There is no camera. It is just a diffusion model trained on a big set that tries to reconstruct the picture. Essentially this is not much different from what Samsung did with their AI-enhanced camera that detected a moon and replaced that w

A big problem of the modern cosmology is not only that we have observations that do not fit models but that we do not know if the observed discrepancies are the real problems with the models or are artifacts of calculations. For example, to

Electrical with range of 1000km and fast charging gives an option that is not presently covered. There are people in Norway who still do not consider electrical cars because they want to have an option to drive 500 km over mountains in one

In Norway in mountains charging stations are often literally in the middle of nowhere with their placement dictated by availability of high-voltage power lines. They are fully automated with just few charging boxes and nothing else. Althoug

Order of magnitude is sufficient to remove reliance on GPS in a lot of military applications. The Russian aggression in Ukraine has shown that a lot of Western precision weapons were rendered ineffective due to GPS jamming.

There are reports that drone loss for Ukraine is like 3-5 drones per a successful attack. There are also reports that Ukraine carries like 4000 daily drone flights. It is not clear how may of those are for observations and how many are for

It appeared Russia cannot sustain the losses long term. The sign-up bonus for volunteers during the last year increased by factor of 10 from 2k USD to over 20K. Plus Russia has severe deficit of working force for anything that required non-

Russia gains more population from occupying the remaining parts of Donbas than they lost from the whole war. As for the resources they now confirmed that the world would continue to buy the oil from them for the next 10 years no matter what

The models do not account for attack drones which kills most Russian soldiers these days. They also do not account that due to observation drone presence attacking leads to greater losses.

Access cards for satellite TV or SIM cards are great examples of reasonably secure systems. Surely probably for 1M$ one can hack single card, but it will be wildly unprofitable. Which demonstrates that with the right insensitive industry ca

Evolution can trivially happen within one generation. Just consider lactose tolerance. If it happens that the only source of food is milk for a substantial period, then anybody with lactose intolerance dies and the relevant genes can go fro

We are perfectly capable of producing reasonably secure systems, but the present situation made that not cost-effective. It is strictly cheaper to apply security as an after-thought or even ignore the issue completely and just pay off the p

Go is not memory safe even when the code has none of unsafe blocks, although through a typical usage and sufficient testing memory safety bugs are avoided. If one needs truly memory-safe language, then use Rust, Java, C# etc.

For me the biggest source of noise in logs for a small site is the referrer spam. At some point like 12 years ago I enabled webalizer stats with a public link to the stats page. Soon I had to deal with massive amount of bot requests with h

In Norway jet fuel costs like 3 times less than gasoline due to absence of taxes. For these reason some amateur flight school use small planes with jet engines, like DA40NG, to get much lower operational costs. It can be even cheaper to fly

Channels in Go lack priority support which made them unusable to express some patterns. Fortunately one can code a replacement for channels in Go using mutexes and semaphores. And that exercise in turn allows one to see that in many cases t

While it does not actively cool your body, it transfers the heat to any surface that absorbs MIR. So in a crowded space the wearer will indeed dump the heat on other people.
