Well, then good news! It's a suppository!

This is not actually missing from the models. See for instance https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-021-01598-4

I'm Swedish, not Norwegian, but I can understand not making the connection between "Kjølen" and "Kjolen" because both of those are words and have completely different meaning, and as you say 'ø' is quite d

by gliptic 5y ago
They probably mean Kjølen? Kjolen could be an appropriate name for a mountain though, shape-wise :).

Those in the know suspect these are just the upper stages of Iskanders launched from jets.

The light from them was still hitting the Earth constantly and would entangle quickly with everything on Earth.

But that means almost nobody on HN can possibly hold SpaceX stock.

The synopsis on the site suggests the same size as the disk. But I guess it doesn't say it scales the same as with mirror size. > can be used to achieve the diffraction limit based on the size of the low cost disk, rather than the h

That's not quite right. 1 meter at 400 km distance is ~0.51 arcseconds, which is on the edge of doable with good seeing. 0.01 arcseconds would never be possible within the atmosphere.

Many undersample on purpose and get better results that way. You can workaround seeing a little with lucky imaging and patience, being very selective. Also, drizzling was developed originally for the Hubble Deep Field, which isn't limi

I'm not sure what you mean. Mechanical shutters have no upsides I'm aware of :). Astro cameras use electronic shutters. EDIT: The dithering, or offsetting, is done by moving the telescope slightly between exposures. During exposur

This is called drizzle (with dithering, e.g. the raw photos are taken with offsets) in the astrophotography sphere and is very effective when the images are undersampled. Although, astronomy images have the advantage of being filled with st

> Whereupon a human audience isn't actually watching them in real time anyway. Uhm, yes they are. TCEC can't afford to run more games in parallel. And if they did, they'd use all that processing power to run one game inste

The angular separation would be only 0.00013 arcseconds, so very impressive indeed. Hubble has an angular resolution of around 0.05 arcseconds in comparison. Radio telescopes can get better angular resolution than that using interferometry
165.
by gliptic 5y ago
Hubble is 2.4 meter aperture.

So they would propose dark matter+MOND? I will just throw out MOND then because it's superfluous.

They have to wait for the instruments to cool down some more first. Data is expected in 5-6 months.

The main page works, but did you try the examples?

by gliptic 5y ago
I get the same on Windows, FF 91.

The console says "no camera is set".

For humans it might occasionally throw off your opponent psychologically, but it rarely actually works. Computers will, however, always find a refutation very, very quickly and then you're just in a worse position.

PEG doesn't have that problem.
173.
by gliptic 5y ago
Or you could write it as a PEG (or indeed parser combinators) that would be even easier to read. I don't buy that verbosity on its own makes something readable and maintainable.
174.
by gliptic 5y ago
Compared to writing the parsing in procedural code? Yes. e.g.: a(b|c)d vs something like: return str.StartsWith("a") && str.EndsWith("d") && str.Length == 3 && (str[1] == "b"

Yes, but we're talking origin of life.
176.
by gliptic 5y ago
Sure, my point was only that if the lower bound on the subset is higher than anyone expected, that will increase the probability of them all being true compared to your prior belief. And it will also increase the probability that life is mo

If you never learn where a few molecules came from, how could you possibly make progress on the problem?

by gliptic 5y ago
It does however tell us that the "easy" steps are easy, which was never a foregone conclusion. The other steps will remain what they are. It doesn't mean the trend will continue. I find it weird to use a deliberately rigged g

Learning how writing was invented is certainly a step towards understanding the origin of novels.

by gliptic 5y ago
But selection can happen with autocatalysts as well. I agree that you can't say life /has/ to exist elsewhere, but I think the trend in research has shown that life seems likelier and likelier to arise the more it is studied.
