Great paper!. Anyonw know whether there are any modern tools/software that can simulate this during design?

bipedal murderbots... not yet... I think advanced exoskeletons will be there first. They are already testing basic ones in the field: https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-exoskeleton-test-bat...

Hydrophonic farming at home. You can play with sensors (acidity, humidity etc), LED lighting (frequencies, intensity, etc), vision processing (maybe throw in some AI buzzword here) to keep track of your plants and do some decision making. B

Trump ensured that there is absolutely no reason for any nation , not just Iran, to believe what USA says in the future. No agreements/treaties with the USA can be trusted. And not just with Trump administration, since he demonstrated

Terrible time management from Ding Liren in the most critical game of the match, leading to a very simple blunder. Painful to witness.

Seems like Germany is having this problem for the past 20 years... but here we are. Maybe accept the fact that they are a manufacturing powerhouse and will remain so in the foreseeable future?

Isn't this a strange way to put Toyota to be "closer" to Tesla by "enterprise value"? I mean, if toyota had 1T USD debt, it's enterprise value would have been 1.25T, and it would have been more "valuable

Sanctions by countries who developed a certain technology, appear to always result in the country which was sanctioned to develop that technology in some timeframe, depending on the complexity. Was there any case of a "successful"

My question isn't why BT is so unreliable, rather, despite all its problems, why is it still so ubiquitous?

The general consensus seems to be that low income and low skill workers will be affected real soon. I don't know where we currently are in the hockey stick curve in ML/AI development, but if it keeps developing at this pace it wil

It is interesting to note that just 5 companies dominated the order book: (1223 total) * 500 to Indigo (India) * 250 to Air India. * 220 to Turkish Airlines * 153 to EasyJet * 100 to Avolon.

I've read all the comments and looks like no one has mentioned this, but as someone who worked a total of ~25 years, on both continents (10+15 years), I have the following observation, and it really is a simple one: American hardware&#

What's fascinating about airplane design for me is not the huge technical complexity, but rather, the way it is designed such that a lot of its subsystems are serviceable by technicians so quickly and reliably, not just in a fully cont

That's an incredible level of integration; having so many ADC's and DAC's with 20Gbps sampling rate all in a single package.

The article says "The new CarePod modules are being deployed in malls, gyms, and offices starting in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.", and yet the only video posted by the company is a 3D animation?

It just had to be non-symmetrical on the Z-axis, that's all. Like an HDMI connector.

Given sufficient road width, takeoff/landing length, and road "quality" (smoothness, etc), why wouldn't an aircraft be able to takeoff from and land on to a highway? I mean, what is the actual significance of this?

I wish this text file had a last-updated-date in it. Just recently we had a OUI chip which was being used in one of our boards, which was throwing off our post-production automated tests. Turns out the vendor added a new OUI, but didn'

Anyone know why the TCAS only instructs the two approaching aircraft to change altitude only, but not heading?

Just as a reminder, in 2021 there were close to 250 million estimated malaria cases worldwide, with an estimated ~600.000 deaths according to WHO, so it is very much a concern for the world even though it was eradicated in the USA

My goodness. The effort that has been put into this site!! I can't tell whether the entire site is satire though. For example: http://www.techzonics.com/ebay-ebola-sordid-history.htm

At this point, it feels like chipmakers are just eager to find yet another excuse to slow down production. This plant closure appears to have been in the works for several years so it is unfathomable that the chipmakers are not prepared for

It is bizarre to expect an embedded software engineer, who is coding from a specifications document, to know enough about aircraft control, control dynamics, pilot training, aerodynamics, etc to somehow figure out MCAS was a somewhat poorly

Are you located in the USA? What you say is somewhat surprising to me. I would imagine the total flow of components would be similar, but would be concentrated to certain destinations/buyers. If cross-border trade of chips are actually

The entire electronics supply chain is currently a shit show and this post explained it perfectly. Other anecdotes from our experiences: - Chipmaker/Distributor quotes 36 weeks for the parts, we arrange all shipments of all components
