It does vary quite a bit in implementation, with corresponding differences in results. In Michigan (10c deposit), grocery stores have dedicated areas for machines that receive the bottles and give you the credit back. I grew up setting can

I didn't in-depth read the main article here. But skimmed most of it. Not sure any of it is going to brick hardware, but I haven't played with setting flags with ethtool. I've messed with Wake-on-Lan stuff in the past, as we

This is interesting to hear! A key caveat in much of what I'm doing, is I'm implementing things I previously did for other projects in the past 15 years... so I'm using old technology, know the terminology, and can troublesho

Yeah, but you can use those Makita batteries to power a lawn mower, or a microwave! (I'm not joking) (specifically 18V; there's also a smaller hand drill from Makita with 12V batteries that I have too) My take: The situation could

A couple months ago, I was incredulous when I noticed about a half dozen of them on google maps within a mile radius of where I am in San Jose. I haven't gone looking for them physically, though.

Just to nitpick/paint a less absolute picture: Having worked at a couple companies using lidar, you can make out stuff like road markings based on relative brightness (especially if retroreflective paint is used), in ideal conditions,

Hah, well here's a thread to latch on to. I'm pretty sure AllMusic was my source of track lengths for albums. Back in the middle of high school (so just before that redesign maybe?), I had some java utility that (I'm sure I&

Going a bit further... the AI tooling will also be used elsewhere, in things that not-just-students read. So writing style will potentially drift/evolve to be like AI writers, and this will muddy the detection efforts. I know I've

Is there supposed to be non-static video with this? I just see two still images over the course of the ~hour and forty minutes. The conversation goes along as if there's periodic pictures to be seen of what's being discussed. Yeah

As noted in my comment, never noticed 1/8" before (and am American, so no particular metric bias...). All e.g. MP3 players historically called them 3.5mm jacks, is what my brain is telling me. Some googling: 3.5mm jack - 49million

Cool, had wondered how old that feature was. Side note; Not sure I've heard 3.5mm connectors called 1/8" connectors before, though I have heard of the larger 1/4" connectors.

I think you and the parent poster may be talking about different "goals". My lazy quick skim of the main article here is that NIF has achieved a Q value of 1.2 presently. ITER is aiming for a Q of 10 [0]; i.e. Q=10 means fusion ou
