I'd like to see the source of your cost numbers, I've never seen a $/MW from the Navy's subs' and carriers' reactors that was defensible, even Construction Physics didn't want to come up with a $/MW number in their discussion [0]
But remember that with the Seawolf classes the cost was astronomically higher than in the Virginia submarine; high costs are very possible without the NRC and are frequent, and an excellent counterexample to show the underlying fallacy behind the "NRC must be reason costs are high" argument. And remember that the Navy can use highly-enriched fuel that we don't allow in civilian reactors, and that the military nuclear labor force usually gets the best and the brightest and that the civilian nuclear work force gets the leftovers.
The NRC could be the source of high cost, but if so there should be two clear pieces of evidence to show that: 1) clear examples of the NRC doing something to drive up costs, and 2) some example of what to do instead of the NRC, or differences with other regulatory schemes that we could adopt instead. In particular, I never hear the corrective action that people want to the NRC. Having the Navy license civilian power reactors does not seem feasible. The closest we got to suggested regulatory reform culminated with Vogtle and Summer's failure: combined licensing. The biggest benefit of the industry's request merely gave the builders enough rope to hang themselves with bad design and their own delays.
Absolutely. I'm using it on RP2040, and it's actually superfun to have real low-level code working in parallel.
In my case, one CPU is doing the CAN-based communication and the device control loop, and the other core is providing the IP-based interface with SNMP-based monitoring.
The biggest challenge was the SPI communication during the initialization phase. I had a timing violation in the register set sequence that caused the IC to enter unpredictable states.
Because the ESP32 is so fast, I was driving the SPI lines without adequate delay between bytes during configuration. The ADS1299 would technically "communicate" but then behave crazily during data acquisition. I had to go back to the datasheet's SPI timing diagrams and strictly enforce the timing constraints in firmware to get it stable. I wish SPI was a more strictly defined standard
Interesting! I expected something along the lines of wifi / LWIP tuning since you said streaming. I knew that I2C barely works, but I wasn't aware SPI is underspecified as well.
„We use the unrevised edition because we believe the revised edition (the revisions were done by Carnegie’s relatives after his death) forcefully makes the language of the book gender neutral and politically correct and takes away from the originality of the work.
They even went so far ahead as to make quotes from other people gender neutral and politically correct.
Most of the revised editions available today do not include Parts 5 and 6. Even the included parts see many paragraphs and examples omitted.
In many places, characters in examples who were male have been edited to be female.
It appears that Carnegie’s relatives decided to heavily excise content and highhandedly edit the work to match their own sensibilities and what appears to the webmasters as a feminist agenda.
The unrevised edition as on this website is complete without exclusions and edits.
We believe this text written by Dale Carnegie himself while he was alive without the alterations made by his relatives after his death is more readable, complete, and enjoyable.“
I don't understand what compels the family to alter his work. If you want a "girl power" self-help book, why not write one yourself instead of stealthily altering an existing one?
I can't defend all the modifications, but let's take a look at why they may have felt the need:
> Men should express their appreciation of a woman’s effort to look well and dress becomingly. All men forget, if they have ever realized it, how profoundly women are interested in clothes.
> Mrs Lincoln’s jealousy was so foolish, so fierce, so incredible, that merely to read about some of the pathetic and disgraceful scenes she created in public – merely reading about them seventy-five years later makes one gasp with astonishment. She finally went insane; and perhaps the most charitable thing one can say about her is that her disposition was probably always affected by incipient insanity.
IIRC, something similar to the The Elements of Style for its 4th edition. It got revised by some anonymous hack to match current-day sensibilities, which is totally inappropriate for a book that's so opinionated.
Books really shouldn't be turned into brands. If you're going to have someone who's not the author revise a book, they should put the revisor's name on the cover as one of the authors.
„The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
They not only developed it, but actually built it to completion, with the liquid Natrium circulating. It was ultimately stopped for political reasons by the SPD state government, and the usual cowardice of CDU/FDP.
"[..] the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) opened an investigation into the merger. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) and several Democrats in the House of Representatives sent a letter to then-FTC Chair Lina Khan, saying "the FTC should use its authority to oppose the Amazon–iRobot transaction."" [0]
Thanks, I guess? Better to let China buy the husk than evil Amazon, right.
Very refreshing. Most engineers would rather saw their leg off.
