I thought it would be heat pump related

I can imagine a setup where multiple series of slower cooler water converging into a faster warmer stream, and the water will extract an equal amount of heat away from all the chips whether upstream or downstream.

Wouldn’t it be kidnapped easily if it doesn’t use wires or GPS?

Thanks to this I just learned about alluvium, eluvium, illuvium, and colluvium.

I think the appeal is much higher than we think. Apple tried to do the same thing with on-device child porn image recognition. The company that markets itself as the privacy advocate.

I suppose by XOR the payload the image size will multiply many times because no compression, whether lossy or lossless, will be possible.

Tsunamis are waves the same way a step function is the sum of a series of waves.

How about the UN censuring Iran for not complying with the agreement? Was this a manufactured consensus? I don't see anyone mentioning IAEA's decision here.

I was just reading how fishing industry’s longlines have caught many dolphins and other bycatches. It would be great to be able to give them warnings, or even better, to ask them to keep other big animals away from the longlines.

Humm the next logical step would be to pressurize the rocket before igniting it. Or maybe to add some water in the bottle to increase the propelled mass. They just need a way to ignite the alcohol fume from the top……

Considering that it's called a world championship, someone should study the sport in-depth! Are the players allowed to swing the chestnut in a circle like a sling? Can they use carbon fiber strings, or maybe some sort of elastic string to build up more energy? Or can the player use a heavy string so it can crack like a whip? Fancy arm/wrist/fingers movements to accelerate the chestnut in the last moment? What's the optimum strike angle to crack a chestnut along its natural cleavages? This could be so exciting!

Anyone worth their education would not be paying down their 0% student loan right now. The article didn’t take into account of the high interest rates everywhere else. The money could be better used to pay down other debts or be put in treasury bills.

Does this need very accurate DAC to cover the entire color spectrum? Maybe even fine-tuning on each pixel?
