That's a very Boeing friendly way of putting it. As I understand it, yes the system worked as designed, but the design still managed to kill several hundred people. I'm not qualified to evaluate the design of the system itself. Wa

The problem of individuals making optimal choices on an individual scale being sub-optimal on a society scale is so widespread we have a specific phrase to describe it: Tragedy of the commons I would love to live in a world where everyone w

But what prevents you from connecting the stopped power plants to one of those islands and then running it from there? I'm not claiming that is easy, but its not a black start. It looks to me like the author of this article has fundame

The peak load of a house is substantially higher than the per-house peak load of a city. People don't all turn on their ovens/dryers/hairdriers at the same time. You could distribute this capacity at each house and feed it ba

Most of the time, the grid is reliable. How much investment do we actually want to prevent a few hours of downtime once in a blue moon? And even if we do want to invest in large amount of grid storage (which we would need to anyway, if we

It /does/ eliminate whole classes of errors. No use after free bugs if you never free memory. That might have been a worthwhile tradeoff in safety-critical software where failures causes people to die (or not die as the case may b

The interesting point wasn't the timeslots, but their size. Yes, 2G has fixed time slots, but a slot is used for a lot longer than a single (half?) sample.

Most A2A systems has wheels (or floats) and can thus easily be relocated. While it probably had good stuff once, I think all the high end equipment once located here has moved closer to Ukraine by now. What's left is probably the worst

Radar doesn't exactly tell you the size of of a contact. Sure, you can measure the power of the return signal, correct for distance and get something that loosely correlates with size. But it correlates much more strongly with other th

For you and me, its not going to be a massive change. But for my grandmother, who keeps a little notebook with detailed instructions for how to message people on Facebook? For her this might greatly increase her capabilities.

Maybe? I was about to write a small essay on how everything from monitors to speeds seemed to be stagnating. But I actually think there is a chance we might gain two new revolutionary[1]ish ways of interacting with computers within the next

Yes, Apple has exclusive control over the Apple ecosystem. I'm sure a lot of Apple users would like greater control over their devices. But the choice isn't between Apple and not having a phone. Android exists, and as long as its

No. Every successive semiconductor node uses less power than the previous per transistor at the same clock speed. Its just that we then immediately use this headroom to pack more transistors closer and run them faster, so every chip keep

Now, I don't know how your setup looks like, but I don't think anything is distributed as snaps by default on Arch. At least AFAIK its mostly an Ubuntu & derivatives thing.

Yes. Every new GPU generation delivers more performance/W than the previous generation (mostly due to semiconductor process improvements) But the competition to have the fastest chip means that total power usage keeps growing. Power ef

I don't really think that's a fair assessment, since most of it is in the core. That's some very long and heat resistant roots. I also can't help but wonder, could trees even use iron if it was plentiful in the upper cru

We do call current intel CPU x86. As so many things, the organization we now call EU has changed over time. Pretending it formed ex nihilo in 1993 is at least as silly as ignoring what came before. Reality is messy and drawing hard lines

It sounds a little high, but not massively so. I couldn't find fuel weight in a BWR-3, but a RBMK reactor (Chernobyl) contains between 150 and 200 tons of Uranium. Now, a RBMK runs natural uranium, so you're going to be using mor
