Soap bubble bokeh comes from overcorrected SA. Onion rings and related brightness anomalies/unevenness in bokeh are mostly the result of molded aspheric lenses. Stopping slightly down has not significantly impacted bokeh (apart from ap

Japan historically behaves as if they have nukes and need a totally sovereign HPC capability to support their stockpile.

Fujitsu dropped SPARC for HPC ~seven years ago with their A64fx. That's where ARM SVE comes from in the first place.

Demand destruction is a specific concept in economics where high prices for something cause a lasting reduction in demand. The other comments explain typical mechanisms for this, like high prices for fossil fuels spurring on electrification

The real question is how quickly demand can be destroyed.

That rather seems to hinge on vehicle length, not height. Unless putting in skis upright in the passenger seat is the goal.

In terms of footprint (4.8 meters long, 1.75 m wide) I'd say it's only small for US standards. It seems to look rather smaller than it is. > 188 inches (4,775 mm) long, 69 inches (1,744 mm) wide, and just 55 inches (1,392 mm) t

I doubt there's ever been a production car that used grease in the gearbox. Not outside the 1890s, anyway.

This car is roughly 3-4x more efficient than the average Chinese SUV, which typically consume well above 20 kWh/100 km (which energetically, though not in terms of emissions, approaches what an efficient compact ICE car consumes). It d

4:2:0 is the main reason why most games look like crud once they've passed through any mainstream video encoding pipeline. That being said, the bitrates used for streaming games and VoDs are so low everything looks like mush anyway and

Transmission/differential oil tends to last a very long time (150-400k, unit doesn’t matter). Automatics require relatively frequent oil changes in comparison, but they’re using the oil to transmit power. Lots of greased parts, but aga

Because they're sensible heat machines, instead of latent heat machines. In a perfect frictionless vacuum, both of these can achieve the same theoretical efficiency. In practice, not so much. In particular, the isothermal heat exchange
