The video, apart from the apparent loss of situation awareness by the following pilot, seems to show the leader making an aggressive left turn basically into the path of the other aircraft. I'm four hundred miles or so from the locatio

Perhaps the internet price excludes the EW payload? Seems like a plane with a load of electronics gear and transmitters/antennas would cost more than the same plane sans that stuff?

The aircraft appear to have become "stuck" to each other perhaps due to aerodynamic forces similar to how a piece of paper gets stuck to a car windshield (probably something to do with one of the Bernoullis). There wasn't mu

Ejection is often a career-ending event, unfortunately. Better than dying though.

I'm not sure on the history of why there's a Growler display team, but they regularly perform at air shows, even air shows where the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds are also performing. Their display isn't formation aerobatics, m

Perhaps worth noting (this wasn't obvious to me from the web site but is revealed when you go to the GitHub project) that this is from Vercel. I agree that the expected use case could do with some fleshing out. For instance it isn&#x27

My own interest in LLMs increased exponentially when, around 18 months ago, I saw a post somewhere that had a guy who wrote his own inference engine in Rust and demonstrated it running with downloaded open weight models. I tried it out and

Another way to look at this is that Microsoft, Google, Apple, et al are in the business of providing products and services to regular people, for a low cost. This means they end up providing ways to escrow keys, recover locked accounts and

I've heard this before, so what I think it means is this: If you want to encrypt some data that gets stored persistently somewhere on your machine, rather than invent an application-specific encryption scheme for that data alone, inste

The original paper and referencing article are paywalled so I'm not sure if this is mentioned there, but the answer to the question "why did they use XXX for arrow points?" is surely answered by putting yourself in the positi

Orkney is only 20 miles from the UK mainland so I'm not sure that's the reason. People there make fudge which is pretty good. Until recently (1956) it hosted a major Royal Navy base.

Same here. Works every time. Never ran into usage limits either.

Go doesn't support runtime linking, which is why "no plugins" (even though Go docs claim it does, no it doesn't).

Use gitea which has github actions compatibility.

Wasn't gitea a fork of forgejo?

They really mean the same. What changed was the meaning of the word "proves" in English. When the saying was coined it meant "tests", not "confirms". People kept saying the...saying even though they were using

Apologies if this is a dumb question but how does this attack work? (I know what an orphaned commit is but not how you use one to bypass project access control).

It's almost as if management was a useful function in organizations ;)

I think it's more the cost to find a vulnerability that has significantly reduced, not the possibility that the vulnerability could have been found. But that cost mattered tremendously because someone has to fund the effort to find the

Attacker might have MITMed the console.

I think the idea is the attacker didn't compromise both the local machine and the remote log sink machine. If you want to get really fancy the techniques used in cert revocation logs/blockchains could be used.

Almost full-circle back to when Oracle took over the entire volume and implemented its own filesystem.

You don't need NAT traversal when talking to a cloud service.

JS is used because it's (still) the only code you can run in a browser. Although node and bun are regular OS processes, their use/popularity traces back to that browser environment one way or another.
