Well, if you don't protect your trademark? It was how most people at M$ were referring to them last week. edit: OMG, I thought it would be obvious I'm kidding. I guess garbage HN comments win garbage HN prizes. Maybe there will be

I am quite impressed by the results. Really, I was originally amazed that they were able to get much at all. I'm more familiar with DisplayPort so I was surprised that a fully differential embedded clock compressed 8b10b signal at 6GHz

I appreciate this color to your article. My background (3rd/4th career) was developing tests and compensation algorithms for visible defects in consumer displays. It was a real learning experience and trying to understand the many ways

Whitening involves peroxide not fluoride. Fluoride hardens enamel and reduces dental caries (cavities).

I prefer this. The failure to discus Lab and OKLab in the main link is quite odd. Also, I'd mention to those who think that violet/magenta aren't "real" colors that the red X decays more slowly than the blue Z at sh

As is often the case, creating a well formed problem statement often takes as much knowledge (if not work) as finding the solution. But seriously, if you can't ask the LLM to solve the right question, you can't really expect it to

Mother-in-Law just got a smishing text yesterday for a USPS scam. Luckily, she couldn't remember her username/password (she doesn't have one there) so she didn't enter anything, but I got a call. The link was on .top

Who (other than ZeroAvia) is talking about batteries for flight? For more information, please reread. "the cost of building safe low leakage infrastructure might exceed the cost of batteries and solar/wind to produce powe

So call it 400 liters/min at 30C delta with air's heat capacity about 1kJ/kg/C and 800 liters/kg. You're at 15kJ/min or 250W just for that airflow. Figure there are 40 rooms and you're at 10kW of heat

To be polite, my guess is you've never tried storing dense hydrogen or running high power fuel cells. The solutions are large, heavy, expensive, and not very safe in enclosed areas. The solutions under consideration involve batteries f

Well, I was talking about infrastructure for transporting Hydrogen to the airfield. But wait, there is some low weight safe storage mechanism for high density hydrogen storage in a commercial passenger aircraft? Oh, not cryogenic that'

Hydrogen is a terrible battery. Best case conversion to H2 is ~80%, while best case fuel cell efficiency is ~50%. That's 40% round trip while most batteries can do 90%. That ignores losses due to leakage, but those are only a couple of

Just thinking about Germany, I'm wondering when peak infections occur. I'd guess that it's during the winter? I have not heard that Germany's winters have become particularly mild. In fact Mainz, where this was developed

For efficiency you need to minimize leakage of outside conditions, but you also really need a heat/energy exchanger (HRV/ERV) at the fresh air input so that you're not recirculating stale air.

Totally agree, the complexity of 3D, heterogeneous nodes, and chiplet integration are necessary. Thank you for your efforts, and I wish you great success. It's just that for over 50 years optimizing transistor pitch in 2D was sufficien

If the development of modern chiplet/stacked die is interesting, semiwiki also has interesting articles from some of the vendors including breakdowns of design and integration costs: https://semiwiki.com/eda/synops

To me the 90deg rotation along with the 9:1 scaling is what makes the recursion more compelling. In total it makes a full 360 rotation and 6561 scaling. Also, then noticed that the sqrt(10) is almost exactly 256/81, the 4th root of 10

Yeah, the simple renaming .sys files in safe mode does seem like it would inhibit protection.

You really can't think about single wavelength tunable pixels as something except at the edge HSL. I think about it from the CIE "triangle" where wavelength traces the outer edge, or even the Lab (Luminance a-green/red b

Brightness is PWM controlled, but likely at the micro - millisecond level. The required brightness range is about 100k:1. Black levels would be determined more by reflectivity of the display than illumination.

It's pretty easy to do a few $k of drugs in a week. Do the calculation. The people buying the "recycled" metal are the ones making bank. Why bother investigating or prosecuting them? Also, this has been going on for decades.

On the one hand, I think hate vs like does require some sort of justification. You can like something without really caring, but hate means that you REALLY care. I can barely tolerate cilantro, because I grew up with it in salsas and sauces
