Notable to mention the Greenland Thule air base crash which effectively created a dirty bomb around the area after the B-52 crash. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Thule_Air_Base_B-52_cra...

Seems like a lot is being promised here for a 7 month old startup with one employee- SW, multiple different HW components, high end thermal mechanics delivering all of this by EOY 2024. Best of luck, I am legitimately rooting for this to be

Holmes never delivered a product that worked. Musk has delivered 4 Tesla models and counting, as well as VTOL rockets among many other accomplishments. Sure, he over-promises and under-delivers (or at least misses his timelines), but I woul

Even if true, this will largely not affect a business like this. They make small money on each company and scale through the shear number of total companies that pay a few thousand dollars a month to use this service. People are not going t

It would be very poetic if it turns out that one of these students actually had their test scores flipped by their parents without their knowledge.

Real commercial espresso machines are still a very manual process for many reasons. This is something you’d see in the micro kitchen of an office or an airport lounge, not a Starbucks.

how long until we start seeing computer vision applications that translate sign language? It's a pretty hard problem, but definitely something that's feasible with the right methods.

Companies would also be incentivized to not have too many extra cars on the road at all as they would be paying for it in terms of their running costs.

Sounds like you are starting to become an emotional investor in them, which is the worst type of investor.

Why are you a dropbox shareholder if you think that the company faces "almost certain failure"?

That’s a temporary change until the tunnel opens. I’ve noticed that Denny has been much better for buses since they have made a few changes for bus priority.

Sure, but a very bad nuclear incident (accidental or not) could more or less kill millions of people pretty quickly. Obviously hydrocarbons will kill more than that, but the optics of a nuclear catastrophe are in my opinion far worse than g

Nuclear has such a terrible reputation, and rightfully,people will always have legitimate complaints about it. We can never fully guarantee that a plant is free from the potential of catastrophe, not to mention we still don’t have a great s

Seattle has been doing this recently. I'm not sure if they have released any studies yet, but my observation has been a noticeable improvement.

Completely agree. Quote from the article also kind of shows the founder isn't really correlated numbers properly. "Reading that more than 80% of goods are transported by sea, a light bulb went off, says Vollmer. 'We can have

How common is it for City Council members to travel to cities across the US? As a Seattleite I find it a massive waste of taxpayer money to go fund Lisa Herbold's NY homecoming (she is from NY).

From the description, it sounds like a giant Peltier device, not a steam turbine (otherwise why would they care about having a cold tank?). Solar farms also have a ton of space in between turbines so I’m not sure that metric is relevant. Ad

Think of it like this: You produce energy at an amortized cost of $X /MW. You store energy efficiently (lithium batteries) at an amortized cost of $Y /MW back into the grid. You store energy inefficiently (Malta?) at an amortized

Respectfully, it is absolutely an obstacle. Not every manufacturer wants to play ball and in some cases it requires much more investment than playing around with the compiler settings. I would also argue that a large fraction of research te

I would argue that it should scare you. This is targeted towards people who are working in the AI world and are likely not embedded experts. Also, the bigger problem is closed source libraries and drivers that choose not to support arm64.

The development kit has been available for the last month. One of the problems no one talks about is that this platform (along with tx2/tx1) runs arm64 which makes it a HUGE pain for getting many libraries to work. I’ve been using thes

They are still claiming it is SIPC insured- which is false, regardless of what you call it.
