I once did an IFFT of this very image and listened to it for fun!

Accelerometer is wishful thinking. The consumer headset I had back in that era used a couple of potentiometers on the sides. A stick ran through them and clipped onto your shirt at the shoulder. Turning your head left and right rotated them

Uh, AppleTV? Apple may very well beef up AppleTV and market the gaming angle of the device a lot more than they currently are, but given their history with Pippin I think your claim they will pitch a new dedicated game console type device i

Big Bang fusion apparently produces mainly Li-7 which decays to He. There is still a perceived problem with the abundance of Li, Be, and B though when you go charting the observed abundance of all elements. But if the Lithium all decayed, w

The iPad is a wonderfully capable computer that is crippled by Apple's iOS into being the grown up version of a VTech Tote & Go Apple wont change until they are forced.

You are using a Ubiquiti device that gathers ip accounting information from a slew of various devices on the network then tries to cram it all together into an overall view. It seems widely accepted that their statistics aren't that re

I agree the statement in the article regarding amyloid strikes me more as journalistic framing and makes me think the author isn't quite up to speed on AD research today. The paper in question [0] states front and center that they do n

Given the statements made in the article, it would seem rather straightforward to look at the incidence of ADRD in the population of existing carvedilol patients. I would think such a thing would precede even a model study, and it's in

Funny you should mention this; I posted elsewhere on the thread about my experiences with the topic at hand, but my BMW E46 M3 project was the top viewed project on the mp3car forums for the better part of a decade. I don't have the ca

I hacked on the original TiVo and MythTV a bit; did not contribute much back, but I had a lot of fun. Video output from my few boxes were fed back into NTSC modulators; I added extra channels to the CATV distribution and could tune into my

This list looks amazing. Anyone know of a similar curation for the quantum domain? I’d imagine the list to be ... smaller. /rimshot

To a robot, the act of moving meat into physical proximity with a switch might be considered to be an equally obscure action. As a component of a 2-factor system to prove token possession, either seems quite adequate. The use of U2F tokens

Sure; this would be the equivalent of a "lossy" compression algorithm which encodes the result in terms of a question using semantics related to the respondent's knowledge to produce a specific response. Anyone who has been t

> Good LED bulbs are now common and cheap I take exception to this. Bad LED bulbs are common and cheap. Your average $5 bulb from the big box has about 3 common failure modes, all of which are exacerbated by heat. I haven't been abl

Yep; the key technology that took magnetic confinement fusion from 'ITER will probably work' to 'Maybe we should just go ahead and skip ITER' is rebco tape. The problem is that all known superconducting materials known w

I am not suggesting in any way that it doesn't happen, but I do take some solace in that I have never read a story where this kind of thing wasn't ultimately resolved, whether it made a beeline straight to the mothership via an in

I'm kind of sick of companies punishing personal/hobby/learning users because another group that should be paying for their software isn't doing it. This is their problem to solve, and they have chosen to do it this way.

As influential and great as the NIN soundtrack for Quake was, I personally preferred Primus's "Pork Soda" as a quite literal drop-in replacement. The original soundtrack was shipped as regular redbook cd audio: the game was i

2K was/is a real specification that defined and used in digital cinema well before consumer TV's got near to these resolutions. DCI specifies a few 2k resolutions based on aspect ratio: 2048x1080/24 full Frame, 2048x858/

Sure they could; but I find it kind of hard to criticize their strategy of getting a hundred million people to commiserate with them before they try. Even better that Apple has decided to act like a big ugly baby about it; they must be over
