Did you design the board? It looks sick, such high density of components on the top layer.

Although I agree in the basis, it is more complex than just selfishness. In this war we have already been primed and aligned. Europe has been effectively aligned with Ukraine, whether it was through propaganda or plain high quality media co

Ohh I hadn't thought of there being cheaper ones on ebay. That's a good tip, I'll check it out for our next upgrade. We're doing photogrammetry not machine learning, running some blackbox software that scaled best with c

We run 4x 2080s on threadripper systems. What sort of trouble did you run into? I thought threadripper has plenty of PCIe lanes. We didn't have any trouble but it could be I missed something, we had to get it working quick and I didn&#

Well, no crypto expert ever predicted this. The idea of NFT's has pretty much been discounted by everyone in the crypto community for a decade, until they randomly became a fad in 2021. So I wouldn't say it's very easy to ima

No one spends hundreds of millions on audio engineering. Or at least, not at achieving the best audio experience. The company that spends the most on audio R&D are probably Bose, and their whole goal is to produce speakers that look

Am I understanding mesh shading correctly if I'm explaining it like this? In the traditional rendering pipeline you unpack triangles on the CPU, and then send them to the GPU, which then maps them to screenspace and then shades in the

Do you mean .value when writing a component that's some sort of form field? How do you refer to that value in Svelte components? edit: oh nvm, we haven't upgraded our codebase to Vue 3 yet, there are a lot more ".value"&

I hadn't realized that was a different kind of record (150M degrees for over 1000 seconds). I suppose the ions have more mass than the electrons so that temperature is harder to maintain, but I have no idea about the physics of having

Nope, it's just the expected gradual progression to the game-changing result that fusion eventually is going to be.

This might be true in the US, but because of stringent building requirements construction cost definitely is a problem for affordable housing in the UK and in some European countries. Here in The Netherlands it certainly is not possible to

The liability-free fast tracked vaccine that doesn't actually mitigate transmission greatly restored my belief that we might survive the next large event. It was rolled out quickly, and it actually greatly reduced mortality. Reducing t

It also doesn't have anything to do with Haskell or it looking somewhat like Haskell. I'm very comfortable in Haskell, and Nix looks awful to me. It's not that it's functional or it's declarative, it's that it&

Thanks that's interesting! Definitely not outraged, was just poking a bit for fun. 50MM is an insane amount of money/value that would bankrupt most companies and have a noticable impact on many industries. Funny that for Facebook

Even though it's software engineering, which supposedly isn't really engineering, you can still apply engineering principles. Disregarding all the bullshit debates about whether Rust is better than Go, there are actually differenc

I've lived in various cities of The Netherlands for most of my life. Almost every bike I've ever had was stolen. I'm pretty sure leaving my bike unlocked for over half an hour has been a 90% loss rate for me. I've never

I don't follow, what do you mean? Is there blind ignorance in my comment? edit: oh you mean you don't understand how something can be a superset of something else without being the same set. So I'm saying there's long te

It is long term thinking. But long term thinking is not necessarily 2nd order thinking. It's basically good long term thinking, where you don't just come up with a plan that addresses a problem, but you also enumerate all the seco

What the heck petercooper, first link I got on this site: https://hnpredictions.github.io/?p=3007 and he predicts an oil crash in the next year which then happens spectacularly. I hope he put some money on that and not just

There's a company in the UK that has already built multiple test reactors: https://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk/ The more the better of course, but I'm not sure why more people would need to know of them, it's not

No, that's just a different way of writing Q. There is not a continuous gradient along which nuclear fusion research progresses. It will have a negative $/kWh ratio until the first commercial plant is built. Until then it's m

It says in the article that the person has benefited financially from this. It's not about making open source, I don't know why people are raising that red herring. Implementing a mixer is (probably) not illegal in The Netherlands

Unreal Blueprints isn't low code, it's just code, and it doesn't need to replace "real" coding because it is real coding. It does raise the question where the line is. Something that I'd consider a low code &#x

I really like my Karcher, I've used it for about 5 years now. It's been through a full gutting of my house and the subsequent rebuild and refinish. If I had more money to spend I'd get an M-class vac, but the cheapest one is

by tinco 4y ago
Maybe that's true for small consumer expenses, but for things like shop vacs it's really not true. If you spend $100 on a shop vac you'll get a low end shop vac. If you spend $400 or more, you'll get a Bosch or a Festool

The drones were great, and expensive. I don't get how they couldn't make a profit. They only had one model too, it took DJI another 4 years before it had an acceptable rival in the industrial class. It was a simple drone too, it c

The minus button makes it really easy to sift through comments. Much easier than finding the interesting paragraphs in an article actually. A blog post might have required some deep thought, as the author says not as much as a book, but pro

They could be used for forestry, replacing concrete by using them for LVL beams. You could just leave them where they are and let nature do the process of incorporating the carbon into the soil.
