I'd be very surprised if we saw oxygen. Photosynthesis took much longer to evolve on Earth than life did in the first place, and on Enceladus you have both a thick layer of ice preventing sunlight from reaching liquid water and also a

Level 2 and 3 automation are just not something you can reasonably expect humans to be able to participate in. If you're not providing input you're not going to be paying enough attention. https://www.synopsys.com&#x2F

It's actually a lot better than it used to be. You wouldn't see a situation where beta blockers were available in Europe a decade ahead of the US nowadays.

In 2020 the FDA wanted people developing tests for Covid-19 to get some SARS to make sure their test didn't accidentally show a false positive when SARS was present. But of course there was no way the CDC was going to hand out SARS to

If the quantities of Lithium need are going to keep going up its better that speculators big up the prices to high levels now than that manufacturers bid up the levels to crazy high later. High prices get people who don't need as much

That's something that's started changing over the last few months. Official support for the RX 7900 GPUs for Linux has been added to the most recent versions of ROCm and over on the ROCm subreddit people are reporting success get

The things is you can actually run Stable Diffusion. And I got PyTorch working on my AMD 7900 XT graphics card recently, though it was a bit of a hassle to do so.

Generally any neighborhood meeting will also have people providing input that more units will cause more traffic so could the developer please create fewer, more expensive units?

That's not a problem. The fraction of unoccupied units in the Boston area is tiny compared to places with more affordable housing.

LUCA[1] almost certainly didn't care about day/night cycles, so it seems accurate. And even if it had, the ways in which a modern mammal with a central nervous system cares are new changes brought on by the day-night cycle. An o

One of the generally accepted reasons why its hard to get graphics companies to open source their drives has always been that everybody is violating everybody else's patents. And while everybody knows this making it too obvious is a l

A million element square matrix is a lot of data. To process that in a second is much more bandwidth than a single socket can support, so you'll need many sockets too.

Nowadays AI chips are specialized in not just vector multiplication but matrix multiplication. Just as moving from scalar math to vectors brings savings in control and routing logic, moving from vector to matrix does the same. Taking a res

Whether or not MicroSoft has a winnable case, often "the process is the punishment" in cases like these and its easy to threaten a long, drawn-out, and expensive legal fight.

This has been a rather apt demonstration of the way that auctoritas/authority/prestige/charisma can carry the day regardless of where the formal authority might be.

Normally robotic arms are either cobot arms or industrial arms. A cobot is relatively safe to be around. They're meant to work with humans nearby so generally you'd have to be both inattentive and unlucky to get an injury that ne

Normally a manufacturing process is doing well if 90% of the chips on a wafer are usable. Carbon nanotube based circuits manufacture are doing well if 90% of transistors were working. That needs to be solved before they're practical.

It's a great book but one sided in its analysis. I'd recommend pairing it with a book about a case where High Modernism worked great, like The Ghost Map or something. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/

The Hexagon DSPs in Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC line are VLIWs. Also, NVidia used some cores from the Transmeta lineage in some of its mobile SoCs for application cores. There was a program that ran on them that automatically rewrote A
