To add to this: they had $750 million in 1963 dollars, in parts and no shipping computers; inventory control was so bad that they had to have guys with clipboards to physically go into the warehouse and count parts. They announced it and st

Cost per watt 23 years ago was likely $5-$10/watt for the panel plus the cost of the inverter etc. the Honda would be much simpler and was about $1000 USD and self contained

I like it! My own proudest moment was walking a non technical user through using “vi” to edit a config file on a SCO Unix server… over the phone.

That's not true in general especially if you weight it with population in mind, such as the wet states of NJ, PA, MD etc. that have more population; though there are areas where the states have passed laws concerning water rights where

I don’t see why not; over ten years ago the OpenVZ vm code had a way to rsync a container across the network; syncing everything; then only the pages that had changed since the start of sync; then the final pages that had changed in the las

That is not the core, however; the core means the central pieces of a large telecom, the part that handles all the needed data to set up say, 10,000 or more calls per second.

It's giving me problems and has been very inconsistent for about 90 minutes to 2 hours at this point. I got a partial refresh of my feed, but a lot is not working. The Grok AI appears down as well.

It reminds me of the song by Van Morrison about listening to (I presume shortwave) radio… “Athlone, Budapest…” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Syc4hFobLD0

Yes, but it would usually be based on the first 3 or 6 numbers of your phone number. The first 3 are of course “area code” and the 6 are called “NPA-NXX”. This has blurred some due to line number portability and cell phones.

No other religion has ever had quite the impact on the world as Christianity; but I’m not sure if that’s the context of what your pastor was saying.

I’ve recently got into old typewriters and have had the same problem with the rubbery belt that goes from the motor spindle to the larger wheel that spins the inner roller that drives the keys and returns the carriage. They turn into a ver

This could be construed as a threat, given they were the words of Lincoln's assassin.

So is it a case of “process is what matters” and not the actual results?

Just as there is an AWS for the public, with something similar but only for Federal use, so it could be possible that there is AI cloud services available to the public and then a separate cloud service for Federal use. I am sure that milit

The USSR was consistently 10-15 years behind in semiconductor fabrication ability and this did matter. China is closer, but still… BTW the ASML technology is based in part on research that was funded by the USA; which is why the USA has a

I have taken a further step back and started using an electric typewriter for my thoughts and ideas. It’s been good for me since I can’t switch away to another task without having to stand up and go to my other desk. I have written more do

No, private consumers have a choice, since Linux and FreeBSD runs well on their hardware. Microsoft is too busy shoveling their crappy AI and convincing OEMs to put a second Windows button (the CoPilot button) on their keyboards.

Lisps really only come into their own above a certain size/amount of resources. For early Lisp the PDP-11 with 2-4 MB RAM was considered to be nice. There were some Lisp implementations for the PCs but they suffered from the need for c

It's the Broadcom BCM2763, also known as the VideoCore IV. The datasheet is still available. This is happening well beyond the sensor read-out and the fact you are mentioning that, tells me you don't actually understand the arch

The issue is not what Nokia did with it, but the presence of the functionality. The binning and other features were enabled (poorly or not isn’t part of the discussion) by a chip that could do about 1 billion pixels per second; that’s the i

This is really a puff piece - for instance, Nokia had a 1 billion pixels per second processing pipeline on their 808 PureView phone. In 2012.

GrandView is a fantastic outlining program! I think it’s a great idea to have it installed.

Foxes are known however to be quite tricky and deceptive, as are fox spirits; for instance in the Hungarian film "Liza, the Fox-Fairy (2015)" and of course the well-known Japanese kitsune.

Back in the late 1990s I met the ATI guys, and they were slipshod then as well. That the ATI legacy of special-casing things lives on is sadly, not too surprising for me.
