Nobody would have accused Brainfuck of being a good language but it turns out that its radical simplicity works well for integrating with optimization algorithms for creating self-programming AIs. It's all about a niche, except INTERC

Sure, you're making a mistake that is very common around HN. You're conflating technology and programming. If you wanted to study chemistry and be a chemical engineer, Houston is absolutely where you would be flocking to instead

The way I see it though, the limitations of CI implants are primarily driven by the internal electrode interface that limits the number of available frequencies to the person. This isn't something that any of the "big tech"

Dallas specifically has a sizeable and vibrant Armenian community in the northern suburbs which also have very good schools and are affordable when compared to anywhere in Cali. North of Dallas is also a significant tech hub.

When I got my Surface Pro way back when, I had some similar issues. I had to update the drivers for the screen and pen to the official Wacom release instead of the Microsoft release and afterwards it ran amazingly well. It was so nice tha

It actually depends on the nature of your ground at both ends of the cable. The book by Ott, pictured but not referenced in the article, had a whole chapter on the subject if I remember correctly. Also copper tape is wonderful but it will

Child care at least has an intrinsic value that will create wage equilibrium because it directly frees up someone else's time for high value labor. It should track closely to the income of the people you are serving, and it mostly doe

The mistake you are making there is assuming that those improvements add any value to the landlord or property. They don't. That $20,000 grease trap is an anchor that the next tenant has to have pulled out at great expense. They pro

The line is just awkwardly worded English, which is understandable because its his second language. What it means is that there is little loss in the "honey comb circuit" which then implies that it is the path of least resistance

Shadowgraphy is a method of measuring distortion or flow in a fluid by shining a light through it and photographing the shadow. Very useful in studying heat, shockwaves, and turbulence. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

This is in fact what the Sawstop does because if you use the wrong material it will engage and destroy your very expensive saw blades. This is one of the (many) reasons why SawStops aren't more popular and why they are in fact removab

Sorry, edited a bit for clarity after thinking some more about it. The kernel of a filter would be it's impulse response, which is what you convolve by to get the filter response. That's where the sloppy terminology comes from.

The article is all right but for newbies reading it; be a little careful. The author is sloppy with terminology in a way that can trip up someone who is just learning. An example being that a Kernel and a Filter are not the same thing.

In this system the RF source you are sending is effectively the IF component for the sensor's Tx chain. Because it is so high power and such a clean pilot tone, the sensor can eliminate it's IF generating oscillator and output am

HN ate my reply, apparently I was posting too fast, but as a TLDR you can avoid the overhead of encryption and authentication by revisiting the trust framework in the design of your network and simply assuming that you don't trust your

Medical is just an example of the economist not understanding the product vs the buzzline. It is a terrible tech implementation for medical, but I agree that you generally want medical encrypted. However, if you are talking medical, the c

Modern microcontrollers can be had in the sub-$5 range that support hardware implemented encrypting algorithms. Mostly it's a worthless feature but we aren't far out from it being more or less standard even in the $0.20 guys. The

It's not a passive tag. If you only read 3 sentences into the abstract, you find out that it is an active device. This is repeated at the end of the abstract and right at the beginning of page 2 in the introduction.

You might have more luck looking at Active RFID. The same technology in any meaningful sense.

CSS is an analog (continuous frequency function) modulation where the CSS standard specifies that only linear encoding be used while FSK is a digital modulation that can employ pseudo-random keying and operates at discrete frequency keys.
