Yeah how much is it gonna cost? BMW already make you buy a subscription just to get "connected charging" where you can see and control your charge session from your phone. Bet you anything if you want V2L/V2H you will have to be paying. I was a very loyal BMW customer until about 10 years ago. It's a total clown show today.
Every time they talk about this damn thing it's a different size and works by a different mechanism. Explanations given vary from this magnetic field mumbo jumbo to essentially just being a near perfect dead reckoning integrator.
Anyone have links to any actual papers or journalism on the subject that hasnt been oversimplified to the point where it is just nonsense?
It's annoying that you have to change your mac address every 20 minutes, but yeah. Free wifi (after hoop jumping) has been available for quite a while on many airlines.
That's a nice summary of uninformed, dismissive, and polarized views that folks who don't understand organized labor levy against it.
It's clear the brute force approach works and is sometimes the best way to advance. Once you see the path to getting the job done, take it. I see projects like ITER and ChatGPT4 in this category. Can you learn to do these things more efficiently given a few extra years of R&D? Obviously. But you are also a few years behind, and you have probably spent a lot of effort prematurely optimizing.
With falsified records, anything is possible.
Gas tube signs have a very unique spectral emissions that makes them appear the way they do. Very little effort has been put into LED lighting to properly mimic the appealing spectral emission of incandescent filtered or gas tube colored lighting.
Almost exclusively phosphor coatings have been tuned to cause blue and near UV leds to emit (sort of) broad spectrum white light and nothing more, though it would certainly be possible to develop a phosphor that could more closely approxmiate neon, for instance.
As for direct emission, red green and blue LEDs are mostly now only available at certain wavelengths for tricolor mixing applications. Due to economies of scale, LEDs at other visible wavelengths are extremely underdeveloped technology.
Exactly. If you want to take the principled stand and not to do endorsements, you announce this before the campaigns begin. Otherwise it just looks like you were keeping your options open until 2 weeks before the election, which let's be honest, is exactly what happened.
You are very enthusiastic, but you have forgotten about critical current. The more current you put down a superconductor, the higher the magnetic flux. At a certain level, the magnetism will disrupt the material's ability to form cooper pairs. In most superconducting materials the critical current is quite low, which is why things like MRI magnets and ITER magnets have historically needed to be very very big. Only very recent advancements in state of the art superconductors like REBCO tapes are finally achieving critical currents that touch the lower end of what is needed for grid-scale transmission. My point is this isn't so clear cut; the materials and systems still need lots of additional development to become broadly useful in these applications.
If you have access to be able to call up Trump, you call him and tell him what you want. You call him as much as he will talk to you. You'd be absolutely stupid not to do it. The guy has the memory of a goldfish; if you have talked to him in the last day, you are his whole world. After a week, he doesn't even know who you are.
I cannot imagine a more business destroying move than to be a payment processor that collects money from the customer and stiffs the vendor.
It's not even possible to do this in the current us regulatory environment unless your business is doing some horribly shady shit like comingling customer funds with operating accounts.
Imagine if one day Visa just said, oh we are gonna keep the funds from these 750 million daily transactions to ourselves for 3+ months.
Bingo. Anybody can think of the obvious. If it's a good idea: a product or service people actually WANT, then a thousand, a million people will have also thought of it. By the time you get to me with your stupid napkin, I'll have a list together of all the other people who got to it first.
Back when I was a startup tech consultant, I wouldn't even meet with anyone who didn't have a proper written business plan. I didn't necessarily care to read it, but if you couldn't make the effort to understand your own path forward, you were gonna be a nightmare client. Despite this being an apparently low bar, it worked very well to weed out the people who overvalued their ideas/contributions.
AI is more like statistical mechanics which is
> higher propensity to share low-quality news
For anyone reading along, this is just a euphemism of people with low intelligence. It's not as if propensity to share low quality news is some kind of innate human trait that some people have and some people don't. The issue, depending on your perspective is either: 1) people who cannot tell that it is low quality in the first place or 2) a failure of the media's implicit social contract to report truthfully and without bias.
While true, Meshtastic is more or less lying in its own name. It's not actually a mesh. The "routing protocol" is a shouting match; there is no routing; it's even worse than ALOHA. It's simply not possible to build reliable networks with Meshtastic because of this as multi-hop paths will randomly diverge from one another. In an OSI analogy, it's got layer 4/7 running directly atop unreliable layer 2 domains; there is no layer 3.
LoRAWAN does proper mesh routing but is just a bureaucratic nightmare. It's very tiresome to even try to learn how it works. I gave up and consider it a useless waste of time to even talk about it.
Reticulum.+ LXMF via RNode IMO is where it's at with LoRA. I hope that Meshtastic will eventually adopt this for LoRA transport. If they don't do something the project will fail as users get tired of putting up with poor reliability.
Every successful person has had failures but repeated failure is no guarantee of eventual success.
