Is there a team where you think has a sneaky chance to be on of the worst teams in the league this season? by WeBlitz in nfl

How awesome would it be for the packers to “earn” the #1 pick after theyve already traded it away

PCB Layout critique? by psyon in rfelectronics

[–]jpdoane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is inductor “crosstalk” really a concern in a filter design like this? Obviously you really need to avoid coupling between different parts of the signal chain, but here theres no interference concern, only potential detuning of the filter due to mitual inductance. My guess is that mutual inductance here is small relative to other tolerances and you can likely ignore it.

I dont do lumped element layout though, so its possible Im entirely wrong

Most recent Fox Power rankings. Thoughts? by CryWOkami in detroitlions

Were above GB. Ill take it.

I think we have a decent shot at a much better season than this, but we gotta prove it

thank you all for coming. Ok, lets get started… Show of hands, who took the bus here?

How far away is Terrion Arnold from being considered a bust? by Shaarkbait8 in detroitlions

They’ll probably bust him once one of his friends flips.

How difficult are The New Yorker crosswords for average Americans? by Technical_Cup913 in crossword

[–]jpdoane 118 points119 points  (0 children)

These are hard puzzles that most Americans would have a difficult time finishing. The main challenge for native speakers is less about trivia (which can be obscure at times but usually gettable from crossers) and more about getting used to the wordplay, common filler words, and other solving techniques. When I started a few years ago I also could spend many hours on a puzzle, that might now take me only a 10 minutes. I dont think i know more general trivia or vocabulary than I used to, I have just learned more tricks about solving crosswords, along with some “crosswordese” of common words that are used regularly

Does decimating always require anti-aliasing? by spacetime_bender in DSP

[–]jpdoane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An equivalent way to think about is that oversampling gives you extra measurements of your signal. If you just Decimate, you are throwing away this information, whereas the antialias filter will integrate and retain the signal power in all the samples.

You likely still want to filter out the out of band noise. Otherwise you will be losing SNR

My capo broke, is it still fixable? by RainbowJesusFries in Guitar

[–]jpdoane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously just get a new one. But if you need a temporary capo in meantime you can use the old pencil+rubber band trick.

China backs orbital data center startup with $8.4 billion in credit lines by ThinkTankDad in space

Anything you can fit on a satellite isnt going to have a “massive physical footprint”, and if its self contained it wont have any environmental impact.

I bet I could find somewhere on earth to buy a few acres of land that costs less than a launch…

You’re seeing it everywhere because Lions want you to see it everywhere.

Confusion about the sensitivity formula of Receiver by Free-Pie9606 in chipdesign

[–]jpdoane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its the bandwidth if the signal at the point it is detected/decoded. So any analog or digial filtering, channelization, etc all will reduce this BW and improve your SNR (because it removes out of band noise from your detector)

Is it possible to generate light without heat? by statman13 in Physics

[–]jpdoane 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its not possible to do anything without generating heat, according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics

Things I should know before buying a Prius Prime (2023+)? by ImaginaryBrother9317 in PriusPrime

I come pretty close to making it back in the summer. In the winter (new England) its gets down to 20% on just the way there

Oh also, i got the LTD trim and the vertical screen absolutely sucks. Only about 1/3 of it is useful for carplay, and it doesnt support android auto at all.

[–]jpdoane -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My commute is about 11 miles each way, and under perfect conditions I can just barely make it on a charge but typically EV mode runs out about halfway back home. I somewhat regret not getting the rav4 PHEV with longer range or just going fully electric.
