They're inefficient because they skimp on a motor for a forced circulation pump. Otherwise, ammonia/water absorption chillers are quite efficient.

There are open source LTE stacks, they just suffer from lack of power efficiency. Not too bad in a gaming laptop form factor, but quite bad in a smartphone.

seL4 actually makes proofs for some core isolation promises, like realtime-ness and data flow adhering to capabilities (though with neglect of side channels for that aspect, which can be corrected for by also verifying the code that runs on

Formal verification of not having such fatal bugs would allow a real-time system without reliance of backups to not screw up, but still of course having logs/rollbacks for (human) input actions to cope with mistakes. It's just tha

Microsoft Research is essentially hoarding technology that goes substantially beyond mere `rr`. Especially when async/coroutine models are involved. It's locked behind the really expensive (like 10k or so? For I guess a seat a yea

While good so much for APL, plover is quite suited to writing something like python. Also it would be likely that you wrote more words then dense code, just did to comments and team communication.

The tolerances shouldn't be a problem with some iterative design of the tools so today the parts fit together perfectly when made from same-age molds. It's just a lot of effort you can't afford unless you go through a bunch o

And then there was Nervana Systems's maxas effort that, in Maxwell days, exceeded cuBLAS and was edging theoretical FLOPs despite the penalty paid for address calculations which on that architecture compete with single precision FLOPS.

Old PAL typically used a quartz prism that served as a folded bulk acoustic wave delay line, using an ultrasonic transducer and exciting the low syndic range of a composite signal to get by with cheap transducer electronics.

You need to activate the (somewhat slow?) inline-stack-aware addr2line integration/usage for optimized builds. It doesn't place them there, they exist there (due to inlining).

The nanowire localizes the photons in space, time, and energy. APDs can't do energy. The cryogenics allow using cryogenic-level bandgaps/carrier-energies, so each optical photon turns into many carriers which then flow out the wir

You can, instead of auto-activating arbitrary-connected keyboards as keyboard-input-devices to applications, only do that when they have a specific physical path. On Linux for example that'd be possible via tuned/changed udev rule
