You might like to try out GPT-3 (seems access is widely available now) for translation some time, it's remarkably good, better than myself (well my German is pretty rusty) and I think much better than Google Translate... (Basically jus

Web3 doesn't feel like the right framework here? Generally the types of tokens used in the "web3" world are inherently traceable. Something similar to Passkeys ( https://developer.apple.com/passkeys/ ) wou

I doubt that's anything to do with the CPU... on my Intel MacBook Pro the Activity Monitor also lags about 5s before showing the stats.

From what I've seen Chinese manufacturers and component distributors built up big stocks when the tariffs/sanctions against China were announced a few years ago. Then when the recent events affected supply chains, they were sittin

Hmm... While I don't see any evidence that L5 autonomous driving is near, I don't follow your argument that L5 is equivalent to the halting problem. Can you explain? I am not convinced that L5 is fundamentally impossible (unless w

I think it's the last one, the two proven applications are book readers and price labels (and a few niche applications like readable displays for long-life battery-operated devices, Remarkable). There's not many potential users cl

Great explanation of the differences! I would argue though that even for noise, distortion, and RF/shielding problems you can get quite far with "cookbook" level knowledge (though I'll grant that it's quite likely t

I would propose that the reason you are nostalgic for the FF games of past is because of the unique creative vision of those games, which is not something that DALL-E can help you with much yet, though it's absolutely astonishing at mi

I suspect that the capillary action is started by microscopic scratches in the plastic formed when the plastic cups are removed from the molds they were shaped over. This may explain all or some of the capillary effect.

Yes forgot to mention that... you really need both (and arguably a solid set of regulations and protections of freedom of the press).

It is not even remotely odd, it is a vital defence of that same democracy. Private ownership of the media is a direct path to authoritarianism (Hungary: Orban, Italy: Berlusconi). When the government is "aligned" with the same med

Thanks for the clarification, I should have added "IANAL" of course. Not being able to verify the identity of an officer / warrant does sound a bit like the real-world equivalent of this issue unfortunately (though the suppos

If a supposed police officers shows up at my door, and I have any doubts as to their authority, I'm supposed to call the publicly listed phone number of the local police department to verify. Seems that should be the very minimum stand

I can't help sharing one of my favourite haggling anecdotes here. I was in a jewellery market in Mexico City, waiting for a friend to return from the toilets, so I spent some time looking over the goods of a stall and looking at one si

There's a lot that can be done to help in terms of preventing jamming and detecting, and it mostly involves a tradeoff with bandwidth/latency. The simple approach to evade jamming is to decrease the FEC (forward error correction)

To give the bare minimum of credit to the study, it was a cross-over design, so half of the participants started with the higher frequency first and vice versa.

The challenges are similar to those involved in signing the root keys for DNSsec (or certificate authorities). Root signing ceremonies make for an interesting read: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/dns/dnssec/

From the pure technology point of view not too hard, but there are business and logistics challenges. Apple is highly optimised to hold minimum stock near the customer and use a lot of just-in-time delivery, but this depends on a high produ

Missing from this article, and rather important in the current supply chain issues situation, is packaging (testing, dicing, packaging into the chip package e.g. BGA, QFN, SOIC etc). Packaging is generally done at separate factories from th

If all they achieve is getting the windows opened that is already a huge success. I would expect adding a simple fan to speed up the air exchange would help a lot too...

There is a calibration pin which you can connect to GND for 4-8s to force a manual calibration (if you can bring the sensor into an environment of ~400ppm): https://emariete.com/en/meter-co2-esp8266-nodemcu-sensor-sen..

Yes of course, if it's for a professional production (and these days even many Youtube videos are professional productions) a (semi)-pro camera has a lot more headroom. But it will require knowledge, experience and additional equipment

Somewhat surprisingly, it's actually easier to get good-looking footage on an iPhone than say a mid-level mirrorless camera. The iPhone has better built-in stabilisation and handles high dynamic range more conveniently (built-in tone m
