Searching is sometimes fruitful (sigh)... At any rate, here's a link with both natural and enhanced color: https://mastcamz.asu.edu/galleries/sol-1516-mastcam-z-360-pa...
Does anyone know if the non-colorized version of this is available? I'd like to see this as a Mars explorer actually would...
I'm in the same category, but GPU support is definitely interesting too. The idea of offloading intensive processing to the GPU has its merits.
Good news! The El Nino that's forming is predicted to cause record snowpack in the West this winter... https://nypost.com/2026/08/16/science/super-el-nino-odds-for...
(A) Mojo is intended to be a more ergonomic Rust, with Pythonic syntax, and much faster compilation. (B) Mojo supports multiple GPU types, including AMD, Apple, and whatever may come along. That's one of its major…
Mojo and Julia have some very fundamental differences though... Mojo is a fully ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled systems language. Julia is much more dynamic, and its AOT compilation story is still quite weak. Mojo also has…
If it's open sourced, Qualcomm won't need to worry about Metal support. If Mojo is popular enough, Apple might get involved. If not, no doubt there'll still be Apple users that want Mojo support, and are willing to work…
One is an objective measurement, the other is a completely subjective judgement. As they say, there's no accounting for taste...
You're absolutely wrong on both points in my case. I've driven many "real sports cars", and I'm not not just "posting numbers from the Tesla spec sheets", my Model Y is my daily driver. Ironically, you're the one…
I've yet to have any issues with the battery overheating, and most if not all of the braking is regenerative (no brake pad wear).
By the way, the stock Corolla GR can pull right around .95 G, just like the Model Y Performance...
This seems like a ton of hype for a marginal (if that) improvement over existing art. We've had "truly random" numbers for a long time, starting with those based on radioactive decay. Current hardware RNGs already take…
Most commenters here are focused on the Microsoft hardware, but the article mentions systems from several other manufacturers using the same hardware. Some of them, Dell and Lenovo in particular, have good Linux…
I'll have to take a look at OxCaml. I'm leery of "C-like" performance claims after Java has thoroughly failed to live up to a similar claim after thirty plus years of development... What it's actually achieved is about…
Illegal orders?
The disincentives to nuclear war are glaringly obvious enough that even politicians (and their masters) get it. AI isn't like that. One problem is that it's rather generally misunderstood at this point. "AI" is not…
I agree that if the best we can do is something that can't be self-sustaining, Mars should wait until that changes. I disagree with KSR's main points. Perchlorates are solvable, the effects of Martian gravity are not…
LLMs are amazing technology. It's crazy to interact with something that knows a lot about effectively everything that's ever been written, as well as mimicking human cognition to a large degree. What LLMs are NOT is…
According to current theory AIUI, cosmic inflation greatly influenced the CMB. It ended approximately 10^-32 seconds after the Big Bang: "Cosmic inflation is believed to have occurred in an incredibly brief, rapid, and…
Any Faraday cage, bag or not, will eliminate surveillance of the phone until it comes online. Physics wins again.
Sadly, I’m old enough to remember that Ada was the result of a US initiative to standardize a capable language for embedded development. A good friend worked on the well regarded Telesoft compiler…
Total nonsense. Just avoid Minnesota…
I'm surprised the author of this article thinks Go is a "system language". Go uses GC, and therefore can't be used for hard real time applications. That's disqualifying as I understand it. C, C++, Rust, Ada, and Mojo…
I think there are some major problems with this thinking. How does this relate to human artists who studied prior art and then produced something? I’ll grant you that AI isn’t actually intelligent, but I’ve seen many…
