Historical note: Stalin and Hitler agreed to start WW2 by invading Poland in September 1939. So Stalin may have played a part in ending WW2, but don't forget his part in starting it.

Not sure what you mean by "LLM can't do Socratus' method"? But: Plenty of people struggle with playing along with Socrates' method. Can they not reason at all?

Can a blind man sculpt? What if he makes mistakes that a seeing person would never make? Does that mean that the blind man is not capable of sculpting at all?

Has anyone done good power measurements of similar boards? How many watts does it draw in idle, surfing the web, and watching a YouTube video?

In Germany, very often. VDE is like ANSI or IEEE there. If you ever work on anything electrical in Germany, you see the acronym VDE everywhere on standards etc.

It's an interesting idea, but I think you'll be surprised at how fast the sun moves. You can try it yourself. Put up a small mirror that reflects a sun spot on a surface. Clock how fast it moves a centimeter. Multiply that distanc

For concentrated solar polar, you need almost constant movement of the mirrors to keep tracking the sun well enough. So you need independent azimuth+elevation for each mirror.

by fl7305 2y ago
It's not great for a production site. But for engineering tests, you can do a lot of stuff with no sun, and the occasional clear skies are used for sun testing.

You normally keep all mirrors pointed at the real target. Then take one at a time and point it at the black board off to the side. You can then use the camera image of the position of the sun spot on the black board to figure out your new c

In my view, it sounds like they're trying to tackle way too much at the same time. Just the core system that converts input chemicals and heat to a fuel is a major undertaking. Focus on that. Adding their own mirror system might be doa

1,500 C sounds like it's way past what any normal metals can handle? But in this case, maybe it is enough to have just a small part of the central reaction vessel handle 1,500 C? Maybe using ceramics? Or can you 3D print an Inconel cha

Really? Looking at the asking prices on eBay, a VT100 terminal seems to go for many hundreds of dollars even in poor condition? You wouldn't happen to have SUN 3 workstations?

Like the other poster wrote, it is time dependent. The stuff that went into dumpsters in the 1990s can sell for thousands today on eBay. But in 30 years, they might be dumpster bound again. I just double checked to make sure, and an Atari F

Maybe mount the display on a small adapter PCB that has a CPU for pixel conversion, and a standard flat cable down to the main board? Then the main board can stay the same even as the displays are swapped out together with new adapter PCBs?

Use a RP2040 or similar to handle the conversion from the Spectrum pixel output to what the display needs? And perhaps a small adapter board for the display FPC connector?
