I've heard this before, but when I dig in it seems like it's not true. Newer cars (gas or EV) are more complicated, more crowded, more sensors, more cables, etc. Even replacing a bumper is labor intensive, often requires messing

Say your success rate for replicating CUDA+Nvidia hardware on AMD is 60%. But it will take 2 years. That's not going to be compelling for any large org, especially when the MI300x is cheaper, but not crazy cheaper than an h100. Espec

I'm pretty sure it's generally 1 spider per web, and I thought blackwidows (assuming they are still alive) take down the webs when done. So presumably you have quite a few spiders. In any case here's a discussion of said pap

It's been awhile, but I was reading about black widows. Apparently the better fed they are, the worse the web, so they don't over feed. A chaotic web is a sign that the black widow spider is well fed and not hungry.

Nokia lacked vision. They had a widget much like the original iphone, with better resolution (800x480 vs 480x320), had an app store, and has a user friendly GUI. Rather ironically Nokia wouldn't add a WAN chip to their WIFI nokia 770

Apple? I believe the X925 has better IPC than the M4, and better geek bench scores. They don't particularly compete though since you can't buy a M4 CPU without buying a rather expensive system. Not like the M4 is going to have

Sort of, the red shift continues towards infinity, but since photos are quantitized there is a last photon. Also don't forget even if you freeze forever as viewed by an external observer, the blackhole is growing, and will at some poin

Maybe, but if we found or made a tiny black hole, something could be beyond the event horizon just before it evaporates. Or maybe spin it fast enough so the singularity is visible.

No stable orbits exist within 1.5 x the event horizon radius, so just outside that should suffice, just watch for anything else falling in.

For non-spinning blackholes (much like spherical cows that physicts use to simplify things) that's true. For spinning blackholes not to much. The singularity turns into a ring, the center of which the gravity cancels out.

Well imagine you are X distance from the singularity, and time dilation is hugely slowing down time from an external observer. As blackholes approach each other, the distance between the singularity and the event horizon significantly decr

Non-spinning and non-charged blackholes are called Schwarzschild or static black hole is a simple beast. You have a event horizon, a mass, and a slightly strange area near the event horizon where orbits are unstable, I believe within 1.5 t

Right, but say you end up half way between two equal mass blackholes, under zero gravitational force. Are those two black holes definitely going to merge? If they were going near light speed in opposite directions could they not merge an

I've seen this vaguely referenced, but when I dig in I don't find support for it. It's far from obvious that just because the event horizons (which is just a mathematical concept and a 3D area of space) should control the tra

Getting past the event horizon of a small blackhole is tough, the gravitational gradient causes spaghetification. However larger blackholes lessen the gradient at the event horizon, so it's not a problem. Not sure about the inner hori

From the external view you never enter, just get dimmer as you approach the speed of light and the time dilation keeps increasing. From the viewpoint of the one falling in, you just fall in and cross the horizon without noticing. Does make

Apple ships 128 bit, 256 bit, and 512 bit wide memory interfaces on laptops (up to 1024 bit wide on desktops). Is it feasible to fit memory bandwidth like the M3 Max (512 bits wide LPDDR5-6400) with LPCAMM2 in a thin/light laptop?
