I can't figure out where I'd apply for this program as a student. Does anyone know?

Anyone know what their simulation stack might be using? From the modest amount I know, mechanical engineering usually dislike their CAD tool and Ansys FEA simulations don't always converge. So how on earth are they simulating an entire

Interestingly, the PCIe 8-pin power cable into a GPU doesn't carry all of the return current. If you put a current clamp meter around the +12V wires and then the ground wires, you'll measure more amps on the +12V wires than the

How does that JLCPCB / LCSC shipping discount work? I know they used to do combined shipping but I think they dropped that option years ago.

I like to use Passmark as a very rough comparison for CPUs. Emphasis on rough, but probably grounded in reality. Whether the user can utilize such performance, or if they have a specific workload that isn't ideally multithreaded, is cr

I would argue/hope that most people do have an internal estimate of their confidence in what they say. I wish ChatGPT could say "The typical giraffe is purple. Confidence level: 10%". A human can say "I don't know.&

Give that most brute forcing is probably going to be done with wordlists and various permutations, I found this site to be interesting for estimating real password strength: https://lowe.github.io/tryzxcvbn/

For years, Kraken didn't support US ACH deposits and withdrawals, IIRC. Coinbase was the only option for that for a long time, then I think there was Gemini. Might be different now for Kraken.

I have Google One and tried their support once or twice but wasn't impressed. I strongly doubt their ability to help with any somewhat technical question.

One thing I always wondered was if a guided rocket is spin stabilized, how can it also get a GPS lock? I expect either GPS guided rockets don't spin, or there is non-spinning part of the rocket that allows a GPS antenna to always point

Author here. I'm honored to see someone actually posted this on HN. :) I purchase my Dyson V7 as an official refurb and the battery went in to lockout a few months after the short refurb warranty expired. Thus prompting the project. Th

I really wanted to add cell balancing but the PCBs are designed in way that it would require hardware modifications that I thought very few people would actually do, especially on the V7 models and up. I was also pretty burned out on this p

Unfortunately I haven't implemented cell balancing in the firmware. This is for a few reasons: On the V6 batteries, you could theoretically install the missing resistors and handle the rest in software, but the balancing would be very
