Then the obvious solution is to put solar panels over parking spots at work. Doesn't need to be that much power, 1-2kW is enough if the car sits there all day (for typical distances people commute with cars)

As european and a driver of a model 3, I would also not consider buying a tesla again. It's not the car, it has some flaws, I never bought into the FSD bullshit and basically knew what I was going into. But now it more and more feels l

Like in serbia with operation "Allied Force"? You can question the official story, but that was not for control over natural resources.

Strange patent. At first glance you could do something similar with an intel 8052AH BASIC (a 8051 type microcontroller with integrated basic interpreter) back in the 90ies.

That "don't hit anything under any circumstances" is incompatible with USA-typical "stand our ground" and "right of way" philosophy of doing things.

I think you can implement self driving without general AI, but it has to be really defensive, err on the cautious side, and that means it can't travel faster that 10 to 25 kph, like a bicycle basically. That car will have a "safe

My tesla model 3 on "autopilot" (just keep speed) will ghost break if it sees some cars merging into an adjacent lane. Really dangerous, nobody expects a car decelerating from 130kph down to 50 on the nearly empty Autobahn. My pre

With zigbee you can directly pair a switch / motion sensor to a smart bulb so it works independent of any automation.

I don't know what apple is doing, but in theory, it should be possible to measure ohmic resistance of the coil, and infer temperature via PTC coefficient of coil material. The effect isn't very big at temperature differences you c

Once upon a time (Tcl??/Tk3.6) there was XF by Sven Delmas. It had some issues and really would have needed something like namespaces. AFAIR it took forever to get a stable version for Tk4.0.

I was under the impression that the concept of social market economy is a conservative project, CDU resp. ÖVP (in Austria). I wouldn't call that socialist, after all, it is a competitive market economy with private enterprise.

You are right, its a GE design. Boiling Water Reactor doesn't say that much, the soviet RBMK (big reactor with tubes) also are of boiling water type. This ORF story https://noev1.orf.at/stories/504751 (in german)

It is one single westinghouse reactor of the same type that was used in Fukushima II. So essentially 60ies technology. I'm no nuclear expert but there surely is much improved more efficient and safer reactor technology now, not to spea

The stated tolerances of typical manufacturing processes seem to be off by at least an order of magnitude. Not that it does make sense to give a tolerance number without some magnitude it applies to, nonetheless, 0.125mm stated tolerance of

They seem to target quality control in manufacturing (semiconductor, electronics etc...). What is puzzling to me is that even your typical atom is an order of magnitude larger than that claimed resolution.

A large sun shade for an object in low earth orbit shouldn't be that much of a problem. Transferring a liquid in microgravity should be equally difficult regardless if it's cryogenic or not.

I'm curious why a crygenic fuel is harder to transfer in space than something like kerosene? Space is cold, so my naive idea is that a crygenic fuel is easier to keep liquid (non-frozen).

You can get pretty far nowadays with preempt rt and an FPGA. Maybe you even can get near 1µs max jitter. One problem with the older RPis was unpredictable (to me) behaviour of the hardware, i.e. "randomly" changing SPI clocks, and
