Amazon needs to stop with inventory comingling. They know it and refuse to stop, so they are culpable. I'm sure it would hurt their logistics to stop, but it also hurts cigarette companies to not advertise to children and we made tha

I can't help you with the why some SD cards are short lived, but if you want a longer lasting SD card, try the "endurance" versions. Most of the big brands have a version. They are a bit more expensive, but promise 25x th

1. Your previous comment only mentioned PlaidML. 2. The parent comment was about translating existing code written in CUDA to be used on an AMD GPU, not about developing new software- if it were about developing new software, they'd

PlaidML is not what most people want. PlaidML is pretty much only for neural network based machine learning, plus it's primarily a backend for models written in Keras. But it is an option for the narrow use case of neural networks. C

In this case Iran denies that it lost a drone so it couldn't be an act of war. You have to admit to getting shot before retaliating. Also, we have seen multiple manned aircraft shot down during the Syrian civil war from multiple count

Yes. For those not familiar, KyoAni is not a "huge" studio, in that it usually only produces one show per season, and often none at all. They are highly respected due to the shows that they do make are very high quality (the ani

It might be misleading, but it's not uncommon. Apple MacBook Pros have thermal throttled at high loads for the past several years. It has throttled for so long that reviewers were surprised that the latest version seems to be using a

It's not false. You can't send an action potential down a motor neuron connected to a muscle without a reaction from the muscle. Do not confuse the neurons in your brain (which generate new connections all the time) with motor n

You missed the point. You don't need to live a long life to be happy. That's you trying to impose your worldview on other people. A lot of people confuse things that are correlated with being happy with things that make you happ

A lot of these things are assuming a traditional model of well-being (that being fit and smart and long lived makes you happier). This is stuff that doctors say I need , but I don't actually need them like air and water. What if o

The CTRL-kit, which is the "real" product they have, uses electromyography, which needs muscle activation to work, so something must twitch at a minimum to send a signal. A good interface may enable controlling multiple things at

A key aspect for me will be whether Neuralink can enable brain control interfaces that don't require sending signals to muscles. A key example that falls short is CRTL-labs' armband. I've seen a few demos that allow you to &

I haven't tried it, but I would make a somewhat educated guess to say, no. Not that it can't be done, but that it probably isn't as easy to get the reaction going as regular thermite. Thermite made from aluminum and iron c

The way you say it kind of understates the difficulty. It is straightforward to image a large enough satellite if you know where it is going to be. I have even snapped a picture of the ISS with a hobby telescope and a cell phone mount. I

What I find most amazing about this isn't the image (although it's pretty cool), it's the fact that a bunch of amateur astronomers[1] can locate a satellite in space with no help- even after the satellite makes an unannounced

You can use it at stock speeds with passive cooling, but you can also use it at below stock speeds (just change the numbers in the tutorial). The main benefit not being cooling, but lower power consumption. Lowering speeds is fine, but un

I think he’s exaggerating the effect of some of these claims. People who “grew up” learning R+Tidyverse will discriminate against non-Tidyverse users? Give me a break. You are either an advanced or competent or novice R user. You either

In your original comment you never mention bank bailouts. A far more appropriate comparison would be the more recent bailouts of US automakers in which the TARP loans were all repaid. Granted, the partial ownership of the companies that
