And flashing lights are not filtered out? How can traffic even exist during Christmas season? A continuous light at least gets perceived as a path through image space. Strobes on the other hand can easily fail at getting perceived as belong

But it's also brightness: legal limits for brightness above the horizon were set in an age when light designers weren't able to do very detailed control of light distribution and the dimmed area was always a mix of some bright spo

But they wont. They will only be blinded by some surprise entity they can't put anywhere meaningful in their mental model of the traffic situation and pass by blindly.

In addition to the other replies, bigger rotors achieve their power at lower rpm. That's because blade tip speed needs to stay well below the speed of sound, at all sizes. Where small, hectic rotations are annoying, the large ones appe

Depends on how many non-remote are left. Certainly the locals won't be promoted if they haven't been hired in the first place, because the position was filed by a remote. I guess we'll see less developers getting promoted in

It's not just the price I think. Also dwindling acceptance of less than 100% skill match due to how remote makes the candidate pool much larger. Expect even more "openings" that aren't really open unless that one imagina

How many companies are there that actually implement 5G, as opposed to buying a chipset from those that do? Hardly surprising that this capability is slow to trickle down from the huge market of cellular to reuse of protocol concepts in the

Dictionary substitution is so much closer to symbolic AI than to what LLM are that I don't think it can serve as an example for the "hallucination" wording. In an expert system, if a rule is wrong or inadequate it's clea

Genius marketing for what? It's a very fitting term, because between the lines it tells all who don't refuse to listen that the correct answers are no different, they just happen to be not wrong. Dishonest marketing would be calli

Does valuation have any legal implications or is it just a number people can pat themselves on the back for until they can't? Genuine question, I don't know (but you can probably guess what I suspect)

Or a long history of remaining under the radar with similar things. People addicted to the tingle of risk-seeking can be surprisingly unaware of it.

Either not enough resolution to tweak some nuance or too many rotations needed for a wide swing. Perhaps rotaries with 256+ increments per rotation exist, but I think most are much lower. A sample I just checked seems to have 64 per turn, p

Hydrogen is a medium, not a source. In many ways it's closer to the copper in a wire than to the crude in a pipeline.

Non-renewables are just that: not renewable. Discovering yet another deposit merely postpones the end, it does not change their finite nature. Will renewables eventually become cheaper than the last scraps of fossil fuel? Absolutely! Throug

That happens, but it's far from the whole picture. When energy is cheap you grow a lot of low hanging fruit savings not taken that suddenly become worthwhile when prices rise. Market economy is ruthless about optimisation, and when a c

My KSP knowledge suggests that moving between orbits that aren't aligned costs a lot of fuel. The extra fuel you'd need to go from orbit to orbit might end up requiring more rocket capacity than sending up more duplicate dry mass

Heh, to someone not overly familiar with North American geography, the clear cutoff between off-polar orbits and the few exceptions almost looks as if they decided to turn around at the Canadian border.

They send replacements. Starlink satellites are in an orbit so low that trace atmosphere drag quickly plucks them out of the sky once they are out of fuel.

I had the same expectations. Would be a super difficult control problem I think, with stuff like the end of the tails motion range, collisions, lack of ability to predict the motions of actual limbs and so on. Perhaps a 2D model could be a
