I’m doing a bit of BREP for GIS and even in 2D with line segments only the problem is really non-trivial, a lot of edge (pun intended) cases to take care of. Type system helps enormously, so probably rust will be a win here (I think I saw a

The beauty and power of the Noether Theorem is what pushed me to theoretical physics. I consider it one of mankind’s greatest achievement.

I have been using pixi for half a year and it has been fantastic. It’s fast, takes yml files as an input (which is super convenient) and super intuitive Quite surprised it isn’t more popular

For a global shutter sensor that big that seems kind of reasonable. Been buying smaller sensors, building multi camera machines, for researching projects and I like that thing. Open hardware, i wish I was doing cinema to buy that thing, gor

Oh you should go say that to farmers close to the equator whose crops are failing due to climate change. All that while fossil fuel companies receive 7000B$ of annual subsidies, and spend billions yearly to fuel disinformation.

“Magnets that accelerate particles”… the only particles that a magnetic field can accelerate are magnetic monopoles, and they are yet to be discovered. The lhc, as well as all accelerators, use electric field to accelerate particles. Suprac

At these local scales (and altitudes) it’s often called solar radiation management. The MEER is another example but for humans (with mirrors): https://www.meer.org/ As always these only buy a bit of time if not coupled with

It’s called geo engineering and problems would include: 1) ocean acidification 2) a sky white rather than blue 3) severely alerted rain patterns 4) a very sharp positive climate transient if for some reason you stop doing it 5) etc etc Also

There’s also active manipulation by fossil fuel companies, following the exact scheme as tobacco companies. They invest billions per year into this with great success: easily 40% of westerners are in some kind of denial compared to less th

You certainly want to stop cutting trees. I think it’s 10 million cut each days. Then invest time and money in ecosystem preservation and adaptation. Many scientific reports available, let you google that.

ICBM detection by radar and satellite is old technology, and an essential part of the MAD doctrine. You’re proposal would only make sense if all actors have access to their own. Also net incoming energy flux due to anthropogenic climate cha

i learned C, linear algebra and much more from working on the Q1 engine, by far the most influential piece of code for me! thx iD!

agreed! it's important to communicate, and studying distant worlds makes us human (but as a physicist im biased). maybe an international mission to mars could be useful. dunno.
