The official Blackpink (kpop group) light sticks from one of their tours have this functionality built in. The annoying part is that one of their Spotify albums have this 18-20khz control track present, and (when I was younger) I could hear

This seems surprisingly cheap for what you get! Excited to see what people cook with this

I agree. The cartoons felt literally like the comics brought to life.

Huh, it just hit me that when a binary is "portable" it's "port"-able to a different system. I don't think I ever connected those two meanings before.

that's the max temp beyond which it loses superconductivity, not a requirement. The paper has a graph of max current vs temp, and it gets vastly better at actual room temp of ~300k

In a normal conducting material eddy currents dissipate relatively quickly. The shard of material in the magnet video appears to be floating quite stably for dozens of seconds, which implies that eddy currents are not being dissipated. I&#x

Huh, same! I remember the changeover happened sometime around fifth grade, so 2011-12 for our district? (Strangely enough our school's wifi used WEP until 2014ish. I remember the password was obviously contrived to the right length)

That's how Type 2 cables in Europe work, at least for L2 AC charging. DC chargers have built in cables, probably because the wire gauge needs to be a lot thicker to support the current (why haul all that around?) and for water cooling

How would you begin trying to "solve" something you don't understand the internals of? Much like you can't assess whether a person has ulterior motives just by talking to them over text, how could you be sure the model i

Lol same, I was like "yeah this is Appalachia for sure, why not WV", clicked somewhere in the middle of the state, and got 14 miles :)

Yeah, the pack-in toy title Astros Playroom for PS5 is probably the gold standard for Dualsense haptics implementations. It's legitimately immersive, and turns the game from a 'meh' generic themed platformer into an actually

You could rent a VPS with AVX512 support and tinker around with it. I believe GCP has a few instance types that support it, AWS surely has some too.

I believe most vehicle AC compressors run directly off of the serpentine belt (12v power comes from the engine anyway, why send it through the alternator and battery?) or, in the case of electric cars, off of the ~400v traction battery. The

Is this claim substantiated? I've seen all sorts of opinions ranging from "use European sunscreens containing non-FDA-approved UVA filters" to "just rub lard on skin, drink raw milk, and lift heavy weights". I feel

I've said this before, but Apple's attention to detail might finally bridge the uncanny valley to actually good AR. I can elaborate a bit more when I get on my computer.

No kidding. This honestly felt like something out of Hunger Games, with some obviously well-off, out-of-touch, work-from-home dweebs wearing this unit to show off their status to their Apple ecosystem social circle. And then we have Disney!

This really is technology wrapped up in an experience that feels magical. I'm decently familiar with the state of the HMD industry and I reckon they're a solid 5 to 7 years ahead of Meta in terms of processing power and display te
