The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO) operates facilities in Chile because it offers good weather, good seeing, and it is in the Southern Hemisphere. None of the ESO’s…
Yes. That is indeed a total rumour.
It’s the same in China. My wife’s family is from there, and they hand out antibiotics for everything. Everyone seems to have a stash of them as well. When my in-laws were visiting Australia for a couple of months and my…
I can’t even get Siri to reliably play a song or skip a track, let alone anything useful. Must be my accent. I’d hate to try to operate vehicle controls with the same hit-and-miss interface. Give me tactile controls any…
A few guys in my PhD office 15 years ago used to have a hobby of doing something similar. They’d invent a “fact”, spin up a webpage with that fact, add the fact to Wikipedia and cite the webpage to add plausibility.…
If certain words (like “orange”) are statistically unlikely to be used in that context in that rhyme scheme, then they’re unlikely to be picked to begin with.
Previously generated words are added to the input token window. At the point it’s generating the next word, it knows what its preceding words were. With a conceptual representation of various rhyme schemes, subsequent…
I’m eagerly anticipating our company moving to Teams. Right now, the only approved chat solution is Skype for Business (with only plaintext messaging - rich text, files and images have been disabled for security…
Even with double blind reviews, it’s often very clear who wrote the paper. Authors regularly cite work by themselves or their team, so a statement like “In a previous study[1] we established a relationship between X and…
Just Rockbox. I’m using an iPod Video as well. Then I set up the bookmarking and startup settings to suit. It’s very customisable. I also generated “talk files” to voice the filenames. My Walkman is an NW-A45 upgraded…
The pre-Android Sony Walkmans (like the NW-A55 mentioned above) have decent battery life. I typically get around 30 hours from my SONY NW-A45. In a world where many modern “audiophile” players only get 8-10 hours of…
UK Consumer Contract law has a 14-day cancellation period. For digital goods, the legislation states: —— Under a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium, the trader must not begin supply of…
That’s precisely the approach taken in studying the Mpemba effect, with wildly differing results. The article goes into the difficulties in analysing out-of-equilibrium systems (both experimentally and theoretically).
There’s definitely been a shift in tone in articles from the SCMP over the past five years. It used regularly provide highly critical coverage of both the Hong Kong and Chinese Governments. It was broadly supportive of…
It’s likely the FBI mentioned they had an app they could leverage, Australia noted that there was a gap in the local market after Phantom had been taken down, and the two agencies decided to seed the app into the…
They covered themselves by ensuring that the devices could only be ordered after private referral from another user. All of whom were underworld figures (the devices were initially “seeded” to “underworld influencers”).…

It’s been running for three years. I suspect something changed recently (perhaps some imminent threat) that meant they needed to act now.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is optically just fine if you stop down slightly, and the RF version is even better. It’s not much more than $100. The Olympus 25mm f/1.8 is absolutely fantastic, and smaller. As are all the…
In low light, I’ve never seen a smartphone that will beat a fast prime on a mirrorless or DSLR camera. A kit zoom lens will struggle in low light, but you can get extremely high quality fast primes for a couple of…
When shooting JPEG, I just use an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter cable, and import straight to my phone (and iCloud Photo Library). The cable is in my camera bag, and it takes less than a minute to do the import.
It’s not judging a book by its cover. It’s judging a company that designs a smartphone UX experience by their website’s UX experience. My eyes. I hit back.
Currently, the quarantine system for returning residents is entirely overloaded. Leakage of cases from quarantine has been common, leading to snap lockdowns. Additionally, there aren’t many commercial flights right now,…
The rise in ride-sharing requires a rethink in transportation planning within cities and campuses. We did a study for a major university after it found a huge increase in traffic volumes within its main entry “plaza”,…
The Economist is the gold standard, with unbiased, quality writing. Brilliant all round. However, it’s expensive (especially if you prefer print over digital). I subscribe on and off. I also really like Foreign Policy.…
