Yeah, what this guy is doing is a bit on the reckless side. But even if you do make a Frankenstein vehicle (which I have done, although it was my own), the liability is not going to be on the vehicle manufacturer. If you sue the manufacture

There are a number of areas on vehicles where failure can lead to injury or death. The reality, though, is that these systems are designed to fail gracefully, and most people that work on cars know how to respect them. Take brakes for examp

It comes down to why you like manuals. If it's for the pleasure of working through the gears, then you're out of luck. If it's for the instant throttle response, no slushyness from the torque converter, or being able to chose

According to your link, Thalidomide was introduced in 1957, and banned in Canada and most European countries by the early 60's. I really, really hope that the FDA and EMA have improved their methodology in the past 50 years.

It's a distraction from the fact that Michael Cohen might cooperate with Mueller, Paul Manafort is currently in prison, and it just became public that Roger Stone had another meeting with the Russians.

I'm pretty happy with my setup. My garage shares a wall with my living room, so I put the tower out there. I then ran high quality, 25' long dvi and usb cables to the desk in my living room. Edit: I currently have two gtx1050 in i

C-like code that runs on GPUs is not even close to normal C, even though the syntax is similar. The way you layout your memory, schedule your threads, and add memory barriers is completely different. You are never going to take a piece of l

This is something that I've wondered about. There is nothing about Tensorflow (for example) that is specific to CUDA. Why doesn't AMD dedicate a couple of engineers to port it? They don't even have to do a complete job. Only
