Battery powered trains are a thing. Not all train tracks are electrified, even in Germany, and there are some places where a train line can be extended beyond an electrified segment. They charge through the normal overhead wire with about 1

That's what I thought as well, but then I saw their competition. Their ratio of bragging vs doing their homework is actually top notch.

Gamers Nexus on YouTube appears to be carrying the torch of obsessively in-depth coverage. Ian Cutress has been doing his thing as well, but erred mostly on the side of being a philosopher rather than an investigator. Interested to see wher

No mention of numbers. Is this going to be brighter than an Iridium flash or the ISS? Is it going to provide meaningful power density for my solar panels? More to the point, why does that shop advertise to anybody other than gov agencies wi

From the article, it looks like they are installing 20 GWp of solar cells. ("peak power" that is only achieved when the sun is right above the solar cells with no atmosphere in between). The plan seems to be to store 36-42 GWh, an

There is no category for "fair" or "nice" or "just" in how many Russians see Russia. It is mostly about "strong" vs "weak".

My retirement project is going to be this but at larger scale. Remove the tires from two old bicycles to run them on rails, build a gantry between them mounted to seatposts and handlebars. Probably drive it with chains on winches for robust

Same goes for cooking your own food, doing your own laundry and picking your own clothes. Efficiency has its place in times of scarcity, but there is a cultural component on top. Part is education, part is carrying and renewing traditions,

We once did math on finding overheating FETs with an on-PCB temperature sensor. We came to the same conclusion as you. Our supplier advertised a sensor, which we found eventually on the other end of the PCB. The reaction time would have bee

So, what went on in the background leading up to this? Folks at SuSE generally aren't stupid, they wouldn't want them to drop the name without good reason.

Semi off-topic, but this site has auto-translate on. And reading an automatic translation of something without knowing, I will quite easily get the impression that the site authors are careless morons. Have auto translate switched off if yo

Any of this would be an implementation level fault, and Dropbox, iCloud, Google Photos and Meta's chat apps have had this solved for decades. I don't see why OneDrive couldn't. If you hate the design, don't let your argu

Is this inherent to LLMs by the way, or is it a training choice? I would love for an LLM to talk more slowly when it is unsure. This topic needs careful consideration and I should use more brain cycles on it. Please insert another coin.

I've been using Spacedesk on Windows with two old Android tablets. They're Samsung Note 2014s, super cheap, old enough that YouTube has stopped working, but they're 10" at 2560x1600 with good color. With good wireless, t

Some mines are lucky in that trucks deliver payload downhill, making it attractive to charge batteries regeneratively for the empty drive back up. Where that is not the case, electric driving is not attractive at all. Conveyors and cable ca

So, new tires (which happen independently) a stroked engine (without saying it), a more aerodynamic cladding (surprise), and that is it? In IT that is called a spec bump, not a disruption.
