If you search those names you'll find most have a LinkedIn page proudly displaying their many "IBM Influencer" achievements and qualifications. I realise LinkedIn is a surrealist caricature of corporate reality, but just imag

If anyone wants a lightweight, GUI, non-slopcoded spotify client I find spotify-qt[1] does the job nicely. Alas, it wears only the skin of your system QT theme [1] https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt

Total energy is going to be comparable for aircraft with similar ranges, I don't think a lithium fire is any less unpleasant than a Jet-A fire for for anyone nearby. Even if the batteries could be made entirely inert, the ability to de

In the UK there is the not entirely dissimilar KTP. Officially companies apply and are selected on the merit of application, in practice it's dramatically easier for companies already 'in the system' to re-apply. The engineer

Curiously, I reverse searched a few of the alleged author's images and did get one exact match. On that site they were an Anonymous beauty blogger in a testimonials banner. That site also had a larger version of the same image with ple

You can tell it's going to be a quality site when the article begins with a selection of PHP warnings. One link gave me a 410 which was a surprise, until I realised it returns 410 instead of 404 for every missing page. Please don'

A little conflicted on this one. I firmly believe there is too much distracted driving going on right now. And yet, I find driving a modern car a hugely distracting experience. On the assumption we cant roll back those distractions this is

You can do something similar in 3D with Luneberg lenses, as used on the AN/SPG-59[1]. A truly wild piece of engineering, as is the following SCANFAR system if you're into that sort of thing. I can only assume someone in the top br

Those I've used in the UK aren't so bad, they're cold fill only with a heating element in the sump. It takes maybe 15 minutes to fill and get up to temperature at the start of a shift, after that each cycle is ~2 minutes. The

As others have said, the crap resolution is to mask the crap repeatability. Better processing can help, but good enough processing fits in the cheapest of microcontrollers. ADC quality is more important, signal conditioning and sensor qual

I suspect the more significant difference here is the selection pressures. Take a good look at any part of a bird and you'll see millions of years of selection for reduced weight. The cost of weight is just so much greater when you&#x2

I have as much respect for Claude as any other LLM product. Which is to say, approximately none. But if I needed a spark plug I'd walk over and buy a spark plug. Perhaps some feathers have been ruffled by the insinuation that their fa

I see a lot of advice being given in these comments, and I find it a little alarming that my own preference hasn't got a mention. Just leave them be? I've had plenty of wasp nests in sheds, roof spaces, garages etc and never had
