How much useful payload did the A5 deliver in those two flights?

Are there even any camera companies that even have ambitions of reaching a level like this?

If a mirrorless digital camera company ever made their software anywhere near as good as this, or if Apple ever brought their software expertise to a device with a full-frame format sensor and lens mount, they would absolutely dominate that

You may be thinking of OSIRIS-REx, the similar NASA mission which collected its samples a few weeks ago. That's still on its way home.

As someone who has never seen Sneakers, I would have loved a clip of the button press that spawned this journey. What did it sound like?

What do you suggest here? Git surgery to rebase through all 1700 commits looking for large files, or blowing away the repo and starting from scratch? Neither seems particularly appealing for the benefit of saving a few hundred megabytes of

Even after being edited, it's still wrong. It shows the significantly lower Inception4 performance as a "40% speedup" instead of 40% of baseline images/sec.

Not sure why Maps shows no disruption. It didn't work at all when I was driving home earlier.

The advantage of this approach is that it achieves an approximate result in a single sample. You might require dozens of samples to get a similar result using a multisampling technique like you describe.

This is a good question. With a public company it's easy to treat vested stock comp as cash. I would not expect newly issued grants to be included if they depend on continued employment.

Definitely. It's pretty much impossible to do parametric modelling at the moment, unless you're willing to resort to generating entire geometry from python.

I remember paying $10 to buy a mini-app that added what should have been native functionality to my Sony camera. Then a few months later a firmware update made it incompatible.

It absolutely is still relevant and important. This is a huge blow to ongoing radio astronomy.

I find the location history feature in Google Maps immensely valuable. Is there any way to run a similar self-hosted feature? I'd love to import my existing timeline if possible.

Here I thought you'd be doing photogrammetry or something to produce 3d maps directly from 2d imagery. Maybe title should be "making 3d maps with satellite imagery and 3d maps" ;)

Oh my god, I've been wanting this for literally 20 years.

I think it reflects how the evolution of the JS ecosystem strongly resembles natural evolution. This package is now a vestigial organ, but there was a time when it served a useful purpose. Other packages formed connective tissue to this pac

Sounds to me like an example where project implementers are unwilling to write it, not that the platform prevented them from doing so.

I've never seen a documentation effort fail for the choice of content authoring platform. Efforts fail because: - project leaders do not prioritize it - project implementers are unwilling to write it - documentation authors are unable

Methane-oxygen propellant can be near carbon-neutral when using huge solar farms to produce it from CO2 and water in the surrounding air. No net increase in greenhouse gasses. However, the ingredients of this process would be redistributed

I had deactivated my account about a year ago. I tried logging in to view this page, and it reactivated everything immediately. Also, it has clearly been linking a vast quantity of off-facebook activity despite my account being deactivated.

Many university-grade cubesats use tape measure antennas today. They can be easily stored during launch by wrapping them around the satellite body, secured with nylon fishing wire and then released by burning through the nylon with a NiChro

This is 45 image segments encoded into a single 8k signal. I have a smaller one, and it's amazing, but its 4k image input results in approximately 800x600 equivalent for each rendered angle.
