Not an expert in the field, but it's possible to convolve a signal on the recorded impulse response of a room [1] or a 'Slinky' toy [2], or that of a subjectively 'desirable' piece of audio equipment [3]. The result

Not much later, and with its own completely different tech for auto navigation, came the Etak Navigator / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etak . A good bit of SV history there.

NPR sussed out what looks to me like "FNaaS" (Fake News as a Service (tm))[1]. The company's called "Disinfomedia". Does FNaaS constitute shouting fire in the crowded theatre that is FB? [1] http://www.n

We can't have sidetone nor full duplex in wide area cellular telephony because end-to-end latencies become so long the far-end echos go beyond asthetically disconcerting. Try this just for fun: Call someone right next to you via your c

I've found enduring value in these things: * Understanding binary vs decimal math, deeply. Implementing decimal math out of integers nothing else is available. * Understanding locking strategies and the need for shared data protection

Let's look at who's behind it, what it is, how it can be used, and where the benefits accrue: * Who: NRG, while not a utility, is an owner of utility-scale generation capacity. They wholesale electricity to utilities for distribu

Zigurd, I doubt the "direct" 'gas to electricity' claim in this press release. Near the bottom the press release admits the conversion /isn't/ actually "direct", stating: If the fuel cell hea

It's history that goes /way/ back to the circuit-switched phone call days, and monopoly behavior. Here's my take on it: To stop the high-priced no-progress monopoly behavior of the old AT&T in the long-distance telep

Another concept for V2G possibilities, perhaps with more predictability and utility than personal vehicle V2G. No info on battery longevity, and the economic analysis assunes a 14-year vehicle lifespan.

Preceding his accomplishments at Sportvision, Stan Honey created, in 1985, an automobile navigation system showing your car's position on a moving map. This was before Google Maps, before GPS, and before digital maps of cities. You co

I think that means the (emulated) machine is filled out to a full 64KiB. In the days of "4K BASIC", and 4KiB memory boards, a full 64KiB would have been impossibly expensive, but BASIC didn't care: The "Bytes Free"

A little bit more info and clarification here [1]. What I find so clever is that the containment is about as simple as a "hot bucket", hot enough to keep the anode, electrolyte and cathode always molten. The are materials chosen
