Nope. It would suggest that new viruses could not spontaneously appear from abiotic matter, because they'd be outcompeted by existing viruses. Which may well be true. We don't know…

This is concerning to hear. What do Protobufs accomplish, that requires them to be a constantly moving target?

Would capabilities enable granting access to specific programs and not just users? Like using AppArmor profiles. So QEMU, gVisor, Docker etc. can still use KVM for unprivileged use…

Because if /dev/kvm isn't accessible to unprivileged users, then people will start using `sudo` to run anything involving virtualization, which would be much worse for security ove…

If you monitored all the inputs simultaneously instead of switching, you could make a low-tech radio-wavelength camera. Presumably with less SNR per "pixel" than you'd get from mon…

It does do directional steering. No active array components or physical movement are needed. > If the output ports are connected to individual antennas in an antenna array, this al…

Plus heat dissipation is a limiting factor, which scales with area.

Looks like the rendering functions used in the demo are doing antialiasing without font hinting?

Additionally the developer of this library is active in the indie game scene, so "twelfth member of the team" is hardly a relevant issue. I find it so unfortunate how many of the c…

The whole thing's less than 2kLoCs. If it needs ongoing maintenance, something's gone wrong IMO. I think it's reasonable to just patch it yourself if it doesn't work with your othe…

PNG compression is just DEFLATE. For archival storage, I've been expanding PNGs with `precomp` [0] and then running modern compression algorithms on them. [0] https://github.com/sc…

They're basically light fields, so even though they don't represent any geometry, you could easily integrate them into the rendering pipeline at the path tracing/rasterization stag…

Since splats sample the light field after surface reflection, you can't do realtime shading with splats the way you can with raytracing and rasterization. I guess it could be anima…

With the obvious caveat that low-level game engine, image/video processing, numerical code etc. isn't really viable in Python. But outside of that, it's fast enough for gluing toge…

Generally you choose Python for the conciseness you mentioned, and then move the performance-critical functions into another language like C or (I find to be easiest) Cython. Ideal…

I have no idea if this is true, but I remember seeing in a Kurzgesagt video that developing phage resistance reduces antibiotic resistance, and vice versa. So you might corner bact…

They've been constantly trying to set up P2P solutions. Torrents, DWEB, IPFS, Filecoin, WebTorrent, YJS, whole bunch of tech acronyms. I'm not sure much of it has really caught on?…
