Parents usually don't want others, especially companies, spending all their time trying to get their kids addicted to stuff, influencing their minds, and changing their behavior. There's a lot that can go wrong with letting random

I've designed power supplies and I can tell you that the "density" of the test doesn't matter so much as the validity of the test. One way we assess stability is by doing frequency sweeps. What allows us to infer stabi

Keyservers. You decide which keyservers to register with and to trust for verifying others. Browsers would handle en-decryption automatically and allow you to flag, filter, or finger (in the Unix sense).

It doesn't work like that. Testing doesn't enumerate the physical design space. It only enumerates a model . Only very simple theoretical models can be enumerated in practice. We have to design with much more sophisticated and ac

No. As the article explains, it's illegal to physically block access to the land, and it's legal to climb over man-made obstacles like fences.

Recipe writers are the original large language models, making up superfically plausible bullshit to waste our time on.

One of the systemic issues that needs fixing is the gatekeeping itself. Weeding out serves no purpose because there's work besides just analog ic design roles. Industry complains because undergraduate programs have become so detached f

We're in complete agreement. It does make things worse. It's a stupid partial mitigation with serious downsides for a profoundly stupid problem.

There just isn't much interest. HPC focuses on distributed and product doesn't care about open source. That mostly leaves just professors and oddballs.

Of course. I'm just explaining why it kind of makes sense that the student would be the customer in the current messed-up system.

I agree. The better solution is to do away with unforgivable debt.

Also after taking away the ability to forgive federal student loan debt through bankruptcy, there needs to be a way for students to advocate for their outcomes because there's no remedy if it doesn't go well for them.

I've done some MOOCs and I think that should at least be an option for most classes. The current system is still very medieval and hasn't adapted enough to modern reality.

You would not use capacity factor to calculate capacity in the first place, it's the other way around. The 36% guestimate probably comes from somewhere besides these tables. The lower gas capacity factors you quoted are mostly a result

I'm an electrical engineer, I don't know much about biology. Electrical is well-suited to modeling with ordinary differential equations. By making design decisions such that linear time-invariance is a valid assumption, we unlock

You've completely missed the author's point. The code itself takes negligible time and effort to write himself. Accepting code from someone else takes more time and effort than it saves.

Exactly. There are so many benefits and zero downsides. Even if someone follows with "RTFM" anyway, it doesn't automatically create a rude culture so much as it rudely informs you of the etiquette for participating in a helpf

Like you said, you first have to learn to reason about a circuit. You'll need some broadly applicable skills that give you insight, not more connect-the-dots recipes or brute-force math. There are many insightful graphical techniques t
