Correcting anything on Google Maps takes years. You report the issue (clearly visible against the aerial photo, for example a road that appears on the map but it's not actually there - and Maps insists routing you through) to the void

You need a lot of batteries to store the energy needed overnight and you have to plan for (lots of) days without sun. At my latitude (45N) the difference in solar production between summer and winter is 5x. Even with batteries, you still ne

It's global data, "here" is not US, and it's solar+wind, not only solar. Summer months have a different definition depending on hemisphere and solar production maximums depend heavily on latitude.

One thing to note: These Xeons have quad memory channels, that usually means double the bandwidth of an equivalent desktop CPU, if you populate all the slots. I have a dual E5-2667 v2 server with 512GB DDR3 and it's quite nice, the mem

Not really. They use aluminum fins because they are way lighter and cheaper. The copper tubes are actually heat pipes that transfer the heat through liquid/vapor phase change. And copper is used because the liquid inside is water (alum

In the energy results they are comparing their novel water block cold plate against an air cooled facility, not against a similar water-cooled facility.

There are "simple" hardware tokens that allow for that - you have to enter the amount and part of the destination IBAN and they generate a 2FA number based on that + probably the same number generator it uses for logins.

ADSB is not mandatory in the US below FL100 or FL180 (10000/18000 feet), that covers most helicopter flights. It depends also on the website you are using to track. I have an ADSB receiver that publishes to multiple tracking websites (

Also, batteries will degrade faster over time when they start to degrade, because they need more frequent charging. Their internal resistance increase and that promotes heat buildup during fast charging/discharging, another thing that

Having a Windows 11 corporate laptop with a domain/Entra login, I actually trust it more than a home Windows 11 with a Microsoft account. Because if I lock myself out, I have a contact (corporate support) that is actually interested in

With mirrorless cameras the focus switched from specialized sensors to on-CMOS contiuous exposure sensors, so movement is easy to detect. At this point the cameras have specialized AI hardware to run the models, and they also accept user in

The usual problems with this approach are 1) the roof is not big enough for solar panels to power multiple chargers and 2) the power is generated when people are not at home (and probably using their car to go to work).

Yeah, it's basically dying and living on old fame. We had to buy a license a few years ago for a customer who needed support for some things that PDFBox did not support, Of course it's not just a license, you have to buy multiple

The problem is that a cable saying that it's something does not mean that it actually conforms to the standard and can deliver that speed/power. And proper testing requires complex hardware.

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the higher numbers of that benchmark result do not translate directly to better performance for all software you run. Deep learning as it is right now is probably the main application th

It will be faster only for code that uses/is optimized for that specific extension. And the examples you give are not really correct. If you add a supercharger you will get more power, but if the car's transmission is not upgraded

The article says "100 times greater than TDK’s current battery in mass production" but they are not referring to the current LiIon/LiPo batteries, but the current _solid state_ battery. The capacity per liter of the new solid

That seems to be a modified bike, with a head tube extension plus lots of random spacers, and lots of accessories. It's probably used as a very comfortable road/gravel bike.

I (as a non-mac user, but impulse buyer of odd camera gear) appreciate the "exclusively for Mac" label put just after the fold. I usually have to read pages (about software) on HN for minutes before finding out (in a footer or &qu

Unfortunately, Romanian bears are brown bears (Ursus arctos), not black (Ursus americanus). They are not easily scared by people and encounters with them can be very dangerous.

They mean database agnostic - that you can easily/magically migrate your application from a DBMS to another and the ORM will handle it for you. That usually works only for trivial databases and does not include data migration.

Yeah, the sleep is a mess with new hardware (and MS also does not help, with the new OS sleep). I have a "creator"-targeted MB from Gigabyte and it does sleep, but if it wakes up immediately after I put it to sleep (because of a m

MS is still "the best" in this case. Searching for Firefox on a fresh Windows install (with Edge) will show Chrome and Opera as first two options (keyword ads), then Firefox. And then, when you download the Firefox installer, you

Isn't the item in the link just an acrylic glass with patterns lasered on? With persistence of vision you can get animations, so I would say that's the fancier one.

Insolation is higher in California, with the same solar panel surface you can probably get double the energy over a year, compared to France.

Hydrogen storage is not something that you really want to do at home, especially in "saving up" quantities. It is quite happy to explode, you need tremendous pressures and low temperatures for efficient storage, and also hard to c
