There are also the related Kasami codes. Both are made by selecting uncorrelated LFSR sequences and combining them. That has the advantage of extending code length, while maintaining cross-correlation and whiteness properties. Really helpfu

Obviously not the designer, but my guess is to lower capacitive loading on the matched high frequency signals (those with squiggles on top and flood underneath) and make modeling and IC mounting easier without flood. Note there's not f

I'm hopeful for the 3nm Tainan fabs, but I expect disruption at the Taichung and Hsinchu fabs since the quake was felt in Taipei. It's common for the equipment to be recalibrated and tested, if you can feel an event. I suspect thi

Yeah, this is why lockdowns were started. The ER was full of sick people and, if you were in a car wreck or had a heart attack, you would likely die from lack of beds. Go back and look and the ER/ICU/All-Bed occupancy rates were &

Yeah, and there are several long used and relatively efficient ammonia generation methods for direct electrical conversion that uses nitrogen from the air and water with renewable electricity. https://www.frontiersin.org/art

If you find coral deposited more than 100ft above sea level, it's another marker of danger... although perhaps on a longer time scale. Hawaii has several examples of this (coral found at sites over 500ft) from what are assumed to be Me

That's an excellent method! It just requires capturing all the queens and removing any queens and queen cells. Spring swarms and supersedure do something similar although not of a very controllable length. I'm not worried about th

Can anecdotally confirm. I've had 100% surviving hives and continuous queen lineage now for 6-7 years. Before that I did minimal mite treatments (powdered sugar washes are nuts) and had 75% of hives abscond every year requiring new que

Unless you use Chuo and Yamanote to get around in Tokyo or need to take Narita Express or Monorail to the airport. Or you want to get from central Osaka to Namba by Kansai or out to Nara, or all the way to Kyoto, or take a ferry to an islan

I was going to just say springs, but this is more accurate. Orion (the original nuclear rocket) already had this. I'm not sure if the complexity of the multi-chamber pulsed plasma would make dealing with the vibrations more challenging

I agree, up to about junior high you can restrict smartphone/tablet usage. At about 12 it really seems like the social pressure to have a phone becomes really intense, unless there's some school wide restriction. I guess one quest

Lots of failures are just human and political. Sure technology can obscure the obvious or highlight the unlikely, but it's just not that commonly influential (at least not yet, the day will come). The US even warned Russia of the attac

Yes it does, but they also imported the credit based fractional reserve monetary system. This really does require constant growth for positive (or even near zero negative) interest rates. Although there are a lot of monetary controls, there

I'll go a step further, how? Sure it makes sense for a music center like Nashville to do this, but for the entire rest of the world? You can't block them from the source material without destroying the entire industry. So you&#x27

This (IT Integrity Charge) will become a line item on your medical bill. All the other providers will follow, prices go up, insurance companies make more money, and "shareholders" see high returns!

Yeah, lack of regulation is actually a pretty big subsidy for large scale "rare earth" metal refining.

The chip supply chain is a lot shorter and more concentrated than the mining supply chain. If you're thinking of "rare earth" metals in particular, it's probably better to focus on the refining rather than digging out of

It seems like the other part of this is the ability of LLMs to rationalize even answers that are not rational (he says piling BS on BS). That has previously been a very human (and quite distracting/confusing) activity and it's

China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan... I can break it down by city, but the idea that people don't commute more than an hour in any of these places is pretty laughable. HK is a bit better, because it's so small, but unless you're rea

What's wrong? The glorious right to investment profits? It's not even censorship. The 1st amendment right to free speech is about US citizens. This isn't even a US corporation. No 1st amendment there so it looks legal. They p

That's an interesting idea. I think you might be able to do reflective optics around a single crystal silicon core in near contact to the wafer backside. You'd get another factor of 2.5x, which along with confocal imaging would be

Another way to look at this is BYD targets revenue with profit secondary, Legacy manufacturers target profit with volume secondary, and Tesla targets margin with profits secondary.
