I had a raspberry pi 3a+ and the old raspberry pi touchscreen laying around. So I'm writing a custom dashboard for it using Rust/Slint[1]. It directly uses opengl without any display manager/window system. It mostly talks to

They also did this for the original steam controller, which I used a lot. When the back panel broke (its a trigger and battery cover) I was able to 3d print a replacement that has held up great. https://steamcommunity.com/ga

When I read this, I thought that the author would be calculating the derivative of the potential energy with respect to nuclear charge for some reason. Here, the derivative being evaluated appears to be the atomic forces, using jax magic, a

I think that the audio we are listening too is from some ground recording station that isn't necessarily near the airport. We aren't listening to a recording of what the pilots heard or what air traffic control hears.

I can't believe how affordable Hetzner is. I just rented a bare metal 48 core AMD EPYC 9454P with 256 GB of ram and two 2 TB NVME ssds for $200/month (or $0.37 per hour). Its hard to directly compare with AWS, but I think its abou

I play fortnite and marvel rivals with my family. We have lots of fun. I think this genre of game is fantastic if you play with people you know on voice comms. "Solo queuing" in these types of games is not fun for me at all, so I

Just currently exploring how custom AI workflows (e.g. text to sql, custom report generation using private data) can help given the current SOTA. Looking to develop tooling over the next 3-6 months. I'd like to see what we can come up

Do you think that you can use those machines for confidential workflows for enterprise use? I'm currently struggling to balance running inference workloads on expensive AWS instances where I can trust that data remains private vs using

Just in case anyone else reads this and is confused. MRIs only use radio waves. No ionizing (or visible or even IR) radiation is used. The strong magnetic fields are a risk (due to interacting with metallic items embedded in the body). The

I agree that DFT is an approximate solution to the Schrodinger equation, but what would you like to see them do? Quantum monte carlo or configuration integration? These methods do not scale well especially when heavy elements are involved.

I'm in a similar boat. A UK bank thinks I'm one of their customers (someone with a similar name). The reply address is no-reply@ and I'm not about to call a foreign bank.

I use fusion 360 several times a week, but I'm not quite able to follow what you said. Can you provide an example or a link to where they announced this feature?

I would love to know. I currently have an embedded product using buildroot and as it is not exposed to a network at all, I don't have any worries about security. However, I'd love to hear of a nice mechanism to basically upgrade t

Why is the transfer rate non-linear with respect to the system clock? At 100 MHz the rate is 1.38 Mbit/s and at 200 Mhz it is 65.4 Mbit/s.

It is even easier to just say, given a fixed area of paper, and a finite printing resolution, there is a finite number of symbols possible? Say you have a 1 in by 1 in area of paper and a printing resolution of 300 DPI then there are 300*30

Thermostats ensure that the average _kinetic energy_ remains constant (on average or instantaneously depending on how they are implemented). Your parent post wants to enforce the constraint that the total energy remains constant. So its a b

This is easier to think about, if you consider the extremes. A very low power bulb generates no visible light, but still consumes energy. This is super inefficient. At higher temperature the peak shifts to longer wavelengths (i.e. visible).
