davidkuhta··on I used sound waves to make espresso. It could cut coffee‑brewing energy use by ¾
Guessing you like your espresso bitter?

“Saving up to 75% of energy by not heating the water is a minor benefit for home users or small coffee shops. But for companies making ready-to-drink coffee products at industrial scale…”

The instant and dried coffee market is $35B-$50B. Cold Brew another $3B-$4B.

Interesting, cool to hear that it wasn't all bluster. So now I must know... how's that blender?

I almost backed the Coolest Cooler, until I saw the built-in 'ice blender' and realized I didn't want a cooler that required a power supply. Sad to see so many people get taken for a ride :/

davidkuhta··on How many x86 instructions are there? (2016)
> To not leave you hanging: Intel has an official x86 encoder/decoder library called XED. According to Intel’s XED, as of this writing, there are 1503 defined x86 instructions (“iclasses” in XED lingo), from AAA to XTEST (this includes AMD-specific extensions too, by the way). Straightforward, right?

Hopefully this will have either saved you a click or validated your time in reading the article.

davidkuhta··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
I think the root of the problem can be traced back to the researcher's erroneous claim that "This was not human research".
davidkuhta··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
@denvercoder9 had a good comment that might assuage your concern:

> It's not a ban on people, it's a ban on the institution that has demonstrated they can't be trusted to act in good faith. If people affilated with the UMN want to contribute to the Linux kernel, they can still do that on a personal title. They just can't do it as part of UMN research, but given that UMN has demonstrated they don't have safeguards to prevent bad faith research, that seems reasonable.
