Again, that's less than the surface area needed for the solar panels, and the body of the satellite itself is included in that. As far as satellite design goes, the thermal design is easier than radiation hardening or vibration resista

They didn't mention it, because it's barely an inconvenience. Why does everyone seem to think it's super difficult? It's really easy to keep things cool in space. Radiant cooling is very effective when the background e

There was during the dot com bubble in 2000 and 2001, especially in California, where there also happened to be a power shortage and rolling blackouts.

GTK is probably the worst of the bunch, and Tk is the most underrated. Everything looks bad on macOS, because Cocoa's API isn't as stable or well documented as Microsoft's DirectWrite and GDI variations nor obviously X or Wa

I've had great experiences with most every large corporation I've chosen to deal with, from suppliers like Toyota with their cars and Perrigo with their pharmaceuticals to distributors like Costco and WinCo Foods, and marketplaces

A paper factory, on the other hand, smells like barf and has huge vats of chemicals that will dissolve you. It probably uses also more power than a data center, at a much worse power factor.

I used to work two lots down from one. I wouldn't notice at all if it was next to my house. The only way to distinguish it from any other business in the office park was the slightly higher security. There was also a charter school

I think Hanlon's razor applies here. When executive agencies have separate bodies for investigation than enforcement (e.g. the NTSB, independent of the FAA and NHTSA, and the CSB, independent of the EPA and OSHA) they tend to be very c

There's two things going on here. Most people don't report their illnesses, especially minor ones. The people that did report their illness trigger an investigation that then hunts down the people that didn't initially repor

I do like living and working in buildings, using computers, refrigeration systems and transit infrastructure, getting medical care, and eating cooked food, so I think building things is by far a net positive. Also, banking, scientific resea

Cross-platform widget engines (Tk, GTK, Qt, wxWidgets, etc…) long predate Electron and have always been robust, stable, well documented, and easy to use. It's not creating a single application for multiple native desktop environments

It's a really good billboard. I know someone that runs a sign printing and wrapping company, and he bought one to advertise his business. It has a lot of flat, easily legible surface area.

There was a construction site near me that had a Cybertruck in the parking lot during work hours. Granted, construction workers don't necessarily use their personal trucks for work things, or even for truck things, but they do tend to

Can you also measure how often the LLM response makes people laugh? Sometimes the responses that aren't attempting a joke are the funniest, and I'd be more interested in stats of which LLM succeed in that metric.

Reddit of ten years ago focused on connecting users with the ideal user to communicate with. Modern Reddit focuses on connecting users with the ideal piece of information to read. I don't know how they managed to make that change, whe

I do have stable diffusion running on a non-Nvidia GPU, so I'm familiar with the manner of rituals required before contemplating installing system updates or even suspending the system. Now, I'm off to determine if an eMMC M.2 mod

The AUR is still a better option than using curl to freebase shell scripts straight from github, which is pretty much the go-to route for any LLM-generated guides. See also, the -o- emoticon: https://youtu.be/M1si1y5lvkk&amp

There's two types of color e-ink displays on the market. ACEP displays use different sized CMYK pigments in the display, which can be selectively exposed or hidden. They provide a similar resolution as well as brightness and contrast

Every transistor is a phototransistor. You don't even need UV light, just regular amounts of blue light, or large amounts of light anywhere on the color spectrum, can interfere with operation. Badges with COG silicon dies on an OLED

It's not like health food research is the bastion of good practice, or even okayish practice. Humans are by default irrational, especially when it comes to health theater. We waste endless resources with organic farming and trying to

Don't overlook quantitative easing. Introducing more money into a monetary system has a significant inflationary effect on the money that was already present. Also, housing costs don't statically climb as interest rates go up. A
