Sapphire on the higher end ones, "Ion-X" (gorilla glass) on the cheaper ones. Sapphire is more expensive than chemically strengthened glass.

I believe someone once characterized AWS success as stemming from hacking around procurement and IT policies in sclerotic organizations. One approval, one admin => all services.

Fun fact: the USB4 20Gbps mode is not the same as the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps mode! That means there are 3 different 20Gbps cables if you include TB3.

Yep it seems like the "equitable" solution to failing children is to simply redefine success. Really, truly worrying that instead of focusing resources to help kids improve and overcome a challenge the answer is to remove the chal

No there isn't. There's a bunch of evidence that the current model used for cosmological dynamics (Friedmann's equations) don't work unless there's a lot of undetected stuff called dark matter. Until someone rules o

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" A lot of so-called experts don't quite grasp the former and don't care about the latter. They cannot be relied upon for actual decision making, since the low level details are

>Some people seem to view companies like a game of SimCity, where if you want more money, you can turn a knob, increase taxes, and get more money, uniformly impacting the city. But companies are not a game of SimCity. If you want more at

The issue is high level = any detectable level above zero, especially if man made and easily preventable. Allowing leaded avgas has always been a policy decision to cater to GA over the health of, among others, children.

No level of lead is safe in children, so even that is concerning.

1 step forward and two steps back. Now it has 2 soon-to-be obsolete ports — HDMI 2.1 and SD Express aren’t supported. All to save a dongle? If you’re carrying around a magsafe cable you can carry a dongle. The slimmer design of the 2016 gen

Tesla use silicon carbide which has favorable temp and reliability over Gan for higher voltage operation.

They are only theoretically possible if you allow for negative mass and energy--not an engineering problem so much as a "need to find exotic matter" Basically people ran the EFE "backwards" to see what matter distributio

https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3010/a-look-at-cerebras-wafer... Power fed vertically. Not sure it's BPR specifically, but they do mention ~50% efficiency improvement in the PDN so it's comparable.

This has already happened with cerebras and tesla dojo at least.

If the ftc had teeth it would be good for it to a enforce restraint of trade laws against hardware lock-in like this. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

How else would you represent a branch cut or even a jump at 0? https://people.freebsd.org/~das/kahan86branch.pdf from the father of ieee-754 is illuminating.

Numerical analysts are definitely familiar. Library authors may not be unless they took a course in function approximation. Personally I prefer chebyshev approximants like chebfun but pade are really good at the cost of a division.

Potentially very useful but $15 per month is a lot to ask. A full Office 365 subscription with apps is less than this :(

Exactly. Cadillac Desert is a great account of the water politics of California and it also highlights that the agreements and contracts were set during an unusually wet period. Growing water intensive crops in the high desert is insanity.

I think this was the point of WG. OpenVPN/IPSec/etc are beasts since they include all of the above. OpenVPN is TLS based! That makes adding it into the kernel difficult, and you need kernel access or exotic stuff like VPP/DPD

I'm not sure what you're looking for. EM fields so strong that they affect spacetime noticeably? We haven't observed any Reissner-Nordstrom/Kerr-Newman black holes iirc. That said, _anything_ with stress-energy-momentum

No, local euclidean-ness is (more or less) the equivalence principle. The locality could be very small though! But it would break GR if local flatness weren't possible.

That's why they did the boosters too.
