Not a chance. Drywall will absorb this like a sponge. These frequencies are really high and will reflect off hard or thin surfaces, drywall is relatively soft, more often than not has insulation packed into the center and is usually covered

And that's just signalling, not power delivery.

So, in the true spirit of the HN dismissive comment, but this time I think it really does have its place. Ultrasonic is DOA, sorry, but that just won't do. It's already a nuisance to have all these switching supplies that mess up

I think both Elsevier and the people that appropriate IP for training commercially deployed AIs purpose without the consent of the author(s) should be legal.

I don't think that's the reason. Modern supercars have so much power that the average person that can afford them is going to wreck the drivetrain in a very short while if they have to manage all that power themselves. Automatic g

That says a lot more about them than it did about you.

Yes, and it is precisely that kind of curation that makes Debian as valuable as it is.

From 'the hacker did it' we have moved to 'the AI did it'. The problem set is roughly the same.

Not on my devices. Auto update has been abused so often now that it is an embarrassment to the industry. Auto update should be for bug fixes and security issues only.

Because they get to make a little bit more money in the short term. It's funny though: they're tilting at windmills in the most literal sense of the world. Or, it would be funny if not for the consequences.

You are correct. Non-chain gas stations often make only as little as one or two cents per liter, and that's before you look at pump maintenance, inspections, periodical tank replacements/upgrades/liners and other costs. Manne

Which is obviously complete bullshit. National Security is the 'trump' card played to explain almost every inexplicable policy. It comes with the added advantage that if someone doesn't want to play the game you get to label

INAV is a hot mess, I would recommend against it unless you like beta testing stuff in flight. They don't really have a good SW development process, which kind of surprised me. Betaflight is good for Quads (it nominally also supports s

I built a glider and flew it exactly once because I was too scared of crashing it after all the time that went into built it. The whole RC industry has made massive leaps, the first time I saw a modern radio I thought I'd received an e

The problem with C - and I'm saying this as a life-long C programmer and not exactly a fan of Rust - is that C is indeed very sharp but it will cut other people just as easily even though they are far downstream of the original program

That doesn't do justice to either waterfall or agile.

That does not seem like even close to a fair comparison and makes me wonder how valid the conclusion is. Effectively this is two times n=1, if you use 'teams' when you actually mean 'individuals' then that's not rea

It always amazes me how bad the software world is at keeping lessons learned as learned, especially when compared to say engineering. It's as if every 20 years or so we throw away the books and reinvent it all from first principles, ho

You have rediscovered the job of Software Analyst, which until the early 90's was a thing. Then that all got upended and we ended up with a mix between product owners, project managers and developers / devops but I think that that

So, it looks like you have your work cut out for you then: how to make sure that America as a whole profits from its exports rather than just a select few individuals. Because if you toss out the concept of weapons exports as a whole becaus
