One interesting example of this is the UTR system for tennis. It is agnostic in gender as wells as age, and tournaments can be held purely based on the UTR range

100% this. I have had the MDR-7506 since my DJ days about 30 years ago. These are by no means expensive headphones, but compared even to much more higher-end Bluetooth headphones they can easily hold their own. They have good depth and are

Yup. Also elementary school was often fewer grades than it is today. It was the norm to finish your education after elementary school to help the farm/household. Individuals, especially from the country side, were an exception to finis

Agreed, but I don't think you need to go as far back as the 19th century, even early 20th century it was the same in some places in eastern Europe. Out of 7 siblings in my Dad's family only one went to college. The spread between

Personally I don't mind running it and have been doing so for several years. Their app and camera/firmware have gotten a lot more stable since the early days. You can buy the camera out right and don't need to pay the monthly

I can relate. Same for my parents. Washer and dryer still going strong after 30 years, same for the fridge which has been relegated to the basement since the paint has begun to chip. Microwave still works. And out of the three AC units they

This is already happening. The leading edge node wafers cost a fortune compared to older nodes. TSMC has limited capacity, as it takes years to bring new fabs online, and with competitors struggling they have great pricing power. Maybe why

Having lived there for several years I remember these to be quite loud. Maybe because the way they hang allows them to sway left to right a bit, and causes the metal wheels to make contact with the track at various angles. Quiet they were n

Many of your comments are on point. But I'm a little curious about your negative view of CF. Care to explain why you think they take energy out of the system?

Agreed, a very shallow article with a few personal opinions. A little breather for Austin proper may be a good thing, housing prices and rents have come down significantly from a few years ago. The infrastructure is presently a mess and wil

This is 100 percent the truth. Watching tennis in the US has become increasingly frustrating. I almost long for the old days where one could count on one of two channels to always have coverage. I wish Amazon, Netflix, YouTube or similar wo

Indeed, my kids who are 5 and 8 enjoy it about just as much as Mario Kart 8 - especially the earlier levels which require less of the balloon jumping.

To get high yields and a reliable process at these process nodes you need high throughout in the fabs, even with sophisticated models and simulations is my guess. At one point in time Intel had high throughput compared to the world via inte

Good question. Seems to suffer from same fate. Spot checking 2 years of order history across 2 common personal care products shows at least a 30% variation in price

The following in the article is pretty spot on ”Numerous industry sources say TSMC’s real strength is the ability to deliver process development kits for just about any process or package." There are countless flows and tools that need

It is going to get even a bit more interesting when you consider power gaters and virtual power supplies. Now the real power will be on the back side and the virtual power will be on the front side. Fun time for power analysis.

Some of this is modeled over expected life-time / usage. In general, things such as electro migration, self-heating, bit-cell degradation, etc. are modeled either for 3y, 5y or 10y, depending on CPU, skew, and target market. Now, wheth

Thanks, I will give them a shot. My experience post pandemic with car rental companies, and Hertz in particular has been abysmal. Any sort of rental status with car rental companies ranks below VIP status with a rundown motel in the middle

Is there a reason small roundabouts are not more popular in the US in residential areas? You probably have noticed them driving through Spain and France as well. Especially in the south of both countries they seem to come very often in smal

Had it a couple times. I usually try to let the stones pass naturally, unless of course they get stuck. Success rate for the targeted stone has been 100%. Recovery has been quick with minimal bruising, first day getting up was a bit painful

Guilty as charged, many times over. Sometimes, to the point where I could not even recall the old workflow post login.

In the same boat, and agree that the first one was the worst because of the unknowns and associated pain. That does not mean the later ones were less painful, but knowing what to expect, recognizing the symptoms early, and getting mentally

+1 on this. For a while Dell had a nice sweet spot. It was cheaper than the aforementioned brands, roughly equal price wise to the likes of Gateway but much more configurable and better customer service, and only a bit more expensive than u

Thanks, very useful, I was not aware of this. There really should be a warning before this happens. I really need test my incremental backups now.

Can you elaborate on this? These are not preemptible, why would they disappear without warning? I've been running on these for 2 or 3 years without any issues thus far.

Also surprisingly capable at generating sample timing libs for arbitrary circuit topologies and calculating min and max delays after a little bit of guidance.
