I think we are in a funk part where there are now so many people and so much info available it kind of washes everything out with no personal touch. The natural response to this will be to form ever and ever more specific communities. I ha

I like that. A constraint means you have at least a starting point too. I've always struggled to keep on track when faced with seemingly infinite options. The first few decisions/constraints that define a project and allow it t

Some good advice on there. I like the no shortcuts one. Another way to put it is the longest way is the shortest way. If you think you are taking a short cut you are likely taking a long cut overall.

Ad hominem attacks are the sign you have left logic at the wayside and are running on emotion. It is often a sign that your belief, true or not, has been reinforced with false logic, as when confronted with true logic you are unable to app

I'm not sure what you mean about my view. Perhaps you can explain? It is a fact all atmospheric climate models have failed. The temperature rise predictions based on atmospheric CO2 have not materialized. It is a fact there are other

If you have a falsifiable claim let's test it. Otherwise I win, you devolved to ad hominem attacks in the face of logic.

Their claim is absolutely falsifiable. They have made predictions based on the data. Those predictions will pan out or not, just like all the current CO2 models have failed. What is irrefutable is their models are currently the most accu

This is real science, we get to find out if they are right or not in the next couple years. It is rather weird to attack efforts at real science.

They are doing real science. Their models will be proven wrong or not. All the CO2 based climate models have already been proven wrong. Odd that you would be so against finding out the truth.

It is the research with the most accurate models at the moment. It used to be consensus that the world was flat. Consensus is not science. Only falsifiable claims are science.

It is a pesky little fact that all the climate models have thus far been wrong and there is still no scientific proof that CO2 drives temperatures. The best research on the table at the moment shows we may be facing a super maunder minimum

Interesting, but maybe not required. You can do a programmatic check of the crystal and PLL. I've had over 200k devices fabbed and deployed without ever directly testing a single crystal. What kind of error rate do you find?

This reads like an advertisement for the FBI. A bigger story is how Obama removed protections and actively attacked whistle blowers after promising the most transparent government ever. That had true toll.

It is always good to get to know your MCUs. When I first started using STM32s I would also scope the crystal and then toggle some pins as fast as possible to make sure. Many gadgets later I trust the programmatic detection of external crys

Weird result. I guess it makes sense that it could use twice as much CPU to finish in half the time but looking at the numbers doesn't feel intuitive. I wonder how many shaders this would keep busy. There is probably a class of GPUs

He only failed if the end goal was market success. It looks like he did what he set out to do. His latest model doesn't look too different from the Olympic blade runners. Maybe it should have been marketed as a prosthesis.

Electrolysis to hydrogen and back to electricity is notoriously inefficient. It makes a great place to dump extra energy that MUST be burned off, but it would be more efficient to just not have that much energy that needs to be burned off.

It is because formal methods rarely agree with the cost benefit analysis of doing so. At some point it is less expensive to just build the car and see if it rolls.
