functions such as TF/IDF or BM25. PG seems to lag behind here and hasn't be a lot of movement in a while 1. ht

Which is just managed PG Citus with the word Cosmos in the name it seems.

Sounds like its just managed Citus/PG and has little or nothing to do with Cosmos DB. MS is so bad a branding and naming products.

Maybe this will make it easier to port to native Apple silicon since the Switch is ARM based. It runs well on my M1 Mac Pro through Rosetta but would be nice to improve CPU usage even more so.

I have always had that take with Factorio and thought it was sublime like the rest of the game. It resonates with modern life for me, the factory must always grow (growth mindset) at the expense of everything else, all this wonderful automa

My grandfather was an early HAM radio operator and TV engineer, my dad still has some of his old equipment and the tuning dials are in cycles rather hertz, I grew up hearing him say kilocycle and megacycle.

Cancer death rates are going down [1], which to me means we are probably better at treating cancer but also probably finding it more often even when not life threatening and might have gone on unnoticed in an earlier time. Also we are getti

Interesting to contrast the contents of the Bible with rational thought summed up perfectly by Epicurious: Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he

Your position is an extreme, therefore you are extremist, this is simply a fact, very few people believe the second amendment gives citizens the right to bear nuclear arms. I am sorry if using the word extremist correctly hurts your feeling

by SigmundA 4y ago
You did not answer #1, do you believe the right to bear nuclear arms should be infringed? Can you answer? Yes this is a gotcha question, which is the point, the strict reading of the second amendment says "Arms" the whole point is
