Thermometers and blood pressure monitors are passive devices. Ultrasound systems do emit radiation, in the form of ultrasound vibrations from a transducer of some kind. In the ultrasound industry, there are two measurements, mechanical inde

Ultrasound systems are medical devices. There are limits on power levels for patient safety and to ensure efficacy. To my knowledge, licensing here is an attempt to protect patient safety.

Is there a link to a replay of the live stream? The link on the Tesla IR site just takes me to their main page.

A friend of mine works in the tool and die industry in the United States, as a machinist. He indicated that dies bought from China and elsewhere are often 1/3 to 1/4 the price of dies made in America. They don’t last as long and t

It's a mix of C++, Python and Perl, plus writing documents in LaTeX, Org-Mode, etc. I enjoy programming in Common Lisp, too, but that's something I do mostly for pleasure. GNU Emacs has good support for programming in Common Lisp

I have not had any RSI issues. I have seen a video about someone who hacked up a means to use Emacs via voice control. I may play with something like that myself. I doubt that using Emacs via a keyboard is really my bottleneck, though. So a

For me it's been helpful to sometimes take some time, look at the key bindings for a particular mode, and practice them. With some periodic investment in committing them to memory, I think your Emacs productivity will improve.

For me, the only software that I have used consistently since that era (~1981 or so) would be UNIX and the C programming language. And to be honest, I don't write that much straight C anymore.

I have been using GNU Emacs since the late 1980s. It has been my life's editor, so to speak. At 59 1/2, it seems unlikely that I will ever switch to another editor. It's served me well. I am grateful to the hackers that creat

I've been using 1Password for a few years. It feels a bit over-featured to me. It has worked reliably though.

I have found both Stoicism and secular Buddhism to be right up my alley. I'm closing in on 60 years of age, and have had both major wins and major losses in my life. Today, I am generally at peace with whatever happens and my different

I believe AutoLISP was derived from XLISP, a publicly available LISP written by David Betz. I had a lot of fun with XLISP, and respected the quality of the work done by Mr. Betz.

The headline is evocative of the introduction to the book "The Goal" by Eli Goldratt. That book was transformative for me.

Why does the IRS not distribute the tax-filing workload across the whole year? Having everyone trying to complete their taxes on the same day seems wildly inefficient and wasteful.

Thank you for that reference. I have not yet chased it down. If I do and find it interesting, I'll follow up here.

Many years ago, I lead a small team of very talented software developers. We built "execution trace disassemblers" for in-circuit emulators. Basically, they took an array of bus cycles recorded from the bus of a microprocessor bas

I don't think AI needs to be able to explain itself in order to be trusted. Human beings, in general, cannot give arbitrarily deep and valid explanations for their actions, and yet, somehow, we manage to come to trust them.

I have never found subjecting other people to hatred, disgust and vitriol to be effective in inducing them to change in a positive way. Why do you assume there are only two options in dealing with the police?
