I don’t know why this title made me think of it, but the muzzle velocity of a typical apfsds round is similar to the orbital velocity of the moon. With no atmosphere to inhibit travel you could shoot at adversaries from just about anywhere

I posted the same 'Zero-Shot Chain-of-Thought and Image' to ChatGPT-4o and it made the same error. I then followed up with 'Your math is good but you derived incorrect data from the image. Can you take another look and see i

Oh nice!!! I looked at a couple sky surveys in different, and it was nowhere to be found in their data, that’s so cool!

I still don’t understand how objects in space of that angular diameter are still being discovered. I would have to imagine lots of people have seen it, but just never chose to document or catalog it?

This page has been around for a while. If you watch the YouTube video, you can see the skin on the person’s finger get burnt as they touch the little tiny plasma balls. https://youtu.be/AoWi10YVmfE?si=1zzwNba9A1l9Y2ld

Anyone who has used elevenlabs for voice generation has found this to be the case. Voice to voice seems like magic.

Isn’t that basically true of most of the fundamental laws of physics? There’s a lot we don’t understand about gravity, space, time, energy, etc., and yet we compose our observations of how they behave into very useful tools.

This article is like going to the principals office and telling them that Barb the lunch lady dropped an extra tater tot on your tray and didn’t remove it. Geofencing is a dark pattern. It’s obviously possible, it just adds cost and comple

I built an automated apparatus to convert water, yeast and starch into sanitizer in April/May of 2020. I used ESP32s for individual sensing components (mostly temperature at various parts of the process but also a load cell for weight)

It is when you sit and think about it of course. Our family has always had very dark humor and our daughter started her nursing career a year after her mom passed. No examples needed lol. The challenge is maintaining that empathy in the f

It's pretty remarkable how effective fuzzing is despite the layers upon layers of optimizations/assumptions that it requires in order to be feasible at all (eg max_len = 10000). I haven't tinkered with fuzzing since afl was
