Plasticity, a 3D CAD modeling tool, (which has been covered here before [0]) is going to move away from the C3D Kernel in order to support better direct editing and to avoid the risks and moral issues of working with a Russian vendor. [0]

In the long video, this question gets asked. They kinda punt and say it's the same as for other li-ion batteries. To me that means barely anything is happening yet.

This company seems like the real deal, and it seems like they have managed to actually start manufacturing cells. What they haven't done, is create batteries which are likely to be used in electric vehicles which carry people yet. The

I used it to run Pro/Engineer (now called Creo) in the mid-90s. Prior to that, it only ran on Unix workstations from Sun, SGI, etc. I also had Macs for personal stuff at the time. I remember NT being remarkably stable in comparison to

Fascinating and well documented. The tl;dr: basically some models of iPhone and Watch use particular MEMS 32kHz clocks (instead of larger crystal clocks) which aren't sealed well enough to keep out small molecules like helium. It can s

I have a MacBook Pro which supports P3, and a decent Dell 4k monitor which does not. Side by did I can't see any blatant difference between them other than what happens when you tweak the brightness. It would be really interesting to h

Yeah. I discovered that after sharing the text from the NYTimes. It's a bit odd. The NYTimes is describing what was said to "executives as senior as Kent Walker, the president of global affairs", but without a direct quote. I

It sounds like despite all the stories about how hard it is to get through many rounds of difficult interviews at Google, they managed to hire someone who believed LaMDA is a 7 or 8 year old child. "Mr. Lemoine, a military veteran who

I would be happy if Google and Yelp could even get the opening hours of restaurants correct. With Covid, and even now that things have been re-opening and getting busier, so many places have incorrect hours or are outright closed for good,

Like the author, I was fortunate enough to be inspired by some of the early electronic music including Carlos and minimalists like Glass, and Reich. My public high school was very spoiled and we had an EML 101, 200 and 400, as well as some

For some reason the Guardian's link to the original study doesn't work. This does: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-12677-5 I've only managed to skim it so far, but it seems like there was a lo

Yes, these are both real risks. There are potential solutions. There are so many job levels at big companies like Microsoft. A candidate who is weaker could interview for software engineer 3 (made up title for example) and be offered a soft

Yep. Came here to say something similar. It's amazing how far up their own butt people can get with this stuff. Sure the intended audience for this blog would know what all this stuff is, but it's comical how little sense it makes

I had the pleasure of working with Tom Oberheim and Roger Linn, and can corroborate. I wish I had the opportunities to work with the rest of that list. At some level, people go into this business because it's a labor of love. The skill

As much as his synths are great and have had a huge impact, the impact of MIDI is hard to overstate. It changed the way music was written, recorded and performed by giving a common electronic format for playing notes, changing timbres, sync

I've been using vector-based object-oriented drawing programs since MacDraw came out in 1984. This program does many things which are counter to to 4 decades of design patterns for such programs (e.g. Adobe, Microsoft, and Apple drawin

Be careful with appraisers. They essentially make money by making you feel like your collection of stuff is worth something and worth insuring. If you get things appraised multiple times over many years, you better believe that they will co

If this was accurate and legal, it would be super useful. I've worked on countless projects where the client was some large company and needed their official logo on a product. It often takes them a surprising amount of time to dig aro

It's not clear who your product is for. "Everyone" is the wrong answer, BTW. If you try to make everyone happy, you usually end up making no one happy. It's super important to focus on actual user problems. 1. Is this so

This is one of many cool projects from Amanda Ghassaei [0]. It's from 2017 when she was at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms. She went on to do some work based on this at Adobe [1], and is now doing independent consulting. [0] http
