I don't think there was flash involved in the shot, it says he held another phone on his left hand and used the light from the screen (not flash) as an indirect light source. The washed out look I think is from software averaging to co

This is on a handheld three second exposure in the dark. Not sure you would do much better with an SLR. I have on Olympus OMD EM5 with great OIS and that shot would be pretty challenging

Coincidentally I found my old minidisc player just last week while sorting my box of old gadgets. I brought it to the car since I have a bunch of mix discs that turned out to have aged well. Mine runs off of a single AA battery, and after a

Intel was not the first to NAND flash, but they pretty much started the SSD revolution with the first truly revolutionary SSD. I still remember Anand's review of the first X-25M (only 100GB) [0], immediately becoming the standard-beare

With 10C water you can only be down there for at most half an hour (especially not wearing a wet/dry suit), so he likely had time for his family and the other less fun parts of life. That said, I found it a bit surprising that in his s

They said that for 2-SAT problems, the new architecture (Pegasus) works better for hard problems, whereas for simpler problems the Chimera architecture is faster.

Beyond high temperature superconductors, p-wave superconductors would be a big deal. The article mentions that one could use them to build Majorana qubits (Microsoft has a significant effort in this direction). The cool thing about Majorana

Not quite a double blind RCT, but at least the data was masked from the statistician that performed the analysis (and some of the medical personnel). The population was not huge, but the results are indeed quite strong [1] [1] https:/

The road to the Mount Baker ski resort looks pretty similar often in winter. If I remember correctly they get around 20 meters of snow every (the list a world record of 29 meters of snow during 98-99)

Those crashes look about the same as what I've seen on catamarans (Nacra F18), or on single hull dinghies with trapezes, particularly when flying a spinnaker. That being said, not sure if adding the excitement of possibly capsizing har

That's for the whole of Mexico, so more than an order of magnitude off (120 million). Still an insane number of murders, what a tragedy.

To keep in perspective how much money we're talking here, Oracle disclosed during the 2017 lawsuit with Google that Android had generated 31 billion in revenue (22 billion profit) since its inception in 2007. Google asked the court to

I love this course. It has better production than other courses that I've taken and Pascal is super passionate and fun (dresses like Indiana Jones to make a point about knapsacks); much more engaging than Norvig. The course is hard tho

That is sort of the modus operandi for Muddy Waters, there are a few public cases like that. Given that parent talks about warehouses, it sounds to me more like the aluminum company China Zhongwang.

This is a pretty simplistic view, the article talks about a different Surgisphere study where the conclusion is that a cheap and widely available drug is effective against covid-19 (the study also has its problems though): "A third COV

Could you provide some details on the algorithm used to graph the plots? I'm pretty sure nothing in graphviz would result in such nice looking graphs, so probably not a spring relaxation-type algorithm. Perhaps something using the grap

Crap, and quite a few of those cases in Vancouver Island (lots of retired people, not a lot of hospital infrastructure). Announced only 1 hour ago it seems, and not yet in the Johns Hopkins tracker

It's more a QUBO solver (ala D-Wave) that can be efficiently parallelized on GPUs, they were able to "solve" a QUBO with 100K variables on 8 GPUs [1], where before people had solved at most problems with 10K variables. [1] h
