I was too busy waxing my armchair and didn't do any reading on the actual practices. Thank you for replying with this. It makes sense. I wonder if this level of purity will survive…

I am assuming that many of these are found with automatic analysis tools that are very creative (i.e. LLMs) and there may be a high proportion of very "cornered" cases. I think the…

I think it depends on how good is "good enough". Personally, I think as long as tasks are not coding, there would be a ton of "good enough" value in having your own personal Google…

Thank you for sharing this!

Didn't know about sunshine request - the website[1] - until I searched for this term! [1]: https://www.sunshinerequest.com/

"I'll spare you the total sample prep details"...

I am so glad to hear this. Thank you for your work in support of land conservation!

I have been on the board of directors of a land trust, and this situation is a poster-child for why an existent concern must retain standing to litigate. A lot of what the Land Tru…

You could consider similar devices and what they have used. Another angle is to look at ULPMark results: https://www.eembc.org/ulpmark/

The S3 (and other Espressif chips) are pretty power-hungry. May want to keep looking for a smartwatch application.

I love the symbol name: "AnalyticsMetadata_I_VERIFIED_THIS_IS_NOT_CODE_OR_FILEPATHS`.

It's the butterfly effect. After the momentum exchange (the rocket slamming, stuff being ejected in the impact, etc), the entire system was left with different properties. From now…

So many new features! The little things like 45 degree crosshairs, dynamic animation of overlapping lines, indication when bumping up against a selection filter - truly great polis…

This is going to get crazy as soon as companies start to assert their control over open source code bases (rather than merely proprietary code bases) to attempt to overturn policie…

Don't forget about ELI the ICE man!

The physics of magnetic torquing maybe could probably work in most if not all locations on Earth for a sufficiently small and power dense vertical top that spins sufficiently slow.…

I'd love to read this paper! This was on my mind when I was GNC lead for an undergraduate project at Michigan Tech (Oculus-ASR - Nanosat-6 winner). We had a combined controller for…

PDFs are just a table of objects and tree of references to those objects; probably, prior versions of the document were expressed in objects with no references or something like th…

There needs to be better tooling for inspecting PDF documents. Right now, my needs are met by using `qpdf` to export QDF [1], but it is just begging for a GUI to wrap around it... …

If you are talking about having the copyrighted source code not be used to train an AI, you could look at the discussions surrounding a recent license change in the Reticulum proje…

This reminds me of the following, a story from my personal life. My wife and I both ski, and early in our relationship one of us told the other about the coolest poster ever about …

Such a great resource!

Years ago, this very subject was an interview question at a national lab (at an undergrad level). The question was roughly: > the ends of windmill blades look a lot like a jet on r…
