Yeah, but we're specifically talking about 5 gig WAN. Like I said I use 10 gig internally too and see the use. It's a 5 gig connection to the wider internet that I am struggling to rationalize.

I guess my point is, those bandwidth intensive applications are currently more than well covered on 1 gbps unless you have a lot of people in your house all using them simultaneously. A raw triple layer UHD Bluray absolutely tops out at 128

Over the internet, though? I use 10 gig inside my network for storage too, but not over the 'net. Doing big offsite backups is the only thing that really comes to mind for me, but even then apart from an initial push 1 gig is more than

Sincere question, what are you doing with 5 gbps to the home? Part of me thinks "hell yeah why not", but realistically I have 1 gbps service and it's probably overkill even with me being an abnormally heavy user. My internal

Yeah. Decay heat is still an issue but MSRs are inherently able to handle it without the need for active circulation. Plus if shit hits the fan like I said you can drain it out just with gravity into a configuration that is inherently unabl

I don't really have an opinion on the matter and I think it's a fair question to consider, but I'll note that the NRC obviously disagrees. At least for now, they could always change their mind. I seriously doubt that they w

MSRs have an advantage though, which is that a) fuel melt is obviously not a problem and b) if something goes out of control you can pull the drain plug and drain the entire core into multiple crit-safe storage pools. Dividing the core up m

What you say is technically true but you're forgetting decay heat. The fission chain reaction stops if you remove the moderator in any sane LWR design, but the fission products in the fuel will continue to generate a very large amount

Worth noting that this is not really unique to this reactor, and the technology has been around for a while (including multiple basically fully functional demonstration reactors that were actually built, though they weren't without the

Maybe so you can make an empty initial commit and push it to a remote like Github as a placeholder? Or a lazy way to trigger a CI job when you're gonna squash and cleanup later. I guess conceptually you could use it to represent "

Counting my monitors and the small network switch on my desk, I can hit around 750-800 watts sustained with a 5950X and a 3090 running compute intensive workloads as measured at the wall by a power meter. So yeah, there's plenty of hea

For one thing RCT1 was famously written in hand tuned assembly language, but the main reason AFAIU is coupling of components. Early Factorio isn't that bad, but later factories it has to constantly simulate every machine on the map all

I said near, we still have some breathing room. But as noted elsewhere, 15 A is a max for short periods, the practical limit for continuous use is more like 1200-1400 W which definitely seems like it might be plausible soon. Plus other thin

There sorta is a cap in place given that most residential circuits in the US are 15 or 20 amps. We're already not far off of that being a serious concern even on non-crazy builds. Edit: ok maybe crazy builds but still it's not tha

MiniDSP makes some calibration mics that run about 60 bucks. I used them as a cheap instrument for some lab work where I needed a calibrated mic a while back and was very impressed with their performance for the price. They ship with a litt

I think it's more sophisticated than that. I was getting this message when the humidity was high but there was definitely nothing in the port. I'm guessing it's some sort of capacitive thing because even really humid air shou

I mean you're right I'd rather deal with hydrogen than hydrazine or HF, but I'll respect your parenting choices from a safe distance.

It's pretty damn dangerous when there is a potential for a combined 90000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen in close proximity... the presence of concentrated oxygen GREATLY increases the explosive power of hydrogen and Artemis car

Indeed, China has lots of other levers it can exert to cause a catastrophic shortage entirely on its own. Chip fabs in Taiwan are a big problem because there aren't many alternatives elsewhere, and due to the cost/time required to

by gh02t 4y ago
Nvidia does their main chip fab in Taiwan AFAIK, along with a large number of other companies. It's one of the reasons tensions over Taiwan are worrying. China could blockade or invade Taiwan and start a "shortage" far worse

I got two certified HDMI cables at Walmart (and cross referenced the certification online). One of them worked fine, while the other one worked in a basic sense but failed to negotiate and wouldn't give me all the fancy sound and video

The closest to this I have seen is something like Mathematica, where the frontend can map back and forth between visual widgets and code pretty seamlessly. I always wished they would actually take it a bit further, but some of the things yo

Yeah to be fair I never actually liked Fusion 360 personally. I don't find it super intuitive, but it is quite powerful and polished and I know some people who use it professionally and can do magic in it. OnShape really is perfect to

CSG and CAD are just really hard to get right from scratch technically, with lots of math and edge cases and a massive number of features and optimizations you need to implement to hit minimum viability. Add to that the UI on top of the und

I use Kitty with Tmux, no reason you can't. It's still a fast and simple terminal even without the other features.

Yeah, I fully believe OPs experience as I have heard horror stories but similarly my experience with an engineering PhD was that we were treated well. We had contracts, semi-reasonable pay, vacation, healthcare etc.

Slight digression, but I'm always baffled by how unbelievably slow Conda is at resolving dependencies as soon as you have more than a handful of packages installed. Mamba basically proves it's a solvable issue, but you'd thin

I agree with you, a lot of these services aren't as high bandwidth as people imagine but I will note that part of the reason is because that's what people routinely have access to. Netflix or whoever could be pushing higher bitr
