There was a letter circulating around on X recently, showing that the FAA asked the Fish and Wildlife Service to do their thing faster. Assuming that was real, things got moving after the pressure from Congress.

The point is that it goes equally for everyone. No one gets to choose the circumstances they're born into.

While it's good to have an understanding of which things the date does and does not matter for, when it comes to judging these things, I prefer to lean towards caution. It isn't worth getting sick over a little food.

Yep, those kinds of teams are the most fun to be in.

Even as an Indian, I don't know how that could be tackled, it seems to be kind of systemic. I'd always been around people from all sorts of places, and many of the schools I went to would intentionally keep kids of similar origins

>AFAIK synchrotron light sources are tools for materials science and other applied fields, not high energy physics. Did I miss something? When you put it like that, yeah, I was kinda being stupid. During my stint doing research at a sync

A post from yesterday, complaining about Musk not receiving a prize despite (according to the author of that post) deserving it, has had me thinking about that too. Folks like Bell, Musk, Bezos etc are in many ways similar to Alfred Nobel,

I think saying they're not looking good might be a bit of an exaggeration. Technological developments in both high energy physics and astrophysics stuff are in-between generations of technology right now, which is why things are a bit

That's what they're claiming, but unless I'm blind, none of the fields in their screenshot are the GPS coordinates.

In my testing, that often causes the model to 'drift' and ramble wildly compared to just getting one long output from the very start. The issue is probably that when you split it by just asking for the next section, you're as

Hmm? Starlink has had sat-to-sat active for a while now. They've been making a killing selling services to ships and planes lately.

I'm reminded of a documentary I saw a few years ago, where they discussed ways our modern cities are already starting to affect the evolution of animals that live in them. One example was of a species of birds in a specific area starti

Is the location they're referring to supposed to be just the country code field in that screenshot?

The nobel prizes tend to focus on scientific discoveries, often primarily from smaller groups, not engineering or entrepreneurial success. SpaceX or Musk just don't really fit into the cateogires that well, and the committee is probabl

Starlink is supposedly harder to jam than typical satellite comms due to its use of phased array communication. IIRC you need to either be flying overhead or putting out a ton more power in a ground based jammer to be effective. And as the

As far as I'm aware, the V2 minis are different from the DTC sats. V2 mini just has expanded network bandwidth. DTC are a specific variant of the V2 mini with the hardware needed for DTC. Not all V2 launches, even now, are DTC variants

It also hasn't been enabled everywhere yet because the associated constellation is not complete yet. Current service is probably going to be intermittent. Basically, it's just better than nothing when in an emergency like this.

I tend to not really notice whtever slight cleanliness/communication improvement any of these changes add (this is probably just a me thing). So, putting politics aside, I don't really care as long as it isn't breaking existi

Yes, a lot of dumb little "American political brainrot" like that has been getting pushed in places. Another example is GitHub changing the default branch name from master to main due to their perception that the existence of a ma

There are endless numbers of cases where you can still end up having to just resort to print debugging, even in C#. Race conditions are a great example.

The interesting thing is that an FCC commissioner has also been constantly commenting on how nonsensical that decision was. I don't really know enough about the decision to decide either way, but it does seem dumb to me that the other

Strange, everything I've heard about the setup says that they do provide a captive portal for doing the initial setup stuff that needs a network connection.

There were just a few hours between Elon accepting to do it on X, and the update being deployed, I think they can be forgiven for not having it super polished. However, they've also explained that it's 30 days for now, as the end

My intent wasn't to say that Gandhi and satyagraha had no contribution, and I agree that there are better ways to protest than harassing people trying to survive and throwing beans on paintings. I just wanted to emphasize that part of

by dotnet00 2y ago
Invoking Gandhi's satyagrahas should always come with all the caveats that made the movement successful. It wasn't merely the act of peaceful protest that won India's independence, but the fact that it happened in the backdro

So, a large chunk of the benefits are more in the form of 'side-effects' rather than directly fueled by particle physics discoveries. This is kind of by definition, since the point of particle accelerators as powerful as the LHC i

Commercial Low-Earth Orbit space stations are in the early development stages, the arm could be repurposed for one of those if Gateway gets cancelled.
