Is it really available in practice ? Eg. do major distros even compile ffmpeg with these obscure codecs or you need to recompile it yourself to get it ?

It is a missed opportunity really - they had an exit and and infinite space station. Imagine the economic possibilities - asteroid mining is for loosers, chair mining and bulkhead disassembly is what it is at! Not to mention endless free

Any permanent lunar outpost (with maybe the exception of some of the coastal ones) needs to be fully self sufficient during the winter, that is nothing new. No one is going to go rescue you tracking or flying thousands of kilometers in tota

With cost of launch to space finally coming down thanks to SpaceX & reusable rockets in general I would imagine this is how things will go much more often in the future. Not only mass production but possibly cheaper materials, more in-s

So far it looks like just their previously legit Fedora account got taken over & the other accounts (GitHub) then generated on demand as needed for whatever it was trying to achieve, right ? BTW, any idea what are the current requiremen

Yeah, gated communities like that are usually a clear sign that something bad is happening with the given society - or in a minor cases with the community, if it needs to gate itself from a society that is not failing.

Yeah, I am quite surprised this is not discussed more often - for remote cloud based AI not only does the provider see everything you provide to the tool/agent, there is no guarantee they can't manipulate the output at any time fo

So next the attacker puts prompt injection in their PRs & take control of the agent on your end. Perfect, 10 out of 10.

Not to mention people who are still on the other side nominally in control but send LLM generated patches without declaring them as such. Then you basically need to review any review from people that might be long term contributors but you

In this case the nathan-bot was also still on a plausible side - all the PRs looked kinda trivial & there were not outright rejections that would be a red flag for a maintainer checking the GitHub account activity during PR review. Muck

On some of those PRs the AI agent (?) did not really pressure - it reacted promptly with changes and more plausible (hallucinated ?) technobabble why the PR is needed. It can be quite hard to discern this behavior from a new contributor to

Yes, please, do it, slash the prices, ideally to zero, immediately! That way you will loose money even faster and we can finally get ridd of this nonsense even sooner.

Yeah, there is at least one case where they (critically ?) damaged a Kilo class submarine using an underwater drone last year: https://en.defence-ua.com/news/why_damaged_russian_kilo_clas...

Once a civilization reaches a certain tech level, it can do interstellar travel & by the time you find about it due to light speed delay, it might be far too late to strike - not to mention what size & tech level they might be by th

Yeah, Deep Ones just can't stop chewing on things. :P

Terminal homing phase sub-torpedo drone swarm use case for this ? ;-)

This is actually quite a significant technical achievement - for example, a similar project in Japan failed. Japanese Railways wanted to build a train that can run at full speed (~300 km/h) on the standard gauge (1435 mm) regular Shink

One general side effect is harder access to affected regions - with less people to serve public transport gets reduced or even abandoned entirely (affect rail lines the most, due to the necessary maintenance needed for safe operation). IIRC

You can actually see it if you know where to look - edges of big cities but it is most visible in the countryside and smaller towns. And if you want to see how real Armageddon looks like, go visit Yubari: https://en.wikipedia.org

They killed 2 Czech citizens and caused massive damage and remediation costs by sabotaging an ammo depot in the Czech Republic already in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Vrb%C4%9Btice_ammunition_... Many more

Migh as well just write the thing out yourself - you will learn something by doin that and it will be easier next time. :)

Space solar power makes perfect sense once you have sufficient in-space industrial infrastructure available, so that all the actually heavy stuff (structural materials, solar panels, antennas) stuff is manufactured from local (Moon, asteroi

There is about 3 chinese orbitallaunchers with some reusability support flying & about as much scheduled to debut this year. But other than that, yeah - outside of China, progress has been horrendously slow & Blue Origin, the only o

That usually has a separate maintainer checking things, not updating automatically and often being the author of those packaging scripts, as they are often distro specific.

Won't pinning a version lead to dependency hell, not to mention potentially using vulnerable versions if you don't a new version after it has some CVE fixes ?

If DNF/RPM is used there will often be a separate distro maintainer that should ideally review any changes coming from the upstream before pulling them into the distribution. Also not all maintainers always pull in the latest upstream

You might be confusing cryogenic with subcooling - it is still cryogenic (or it would not fit into the tanks at any reasonable pressure), just colder and more dense (you can fit it a bit more than if its at a higher, still cryogenic tempera

It is also more realistic to do it fully loaded - very different forces are acting on a rocket based on how much propellant is loaded.

by m4rtink 5mo ago
I'm wondering about how it compares to AMOS-6. New glen is bigger than Falcon 9 & uses fully cryogenic propellant, so there would be definitively more energy involved. On the other hand a lot of the damage on the Falcon pad was IIR
