Think gumby is talking about studies from the 80s which showed that captive unrelated cheetahs can accept skin grafts from each other. More detail (and later developments!) here: https://chickenoreggblog.wordpress.com/2011&#

Well, if they're only used for initial training, then ya. But worth pointing out that right now, there are ~13 active duty USAF F16 squadrons, something like 17 ANG squadrons, and ~5 training squadrons. That's roughly 6:1. The USA

Popular Mechanics had this story too, but they apparently got an update from an air force official: Update: A U.S. Air Force official tells Popular Mechanics that, "the Air Force plans to upgrade all aircraft in question to Software B

It's a bit subtle. What they found is that the polymerease step (the actual duplication) is independent, but the helicase step (this unwinds the original double strand DNA) has some sort of mechanism to limit the difference between the

So I guess it comes down to what you think the point of the ME is. If its for what Intel claims, then having the ME have to access the NIC through the OS is useless - the whole point is to bypass the OS, so you can manipulate the computer r

At some point, the feature size stopped being a measurement of any specific feature on the IC, and just a generalized metric. But ya, I mean if you forced them to, their engineers could probably produce the formula that mixes together a bun

Breakthroughs are situational. Many first tier militaries spend time thinking about urban pacification. Within those contexts, it really is a breakthrough. Just like how stealth aircraft were a breakthrough, and also totally useless in this

Nvidia and AMD both reset their numbering schemes when that happened: After the GeForce 9 series (ie, the 9800 GT), Nvidia moved to the 100 series (GeForce G 150), which continues up to this day (ie GeForce GTX 1080). AMD did something simi

Ugh, the website is kind of lazy and buries its own persuasive points into its footnotes. All the claims about numbers are basically useless because the two most persuasive (and important I feel) arguments that the website is trying to make

It's worth noting that node size refers to very different things between different manufacturers, we have very little idea about whats different/similar between TSMC/Samsung/Glofo/Intel's '10nm' nodes

Chinese equity stake in the airport and port will likely result in significant Chinese operation of those ports. And surely, that's got to have India thinking a little bit - it means that the PLAAF/PLAN now have a potential forwar
