I think the relevant issue is you could conceivably have a house with two outlets with opposite phases. Bussing them together in the PSU will then create a short

You're so soft

>When the electromagnetic wave hits a substance, it splits into separate electric and magnetic waves

Not in any sense I'm familiar with

You're right, I didn't read thoroughly enough.

>Everything joined up via a 2-pin and 5-pin connector on the PCB. From there, it was a straightforward matter of measuring voltages and continuity to work out what connected to what: the 2-pin connector was offering 24V DC. The 5-pin connector was what went off to the motor itself. Two of its pins were passing through the 24V DC and ground directly. Two more pins were connected to the potentiometer. The fifth pin was not connected.

I don't like the notion of doing speed control by putting a digipot in series with a motor. It worked because the fan happened to be low enough power but it doesn't seem like the author gave thought to the power handling capability of the digipot. If the fan happened to be beefier he's letting the smoke out with this design.

Plus, this is more complicated than just doing PWM.

I don't get what the point of the article is. Is the takeaway that I should lower the channel width in my home? How many WAPs would I need to be running for that to matter? I'd argue it's more important to get everyone to turn down TX power in cases where your neighbors in an apartment building are conflicting. And that's never going to happen, so just conform to the legal limit and your SNR should be fine. Anything that needs to be high performance shouldn't be on wifi anyway.

Try qalculate. It's great with units and I think will work for base conversions, though I haven't tried that

>Unlike nature, which utilizes passive structures to shape sound, most artificial sound control systems require active devices or resonance-based systems.

What's wrong with resonance-based systems? I have to wonder if their side lobes and frequency range would be better if they used resonance

We're already at NISQ

Of course Ukraine conscripts, they're in a war for their survival. They aren't drafting anyone under 25, by the way, so it's not as dire as you seem to think. And Russia's beating people and throwing them in pits if they won't sign contracts to go to Ukraine, so it's not all roses over there.

It's not at all unreasonable to think that Ukraine can continue ceding ground and shredding Ladas full of mobiks until Putin kicks the bucket, or the Russian economy collapses. A healthy economy doesn't have a 20% key interest rate for 8 months straight, you know. We've already seen one large-scale mutiny in the Russian armed forces, too, so who knows what else might happen?

You haven't proposed any sort of alternative to continuing to arm and fund Ukraine. What's your idea, cut them off and say "good luck?" How does that benefit anyone besides Russia and the minority of Ukrainians who don't want to fight?

edit: if you're thinking that I care about the financial cost of arming Ukraine, I don't. This is the best money we've ever spent and the only time I've respected our MIC, and I wish we were sending more weapons and more financial support. Every time Ukraine spends $100,000 of aid destroying a piece of Russian armor, that's saving us god knows how much in money spent on deterrence.

Why, because Russia can grind out a village a week? Ukraine is inflicting disproportionate losses and is supplied to the hilt by Europe, while Russia's moving closer every day to a Potemkin economy.

You shouldn't need to prevent gaps entirely. You only need to make sure there are no holes larger than roughly the wavelength of the radiation you're trying to block. Which, for 2.4GHz wifi, is about 125mm. I think what you saw is that a single layer of foil isn't enough skin depths thick to block radiation sufficiently at that frequency.

It takes well-calibrated electronics detonating conventional explosives with precise timing to set off a nuclear warhead. The warhead maybe would fizzle but wouldn't detonate because you intercepted. And anyway, it's much better to have it detonate anywhere besides where it was targetted

What school system? Sounds like a great setup

Well, yeah, it's a thought experiment. But if we had some sort of ideal box then yes, the cat would actually in a superposition

Sold my stock the other day. Solid gains and I have no qualms about owning defense stocks, but their behavior here is over the line

Not so. See the battle of Kircholm from 1605 as a particularly successful example. Anyway, the discussion is about whether new technology (naval drones) could make old weapons (warships) and tactics obsolete. I thought you were saying that cavalry charges never happened and so never became obsolete. I'm glad that's not the case. But you yourself are saying that technology rendered cavalry charges obsolete. There are countless other examples; no one could argue in good faith that the once-dominant bronze chariot still has any role on a battlefield.

I just realized you're not the guy who said "it doesn’t mean the old ones are obsolete", so probably moot

Cavalry charges absolutely were used to break lines of infantry. It just became obsolete earlier than you think.

If they're trying to dissuade "universal compressors" then Mike needed to ask for the algorithm first, and then generate his file. If you tell me "I bet you can't compress this file!" then I can do whatever I want to write some stupid one-off compressor to shave a byte off and take your money.

Sean Olive. It's motivated by the fact that engineers are mixing audio on (actually-) flat-response monitors in studios with a slight echo, and a "flat" headphone response is the best way to emulate that. This curve is something they measured and published a paper on. If your headphones sound better with your EQ then they probably aren't meeting the Harman/"flat" target, or you're deviating from the norm in your preferences.

Sorry - not constant power, obviously, since at the extremes the power is 0.

No, electric motors exert the most torque at zero RPM. That's where you can put the most current through the coil, because there's no back-EMF. It's why EVs are so zippy from a stop. The torque-speed curve is a straight line, with 0 torque at max RPM and a constant power.

Sorry, I dropped the context when I decided to make this a top-level comment. Does scraping in a browser circumvent scraping protections that Selenium non-headless would get caught by?

How is this different from scraping in, say, Selenium in non-headless mode?

I don't think that's true. What's your example? As far as I know any operation on a classical computer can be emulated on a quantum computer in some short amount of time; constant time, maybe.

Anyone know if this will have any impact on low-latency linux audio? The article calls out JACK, but I'd guess the new standard for musicians recording on Linux is pipewire. So if pipewire either found some workaround or has been enabling a real-time module, I suppose those end users wouldn't see a difference.

Anyone tried both this and QCoDeS? We use QCoDeS in our lab after deciding Keysight's Labber wasn't tenable, and I'm curious how they compare.
