Question. Is it guaranteed efficiency with wired?

Well at least doesn’t have to worry about “suspension does not lower” and “charger covered in dirt “ or “cat hides under there for warmth” problems. Those are on top of the existing charging losses.

Poor cat...

Heh. I didn't mean it in a gruesome way :-) just saw that someone mentioned it has a sensor to shut it off. So assuming it works as designed a cat might like the nice warm pad to hang out on in the winter. Owner parks hoping to charge their car by morning, the pad charges for 10 min, stray cat notices car is back and hides in there for warmth, charger stop charging immediately, cat moves on, and next day the car is not charged and the owner can't leave for work. It's just not a failure mode a cable has to worry about.

Now I'm wondering how this thing would affect a cat sitting on it while the car is parked above.

The charger includes motion sensors and “foreign object detection”.

If a pet, person, or metal object gets between the pads, the system supposedly stops working so nothing overheats.

So, it might get a cat yelled at ^_^

The efficiency of a wired connection tends to be well-known and rather stable over time, yes.

.1 percentile will still be working.

Is your process Hindu, Buddhist, Christian?

A process is monotheistic because everyone is created by PID 1.

But when process dies, might it hope to become init on next reboot?

I'm a lowly shell, but in another life I aspire to achieve greatness through docker.

Start a cult with init=/bin/????? in your bootloader ;)

Bro, your handle is hackernud3s.

Xiaomi can and does use TSMC.

These platform exists because traditional methods are failing students in education. Some of them are scam but blaming it on Khan is BS.

Traditional methods are failing because of austerity and capitalism. Pedagogy is a science which has expert studying these things. And most teachers are well aware of the science and know what works. Stuff like instant feedback has been known to work better since behavioralism in the 1950s. Problem is that whenever these solutions are applied they are used to cut corners and make education cheaper, resulting in a net loss. This is a problem of austerity.

Note that I was explicitly not blaming this on Khan, I was merely stating that he is the face if this movement and as such will get a lot of the blame, regardless of how much he deserves it.

My personal feelings about him is that he is actually an excellent teacher, and has independently discovered what pedagogical scientists have known for decades. He however allowed his discoveries to be packaged as a neat capitalist solution, and then has watched as his “discoveries” were used to excuse austerity (and made a bunch of money doing so). At best he is naive, and at worst he is an active participant. Either way he deserves at least some of the blame (though personally, I would rather blame the system, and point to him as being a part of it)

Weird thing to put behind a paywall! I'll try some extensions.

> materials that were much better

Do you have few examples?

Personally I like books, but there are also many, many lecture videos on YouTube, some of them excellent (though I think they could still be better with bigger production teams and higher budgets). For college-level technical subjects, there are also e.g. many MIT lectures on OCW. If you have a specific topic in mind, I urge you to search around. (Making a long list of my own book/website/video recommendations about various topics here seems a bit off topic and out of scope.)

> For college-level technical subjects, there are also e.g. many MIT lectures on OCW.

There are? I know an OCW course includes "lecture notes" pdfs. Does it have the lectures too?

For example, the course "distributed systems" is available on OCW as 6.824, from spring 2006: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-824-distributed-computer-syste...

MIT has renumbered the course, but it's still around: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824/ . Don't be fooled by the URL; it's now 6.5840.

And a series of lectures is available too: https://www.youtube.com/@6.824/videos . They're from spring 2020. They link to the course website for spring 2020, which is great. But it doesn't link to them, and OCW doesn't know about any of this, as far as I can tell. The 6.824 lecture series is pretty hard to discover, too, because it's uploaded by an account dedicated solely to that one course, which isn't related to any other MIT lecture videos.

Some OCW courses have lecture videos, while others do not.

Is 6.824 one that does, or one that doesn't?

From your OCW link, you can see the Spring 2006 version of the course has syllabus, lecture notes, readings, lab assignments, and 2 quizzes available, but no videos. Separately, videos of the 2020 version of the course are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrw6a1wE39_tb2fErI4-W...

Is this the reason why this story is flagged and pushed down to 2nd page?

Probably because there’s a new Flock-bashing post every day or two on here, and there’s barely any tech relevance for a global audience.
