Pichai, Cook and whoever runs Amazon are excellent operators. Perhaps the best in the game. But you can't simply sit on past success.

The others don't _want_ to make chargers. They don't or want to know how. Charging infrastructure is a public good so it ought to be the government's job to incentivize it, but Tesla's supercharger network works just as

Rotations and spin are deeply tied into the geometrical nature of a space. It's not just you. It's core to understanding the nature of matter itself. Cartan had only just invented spinors as an object in themselves (ignoring cliff

Sure it does. It's just that the speed of light in non-hollow optical fiber is slower than light in a vacuum. Microsoft bought a hollow optical fiber company for a reason.

They've had a 12v version for a while, and it's quite nice despite the high voltage requirement. I made a little breakout with a boost converter. Sensirion has a slightly smaller sensor as well, SCD41 that I think works on similar

You're correct. There are more sophisticated extractors like Elias' and Peres' that do better, asymptotically achieving the upper bound given infinite data. See https://peteroupc.github.io/randextract.html

Cool as hell. Keenan Crane has excellent YouTube series on discrete differential geometry and computer graphics. Hopefully this will lead to nicer physics graphics since harmonic functions are everywhere.
