Are you kidding? An astrophysicist that could come up with a new model that explains the current data would win a Nobel prize and earth shattering levels of notoriety. The data found doesn't contradict the big bang in any shape or for

2 Settings I change on every htop which makes a HUGE difference. 1. I disable user threads. Those mostly just clutter up the htop view while providing no useful information. 2. I enable the process tree view. Very frequently, where a proc

You and the article are correct so I erased my comment. I found and read through some of the reports of the time to try and prove myself correct. I'm wrong. https://www.nal.usda.gov/exhibits/speccoll/exhibits

It'll depend on the area. From what I've seen, it appears that a lot of cities are eliminating utility poles and are burying all their lines (except for high voltage power). An urban buried line will be harder than a suburban or

by cogman10 4mo ago
Rural and suburban line burial isn't a hard problem to solve. It's easier to put in lines in rural and suburban locations than it is to put lines in urban areas. You don't have to, for example, shut down a road when putting

Density doesn't really make the sort of difference you might think. Every home in america has electricity and plumbing even though those utilities have the same density problem. Up until the rise of cell phones, every home had a telep

I believe these 2 are effectively linked. There's a jdk.internal API which will work as an escape hatch, but that does come with the need for non-compliant libraries to switch over to it. That safety hatch also only allows the setting

It won't bite initially, it will bite when you go to update your version of javac in the future and this becomes the default. Or when you update a library that just so happened to be compiled with a newer version of javac. This partic

This is a great change that will undoubtedly cause a lot of headaches. There's a number of libraries (particularly around serialization/marshaling) which will end up mutating `final` fields. In fact, this is a trick I've pul

With recent advances in both systemd and podman a lot of this is basically a non-issue. Documentation has also gotten better. For tools that require docker to work, like testcontainers and tilt, I've found some annoyances using podman,

The only people that really qualify for this is military service people. Everyone else could take weekly covid tests. The rule to require vaccines more generally was pretty quickly struck down. So you are right. I shouldn't have sai

It always is. Nobody was forced to take the vaccine and when these first rolled out there was a brochure of potential side effects.

Pretty common test as well, pull the plunger back on the syringe if blood comes up you hit a vein. A lot of drugs have this test, particularly drugs that should be injected in fat or muscle.

Sad, but hopefully this tragedy informs someone about rabies in bats. Bats are the number one carrier of rabies and their tiny bites are really easy to miss. If you touch a wild bat, you need to go to the hospital.

Piracy? Lol. Alibaba didn't steal Opus weights, they used opus output to train their model. If this is piracy, then so is reverse engineering efforts powering a bunch of Linux drivers.

Audio decode is extremely cheap. It's true that a hardware implementation will be more efficient, but really not a whole lot more.

Man what a showcase for Opus this is. Don't get me wrong, this sort of thing is a valuable exercise and we are better off with better encoders for these older codecs. But look at the numbers for Opus on this benchmark. It simply blow
