They’re studying different wavelengths, they’re planned to compliment each other, jwst isn’t operational yet, and this article is almost certainly based on observations from before jwst even launched. What are you talking about.

Couldn't find much info on the process size in the Reuters article, but the Intel press release[0] says this: " “The Ohio factories are designed for the ‘Angstrom era,’ with support for Intel’s most advanced process technologies,

I don't know about other cities, but in Halifax the new architecture is pleasant, to my eyes at least. A lot of the properties have a mix of brick and glass which isn't too showy but still looks distinctive when compared with the

I had the same thought after the phosphine gas discovery at Venus was announced. It will take so long to be certain about a claim like this, and evidence will mount so gradually, that by the time the confirmation is made it will be unsurpri

For future reference, this[0] is a good get-started guide to getting a signal from the microphone, outputting a signal to the speaker, and some basic signal display / waveform generation. For my own use (on windows 10), I used the foll

Is it possible to use a laptop's built-in wifi antenna / wifi card as the hardware side of a gnu radio setup? That seems like it would be a nice cheap one-two punch for getting started. AFAIR wifi uses the public (unregulated) ban

You can imagine generating an encrypted file 10^3 or 10^6 times larger than the data to be encrypted, with a pointer at the beginning giving the location of the start of the payload. The rest of the file could be encrypted randomness. Trans

Thanks for saying this. Any rapprochement must focus on the relative moderates on either side of the spectrum. Trying to bring together people more than one or two standard deviations from the mean is likely impossible and also likely unnec

Agreed, the robots fighting each other aspect was interesting, I perked up at that. In retrospect, it's a sensible prediction of how artificial consciousnesses would behave given resource constraints. It's a question that's i

I like this take. I actually really enjoyed the first ~half of the movie, even laughed out loud a couple of times (esp the 'warner bros will make the game with or without us so we'd better just take on the job'). The second h

It all sounds so depressing and off the rails. Armed checkpoints, swastikas, outlandish beliefs. You hear about '2 americas' and see that people voted for trump, but hearing details like this makes the divide seem much starker.

There's also the whole field of radio signal propagation, the cellular industry regularly uses essentially the same type of product to model shading of cell tower signals.

Are there current plans for a lidar derived surface elevation tile from mapbox? Even the USGS 3DEP program only offers preprocessed DEMs (that is, DTMs). I can see generating that sort of thing at ~5-10m resolution on a global scale from sa

Mondo cool. I love looking zoomed out at the terminator shadow, it's presumably what a person on the moon would see if they looked at the earth through a telescope. The time-slider is responsive on my ~7yr old laptop, even at the world

Serious question, if the sun shield does fail for some reason, would the telescope still operate but just at reduced sensitivity? Asking to the infrared astronomers out there…

Well, at some point in the past Denmark was changeable and was changed, so there is no reason to think that at present other places are changeable and will be changed in a similar way. Merry grav-mass!

The CSA is contributing staff to operations as well, afaik. A more recent source says this (found through wikipedia). Values all appear to be up to launch, and do not include operations. NASA: 8,800m ESA : 850m CSA : 200m ----

Yet the estimate of when you'll become fully sympathetic to the Windows file copy dialog changes wildly by the day, right :)
