Seems conceivable that this could come back to bite a manufacturer. For example, more cause for "safety recalls", or need to admit in testimony that a major assembly "had a known safety issue". Or might dealers be on the

FWIW, I find just looking at the world through binoculars can be consciousness-changing, as might be putting on glasses for the first time by someone with poor sight.

The last time I was monitored in an ER, I noticed an analog trace for respiration. I asked if this was done by some non-contact [impedance] method. I was told that some EKG chest electrodes also served to measure bulk resistance.

I've seen scattered comments that Russia has not yet targetted the highest-voltage transformers in Ukraine, for which stockpiling spares (as reported here) might not apply.

Yes, some power transistors place many smaller transistors or mosfets effectively in parallel. An early example AFAIK was the "hexfet" geometry (achieving a very wide width of short-length channels). I'd guess that precisely

About one bit (in binary equivalent) per naive iteration? Better with some linear interpolation (pseudo-Newton)? IIRC, before e.g. continued fraction representations/approximations became available, high precision estimates of pi were

Without multiplying non-integers, you could seek the square root of 200,000,000 using bisection. Sort of a "long ruler" story.

One informative aspect of the responses is in the rather high estimates of what constitutes "explaining to a six-year-old".

I understand wanting to use gaze as a UX convenience. Has there been work done on human-robot interaction where a person sees a screen to "see" what the robot sees and can point and click to name/identify objects of interest?

Is filtering incoming air (for a mix) necessarily the norm, though? Even in the rare high-performance homes built on spec[ulation], my sense is that filtering incoming air might be omitted, in favor of a single filter acting on recirculati

Many furnaces use third-party controller boards with well-known suppliers. You might find in the furnace manual that there are different wire-to-board permutations to allow different fan (interior recirculating blower) speeds. From home tes
