Best overall is just a start. Typically I have more specific needs, depending who is joining, what I had this week already. Now that you have the data, you could ask an LLM to rate each restaurant (from comments and website and menu) to fi

I understand that historically it was 16 2/3 Hz and power transfer from to the 50 Hz grid was done via 1:3 mechanical coupling with a motor and generator. That was a ratio easily achievable with gears. Nowadays with switched power supp

I've built a KNX house about 10 years ago and I'm still quite happy. Let me share some experience: Having the light switch on the smartphone does not make it any smarter, just more complex. The following automations are the most v

I'm glad they only thought about it, but did not implement SF6 flooding of the chamber. No need to vent it to the atmosphere just for fun. But controlling the internal pressure? I would expect that only a small difference would be need

What I understand from the presentation Many Volkswagen cars somehow report telemetry. Looks like there is data not only from the EVs based on the MEB plattform? But for a Name/email to be associated with the VIN of the car, the owner

The article says "at the start of the join operation the bits will be set in the bloom filter". So maybe this is built for every query? Would be needed anyway if there is a where clause for the joined table.

Great idea and writeup! One important feature is missing: From a proper search function I would expect to know how often my string is found. It could be that my password is rare, or that it is rather common. I need to know! Could the search

I could imagine some candidates starting with their default tools like this, and start complaining about the cluster performance after a few weeks. You need a certain way of thinking to have a gut feeling "this could be expensive"

Wow - that rental situation sounds painful. Almost like malicious compliance to discourage EV usage. Around 2019 I rented an EV from a retired enthusiast, and this included all bells and whistles, charging cards and cables. Pricey back then

Most people miss, that you do not need a full and fast charging infrastructure at home. I rarely need to fill the car from empty. I rarely need to jump on the next multi hour trip right away. If you "stay with family" I assume thi

I really like the aestectics, even if physically wrong at the edges. Thanks for sharing the details. As a embedded developer, I feel this is kind of wasteful. Every client computes an "expensive" blur filter, over an over again? J

I love that he openly discusses the paths he went wrong and how more accuracy could be found. Detection threshold from the sensor or avoiding accidental synchronization to the monitor are not obvious pitfalls. The mini ASCII histogram is s

You would be doing "lucky imaging" to get around atmospheric disturbances. Basically, you take 100 images with <100msec exposure times. You check which ones were good, and discard 95 of them. Then you overlay the good ones. Th

I can imagine situations where I hold something, thinking "this needs to go there". Cleanup, but also moving days, gardening, construction. I like the concept of the "luggage from sapient pearwood" - maybe tell it where

A camera+lens set up to 5 micron/pixel will have a shallow depth of field. I looked up some numbers: The pixels of the camera are 4.6um, so the likely used a 1:1 makro lens (likely the HC 4/120mm). You will capture a 53x40mm regio

Right. Fpgas shine if you have high data rates (multi Gigabit on single/dual pins), low latency, lots of similar computation (multiply accumulate), a lot of complex pipelined logic and if you need to be really compact at the same time.

Same understanding: On the receiver side, we are going to drop duplicates (by processing, or by having no effect on the grass cutting any more). Thus, the end user is then seeing only one effect, one message delivered. The effect of delive

I would love to see some footage off that in a throw - I would expect a blurry mess. With panono, they captured a single shot at the highest point in a throw. In daylight, short exposure time. Only when throwing straight up without strong r

The diagrams for the new west south and east zones still show a lot of wires going all across the vehicle. This step might be a good first one to reduce the number of ECUs by combining them, but there is still the same cross-car wiring. You

The article is indeed hard to understand on its own. From the linked 2022 paper: BLE sends beacons hundred times per minute, even from phones. For privacy reasons the Mac addresses are randomized. The attacker can further analyze the beacon

It sucks to realize that someone else beat you to a proper release. Happened in my last job, we went though the stages of grief just as the author here. In the end you learned a lot about new technology, about your pace of development, abou

It is great to see that this is accessible and possible with limited effort/budget! On the higher speeds, it remains difficult: In the datacenter, 10G ethernet is often standard or even outdated. But for non-mains powered systems, even

I would go with something like sift features (or a non patented variant thereof if you plan commercial usage). You analyze a first picture and extract the center part. You run a feature detector on each image and the can cheaply match (scal

I understand your hesitation in opening the code. Still, the idea seems really great, low complexity (quick local processing, no database of songs needed) and robust (any reasonable vinyl could work). I suggest considering writing about it.

I agree. Depending on the type of hypothetical website, you could expect that most traffic comes e.g. during the week at business hours, or maybe in the evening after work. You need to design for that spike in workload (maybe 10x?) There w

Yes - shovel and bucket. I took 50cm rings each, for a total of 9 for 4.5m. They weigh about 300kg each and could be rolled into the garden. I got some scaffolding pipes and built a "gantry" over my hole. We could lower them by

I went to 4.5m - the rings did not slide easily any more as we paused for a year. If you work on it right away, you can go much further I went with an inner diameter of 1m, this is fine for a small shovel, a pump, a small jackhammer. Concre
