Reads like a good intro into how beamforming works. One detail I found dubious is this part about bigger antennas: > To stretch our non-mathematical metaphor well beyond its breaking point, a "bigger sphere" will contain more

When I was a kid, one afternoon we heard a siren go off in the nearby village. What do you do? Well keep doing what you've been doing before. Because it's just a test certainly. Then a voice came on: "This is not a test, not

I'm curious how the couple delusioned themselves into thinking this could work. And what their plan was. Maybe taking the victim's identity?

I sure hope so! If firefighters keep smashing them, these cars might get deployed to states where regulators are more accommodating enacting some protection. Would be a shame if San Francisco didn't have these manslaughter machines aro

The issue at Twitter and other places with moderation decisions is that they are so opaque. We have to wait for internals to surface to know that management or a government caused a ban.

Isn't that a metric you want manufacturers to compete on? How could they fake this?

Can confirm, I had that happen with a cable. I filed a warranty claim and the response was "you dispose it, we credit it". When a second cable broke (oh no) they wanted me to send it in though.

Sure, many cabins operate on a honor code. People hiking in this harsh environment respect the hospitality. If you don't have that kind of respect around the mountains, you won't fathom going there anyway. And yeah, it's a hi

I too was wondering about the resolution. Found it in the FAQ: > Our current spatial resolutions range from 50cm to 3m for our optical sensors and 5m for our hyperspectral sensor. SkyFi will be frequently updating and adding higher resol

Why though? I welcome it! The pile could have been used to buy land and extract rent. But no, it was pissed away in a vanity project that is now feeding a robust alternative. That is great! More billionaires should do this and take their ol

I understand you're saying that electricity generation for Bitcoin mining displaces methane flaring, which gives it negative CO2 equivalents. What grounds do we have to assume that this has a substantial effect compared to the rest of

Maybe I missed it in the article, but my main explanation for this phenomenon is based largely on me waking up before the set time and looking at the clock. I assume that I would adjust my slumber to the remaining time before the alarm. I d

Hitting the switch tests assumptions and builds confidence. That's all great when one knows the redundancy setup. In this case one doesn't, so one shouldn't. For scrappy startups where the main investor has admin access, the

It's a possibility. But the way I understand it, he thought he was somehow above board with what he was doing. At least recoverable, eventually above board. Having dark wallets would not have been consistent with that. Of course, that&

Don't the bail conditions forbid all financial transactions, even if they are in some shitcoin? Touching his wallets would violate that. So he could move funds around, but risk bankrupting his parents in doing so. The ultra-high bail m

I've been wondering about this too. The book gave me a way to think about consciousness, but I do wonder whether we'll ever see machines that use concepts at the described level. Because humans don't seem to be built that way

Wow that didn't last long. For me, that was the "Twitter is done" moment. Because it would ban away all the influencer types. So I wonder whether Twitter will recover if they reverse the policy now. I wonder who at Twitter th

I'd expect between a week and a month of operation before one of our central systems clogs. After that, many services would still respond to requests but provide stale data. Further two months I'd assume billing issues would bring

Too smart by half, this guy just doesn't shut up. Sure plays into the narrative that he's a naive kid. But painful to listen to all the scheming in the pauses of speech.

I once met this guy who was propagating his cryptography for handwritten notes. It had all the same elements. Like using multiple alternate glyphs for one char, and using filler glyphs. We got stuck arguing about the ability for humans to a

It can be argued that the resources spent on keeping Bitcoin running are disproportionately high to the utility it provides. Some would even say that the utility is negative, as it facilitates money-laundering.

Who said anything about you having to be outraged? For me, this article helped in understanding why advertisers would exit Twitter. I was wondering about that. It delivered.
