Thank god I don’t need this, but the Lens folks are great and congrats to them. I suspect this is custom built for a tiny handful of supermassive clients, so hopefully they land the contracts! As overly complex as all this is, in a few more

Can someone with more knowledge talk a bit about the most immediate and practical uses of a room temperature semi conductor? From what I understand, non-chemical batteries (ie: current-trapped-forever-in-a-rock), hand held MRI machines, pas

It’s also simultaneously exactly the opposite. If the authors never get money for their work, eventually they will quit or burn out, and then the project is in a worse spot. If companies making money have to / want to pay for support a

I was actually really curious about the r/d to product pipeline after I posted my comment. I appreciate your reply! If the turnaround is within a year or two, that’s excellent and totally counters my comment!

I get about 230 miles of range in our model 3, my wife gets about 270. Head winds actually effect range far more than you’d expect, and the difference between 65 and 75 is dramatic. There is a reason Teslas have no door handles for aerodyna

I don't disagree with them showing this off, just them avoiding making an actual product. Always be embarrassed by v1 and all that. I understand Meta has the cash to bankroll a decade of R/D (like XEROX used to), but iterating act

> As with Butterscotch Varifocal, the goal of Flamera isn’t to show something that’s viable for a consumer product—at least, not yet. A bit surprising that these seem so far away from production. I think Apple is playing it properly here

Why not use your experience and expertise to join the conversations and offer corrections to the misunderstanding? From my perspective, this is easily the lowest SNR comment on this post.

I’m very much a layman, but my understanding is that LK-99 itself is not necessarily a superconductor. It’s polycrystalline which means it’s a very uneven material - not all LK-99 is the same. They both didn’t know it was what it was and al

I guess I don’t really know why I put Borges in that list like that. His poetry to me, is highly idealistic and Utopian. It was all about a better way for the world to work, if only some key change could be made. He was smarter than actual

Had a similar experience - I was exceedingly excited after reading the communist manifesto, some Jorge Luis Borges, and a number of other revolutionary texts as a kid. I searched high and low for people to talk seriously about this with. It

Because ostensibly global warming and climate change is of far more existential threat than localized turbines. Wind power could possibly save all birds , at the cost of some birds . It’s similar to when a self driving car gets into an ac

That wasn’t the issue. The issue was the price of the cheapest Tesla being worth it. I see model 3s everywhere, Bolts rarely.

It's a somewhat difficult argument to say that it's easier to build from scratch, but I hear what you're saying. At any rate, it is absolutely more fun to build from scratch. I've polled developers about what part of s

Or in the way of whatever the opposite of that term is. After credits the cheapest Tesla is right around 35k.

Yes, exactly correct. WEI is a way to turn this mobile device signing nightmare into a web standard that can be enforced across all devices.

It was a political game for journalists and now it’s officially instead of unofficially meaningless, but it was never serviceable and certainly not “harmful”. Hyperbole is a plague.

I just read an article on how social media has had devastating consequences on par with the dropping of atomic weapons at the end of WW2. The main devastation the author pointed to? Right wing politics becoming vaguely more popular.

The main feature is actually exactly what this article mentions - items do not disappear when you check them off, instead they strike-through (working on an animation and haptic feedback for this!). There are small celebrations when items a

Hah my wife has tried dozens of todo apps, inevitably landing back on pen and paper. I’m building an app for her now with a surprising number of the features this author wants! Maybe I should put it into the App Store after all!

I just think the moral story is somewhat humorous. Jumping from twitter to threads is like swapping your Russian AK47 for an Israeli Galil and imagining you’ve made some moral improvement. If that’s the only reason to swap, you can count on
