Same, I had to Google it too but didn't even understand the pictures since they were so alien. Eventually found this page [1] which includes a basic description: A baseboard heater is a convection heater. In such heaters, cold air com

Huh? That literally says that the (higher-level) "Sceneform" library uses Filament for the PBR, isn't that the opposite of it being forgotten? What am I missing, I really don't follow Android development ...

Intel are believed to hold an Arm architectural license [1] as far as I know, they have made Arm-based things in the past. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family#Archit...

Wouldn't the small solar robot have to move pretty fast in order for the blade to be able to cut through grass? I can't imagine cutting grass very effectively by just (manually) dragging a knife through it, it will just bend out o

Can the compiler detect that and use the proper code so no test is needed at runtime? This is Zig so I guess the answer is "yeah, duh" but wanted to ask since it sounded like the solution is less, uh, "compiler-friendly"

Beautiful! Also I can't help but appreciate that the gently curved bridge makes it possible to drive to Béziers [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve

Just as a point of interest perhaps for folks who are not familiar with PCB design and modern electronics: the "huge" matrix of 21x21=441 LEDs would, with the specified LED from the bill of materials (BOM) cost all of $6. That is

That was very clearly mentioned and linked in the article, too.

Your images didn't load for me, sadly. Might be some corporate filtering. Anyway, I googled up this [1] article about supposedly original poke, and it also mentions rice and shows images of bowls with rice. Interesting! PS. As a Swedis

Thanks! I just kind of knew that a "South African guy ... something music something ... remix" had to be The Kiffness.

This feels like a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44821250 . Edit: replaced link with link to HN post, not the article in that post.

Got it, thanks. I suck at x86, even more than I thought. :/ Edit: it's CLZ on Arm [1], probably what I was looking for. [1]: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100069/0610/A32-and-...

Very nice, although I think the level of "trickery" with the macros becomes a bit much. I do understand that is The Way in C (I've written C for 30 years), it's just not something I'd do very often. Also, from a str

Good point, [1] is a handy reference on the word. Also used in the compound word "blobfish", of which [2] is a well-known specimen. [1]: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blob [2]: https://en.wikipedi

Here, "a UR5 robotic arm" is a reference to a product by Universal Robots called the UR5 [1]. That was not obvious for me, so I had to look it up. :) [1]: https://www.universal-robots.com/products/ur5e/

That is mentioned in the article, although could perhaps be more emphasized since it does mean the "obvious" fix is not possible: Commonly available protected 18650 cells don't fit in the badge's cell holders because th

It's in the second sentence of the article, so not exactly buried?

Meta: The inclusion of the current year ("(2025)") in the title is strange, even though it's in the actual title of the linked-to post, repeating it here makes me look around for the time machine controls.

It's actually the diameter that is 1,000 km, so I guess that changes the mass if assuming Lunar density to around 1.74×10^21 kg.

I can't even view the post, I just get some kind of content management system-like with the page as JSON or something, in pink-on-white. I'm super confused. :| The answer to your question seems to (still) be "no".

The smallest members of the family are 8-pin devices with 14 KB flash memory and 1 KB of RAM. They cost around $0.60 in quantities of one. That is typically not a platform where you would need/be able to se a specialized SERDES, since

Yeah, since the M777 doesn't have a napalm shell [1] that would be totally absurd! :D In fact, since I got curious, it seems nobody fires napalm out of howitzers, it's non-trivial to combine the thin easy-to-break shell skin neede

I think this is an interesting change, even though I (as someone who has loved C for 30+ years and use it daily in a professional capacity) don't immediately see a lot of use-cases I'm sure they can be found as the author demonstr

It's Australia, the rail line is 143 km (89 miles). Putting up poles and hanging catenaries over that kind of distance is probably not cheap? Either way it sounds brilliant, both simpler and better than catenaries, I like it!

Meta: the Title Casing in the title is pretty obnoxious, "Vllm" is exactly the inverse, casing-wise, of how the project spells its name.

Very cool, didn't know about this! Their website [1] has lots of more details of course, as well as pictures (or renders, not sure) of the planned products. I was bordering on being interested, since it would be cool to feel that the p
