Researchers at MIT have developed a low-cost energy storage system using cement and carbon black. The materials can be combined with water to create a supercapacitor, an alternative to batteries, that stores electrical energy. The researchers claim that the supercapacitor could be incorporated into the concrete foundation of a house, storing a day’s worth of […]
This web content discusses the challenges and complexities of using the Event Tracing for Windows API. The author emphasizes the importance of getting APIs right and the unnecessary work that can be caused by mistakes in API design. The author walks through the steps necessary to use the Event Tracing for Windows API and highlights […]
The Library of Congress is calling on video game developers to create engaging video games centered around civics, using resources provided by the Library. The inspiration for this challenge came from the classic game, Oregon Trail, which was both educational and entertaining. Cash prizes of $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 will be awarded to the top […]
In a recent claim, modified lead-apatite was said to exhibit ambient-pressure room-temperature superconductivity, leading to widespread excitement. The compound was created by sintering lanarkite and copper(I) phosphide. To investigate this claim, the authors synthesized Pb2SO5, Cu3P, and the modified lead-apatite Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O, analyzing their electrical and magnetic properties. However, the results showed that Pb2SO5 is an […]
Sinéad Griffin Dr. presents a recent report on the discovery of room temperature superconductivity in Cu-substituted apatite, which has excited interest in the field. Using density functional theory calculations, the author examines Cu-substituted lead phosphate apatite and uncovers correlated isolated flat bands at the Fermi level, a common characteristic of high-temperature superconductors. These isolated bands […]
The author discusses the Fibonacci sequence and its relationship to linear algebra. They explain how to calculate Fibonacci numbers in a more efficient way using matrices and eigenvectors. They also discuss the connection between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio, showing how the ratios between Fibonacci numbers approximate the golden ratio. The author highlights […]
In the past few years, there has been a revolutionary shift in the Silicon industry. Fabless companies like ARM, AMD, and Qualcomm, along with foundries like TSMC and Samsung, have disrupted the status quo with horizontal integration. This article discusses how Mercari, a company, replaced their GKE nodes from Intel x86 to AMD x86 and […]
We are updating the classic computer book “BASIC Computer Games” for 2022 and beyond. You can read the original book and play the original games in your browser. We have organized all the original BASIC source code into folders for each project, and thanks to Lyle Kopnicky, the code has been normalized to run against […]
Summary: The author provides a comparison table of various vector databases, acknowledging that it may not be comprehensive and could contain errors. They encourage others to contribute to the Google Sheet for updates. The author emphasizes the importance of choosing the right database for storing vector formats, noting that many solutions require maintaining embeddings separately, […]
