I vote for Slop Kiddies or Vibe Kiddies. And yes, I think most of them are unconsciously incompetent for the task they are trying to execute. I've seen LLM being compared to calculators and I agree. They are great time savers for people who know what they do and how to achieve their goal. They even make previously impossible tasks possible. But if you don't know what is needed for a task you will be struggling to accomplish it.

I worked with embedded systems in the 90's and we used pSOS. Today I learned that there are two operating systems named that way that are targeted at different problems. The pSOS we used was heavily targeted to hard realtime performance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSOS_(real-time_operating_syst...

They are not really comparable are they. One is a rail connection over land and the other is a 130ft deep tunnel for rail and road traffic.

I really like this picture that demonstrates this size difference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ramonkok/27081197680

Socat doesn't support STARTTLS. If you want to debug SMTP submission "openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect server:587" is awesome. Just take care not to use upper case "R" or "Q". Man, why did they implement rekeying and quit in such a bothersome way. Just use recipient and quit instead of RECIPIENT and QUIT.

Size, speed, features. You can have a small FPGA for about 2$. You will however be limited in the complexity of the design you can implement because it has limited gates and pins. And limited speed. Like normal processors if you want faster, bigger and more features the cost shoots up. Combine that with the limited market for big FPGA's and they can be very high in price. Mind you that many also have things like a multi core ARM processor on board since many designs need a processor to control the circuit. Same with many interfaces. Would be a shame to use the limited gates in the FPGA for standard things like that.

Philips isn't really dying a slow death. The company has been split into pieces. Some of which are very successful like ASML. Some are doing OK like NXP and Signify. Some are struggling like the leftover Philips that only does healthcare now. Other parts have been sold like the consumer goods and the Philips brand licensed as part of those deals. I'm not sure the outcome would have been better had they not split the company.

To be fair it is 100m vertical. Stand on a 25 story building and look down. That's not a small distance.

Because IANA started delegating prefixes starting with 2. And haven't done enough delegations to go to 3. Prefixes starting with 0 of F are also in use for mapping IPv4 addresses to IPv6, link local and multicast adressing and other special needs.

For transport, yes light is more desirable. For computing, no. The fact that electrons interact with each other is the basis of computational circuits. The article is about how to get photons to do the same.

The reason you can not build a 0% tolerance resistor is the laws of physics. A very high precision resistor can certainly be build but it will never be perfect. Increasing precision has a cost to it. For normal resistors the shape and thickness of the film of resisting material is calculated and the tolerance is mainly dictated by the precision of the manufacturing process. Increasing this precision of the process adds cost. High precision resistors can be trimmed to specification. When you manufacture the resistor with a lower resistance you can use a laser to trim some of the resistive material away. This is an extra step and adds extra cost. While this can be very precise you are limited to what you can measure and there is a limit to that. Also precision is limited by environmental factors like heat, humidity and aging.

To rephrase te question: why would somebody be annoyed with the fractional metric size of A-n sizes ?

Indeed, Almere is a sleeping city. Many inhabitants moved from Amsterdam to Almere since gentrification has made housing in Amsterdam almost unobtainable for people with a median income. Almere is comfortable enough and you can get by without a car. But the fun still is in Amsterdam only a half an hour train ride away. In the US it would be called a suburb of Amsterdam.

Also what drinking water are they comparing to that gives 99% of the chlorine intake ? In dutch drinking water chlorine is not used at all, neither for primary disinfection nor to maintain a residual disinfectant in the distribution network. Still doesn't mean that small chlorine intake is bad for your health. Does seem however they use chlorine rich drinking water to justify the extra intake from chlorinated chickens. https://dwes.copernicus.org/articles/2/1/2009/dwes-2-1-2009....

Being able to sideload is a double edged sword. Yes, it would be a barrier for Apple to go to far overboard on monetizing the ecosystem. It would also give companies like Microsoft a means of ONLY distributing their applications via their own app store forcing you to side load this app store with less oversight. Maybe they add a forced installer to push their apps ? It's not that I trust Apple that much. It's that I trust other companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon less.

A blunt front isn't that bad for aerodynamics as long as it's rounded enough for the air stream not to separate. A lot more can be gained at the back of a truck. Like this: http://learntoflyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4-5.png
