My Google results already have an AI response integrated, similar to the knowledge graph answers. So seemingly they are head on competing; no reason they can't still display ads next to that.

This actually strikes me as a good example (analogy?) to illustrate quantum effects -- if you let it sit it mostly approaches a flat average level, but there's still occasional "random" splashes that can reach much higher tha

In the RF world (particularly at mm-wave frequencies), even copper has very non-negligible losses. In most passive circuits conductor loss is the limiting factor of performance. No idea if this material retains the same properties at such f

How smooth and fast this is just makes me sad that every app on my phone requires 200MB to show a couple views and send API calls.

Thanks for sharing your story honestly. These are things I wish investors understood -- building good HW is just not as sexy as computer vision on the pitch deck

To be fair, most universities are great at interesting research but are also terrible at even preliminary productization. I highly doubt this $1.2M will go towards DOT paperwork and UL listing. This will go to a research prototype, then eit

Our company is developing affordable phased array antennas. The end goal is to serve the next-generation commercial wireless communications and sensing markets (e.g. 5G/6G, mmW imaging radar, etc), though as we're bootstrapped mos

Not my area of expertise, but in the video at least, they indicate that black holes have very high entropy. So if we imagine gravity eventually pulling all those planetary systems together into some number of black holes, isn't gravity

BitWarden has custom fields too, though if LP doesn't export them, then yes that's a pickle. I don't know about attachments, but notes do transfer though they're stored a few clicks deeper in the "vault". I wou

I use GnuCash for business too. My only complaint is that reports are still hard to customize. Instinctively that feels like something a web platform could do very well.

How hard would it be to export a Quickbooks file to hand over to the accountant (assuming read-only case)? Sort of like Google docs exporting to docx.

Do you need sensitive equipment to see if something is totally destroying performance? No. But arguably by definition, you need the ability to reliably measure at or below the noise floor in order to determine if some emitter is putting out

For those wondering, the source including word list is linked [1]. At a glance, the base dictionary is 2280 words; jargon is 8800; science is 575. So, definitely consider adding all the lists! That gives (check my math) ~13.5 bits entropy p

Looks nice, congrats on launch! I hope to see this concept expand beyond SaaS. My company deals a lot with government contracts, which is a slightly different beast in that they are actually semi-structured (via FAR and DFAR), but would be

Looks like this has advanced a lot since I last saw it, nice!

Wow that's very cool. The resulting super flat images of the trains is really interesting -- like taking a photo from immense distance

I bet the military would love/hate it (depending where deployed), because all that stray illumination would make for a perfect bistatic radar source. Suddenly many radars can be passive, and stealth techniques take a serious hit.

While a nice thought, the timeline (<18mo for the space-based sensor track) isn't aligned for developing anything truly new or revolutionary, just some quick reaction rehashing of existing tech (read: now with 'AI').

Pretty cool--it seems very focused on FPGA type RF backends, so stretches a bit what I'd personally call RF breadboarding (compared to actual RF circuits, power dividers, etc). I feel there's definitely a need for generally making

Which agency is this from? 30% is an insanely low indirect rate. My experience comes dominantly from DoD SBIR, where for Phase I's you propose your own indirect rate. But yes, this law is awful for SBIR companies, because we're fo

I have to imagine there's open source RTK codes out there, but I haven't looked into it. Note that depending on your application, you might not need the dual-frequency component -- that's just to reduce ionospheric error, bu

https://www.bytebucket.co/ Made as a hobby during the pandemic -- it scrapes eBay listings for laptops, and provides a parametric search (RAM, SSD etc) inspired by the likes of Digikey and Mouser, and sorts on total value.

Appreciate the free tier. I seem to recall looking around at analytics options and them being too expensive for my idle projects. Is there more documentation on "custom events" (listed on the pricing page)? I assume this is just a

Wow, I'm shocked at the level of depth in this site. I thought for sure something like "best pens for your lab notebook" would be SEO drivel, but they actually test against things like alcohol and acetone, and consider writin
