Nope. It's basically forgotten. At least, I haven't heard anyone talking about it, either in my circles or in the media.

Thanks for the explanation, it was very clear. Especially the bit about never being able to see your own private key. Ok I get it, it's to prevent malware from doing the same, but it still vaguely distasteful.

In my limited understanding, they are similar to SSH public/private key pairs. But the details continue to elude me, no matter how much I read about them. Won't try them out until I get how they work.

It's quite difficult with current rocket technology: you have to counteract most of the Earth-given 30km/s speed around the Sun in order to get close (it's smaller than Mercury's orbit), and then brake again to circulari

7.2 grams a day is still a lot. Low-sodium diets aim for less than 3 grams a day, and it is not that difficult to go even lower. Whether a near-zero sodium intake is good or not, it's another can of worms, but a study looking at a huge

The ring is not a product of the supernova. It's pre-existing material, that is being energized by impact of the supernova ejecta (it took a few months for it to start brightening). There are actually three rings, a smaller one around

It's a limitation of the Falcon Heavy, the launcher used this time. A future, more powerful one could do it while being reusable.

It goes on until an Earth's day is as long as a month. Both will face each other in a fixed way. But it takes many billions of years and the Sun will burn both to a cinder much before that.

It's not so uncommon in science to come to a strange conclusion by excluding all "reasonable" alternatives. For example, black holes have a similar status: no one has conclusively seen one, but we know of no mechanism for mat

The day your wish is fullfilled is the day I stop working with Python. I can't stand all those useless braces everywhere, why are they there at all since good practice mandates proper indentation anyway? I am at the point where I prefe

Not just the Netherlands, most of Europe counts floors like this: ground, first, second, etc.

Look for the Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum, it uses exactly that metric.

Depends. For example cupy ( https://github.com/cupy/cupy ) is developed by a Japanese company and I find it extremely effective.

Mmmhh, not sure about that. Most people, even if not reaching high speeds, can still go substantially faster on a bike than running. Even grandmas, it's all relative. People like Bolt should be compared with bike sprinters, who top out

Most people won't be able to even reach 27.8 mph on a bike, you need a decent road bike and some training.

If you own enough of these automated factories, you don't need to sell anything at all. Just produce whatever luxury item you want, in addition to mundane things like food and shelter (in the form of caviar and villas, because why not?

No current LLM understands words, nor letters. They all have input and output tokens, that roughly correspond to syllabes and letter groupings. Any kind of task involving counting letters or words is outside their realistic capabilities. LL

> I wonder how much cheaper are land-based telescopes over the lifetime of instruments such as the Hubble or the Webb. 10-100 times cheaper. An LBT night is around $50k-100k, which over 10 years corresponds to $300 millions. JWST total b

A Tesla Megapack 2 can provide about 2MW of power, so you need 50 of them to replace the gas peaker. And since they have a 3.8MWh capacity, they only go for about two hours before being depleted, so if you want to cover the whole night when
