Funny that this is "Intel's response" when they spent so many years leading and defining the market.

I guess Facebook/Meta is hiring programmers without Unix experience these days.

This is what happens when you use traceable cryptocurrencies like #Bitcoin. The only coin that keeps you safe by protecting your privacy is #Monero. https://mastodon.social/@ukrdef@mstdn.social/112870999401641416

a watt-hour is literally watts * hours. A 500Wh battery can deliver a sustained 500W of power output for 1 hour.
How much energy you need in battery storage depends on much power your motor can draw and how much time you need at full draw. Running at less than max wattage should give you longer runtime, as well.

kinda. I'm always looking for existing code to do what I want, because usually it's only a tiny piece of what I want to do overall, and I want to get to the full solution ASAP. But I'll also read the source and profile it, and rewrite it if it's obviously sub-opimal in places.

motion exists. dx/dt, change in position with respect to time. So yeah, time exists too.

PS: if you read that paper and came away thinking "wow, mmap is really bad" instead of "wow, these authors never proved their paper's thesis; they have no fucking idea what they're talking about" then your critical thinking skills need work.
The same is especially true of the morons who peer-reviewed the paper. Well, they were obviously their intellectual peers, anyway.
