This would be a dialysis machine. There is some evidence that they're capable of removing some perfluorinated chemicals, though it seems they aren't effective against all types, at least at low concentrations. I'm sure there

The fact that avr-gcc exists at all is quite amazing though. It's allowed many people to get into embedded design without needing to purchase licenses for other proprietary compilers. It might not be the most optimal compiler, but sub-

On 4, SLS is also a strategic partnership with ESA and other external agencies. ESA is supplying the service module for example.

I learned to code seriously using PHP so I have some fondness for it, and I believe it's been much improved since back then. But the "Fractal of bad design" post (from 2012 no less, so a year after this one) never fails to am

I think this is one of the most impressive parts to me. I would be comfortable approaching the embedded and mechanical aspects of this project, but I don't have the drawing skills. Being able to generate decent card designs for a demo

One example is audio visualisers, though you can buy chips like the MSGEQ7 that will output amplitudes at a range of fixed frequencies. See for example: http://elm-chan.org/works/akilcd/report_e.html - Elm Chan&#x

"Our diagnosis is that individual developers do not pay for tools." I think this is probably true. If you need a tool for your day job, your company ought to be paying for it. Some companies have slush funds for small purchases li

Robotics is a big field and encompasses a huge range of things. Similarly a lot of computer vision is pretty technical, particularly for robotics applications. Have a look at ROS and play around, you can simulate a lot of stuff. I'd al

It definitely happens in the UK, I've done this and also made the same mistake. I don't think it's illegal, because they give you the terms clearly: pay it off within x months and it's zero interest. It's not like K

Yeah it's definitely cheaper long term. The biggest issue you're going to run into is available RAM. Card speed is less important, you can always train a bit slower, but you can't get around memory limits. A recent *80 series

I've used the BLK 360 before so some comment here. Essentially you scan at various points within the volume of interest, e.g. you walk around, place the scanner, scan, repeat. Each scan takes a few minutes at high angular resolution. L

Is there a reason you can't use Colab? That would be the first suggestion. A pro license costs about 600 a year. Next question is what are you training? The latest cards are almost certainly faster, but you're normally concerned b

The 3M stuff certainly looks identical. That said, 361 is only rated down to -54 C and it gets colder than that over winter, maybe Nitto performed better in testing? Honestly I don't think many people could tell you the brand without l

Winterover '20-21 here (there are other WOs on HN). We call it "driller tape" because it's was used all the time when the strings were installed (i.e. during drilling). Generally useful stuff for sticking things outdoors

You could put this below a saucer/pot stand which is fine for most houseplants. For outdoor projects it's going to have to be waterproof anyway.

This is basically how my company works. We're sort of remote-first in that we have plenty of foreign employees around the world, but we also have a coworking space that people in that city are free to work from. Nobody is forced to wor

Unfortunately yes. I ran a workshop with a group of students learning about digital electronics. They all installed the IDE and it was pretty much unusable except for on the faster laptops. The RP2040 was particularly bad, but the Mega*8 wa

Isn't this what escrow accounts exist for? The airline shouldn't hold your money in the interim, someone else does. If the airline cancels, you get it back, if you fly or otherwise breach the contract (no show, cancel your ticket)

Not sure. I suspect the issue would be lots of memory transfer between the GPU and the CPU, because downstream layers usually need previous layer outputs. It would probably depend on the receptive field of the network? Also on how expensive
353.
by joshvm 4y ago
The latter. The major frameworks, at least, can be run in CPU-only mode, with a hardware abstraction layer for other devices (like CUDA-capable cards, TPUs etc). So practically it means you need an Nvidia GPU to get anywhere in a reasonable

See my original post. I have an SFF case with a water-cooled 5950X+3090. That's already borderline for noise and thermals on a 240mm radiator, so an extra 100 W for the 7950X would probably be untenable. But as people point out - more

This is true, but there can be advantages to having 32 cores over 16, depending on your workload.

Whether or not what marketing calls it is accurate, Anandtech measure power draw in their reviews and (at least in this example) it's pretty well aligned with the advertised TDP/PPT: https://www.anandtech.com/show&

by joshvm 4y ago
One downside is that the TDP is almost doubled (170/~230 W vs 105/140 W for default/PPT) which may be a dealbreaker - certainly for my SFF system where I'm not sure I can cope with another 100W. These are limited by the

Well with the right approach, you don't need to give any data. I've said before on here that I think affiliate marketing is acceptable for text content, if the thing that I'm recommended is actually something I'd use.

I gave up on Fusion360 when it told me that the STL exporter wouldn't work without a cloud connection. The app itself works well enough offline, so this seems like a bizarre omission. Surprisingly there are places in the world with 3D

On the calibration side, would it be possible to use fiducial markers (even a single Aruco) on the print bed to make an ortho projection of the print? You have the issue of print rotation relative to the bed, but I don't think there&#x
