Most of the time but some remote locations it is not nor does it require rail volume.

Rail is less efficient than water transport most of the time but it does not always apply to the local situation.
That's probably another factor, and these two aren't the only ones.

Basically they used AI to generate antibodies that didn’t work.

Right, there are sprinklers for the watering, then another grade. (Iridium grade is the top, auto waters larger grids). I personally associate grind with 'required boring busy work'.. If that's what you like, you can do that, if you want to automate it, you can do that, its like factorio in a sense, without the pollution factor. :)

If you had a sensor who’s analog signal you wanted to modify in real-time, for example you did an engine swap and the new engine’s sensors weren’t compatible with the original ECU. Say they used a different voltage range or hertz rate. Would an fpga be overkill for this application? What would be the correct topic to google?
I would think you’d generally need to have something interesting in mind that you think might be true before bothering to prove it. Certainly you’ll need it to be interesting if you want anyone else to notice. It’s trivial to generate an endless tree of true statements by just tree searching with whatever valid operators your proof system has.
The calculation of a fix from GNSS is actually rather complex and the potential complexity is almost unlimited. The most accurate GNSS fixes are obtained from offline solvers that analyze long-duration (e.g. 24 hour) recordings of the GNSS data streams and use computer models to determine the most likely solution accounting for many types of error. This is all to say that there isn't really one approach to calculating a fix from GNSS, and receivers embedded in devices like phones use pretty simplified methods so that they can run in real-time and with a short time to first fix.

Most GNSS are largely similar, though, and there are certainly enough papers describing how to perform fixing across satellites of independent constellations so I'm sure it's been implemented in at least higher-end devices. Still, I suspect inexpensive consumer receivers are probably calculating a fix per constellation and then combining those. Fixing across constellations requires combining ephemera, time base, etc. data that varies between them, but all of these are known with high precision, you just have to pull them together.

Since most GNSS are mostly the same, new GNSS constellations are usually launched either to improve coverage in a region, or these days with several global constellations, more often for sovereignty reasons. If you have weapons systems that rely on GNSS, it's better to have your own constellation. GPS for example no longer has a wartime selective availability capability (that would deny use by anyone other than US forces) but it did in the past and, if WW3 broke out, it would probably be implemented again. For much this reason different GNSS constellations tend to operate in different bands (not always, though) so that a country can selectively jam adversarial GNSS systems without affecting their own. GNSS has its origins in the military and is still largely a military capability today, with Galileo being the odd one out that focuses more on commercial applications (Galileo's selective availability capability is used to charge a subscription for higher-precision uses).

And some GNSS do have "accessory" capabilities, probably the most prominent being Galileo's two-way search and rescue messaging capability that will compliment COSPAS-SARSAT. But that's always been the way with satellites. For example, the GPS constellation carries detonation sensing equipment for nuclear counter-proliferation. It just saves money to combine payloads.

One of the reasons to not put GNSS constellations in separate bands is that it simplifies the construction of multi-constellation receivers. Of course, it also makes it more difficult to selectively jam. Some combination of these interests mean that GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo are very close siblings in the radio spectrum. It gets surprisingly political.
I think it is probably possible, but probably not before 2030; it will take much longer than that.

Because it's drastically more exciting and interesting to a young audience, whose attention he's trying to acquire to get various points across. You won't get and keep their attention easily.

Inspiration matters. Attention matters.

Teenagers are not inspired by: you could start a little business that de facto operates as a medium paying job (but is far more stressful and risky to your future, your potential family, and your long-term finances), and it'll be miserably difficult, and you really shouldn't even try it because the likely rewards are so tiny that you should just go work for Microsoft instead for the fat (and easier) paycheck. Even if you try to sell that with a passion premise (the reward is in the love of the craft), the sell is so ugly you shouldn't even waste the young audience's time (they'll just come away depressed at best).

Why do people ever aspire to anything that's exceptionally difficult?

From my OSHA30 training (IBEW, about a decade ago) I still remember and often quote that ladders are primary contributing factor to accidents that lead to tradesmen disability.

In my more-youthful idiot phase, I recall using a 4" holesaw to drill two holes into the roof awning, while standing atop a fifty foot extension ladder (planted into soil, only). After completing the first, I realized how dangerous this task was... and then still convinced myself to drill the second hole.

It seems the general contractor [bossman] hadn't wanted to wait for an already-to-be-delivered bucket lift, which the CCTV guys ended up requiring anyways ("no way in hell we'd do that on a ladder," they said to me). This woke me up that I needed to find better bosses/employment.

If it's a digital sensor and you're modifying a digital bus then yes*. If it's an analog (voltage based) sensor then no, but if you know the input and output ranges you can probably build a gain stage out of much cheaper and simper components.

*"Real time" is complex though, the best you can probably do is slightly longer than the time it takes to receive plus transmit the packet, best case slightly longer than the longer of the two processes.
It sounds interesting…

But it’s one thing to try and win an existential war by any means necessary including downgrading safety, but I think it’s another thing when you intend to use this for civilian freight transportation.

What’s the contingency for a snapped tow rope? Or electro/hydromechanical failure on either aircraft during take off or landing? One plane involved is plenty to handle; how do you handle two?

Light glider planes with one passenger or two is one thing, but an unpiloted freight aircraft, I’d think has greater risk. I get they might have remote operators for the glider, but some situations need proximate feedback.

I don’t know if Loeb is right or wrong about any of this (and I would find it much more exciting if he was right) but the “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” saying really applies to Loeb on this one. To track an interstellar asteroid to a precise location on the ocean floor and recover pieces of it requires an extraordinarily precise chain of evidence, and if even a fraction of this article is accurate, that doesn’t feel justified here.

Another tip: the quality difference between a Lego brand piece and its doppleganger from an AliExpress shop exists, but is usually negligible.

I never saw a piece that doesn't fit, and the difference was mostly color and durability, where the no-brand technic bricks would fail earlier than the Lego ones when (ab)used for mechanically straining purposes, like a coat hangers, cup holder etc.

The more interesting part: this opens up access to more original and specialized parts that Lego doesn't want or cares about, like a go pro mount for instance.

How much air freight really needs to be transferred by air, though?

Air freight makes sense when you need to get something across an ocean in less than a month, or across the continent in less than a day. If the US were to invest in running the railroads efficiently, getting a package from NYC to LA in less than 72 hours should be possible - that's fast enough for regular Amazon shipping. If you electrify the railroads you could avoid an awful lot of CO2 emissions.

There are currently already container trains running from China to Europe (or at least there used to, before Russia started a war). It's a viable midpoint between ocean freight and air freight.

I can accept that he invented it in the same sense that I invented recursion. I called it the "ouroboros" function and was really quite pleased with myself for thinking of the pattern.

Now, the fact that I called it by an ancient reference should probably have been the first clue that I didn't get there first, and sure enough later I found out that actually no, it's a very old idea in computer programming.

For the record, I can place back reliably to about 2001 the first time I was introduced to someone showing me an actual free application of searching/displaying ip lookups and laying it out on a visual map because it was about the only thing of value I took away from my first year information systems course, and although I can't remember the name of the application or program used, i've never heard of the blog writers company or his competitor: free software that did it must have already been available and mature for doing it and was being passed around during that time because it was already freely available by the time lowly old me turned up.

And given that the theory of doing so probably worked out long before that I think "invented" might be a liiiiiiiitle bit of a stretch...

It's a great example, made terrible (for teaching) because the punchline is never explained.

Your excerpt left out key information, which is the secondary hypothesis that
am+bn=1

Hint: what are a and b? I won't wait for you to find values that satisfy the hypotheses.

It's the same flavor as: assume a=b+1, and b=a+1. Then a-b=b-a
You can prove that p=>q, sometimes, even if p is false. (Especially if p is false!)

A later chapter provides the punchline.

To clarify, yes whois registries have existed since the start of the Internet. However the location provided by those registries does not equate to the users' location. For example, back in the day, IBM (IIRC) ran a worldwide network of dial-ins and all of their IPs were registered back to their headquarters in Schenectady, NY. So yes, we figured out how to monetize it and maybe in the extreme "invented" is a stretch - maybe I should have said "invented a way for it to be accurate to a city level". In case you're wondering, 94% accurate to a city level, worldwide when I was there.

Our date picker already supports similar queries: 60m, 1d, 2w, 12mon. You can even combine them, like `2w+3d`.

Hmm, if we ever built the Alaska-Siberia overland railway connection (bridges + tunnels) it would become a possibility to make efficient from what is now an impossibility.

It’s doable. Tunnels and bridges necessary would not be beyond what we have built elsewhere with current technology.

Maybe it wasn't clear, but I left my operating role at the company in 2005 and we exited the company (it was acquired) in 2007. I don't think I ever said anyone stole my idea - because they never did. Others were in the same space (Maxmind included) but came up way after us - and we never pursued anyone in court for patent infringement. Why? Because we always wanted to win in the marketplace and not in the courtroom.

Also, you probably don't know what data goes into Maxmind but that's okay. It doesn't matter to me since I exited a long time ago and have no dog in the fight anymore. But just because you don't know Digital Envoy doesn't mean you aren't using (and paying for) their data. ;-)

It's like solving a maze or exploring a dungeon. Exploring from the start might find something interesting, but having an interesting goal in mind can suggest a possible path and is a guarantee that the proof is rewarding. Whereas untargeted exploration can end up somewhere more surprising and fun, but also less likely to generate anything interesting.
I love the first book; have read it ~5 times. I never picked up on this "heroes are disasters" theme until last week, when a review of the movie said the same thing. Still love the book, not sure if it was that effective at getting that message across. Maybe my opinion will change when I re-read it again with knowledge of that underlying motivation.
Based on the 4x 66kW (albeit an A+B design) power shelves in these, this # of systems is basically an entire datacenter for AWS assuming they stuck to ~35MW buildings as they’ve done historically. It will likely be a little larger even than a normal building…

It’s only 288 racks of GPUs, based on 72/rack as NVIDIA disclosed elsewhere. Then whatever ancillary network is required. Pretty wild to use that much power over that few racks.

Seems like critical load when at 100% for the GPU racks is supposed to be 34.5MW and assuming 10% for 800GE networking to plumb it all together and a 1.2 PUE gets you to 45MW overall?

GLP-1s definitely cross the blood-brain barrier - work by affecting the GABAergic CNS and making you not hungry so you stop eating and lose weight. They don't independently do anything to make you slimmer. Basically what you're suggesting is people lose weight, which, I agree.
