This was my first thought as well. I've always been fascinated by written accounts of DMT triggering such oddly specific effects for users.

I find it very useful for wildlife photos. Autofocus never seems to work well for me on e.g. birds in flight. It's also possible to generate a depth map from a single shot, to use as a starting point for a 3D model. They're pretty

I'd be curious how many of today's automatic package validation tools or peer review processes would have caught the lotusbail package discussed in the article. The malicious aspects were heavily obfuscated, and it worked as adver

Algorithms like AES-GCM are standards because - when used according to best practices - there are no known practical attacks against them. If someone has an attack that would defeat the cryptographic protection in a particular piece of s

I've been assessing systems that use cryptography for about 20 years as part of my work in information security, and I've never seen a customization that increased the security of a cryptographic algorithm over following the best

I've used a shop vac as a first step, but if it's the only step, won't the queen survive and make more wasps? Unless you left it running for so long the queen starved to death, I mean. My current approach is to wait until aft

Maybe you have friendlier wasps in the UK, but the common ones in the US (yellowjackets, mud daubers, etc.) are generally very aggressive, and trying to coexist with them will end badly sooner or later. I'm vegetarian because of person

Feels like there must be some way to use "variability of colour by viewing angle" for tiny clusters of volumes in the object as a way to generate material settings when converting the Gaussian splat model to a traditional 3D model

by blincoln 1y ago
Really amazing results. I wonder if one could capture each angle in a single shot with a Lytro Illum instead of focus-stacking? Or is the output of an Illum not of sufficient resolution?

100% agree. I supported enterprise Windows systems for a decade, although I had Unix and Linux experience as well and liked all of them. I skipped Windows 8 entirely. For the 10 era, I had at least one Linux VM on each of my systems, and mi

In my experience, the Amazon search feature is very unpredictable and confusing. E.g. if I search for "<film or television series> blu ray" (no quotes), I will usually get only listings for foreign imports of the title sol

Amazon hasn't done a great job of packing for item protection in ~20 years. I honestly don't remember now if they ever did, and I was buying books from them in the late 90s. In my experience, small single items will usually go in

I'm also in Washington, and delivery times are inconsistent. Sometimes it's 1-2 days. Sometimes it's 3-5. There's no way to tell in advance which it will be. I haven't ended up with any fraudulent items, but I have

I don't think so. His description was that it was speeder bikes in a forest, like Return of the Jedi, but it was mostly a demo of the graphics capabilities, not a complete game. e.g. I remember he specifically said you could fly in any

Around 1995 or 1996, a friend said he'd played a speederbike graphics/game demo running on an SGI system at some kind of touring SGI promotional event. I've never been able to find screenshots or video of it, and was hoping i

Yeah, I'm already somewhat skeptical of the whole concept, having DIY'd a vibroblade out of an X-acto knife and a SonicCare toothbrush and finding it to be completely ineffective.[1] I think trying to make an ultrasonic vibration

HTML is data and presentation all in one. The idea with XML + XSLT is that the XML contains the raw, structured data, and one or more XSLTs define how to present it. It's similar to a modern web app talking to a REST API to get raw dat

James Cameron has done a huge number of truly amazing things, but he and Ed Harris both nearly drowned during filming of The Abyss. Hopefully he learned from his mistakes. [1] https://collider.com/james-cameron-the-abyss-mov

This is really neat, but it seems like the one supported mower isn't officially available in North America. Has anyone here made this project work with a mower that's easily available here?

This is true, but additionally, the HttpOnly flag is now mostly a relic, because so much web app logic runs in JS in the browser and makes API calls. That code generally needs access to tbe cookies, or something equivalent, like a bearer to

I did a custom combination of yellow outer field, blue inner circle, and got a vibrant purple halo, which is not what I expected. I assumed it would be "yellow++", based on what I know about the human eye's colour sensitivit

If you make the outer colour yellow using the custom colour option, and the inner circle red, do you see a an aurora-green halo? Or if you make the outer circle yellow and the inner circle green, do you see a red halo?

Peter Watts' Blindsight and Echopraxia are the 21st-century evolution of cyberpunk, IMO.[1] It's really too bad he seems to have decided not to continue writing in that fictional world. [1] They're almost literally Bruce Ster
