“Unidirectional breakers” aren’t a thing for AC circuits.

Sure, with expensive line drivers to send the data 1+ meters, instead of 10ish cm. And with only 2 channels instead of up to 16.

What's notable about the initial segment is that it parallels (and thus duplicates) an existing Amtrak service between Bakersfield and Merced. So the initial operating segment gives us zero new destinations by rail. But, hey, you&#x

Some of the aqueducts that deliver some of the water to LA do rely on pumping. But, the Los Angeles Aqueduct , which is the subject of this post, does not. The LA Aqueduct is entirely gravity driven, and under normal circumstances it

Does Apple Silicon support VMs within VMs? What if you run MacOS 27 in a VM, and then run the x86-hosting VM inside that?

With respect, I think you're misremembering the product lineup in the 1994/5/6 era. Back then, Apple had 16 to 32 distinct models[1] of just desktop computer (just the desktops!) with little to distinguish them. In many ca

It’s not really the telescope you’re printing, but some custom fittings to assemble metal rods into a telescope. People have been making telescopes with this method before 3D printing existed. They just used something else for all the littl

There were some benchmarks a few years ago from, IIRC, the people behind either llama.cpp or Ollama (I forget which). The basic rule of thumb is that more parameters is always better, with diminishing returns as you get down to 2-3 bits per

Err... "Most" is doing some heavy lifting here. 51% of parents do use parental controls on their kid's tablets, and 47% on smartphones. And there's no breakdown by age. Kids don't magically become able to handle

I mean, cigarette usage in the US is down massively since the US banned cigarette advertising to kids and actually started enforcing the ban on cigarette sales to kids. Meanwhile, after cigarette companies spent some time thinking about h

This feels like an extremely naive take. Even as late as the mid-aughts the internet was mostly nerdy technical information, real people sincerely discussing various topics, and the very worst thing was a little bit of (mostly still-image)

The dirty little not-so-secret is that we pay doctors too much in the US. To the tune of several times as much as other large developed countries, like Germany, France and England. Medical care in the US will never ever be as cheap as t

I think the mini is just a better value, all things considered: First, a 16GB RPi that is in stock and you can actually buy seems to run about $220. Then you need a case, a power supply (they're sensitive, not any USB brick will do)

So here's how I would think about it intuitively: We can create a balanced partitioning of the 300 turkeys with a 300 bit random number having an equal number of 1's and 0's. Now suppose I randomly pick 300 bit number, still

Rent isn't high because of collusion. It's simple supply and demand. There may be fewer people in manhattan, but that's mostly because fewer people live in each living unit. The same number of living units is being demand

You can also get a passport card. It's meant as a substitute for a passport for re-entry to the US by land or sea, but it counts as a Real ID (tm).

Yes, it does sound like typical German bureaucracy to make events like death outside the jurisdiction impossible unless the deceased has obtained prior approval to kick the bucket. :)

That’s essentially what they’re doing. The innovation is an engineered material having a specified temperature of phase change. So the temperature swing is smaller (almost zero) so heat losses due to non-infinite insulation are reduced.
