Nit: RJ11 has two contacts. RJ11, RJ14 and RJ25 all used the same 6P housing though, making them 6P2C, 6P4C and 6P6C connectors, respectively. Things sold as RJ11 is often 6P4C, making for another error. The rule of thumb is that anything r

RJ45 is a mechanically (slightly) different connector, but indeed all RJ specs were for phone lines, with RJ45 focused on several lines for high speed modem connections. The regular ethernet 8P8C connector was defined by both an ANSI and IS

Diverse, yes - but I wouldn't call it popular as a means of making regular financial transaction. I would certainly only use it as last resort. Too slow, too cumbersome, most of the benefits being overstated or misunderstood. Even in t

The part of Reddit I go to is roughly equal parts memes, serious discussions and derailed threads. Here I feel like I just lost the first part, so 50/50 between serious discussions and derailed threads. Either is moderated to be withou

I'm being sarcastic because Hacker News itself, and more generally Reddit, fits that exact description.

So a feed of links, videos, pictures or text shared by people that others could somehow vote on emphasize popularity, showing the most voted content on some form of easily accessible landing page... I feel like I have heard this idea before

You need to collect data and run the weather models, which for good ones could require a lot of continuous compute resources.

You are not providing any relevant information. The question wasn't if io_uring could have issues, but whether Jens was hiding vulnerabilities revealed by his own implementation of ls by removing it . Which is absolutely not the case,

A border router does not provide internet connectivity. A border router is used to bridge e.g. Thread networks onto a regular IP network so that your non-Thread smartphone can talk to it, and so Matter devices on different network types can

To be clear, this is the same organization that developed Zigbee, which requires paid certification - without, you're not allowed to say the product supports Zigbee or to use the Zigbee logo. You can connect devices without this, it j

Matter doesn't need internet access, it's an entirely local protocol even when you integrate to other vendor ecosystems. Now, something like Google Home might decide to go online to talk to a Google Home Hub device, which is where

Anything with a pattern is by definition not noise, and the comment was that noise had signal. If you remove all noise , no signal or pattern is lost by definition. However, the issue is that lossy compression removes various types of minu
261.
by arghwhat 1y ago
Definitely, but that's a result of compressing (with any algorithm) past a bitrate that would allow detail to be retained with high frequency details including noise being the first to go, not the result of noise having signal as was
262.
by arghwhat 1y ago
The noise does not contain a signal, does not dance over it, and is not detail. It is purely random fluctuations that are added to a signal. If you have a few static frames and average them, you improve SNR by retaining the unchanged si

The tricky part isn't getting signal strength in the cabin, it's managing a cabin full of devices trying to talk using a technology that only allows one radio to talk at any given time. You need many very low power base stations a
