Woodworking tools! Just one more item would make up for my poor design and lack of skill!

I think some Chinese brands need to own their premium prices. It might be difficult with electronics however.

There are steels that premium Chinese brands can make that are objectively better that nobody else has produced yet and they are VERY expensive.

Well you want some weight which is why I’m suggesting the whole car but sure if you want some custom solution you can build something better.

Hmm… this might be easier to do with an electric car. Put it on an inclined track, and then drive uphill to store energy, and go downhill to release the energy.

Thinking China is the same as it was 10-30 years ago and that Chinese products can’t have superior quality.

We’ve reached a point where the US doesn’t even know how to manufacture some of the stuff China can.

Yeah monitors typically cost more than the equivalent TV as it’ll have more features.

This depends on the country. Switzerland has excellent transit to even remote towns. And it has an excellent car culture for this reason as well.

We already apply distortion correction based on lens profiles. Probably all cell phone lenses do this. They just aren’t corrected based on individual phones.

Ah I see. Do non phone specific generic lenses exist? They all seem pretty specialized to me.

That means we could get better processing by applying this analysis in reverse. Would also reduce this type of fingerprinting.

Why would a generic lens be any better? These distortions are part of the lens design and manufacturing. Arguably, a lower quality lens would be easier to identify.

I mean… you’d get better results for large data sets by just using a known compression algorithm. This is only viable for situations where you only have a small amount of data, enough computation to run this conditional, but not enough computation to run compression/decompression.

Have fun! At some point I gave up on it because it was too much like a job.

You can still lessen assembly, it’s not that hard actually, just tedious. It can play TIS-100 if you want a “fun” way to learn it.

What about Cyberpunk?

Wait which Red Alert was this?

Except it has?

Geosynchronous means the orbital period is a day and relatively circular. Satellites with these orbits basically look down at the same part of the Earth.

Lagrange points are locations along an orbit where gravitational forces balance out with the centrifugal force of the orbit. This does allow less fuel expenditure to maintain.

For the Earth-Sun or Earth-Moon systems, the Lagrange points do not occur at the altitude of the geosynchronous orbit. The Lagrange points are either significantly further away or at a different orbital phase.

any system that communicates information is apparently a digital communications system, so long as you can imagine an arbitrary scheme to interpret at least one bit of information from the signal,

This has always been my point since the beginning! There exist very low bandwidth digital communication systems in real life, with less than one bit per second. The bandwidth available should be defined where something is digital or not.

regardless of whether that was the message intended to be communicated.

Seeing the bird in the spectrogram is quite intentional and sufficient to consider this a communications system.

It seems if instead of a bird picture, a random set of bits were encoded and then detected In the spectrogram, you’d consider this more of a digital system since instead of a human doing the check you use an algorithm?

If we’re being pedantic, shouldn’t we consider that it can be a one bit signal? Otherwise you should be specific about what bandwidth you’d consider digital.
