The actual method for calibrating exact resistor values involves starting with a lower resistance and etching away parts of it with a laser to get to the exact value you want. You probably still couldn’t get as many decimal places as OP tho

I’ve got a single access point, and I get full gigabit in my office with line of sight, and it auto switches to 5GHz or 2.4GHz when I move too far away. It’s also great for apartments since it’s more easily blocked by walls, there’s way less interference from neighbors.
This is a discussion about liberals in the US, not the liberal party of Canada, which is decidedly left of US politics as a whole.

This describes my experience with sooo many customer support systems. Administrative errors are a feature, not a bug.

I really dislike how LLMs are flooding the internet with a seemingly infinite amount of half-broken TODO-app style programs with no care at all for improving things or doing something actually unique.

xthexder@l.sw0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Types of development but more realistic11·24 days agoThe real flaw in the diagram is that all the intermediate steps of Agile are usable products. All 5 of those are completed, sellable products. Agile pivots way before any of these become usable.
The implication and “punchline” here is that millennials only have $300/year of free spending money. It’s self-deprecating/morbid humor.

They just memorize patterns really well.English91·26 days agoI’m not sure how you arrived at lime the mineral being a more likely question than lime the fruit. I’d expect someone asking about kidney stones would also be asking about foods that are commonly consumed.
This kind of just goes to show there’s multiple ways something can be interpreted. Maybe a smart human would ask for clarification, but for sure AIs today will just happily spit out the first answer that comes up. LLMs are extremely “good” at making up answers to leading questions, even if it’s completely false.

Compared to burning a piece of wood, which would release orders of magnitude more energy.

My truck has the “steer back into lane” style assist, but it’s tried to push me off the road before while I was towing a trailer on some narrow 1-lane roads. Some of the corners it’s just not possible to get around without touching the center line.
The vast majority of the time it stays on though and is quite helpful.
xthexder@l.sw0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish3·29 days agoIf anything I think they would have to use a green light that turns on when accelerating/not braking. It would be way more dangerous in the future when people are trained with “No green = braking” but older cars don’t have the light at all.
It’s important to consider how a transition like this would even work. I personally think this is a little too drastic of a change, and is incompatible with existing vehicles and habits.
xthexder@l.sw0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish4·29 days agoCars with lane-keep assist with vibrate the steering wheel and beep at you. It’s at least something but I think most people turn it off if it gets annoying
xthexder@l.sw0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident RatesEnglish4·29 days agoThey could use traffic light green. There’s not any problems identifying those even in places with the lights mounted horizontally. There’s enough difference in saturation you can tell the difference even with colorblindness.
For really sensitive applications like voltage references, they actually build a little enclosure around the part with a built in heater to keep it at a constant calibrated temperature. The boards also often have cutouts to reduce thermal transfer and things like the board flexing causing stress to the part.
The resistor itself won’t really drift at a constant temperature, especially in a sealed environment where condensation, corrosion, and dust aren’t a factor.
