I'm going to assume all these companies did their homework and NACS is a real open standard, not something under Tesla's boot. In which case, great! This is the outcome I was hoping for. NACS is the better and more popular conne

It would be interesting to have something between threads and processes. I'll call them heavy-threads for sake of discussion. Like light-threads, heavy-threads would share the same process-security-boundary and therefore switching betw

Great. Another feature that gets ruined by advertisers before it even gets used in earnest.

Right, but this is art someone is paying to store at a warehouse so they see it as an investment. So they aren't going to donate it to a museum but might loan it for display. Which happens all the time but it tends to be a very small s

Even at museums the vast majority of their collection is stored in a warehouse somewhere. There's never enough room in the gallery to show it all. There's also the matter of properly displaying works in context, lighting, etc. And

AMD ROCm vs Nvidia CUDA has been discussed to death, but I'm curious how AMD fares compared to some of the AI training accelerator vendors. I think it would be much more damning if AMD were worse than some upstart, because the upstart

I think we've seen over the past decade that countries are really quick to excuse acts of war because they don't want to go to war. See: cyber attacks, novichok, shooting down civilian airliners, spy balloons, Nordstream 2, rammin

In export-oriented industries, countries often (forcibly) merge all (or many) of their relevant companies into one (or few) companies in order to make them more efficient and internationally competitive. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doe

Walmart is merging with Costco? I kid. The American grocery market is far less consolidated than e.g. the Canadian one. Perhaps there is a minimum size necessary for an efficient grocery chain, or perhaps Canadian anti-trust enforcement is

Nuclear has been and is being invested in. Governments fund a huge amount of nuclear R&D and also often heavily subsidize plant construction. When utilities crunch the numbers to decide what to invest in building, they overwhelmingly do

Interesting. In iconography I often see an allusion to a zipper being used as if compressing an overfilled suitcase.

For the price of a mifi and a pi you can get a cellular wifi router and run code directly on there. Either from "random string of characters" on Amazon or Mikrotik or Teltonika. Then you have something designed to run 24/7 an

You could use a mechanical 60 to 50Hz converter. Basically a motor connected to a generator. They tend to be very expensive but maybe there are options. If I were making something for this problem I would make an AC-DC-AC converter with a P

The value of new code anyone can write in a reasonable amount of time pales in comparison to the value of all the code which has already been written.

Maybe we should revive U.2 on consumer desktops. The vast majority of desktops will be fine with only a single M.2 drive, but back in the day the vast majority of desktops were fine with a single SATA drive and yet motherboards commonly cam

They'd still have to pay a patent license after paying the damages. Edit: though it says they're trying to work around the patents left in the case, so perhaps not.

It's interesting looking at all the new PC products which were obviously designed ~2 years ago and are not really suited to the current market conditions. E.g. the new AMD CPUs are too expensive, the new AMD + Nvidia GPUs are too expen
