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…
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…
Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!
AWS for sure (Elemental maybe?), but could also be Ring.
Indeed, the recent trend of the US government itself posting videos of the drone murders of Venezuelans stands in real stark contrast to how that was handled just 15 years ago.
In what way is dark matter not a phenomenon? Just because we don't know what it is doesn't make it a noumenon.
To take many exposures of the same scene and average the pixel values with the corresponding pixels from all the exposures. This increases the SNR and dynamic range, but naturally doesn't work very well if your subject…
I'd say laundry is more Sisyphean than Promethean in my experience.
I'm no expert either, I just think they look neat. But from what I know it's primarily the nearby star or star cluster illuminating them, so yes it'd be distinct. Also there are mixed emission and reflection nebulae so…
Don't forget my fav, the humble reflection nebula. Of course there are always emissive stars in the background of any image of one so the point is moot. But still, there are a few hundred! :D
