Based on my very amateurish skim of this and a related paper, maybe so? They simulated the neutrino background as solar and cosmic ray atmospheric sources, so any source with a different energy distribution is perhaps a…
My friend, handling the waste of all the people that live in a city is one of the most basic examples of the public commons I can imagine lol. What are you talking about?? It is a bit fundamental to the concept of a…
I've seen and loved this before but only today I thought to zoom all the way out and see the true terminator affected by elevation. We usually only seen the idealized smooth curve. Very neat!
Very nice article, and I appreciate SQLite's explanation of the bug too. And how extremely cool Tailscale appears to have been about it (paying for the VFS shim, etc.). I'd have liked to have heard more about the…
And how about safety of life systems? They use computers in chemical plants and on planes, you know lol. Integer overflows have a body count!
Ok fine, but I bet you can't come up with a good gluten free banana bread recipe.
Isn't this basically how more modern "chatty" CLIs use stderr? Put all the nice progress bars and emojis behind `if isatty(2)`? I thought so anyway, but I'll admit I've never actually looked at what npm, uv, etc. do.
Man, that project is such bait for my particular sensibilities but just looking at the copy about not sharing your data and only sharing weights has me feeling very disappointed in the project already. I would want a…
To actually follow through with this fully they would have had to revoke all kinds of internal access for foreign nationals and demand they immediately return their hardware (at 5pm on a Friday no less), no? Unless…
It's true, but to be honest the MinGW-built stuff that ships with git for Windows has been enough since WSL took off.
VUE was so excellent looking it makes me want to run CDE today.
Earthquake early warning systems are a top 10 peak human achievement in my book. No joke, I tear up watching videos of Japan's EEW system alerting people of possible danger just in time. There are streamers who's whole…
Your startup CEO acquaintance sounds like a real piece of work. Hope he rethinks such an unethical decision!
My understanding is that even that small amount is more than the Apollo crews had. It's all a bit of a marketing line anyway. We can see a good portion of the "far side" from Earth due to the Moon's libration. Still,…
This article is plagued by several almost-truths, and gets a lot mixed up. The thing that is happening for the first time on this mission is humans personally observing much of the far side in daylight. For the Apollo…
The cynic in me wants to say that most of the web these days is pushing H.264 frames from a CDN to proprietary phone apps and the rest is pushing Widevine video from the same CDN to proprietary browsers and we'll never…
Yes, while I was reading the article I couldn't help but think about notaries public. Seems like something like that would be government's go-to for this if they weren't quite so overfed on tech industry contributions…
Direct link to the NASA report: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/nasa-report-... Reading between the lines of the summary a bit, it sure sounds like NASA program leadership was essentially doing pro bono…
It's inter-organizational disfunction. Always more plausible than any conspiracy. https://apnews.com/article/faa-el-paso-texas-air-space-close... Pentagon wanted to test the new laser but didn't give FAA enough…
Somewhere, in the deepest bowels, Skype still lives. I'm sure of it.
The broadcast nature of it is something that I missed just last night. I was walking past several bars as the Seahawks won a big football game, but of course each spot was on a different stream delay so instead of one…
Yep, and I'll add: the first reader is the first maintainer. When that is turned over to an LLM agent the organization's leadership had better be prepared to entertain rewrites (reprompts?) of significant portions of…
From what I've heard (FWIW), Airbus released a version of the software for one of the flight computers that removed SEU protections (hence grounding affected models until they could be downgraded to the previous…
G, the gravitational constant is (as far as we know) universal. I don't think this is what they meant, but the use of "across the universe" in the parent comment is confusing. g, the net acceleration from gravity and…
My first thought about that is you'd need a lot of satellites already nearly co-planar with the ICBM's inclination and there probably aren't enough Starlinks in any given inclination to make that realistic (granting…
