The core of the latter is pretty short, essentially "Silvergate was incompetent and the original article is correct as written"
The section mentions Anchorage's OCC consent order for their own BSA issues, as well as an explanation of why these issues are important and gives examples of banks that were shut down by regulators.
This is not accurate. Find a child who has just learned how to write an A, and ask them to write an A with their feet, or even their non-dominant hand. It will be just as hard as getting them to write a B. The connection between shape and motion is a relatively simple one, but your first attempt at writing a word with piss in snow is gonna look awful. Penmanship needs to be learned in the new context.
A fun example I like to bring up involves yelling in foreign languages. Even if you have an impeccable accent in your second language, if you've never practiced talking loudly, the first time you need to order lunch over the noise of a passing subway train, your accent will entirely fall apart as you try to say the same thing, but louder. (Yes, this is a personal anecdote, with a passable accent in my second language, as opposed to impeccable.)
Nobody's quoting Feynman "as a counterpoint to actual authorities". Feynman's excerpt provides first-hand testimony from a teacher on the front lines that fully validates what the study found.
> 1. If you have a lot of devices powered off a single rail, placing lots of high-value decoupling capacitors will add up, so pay attention to inrush current. If you’re sticking 10uF decoupling caps on 20 devices then that’s 200uF. Maybe dial it back a smidge.
The conclusion of the article specifically mentions inrush concerns as one of the reasons to use large values. For the notch itself, relying on the difference between 0.05 Ohm and 0.02 Ohm decoupling is gonna make for a bad time, especially given how much that notch will move across DC bias and temperature.
This also gets rather tricky, because the standard way to connect computer chips is with copper traces, which are wildly good conductors of heat. A solution like this will probably need optical interconnects with the made from a thermal insulator.
It's a fun design problem to chew on
> Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM) is an emerging 3D printing technology that can create complex objects in under a minute. The key idea is to project intense light patterns onto a rotating vial of photo-sensitive resin, causing polymerization where the cumulative dose of these patterns reaches the polymerization threshold. We formulate the pattern calculation as an inverse light transport problem and solve it via physically based differentiable rendering. In doing so, we address long-standing limitations of prior work by accurately modeling and correcting for scattering in composite resins, printing in non-symmetric vials, and supporting unusual printing geometries. We also introduce an improved discretization scheme that exploits the ray tracing operation to mitigate resolution-related artifacts in prints. We demonstrate the benefits of our method in real-world experiments, where our computed patterns produce prints with an improved fidelity.
How long between 12:01:00.0 and 12:00 (as read on a clock)? Between 0 and 60 seconds.
How long between 11:59:00.0 and 12:00 (as read on a clock)? Between 60 and 120 seconds.
And yet, if I walked into your office and shouted your name, you would have less than a second of reaction time, indicating that you are processing all sound around you and deciding whether to get up and talk to someone pretty much continuously.
This so-called age of average is also a great age for subcultures and visual distinctiveness, but it's not found in the popular districts of cities over 10 million people or anything recommended by an Instagram account over 10 million followers.
> The results shown in fig. S9 indicate that this solid-state Li-air battery cell can work up to a capacity of ~10.4 mAh/cm2, resulting in a specific energy of ~685 Wh/kgcell. In addition, the cell has a volumetric energy density of ~614 Wh/Lcell because it operates well in air with no deleterious effects (supplementary materials, section S6.3)
Millions of these would not degrade signal. A random bit of metal (like a quarter, as shown for scale) in between you an a 4G tower should have the same effect as one of these devices. They are detecting existing 4G signal, not using it for energy harvesting.
Before the match, the expectation was that Gukesh would take an early lead and never look back, with the match ending before game 14. This morning, the expectation would be that Ding would make an easy draw with white (as he has done in 5 of his games as white already, winning the other), and it would go to tiebreaks.
Having the championship decided by a decisive final classical game is pretty rare. The last time it happened was 2010.
