Unfortunately the lifetime of the plutonium RTG is very very predictable (due to the half life of the isotope they use). They are constantly shutting down parts of the probe exactly because the RTG is providing less and less power, and at s

For a more practical example, how does this work for the daughter of a colorblind person (the colorblindness gene is on the X chromosome)? Do they have four types of cones?

Yes, that's fair.

It's not a coincidence, it was called like that as a reference to facilitating distributed development.

Signed-off-by is a chain. The second person asserts that they delegate to the first person for the parts contributed by the first, and signs off on the ones that were contributed personally. Hypothetically in court you'd go to the last

Usually a global lock is a lock that is taken outside all others and is taken for large parts of the runtime (or even, everywhere the thread isn't waiting on a condition variable, file descriptor and the like). Mutex::new(AppConfig::de

You would have to know the position of the smaller copy in the uploaded image for the effect to work.

It's cited by 3b1b themselves, who used Leiden's un-spiralized image to describe the effect.

This certainly has been in the making for longer than the "everything we do must be for AI" bubble. In fact s390 has its own on-die inference engines and they have access to the same caching mechanisms as the main processor (which

It's about refining theoreticals models that are used to predict nucleosynthesis of heavier elements. The researchers used indium because we can obtain the required neutron-heavy isotopes for indium but not for heavier elements such as

Stackful coroutines also can't be used to "send" a coroutine to a worker thread, because the compiler might save the address of a thread local variable across the thread switch (happened in QEMU).

LoongArch is, on a first approximation, an almost RISC-V user space instruction set together with MIPS-like privileged instructions and registers.

Wow, with AVX512 too?? Now I really want to add it to QEMU. :) (For APX I have patches at https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20260301144218.458140-1-p... but I have never tested them on system emulation).

The article is about the Mondrian estate picking and choosing between the 95 year, life+70, and life+80 rules—and being wrong in all three cases. So I wasn't doing a legal analysis of which rule is the correct one, but rather observing

I read "The duration of the U.S. protection for all other works… was for 70 years from the artist’s date of death" and thought wow, did Mondrian really live into the 1960s or so? Next paragraph: "Mondrian died in 1944. Any of

A lot of the Persian diaspora is actually descendents of people who left in the 80s. There are certainly people who left 20 years ago or less but they're mostly secular as well.
