The response to the Silvergate section was in two parts: one response for solvency, and one response for BSA. The core of the latter is pretty short, essentially "Silvergate was incompetent and the original article is correct as writte

My parent comment is especially jarring because Feynman's findings agree with, and propose a mechanism for, the findings of the study. The comment seems to imply that there's some great tension between "arithmetic skills do n

This comment assumes that the leakage current is all of the power draw, and not just the majority of it. I find it unthinkable that leakage current is 99.99% of the power draw of SRAM. 95% sounds believable, but then you're talking abo

TFA goes into the author's opinion around when to floor and when to round, and notes that "hours" is the largest interval where rounding feels right.

The author meant "average error" in the systematic error sense, not the standard error sense. The minute display would be well calibrated, not precise to less than a minute.

This makes me wonder how train countdown clocks are programmed, and if "1 minute away" means "60-120 seconds away" or "30-90 seconds away".

NFL delay-of-game penalties are interesting for this, because when the clock first shows 0 seconds, that means that the team still has a full second to start the play.

If you care about starting a meeting to within better precision than a minute, use a clock that shows seconds. If I want to start a meeting at noon, I don't block off the minute display of my clock and wait for the 11 -> 12 transiti

The point is that we use 12:00 to note a time between 12:00:00.0 (inclusive) and 12:01:00.0 (exclusive). Saying that 12:00 is a time between 11:59 and 12:01 implies that the range of error is twice as big as it actually is. How long between

This particular Li2O battery is a little under 700 Wh/kg, with the theoretical maximum being 11k Wh/kg, compared to gasoline's 13k Wh/kg. It's an incredible accomplishment that they have managed to get such a reacti

The coolest hack in here is definitely the way that the 4G base station can be (mostly uniquely) identified after the RF signal for a packet is run through an envelope detector through a low-pass filter, as opposed to the normal (and higher

Do you currently have tracker tags on those things? If not, why not? Multi-year lifetimes are already available with Tile (3 years), AirTag (>1 year), and Samsung's SmartTag 2 (700 days), using BLE detection instead of 4G detection.

The point is that reality is more complicated than short statements (which often embed political assumptions) can express, and understanding the reality of the situation is useful, especially to people who want to change the system.

Did you know that almost every city believes this about their local drivers? I've gotten it in LA, Boston, NYC, DC, SF, Philly, Atlanta, and Austin. Adding Miami to the list.

SF in 2015 (with passengers 2021), Phoenix in 2022, Miami in 2025. Northern urban centers are probably a decade out, let alone areas outside urban centers. There are a lot of cities in the Sun Belt to expand to first.

Because the local power economics favors some solar everywhere, due to congested transmission. Compare to Antelope Valley in SoCal, where one ranch is 230 MW, and to total CA solar, which has almost 50,000 MW and is projected to grow 50% ov
