1999 was first gen, Slot A based. Second generation (Thunderbird) Socket A based Athlons (and Durons) described here were released 2000.

New composite ones like A350 and Dreamliner have cabin altitude of ~1800m

NFC is not really a radio. Basically it uses a loosely copled transformer. Works much closer than 1 wavelength and only magnetic field matters.

`agrivoltaics’ seems to be common.

PV panels will be protected the same way as buildings. Not much difference there. If you can build a house, you can build a PV-farm.

That sounds like a fantastic opportunity for a fresh company to take over the market. Heat as a service.

It costs about 2kUSD to get air to air exchange heatpump installed here (minisplit, includes the cost of the pump, EU). Takes approx 3 hours.

It is using mDNS/Bonjour for the same benefit.

Still using SVN here along with git. Not for coding, but storing CAD/EDA data. Large file support is the key here. Git LFS unfortunately is not very good and as soon as your repos grow into tens of gigabytes, git is not very fast anymore.

> How long did we use RCS and CVS and Subversion before modern alternatives like Bitkeeper, Mercurial, Git, et al. entered the scene?

For Subversion, about a year.

Apple came from recreational “there is now a 10 times cheaper CPU than anything else and I can afford to build my video terminal into real computer in my bedroom” and “maybe we can actually sell it?”. [1]

ARM literally came from “we need a much better and faster processor” and “how hard can this be?” [2]

There is also a tractor company called FERRARI, but they have nothing to do with Enzo Ferrari as far as I know.

To confuse matters more, in this part of EU the coffee cake is made with coffee and tea cake is made without tea.

Cabin crew are also eyes for the flight crew. Relevant discussion about the Shatner’s seat: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13824985

I (as someone who designs electric and electronic equipment every day) agree. Low Voltage is a very specific term and typically means <1kV AC and <1.5kV DC in the industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_voltage

I was visiting local flight school and checked their FNTP II MCC simulators few years ago. Instructor told me they will not let any students do training on simulators before they have real flight hours.

My main complain this season is that driver seat warming/steering wheel warming can not be controlled from a physical button or via API/app (today it was -15°C here). In cold weather, the rapid charging speed could be better, I heard that this has improved on newer models that also have larger battery. Real range is around 300km when it is below freezing and 480km during summer. https://www.ioniqforum.com/ Is good place to get feedback from other users.

As this is HN, then I also have to mention that Hyundai API (bluelink) has limits on how many queries you can do in a 24h rolling window. 20 or 50 queries, depending on the type…

Single data point, but early 2022 I got IONIQ5 instead of Model Y due to Musk's public comments. 70'000km later am still happy about it.

The limits are there. -500€/MWh and 4000€/MWh. It did hit the lower limit for 10 hours in the row from 14:00 till midnight. Before 14:00 they were not the last bidder, so prices are higher there. Price on the market for everyone is set by the last bidder who fits in the predicted consumption pool.

Have 2 minute sessions (2/4/6 minutes total) as a warmup routine with 10k English words to get my fingers moving in the morning.

Two microphones are clearly seen on the picture in the article.

Infrared is a wide range. Ambient temperature black body radiation (LWIR) is typically detected between 7..14um. Refractive optics that works from there to visible range (380..700nm) is to my knowledge still unsolved problem.

Thank you for that! Indeed the world has moved on since last time I worked with SPADs (2011). Canon progress you linked seems to be outlined well in several articles published by Kazuhiro Morimoto. Most importantly 3D-stacking the pixel readout with back side illumiation and getting rid of discrete "multiplication wells" which undergo avalanche independently.

Most likely not. SPADs are good for detecting single photons (I have designed electronics for this), but to quench the pixel after every detection you need significant dead-time for the pixel. Single pixel needs to be an array here, size of which defines the dynamic range of the pixel. Each element within the pixel can not be much smaller than the wavelength to be detected. That means you need significant array of arrays to do any meaningful imaging — sensor will be very large.
