Unfortunately no. Whatever power you generate you have to send somewhere. Excess generation will push the grid frequency high and destabilize the grid in much the same way that insufficient generation will pull the frequency down and dest

The core of EE is Fourier analysis and BCI is no exception but you should be strong there because you've studied applied math. Most of your target books are good after your HN update, but one thing you are missing that will probably m

Physics and EE have a lot of overlap and exposure to analog circuits in undergrad is pretty shallow. There will typically be a class that covers RLC and switched circuits in time and frequency domain and the basic uses of amplifiers and fi

Kalman filters are linear while Particle Filters are not necessarily. This can have a lot of implications depending on what you are doing.

Silicon Valley was built in the valley because that was cheap available land that was mostly empty but still accessible to a major coastal port. It only became the crowded modern environment after the corporations were built there and beca

By direct sampling do you mean non-interleaved? The UXR oscilloscope he linked has a set of 256 Gsample/sec digitizers which can do the full DC to 110GHz on all 4 channels.

Honestly, the whole thing reads like a hit piece. There are published standards for exposure levels in foods but the committee intentionally used inapplicable standards such as the much more stringent standard for purified water. Their re

It's only useful it it allows you to reason correctly about stuff in contemporary stores. The argument is that the label does not supply information that is actually relevant to crafting a healthy diet.

Ladder logic already exists and was designed for documenting and programming asynchronous clock-less computers. The problem is that it's like programming C++ in the early 90's where every hardware vendor sells you their own propr

It's definitely a funny one. I hadn't heard of it but it appears to be an Instagram alike for 3D models and VR. If Google was trying to establish themselves as a first mover platform in the VR space, it's odd that they woul

It's really better than that. Cargo lets you specify the version of the package that you are using/used. This is a huge deal for getting something to run later and for reproducibility.

Yes, not that long ago being a Disney Imagineer was like landing a job at FAANG for your resume. A decade of hollowing out their engineering department ended that but it's still a very respectable research house for robotics, logistic

You're right, I flipped the names in my head. I probably shouldn't be posting so late so I'm going to bed after this comment. You can go a long ways with careful design and quality redrivers, but at some point it will be bet

The test equipment is hundreds of thousands of dollars each and everything used for PCIe3 doesn't have the bandwidth to go to PCIe 4. The bigger companies have no problem scaling up but for smaller players it's a serious consider

And money, and power. A retimer is a much simpler device (thus cheaper) and can be tested using linear methods. To test a line with a redriver you really need a full on BERT system + a VNA whereas you can get by with just the VNA for the r

A hundred years ago, Malaria in the United States was bad enough to warrant a dedicated government office (It was folded into the CDC after WW2). This turned into a major eradication program through the use of DDT in the 1940's and by

Real estate is exempted because it is already taxed by value at a higher rate.

Correct, they are proposing that you would be able to defer those taxes up to 10 years until your exit but I don't think it has been very well thought out.

This comes across as callous but it's not wrong. More to the point, the sad state of affairs is that for many children, being in school is the only time they are well fed, have social interaction, or escape an abusive household. There

There is already a large market of jailbroken and aftermarket ECUs as well as alternative firmware for tractors because of this. If it gets popular and stays legal, people will find a way around it.

You're absolutely right and speeds to Google have gotten much faster over time. For what it's worth, I just ran a quick ping test and got 26ms average latency to google.com so I should have checked before I posted. Thanks for ke

I'm taking issue with latency in general and it's dismissal. There are reams of ergonomic targets, data, and guides on user interface latency that are just completely ignored these days. A terminal is close to the simplest possi

If your average connection has 100 ms (50 ms would be extremely good but doable these days) of round trip latency to Google.com, then you have a hard upper limit of 10 loads per second just to connect to the system. Then you have to move t
