It's an appealing narrative but Kessler Syndrome is something that would stand in the way of Musk's primary mission of getting us set up on Mars. So even if one holds the belief that he is highly profit motivated beyond the scope

I thought similarly - this is true if we can have lossless knowledge transfer. I imagine we would have to put what is learned into practice before translating it into distributed knowledge for a US fab workforce.

They are indeed, in Arizona. First they are going to have employees train on-site in Taiwan (will get housing for themselves and their families for duration).

Maybe the Glengarry Glen Ross "closing" scene would have a positive impact on me and get me fired up if the profession was something in tech, at a company whose mission I cared about. Otherwise, as the article mentions, I do indee

A well-thought out use of the scientific method to prove, in a way, that nurture is more a more advanced tool for change than nature is.

In an excessive heat wave, blizzard/ice storm, other severe inclement weather events being able to power homes directly is frankly all of the points. Out of all the users of energy that you listed perhaps the industrial sector is worth

I think a highly useful metric would be how many homes this battery installation could power alone for a one day period.

by datameta 5y ago
Precisely. New renewable energy installations should replace the worst offenders not the other clean energy generation infrastructure. There was an article on HN a few days ago about how the 5% most polluting power plants pollute as much as

More of an account of reading the book titled as such, rather than a tutorial-style article. Still a good book recommendation, I think.

Nevertheless is hauling the extra diesel more economical and environmentally sound than hauling the PV equipment?

Indeed! Interesting. According to wikipedia it may have been a feedback loop primarily in the direction of the car. > The bicycle's invention has had an enormous effect on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern in

Perhaps Spot from Boston Dynamic is a more fair SotA comparison. Though even then, the magnitude of scale is off and still the gulf in ability is wide. I wonder how our artificial insects stack up in comparison to organic ones computational

On some level it is also a huge insult from Russia by leaving just enough bread crumbs, intentionally or not, to essentially say "look, we're doing this and getting away with it; else we're not doing it". And it is part

Without a reference handy to back this statement up I think there may indeed be epigenetic changes. Perhaps even more pronounced would be the experience of the mother in hotter environments during pregnancy.

The vast majority of the world is not accustomed to a car-forward culture like the slowly decreasing majority of the U.S. is.

One did not have to lead from the front line to expand territory. But I will grant you that many a ruler certainly wished to be perceived as having an iron will. These people would have had monikers such as "the Great" or "th

There was a lot more grey area than you make it out to be. There were certainly plenty of kings/czars/emirs/sultans/khagans/emperors etc that ruled exclusively from the comforts of their estates.

Why is this the order it must be in? The order of wavelengths of light passing would be: green -> blue -> red ? Doesn't make intuitive sense to me. Can you explain?

The first chapter of The Sound Book by Trevor Cox goes into great detail about this (but without getting deep into the math of it). Well worth the read for those interested in the acoustics of architecture and our perception of how it modif

I had all these concerns prior to this announcement. I wouldn't say all of those are now gone. However I must point out that the vaccine, at least in the US, is not being hoarded by the elite and wealthy. It is in most urban areas bein

What works better for me is to try to do it every day in small amounts rather than herculean efforts a few times a week. As others have mentioned, spaced repetition is key. A habit is much easier to use for learning than just the constant r

Sure, that's valid. I takes most things the Russian gov says with a grain of salt but we shouldn't always question everything because that is their prime tactic of control - simultaneous information and disinformation.

I suppose I went a bit overboard (no pun intended). 1 KB implementation should be more than enough for their precision. Maybe some code then, instead: https://www.dwitter.net/d/20446
