Just to add to the anecdotes: I'm in my late 40s. I grew up on an island in Washington state. Truly commercial-grade fireworks (the kind that professionals would launch for an audi…

That's surprisingly inexpensive for 256 GiB of VRAM, but how much power would it take to run it? Is it even feasible with residential circuits?

Is the job submission handled securely? I've seen plenty of systems along the lines of what you're describing where unauthenticated clients can submit jobs. Sometimes the developer…

AFAIK TIFF supports an arbitrary number of additional channels already.

If you haven't already, you should do some tests to see if you can see UV-A now. Some replacement lenses are UV-transparent. Dandelions in sunlight are an easy option, at least in …

When I was very young (around 3 or 4) I woke up in the middle of the night and went downstairs to climb into my parents' bed. After some time, I could see a small-scale but very ex…

Seems like the quick fix is to rebrand this from "MANPADS" to "anti-tank", right? Then it would just be a standard destructive device?

If I ever have a house built to my own specs, I want to get the best of both worlds by using drywall, but with most/all of the interior walls being maintenance corridors accessible…

Looks like it's improved even further - I'm seeing that model listed with 512x384 resolution, and it's $300 on Amazon. Pretty incredible! I felt like I was getting an amazing deal …

They weren't that high frequency. I could hear computer monitors into my twenties at least. I'd guess somewhere around 20 - 22 kHz. CRTs were largely replaced by LCDs by my late 20…

This was my first thought as well. I've always been fascinated by written accounts of DMT triggering such oddly specific effects for users.

I find it very useful for wildlife photos. Autofocus never seems to work well for me on e.g. birds in flight. It's also possible to generate a depth map from a single shot, to use …
