    Captain's Log, stardate 79519.8.

    The Enterprise has arrived in the Maroun al-Ras system to host a commemorative ceremony celebrating the handover of the area to the local culture. The federation has been conducting a minesweeping operation in the area for several months as a peacekeeping operation. While hostilities with the nieghboring culture which layed those mines are ongoing, we are hopeful our presence will allow this handover to occur without incident.

  • I'm p sure calling it "Lunar" New Year erases the fact that it's the Chinese calendar setting the date of Feb 19th (Vietnamese calendar is based on Chinese), and erases the other lunar calendars used throughout the world today (Muslim calendar is most prominent of those). Both of those erasures are really convenient within the western propaganda symbology.

  • my understanding is that video files are always in their compressed state, and have been since video compression has existed. i.e. it's always the local machine that's decoding the file. that said modern video compression is quite impressive (e.g. the change from h264 to h265), but upgrading all of YT to state of the art codecs is a significant amount of compute, and removing older files might create compatibility issues for users on older HW.

  • Tesla discontinues Model X and S vehicles as Elon Musk pivots to robotics

    Jump

  • the piston seals in the cylinders of an ICE car should be (nearly?) air tight. As the car is used the pistons/seals wear down reducing engine performance and efficiency. It can get so bad that the car won't even run, I once test drove a car that started fine but would die at idle speed when warm. It's very expensive to fix, most cars are probably scrap at that point.

    special diagnostic tools are needed to get that information from an ICE, whereas an EV will, at the very least, display right on the dash"fully charged : x miles"

  • literally, an EV will tell you a range estimate based on current charge level (and include ambient/battery temperature in that estimate, maybe even recent terrain/driving behavior).

  • so I know a white USian who moved to Canada & someone said it's "imperialistic" of them to call themselves "expat" rather than "immigrant". I get that the term is used selectively, but they are literally synonyms, are the connotations really that charged?

    Capacitors -Trans Megathread from week 1/12/2026 to 1/18/2026

    Jump

  • yes they do. In an extrememely basic sense, capacitors block low frequencies but pass high frequencies. for example with a DC voltage the capactitor "fills up" with the constant flow of electrons and that built up charge repels further flow. in contrast the electrons in a circuit with quickly oscillating voltage will change direction before the capacitor has time to fill up and slow the current.

    capacitors are chiefly categorized by their capacitance (unit name farads) which is essentially the amount of charge they can store. this means that, basically, the higher the capacitance the lower the frequency it will let pass. see also, "high pass filters"

  • don't be the most aggressive off putting weirdo in the room

  • Chinese team builds optical chip AI that is 100 times faster than Nvidia’s A100

    Jump

  • to compare against moore's law (doubling every 2 years): log base 2 of 100 is 6.6, so 6.6 doublings over 5 years. 12*5/6.6 = 9 meaning a doubling every 9 months in order to compete with the gains this chip represents.

    I sincerely doubt Nvidia has been consistently making that kind of progress.

    They don't say whether the 100 figure is pure compute performance or performance per watt, but it seems like a big deal either way. maybe we'll see widescale deployment of optical compute soon.

    tone: not antagonistic, just exploring the idea.
