The microinverter just turns itself off if it doesn’t detect line voltage in the outlet. In the U.S. evidently it’s required to also have some sort of backflow preventer in the panel as well.

Apple restricts this as part of the location services permission though, and to clarify, it’s always happened very shortly after touchdown, just as we started to taxi, where probably the terminal WiFi is not in range. After thinking about i

Slightly off topic, but Lyft has really creeped me out recently. The last three times I’ve landed at SFO, I’ve gotten a push notification on my iPhone from Lyft saying “welcome to SFO, get a Lyft.” It’s always come as we were taxiing to t

There's no camera that can match the dynamic range of a decent pair of eyes. Some of this is due to active control of the iris at fairly high speed, so you can argue about whether it's the eye or the brain, but the overall result

Your eyes and your visual system are much higher performance than any camera and computer currently available for the task of driving. Tesla also has far from the best available hardware, both in cameras and compute. Still, even with this

Maybe antineutrinos. There has been a fair bit of work on detectors in the past couple of decades.

It’s like saying “guns don’t kill people, people do.” Ok, but guns make it a lot easier and they amplify existing problems. With scalable technology, it’s more like “nuclear weapons don’t kill people, people do.”

One thing I’ve been very curious about along these lines is troposcatter systems. These, depending on the bandwidth, power, and antenna size available, should allow you to get tens to hundreds of megabits over up to hundreds of miles with

There are a lot of videos Waymo has posted of split second swerves they’ve had to do in SF and Austin. It looked to me like a combination of hard braking and swerving could have avoided the collision. Now to be fair to Tesla, the dummies

Prior to the eighties, if you put out something sufficiently noxious or unbalanced on broadcast media, you could have the FCC come visit you and threaten to revoke your broadcast license. The broadcast license was required to be used in th

Likewise that Elon can say Trump is “ungrateful” that be received $150 million in campaign donations because he withdrew the nomination for Elon’s NASA administrator. It’s just open bribery.

Regular sportsbooks (i.e. non-exchange, they're making the market) don't necessarily want the "liquidity." At least many years ago when I was doing this professionally, there were "sharp books" and "squar

It’s easier and safer to make that flight if you can stop somewhere in the Russian far far east. Most people these days take the southern route through Hawaii, but the problem is that Hawaii-California is about 2300 miles, and not that man

The point of the article is that many very successful apps don't pay Apple for access to their market. You can sell anything that's not "digital goods" and Apple gets nothing, but if what you're selling is "di

Naturally I'm sure Grok reads the terms of service on every website it scrapes and doesn't use content from sites that prohibit it.

It was actually Richarda Morrow-Tait, according to the Amelia Erhart criteria, i.e. a male navigator is allowed. Similarly no one had ever heard of Albert Cushing Read, Walter Hinton, or Elmer Fowler Stone, the first men to fly the Atlant

This is not true. In the condition of a failed AoA vane like on the two accident flights, there is no way to enable the trim thumb switches and disable MCAS. You either get no electric trim and no MCAS or you get both. If you happened to

The publicity machine is pretty amazing. There are hundreds of books about Amelia Erhart and probably hundreds of thousands of girls and women named Amelia, but who even knows the name of the first woman to fly around the world?

IMO Python used to be a great first language, but it's gotten much more complicated over the years. When I'm teaching programming, I want an absolute minimum number of things where I have to say "don't worry about that,

Personally way back when, I first learned BASIC, then tried to learn C, but didn't get pointers, then learned ASM, and then pointers became obvious, and went back to C. If you're going to be using C or doing anything with hardwar

In my experience a big part of the problem is specialists. I remember many years ago people were saying that we shouldn't go to a Canadian style single-payer system because Canadians had rationed care and they had to wait six months f

This is the paradox. The computer knows the best route, better than you do, most of the time. But, you are not in control anymore. You are not the one making the decisions, figuring out where the turn is, and whether you want to turn the
