I did some of the controls software for an automated IOL manufacturing line roughly 8 or 9 years ago. It's very cool technology, I was proud to work on it. One problem at the time (at least from my understanding) was actually that some

I assume they are referring to the channel timing? Cellular frequencies are segmented into time segments where each channel is allowed to be used by only some devices when it is their "turn" to transmit (this allows multiple phone

Elimination is not the same as separating someone from the hazard. Edit: elimination is (re)moving the hazard and a control is adding a barrier or moving the person Elimination is completely getting rid of the hazard. (In the case of x-ray

Phased array speakers can focus sound in a specific direction. The visuals I don't have a good answer for but the sound part could definitely be done with existing technology

Another big benefit of these older devices is customizability and repairability. I am working to refurbish an MPC1000 right now (drum machine) and the fact that it is repairable at all was a big factor in choosing to sell a newer, nicer dev

Phonics certainly doesn't _feel_ like the best way to teach English, but hopefully we now have enough data to show that it is at least acceptable. A big factor too is "can it be taught at scale". You don't only have to

Totally right. I shoot almost exclusively with a 50mm prime and make heavy use of cropping. I get to carry a very light, small, and FAST lens that works in many different situations without needing a flash. Modern cameras have such high res

Is this actually happening? I have seen this idea thrown out a lot online but it always feels like a conspiracy theory to me (akin to "fine art is a tax write-off")

I have an alarm clock like this and still use it almost daily. The one that I use has an alternate dismissal method for anything fixed to a certain location. (Barcodes, etc.) My sleep has gotten consistent enough over the years that I could

Licensing probably? CAN (or one of its more modern variants) are historically more common in automotive. However with 2-wire Ethernet connections becoming more commonplace I do think you're right that more and more cars will be moving

I think porn prefers open tooling so that it is less likely to be banned. Going inside Apple's walled garden is probably more risky in that regard and also there's only a small consumer base. There are plenty of VR apps in this ca

If you close it normally, restart it, and then do "reopen last closed tab" (cmd/ctrl+shift+t) it will open the entire last window you had open. Press multiple times to open all previous windows.

It really helps to test these kinds of products internally.

I use Zettlr somewhat often. Honestly my favorite features are just: - inline markdown preview - VIM Keybinds (with some issues, as many implementations have) - mermaid and LaTeX math support built in (Notice that 2/3 of these are easi

Yeah and industrial robots are generally pretty easy compared to other parts of automation. They are pretty much turnkey and have a bunch of options for integration. That's not to say that they don't take any skill, but if you&#x2

I don't think they were saying you were unappreciative. They were just adding on that finishing a project is worth celebrating.

That graph is awful. What is it showing aside from "bigger arrow more bad"? Does color mean anything? What variable does arrow size actually represent?

This is why teams need both. Relentless, obsessive people are great for the things that need it. Most stuff is usually fine to just do the lazy way though and move on.

It's gotta be either perceived value or training data/licensing restrictions.

Why does allowing them to store your watch history mean that they MUST also share it with 3rd parties? Why isn't "I want _you_ to know but I don't want you to use it against me." an option?

I have a 12900k and was transcoding video on it yesterday. It stays stable at ~4.5gHz indefinitely when working on all cores.

This kind of thing destroys freelance devs who don't have context. Customer: "Hi we need this small change." Dev: "No problem! Here's a quote for 4 hours" Ignoring that 4 hours is probably less than the effort

Exactly my feelings. I have an IPad Pro M2. Why shouldn't I be able to run software that works on my M2 MBP? I would even accept having to hook up KB/mouse for input. But carrying around a MacBook AND an iPad is a lot of weight.

Title feels misleading since the study specifically calls out "processed" foods and meats. > MFA revealed trends in the data and a strong correlation (Lg = 0.92, RV = 0.65) between the daily consumption of processed food and m

I feel like the Wikipedia article understates the reach of IEEE: - Produces 30 percent of the world’s published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology. - Holds annually more than 300 major conferences. - Has

100% agree. Somerville (city outside of Boston) is 19th on this list of densest cities in the US and I attribute it mostly to 2 and 3-family homes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

Wasn't medical diagnosis also a goal of IBM Watson? I was honestly hoping to see real applications for that system but in the end it seems all we got was a robot that was pretty good at Jeopardy.

Might be regional because I went to cancel and it offered a refund for like $100 or whatever is left on my annual sub.
