Cost and complexity of certification? At least that was why Mitsubishi MRJ never went into production. They got the first prototype flying in 6 years, then sought to obtain certification for subsequent 9 years through various means before g

That[1] used a hand picked set of ambiguous images and still got 60% overall accuracy across 11k participants. I don't know much about statistics[2], but 1) 60% HAS to be statistically significant, and it was 2) under ADVERSARIAL, not

NO OFFENSE - I think this is genuinely worth digging down that: - you identify as an artist of sorts, - you can't tell AI from human images, and - you sound absolutely pissed off by this. In my personal experience watchi

From 30-second googling: purifying Cu to from rocks to ~99% purity is done by mixing CuFeS2 found naturally with C and CaCO3 and smelting. This yields Cu2S. Then S is released by bubbling with O2. This process releases gaseous SO2. From the

IMO the problem is that most people work to earn food allotment by means so far removed from its production because those detached means appear lucrative; software engineers especially do so by proving the first order derivative of their

A lot of engineers view the touchscreen head unit to be the central nerve system of the car, when in reality it's just a peripheral. It's an accessory. It's like those gimmick CPU coolers with a watch sized display. They use

The pressure comes down through processors from Visa/MC. The new processor you sign up for gets the same phone call and give into the same set of demands, like a clockwork. The alternative has to be something that consumers of your pro

They were so deeply undercut by Chinese clone vendors that buying Prusa made little sense to consumers. They couldn't survive without banning them. The situation was similar to IBM PC, but Prusa Research was no IBM.

yeah, they seem all confined to being an American-consultant-Chinese-authoritarian split personality with broad second language capabilities. I suppose they become too incoherent otherwise.

IMO that was a really weird choice that everyone seemed to make. DDR5 2x64GB before the spike was like $250. I had not much justification to NOT go with 64GB for my pre-COVID build. It seems that a lot of PC building people are confused t

There's a small risk of CPUs and I/O pins getting fried if GND levels aren't equalized first and instead that equalizing force would go through those pins. One could argue that it's hardware designer's responsibilit

Same in Japan. There's allegedly someone making big bucks going after bittorrent users, straining ISP abuse teams and judicial systems. Interesting that Germany has laws against that.
