Try it in Spice with realistic small resistances and inductance. Every electrical engineer is taught, in basic theory: The voltage on a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. The current in an inductor cannot change instantaneously. Th

I actually actively ignore this kind of marketing aesthetic. It screams lightweight, throwaway, fake. I’m probably wrong sometimes.

Oh, yes indeed. And to properly shield it costs an order of magnitude more than the laser itself.

Here’s how to read this post. “Any atmospheric pressure linear spark with a field greater than about 10kV/cm will show stimulated emission from nitrogen.” This type of laser design is a well-known curiosity. It is not useful or reliab

Neither, it’s a question of inside, or semi-inside information.

“I haven't looked particularly close at it but I'm sure someone could spot why mine is almost 2x as slow.” Isn’t that the whole point?

Since I was a teenager, if someone energetically asserts a statement is “true” or “false,” I drop the true or false and evaluate the statement. In essence, their only communication to me is, ‘I think this is important!’ Often, why they thi

No it’s not. Parabolic antennas work well for a single particular parallel input beam. That’s why they’re on gimbals, and directed at the anticipated direction, or scanned back and forth. Here, he is attempting to image many different pa

Red Auerbach knew something in real life. If you bend the whole rim downward, even a little bit, it becomes a “sewer,” pro just-miss shots start going in. He would check the baskets, before each game, to make sure this wasn’t being used ag

I have a loaded 2015 MacBook Pro. My wife insisted on it - we felt flush at the time. It spends 6 months unused, and six months as a desktop, plugged in. But if you go to use it mobiley, the battery life is about 40 minutes.

No no no! Using noise is useless without hysteresis. You must have a process, built in, which prevents re-decision or waffling for a time sufficient that conditions are so changed as to eliminate the original decision. Once you stop, you

In actual practice, do you think he’s right?

My argument doesn’t particularly rely on the market mechanism per se, but rather, an estimate of the probability that something gets overlooked, or not tried.

I’ve made similar arguments. I have a term for them, “economic reasoning.” The argument is basically that economic forces, from greed and survival to the basic underlying technical capabilities available would have ALREADY caused a propos
