I like the concept, but I’m also mainly worried about the standard safety features. They can’t cheap out on that, and the list of minimum safety features has grown long and high tech.

“We have obtained consent from the patient”? Useless bullshit checkbox. How about getting the patient to actually sign the consent with their own handwriting? Right underneath a giant statement saying “you are agreeing to allow AI to transcribe everything said in this room, which is processed...

Another reason a G is not necessarily a G, in addition to changing direction in 3-D space and time duration, is being in control or not. An F1 driver is controlling his braking. In the same way a front car passenger is more likely to have motion sickness than the driver in the same car. In a...

Are you asking for evidence for a prediction of the future? That question makes no sense. It’s clearly an opinion and nothing else.

This is the history of VW. Too expensive for the low end market, and not nice enough for the luxury market. The market for that weird middle area is too small. I rented one of those Atlas a couple years ago, and it was massive but cheap feeling with rattles and no insulation.

My wife’s father flew his wife and two daughters all over the country in his private plane, and they had to use a “porta-Jane”.

A slight correction for accuracy: “Obviously, the actual power generated will be less than the rated capacity for most hours of the day.” The actual power generated will equal the rated capacity during the middle of a clear day. Or another correct version would be “Obviously, the average power...

Ignoring Trumpoleon for the moment, I’m trying to step back and see the big picture of data centers. People and businesses are using more compute power, especially AI, every day. That compute power will be supplied and will continue to grow. While the Watts per unit of work is dropping with...

Isn’t temperature control a closed loop system that keeps temperature in a narrow band? Why does it need manual adjustment? And why does that adjustment cause a massive 10 degree change? House/car/hotel room HVAC is better than that at 1/millionth(? pick a number) the cost.

What does this mean? I could use more explanation. It seems to be referencing two separate objects, and/or I don’t understand rocket speak, which is likely.

Very disappointing article. I’ve never seen a topic so dumbed down before on this technology website. Can you not use the standard words like inverter, synchronous generator, voltage regulation? Your readers are smart people. Use the real engineering terminology, please.

This article is poorly written. It can’t decide if higher voltage should result in lower current or higher power. And it doesn’t even know what it’s talking about when it jumps from one to the other. It mentions higher charging speed cars, and then immediately say that doubling the voltage means...

I had a very similar car in the early 90s, an Acura Legend two-door coupe with a V6 and a five speed manual. Looked very similar to those era Preludes and was such a blast to drive. Very mild mannered when driven easy, and a satisfying growl when you put your foot down.

Oh I have no problem asking someone to take it off speaker. I’ve done it a number of times. You just have to have a medium tone. Not too beggy and not too chastising. Just a bit matter of fact, but also a bit serious, with just the tiniest hair of friendliness, but not too much.

Not exactly. While a traditional nuclear reactor is on the order of 1000 MW, SMR‘s are on the order of 300 MW. So it’s only three or four SMR‘s to equal one traditional. Maybe you are thinking of micro reactors, but that’s not what these are. And SMR‘s will be grouped together at sites to...

I mean, somebody has to fill up all these new data centers with data. It’s our civic duty (pun bonus)!

OK, I guess I have to do it: They got pwned Gangnam Style!

Why is it dog slow? Eight seconds to 60 mph is ridiculous for an EV. You have to try really hard to make it that slow. No thanks. PS: my RAV4 plug-in hybrid is much faster than that.

Scharon, I think you’re missing a negative sign in the Q2, 2024 row of your earnings table

FTFY: The Pentagon is also developing the B-21 Trump strategic bomber and a new generation of “Trump-class” nuclear-armed subs. Next Trump please Trump your Trump more Trumpier so it doesn’t Trump as many Bidens in it.
