I remember going to a planetarium at the local university while in school some 15 years ago. They told us how they use Stellarium to create the skies and Celestia ( https://celesti…

I have also tried one and I had a similar experience but only in some scenarios. It might be a different effect to what you had but I’ll try to explain. In my experience I got a go…

They did, the README was updated 4 days ago with a banner explaining the situation.

Typically the AI to detect the AI is exactly what they use to train networks like Deep Fake in the first place. GANs are effectively just a local arms race between two machine lear…

I imagine all the necessary hands are already on deck for Crew Dragon. Starship wasn’t built by the Falcon or Crew Dragon manufacturing teams, and the vast majority of the design a…

It is certainly a little bold of Bridenstine to comment on other space companies being behind schedule given NASA’s own delays.

This is missing the particularly annoying 'halts for 5 seconds then catches up' option.

Not parent commenter but they may mean this: Bula (Fijian greeting) [1] The same article also mentions Aloha being trademarked followed by cease and desists being sent restaurants …

There are plenty of others but these are some that have stood out to me. SIGGRAPH has a VR Theatre where they show short VR films [1]. EyeJack is a platform for AR art, though you …

The renders aren't that bad, but that is a terrible choice for the cutout image given the lighting angle with thin shadows.

Good question, and you are probably correct, not worth the effort. There was one launch where they broadcast the drone ship landing from a nearby support ship (or helicopter, I don…

> Then the data was compiled and rendered into an image A digital camera is just an array of tiny sensors that detect how much light hit them and a computer takes those values and …

A fourth reason: Wouldn't a pilot rather spend some time to train for a new potential issue than not know what to do when that issue came up?

You can choose to publish open access conference papers through IEEE but you have to pay around $2000 (I forget if it was USD or AUD). I'm not sure about the exact costs for an ope…

Is the contract simply "selling Hololens to the military"? My understanding was that they already had contracts in place to sell them to the military for training purposes and have…

Also they will not involve humans because it removes their ability to blame the system. If a human employee fails to correctly flag something (which is likely given the sheer volum…

It's more difficult for law enforcement to prosecute illegal usage of social media than other 'utilities'. Given the international nature of most social media, illegal usage could …

We also learn far more from robot/probe missions per million dollars spent than manned missions. The Mars rovers have explored for years on end (albeit slowly) while a manned missi…

Safari, Chrome and Firefox all do not trust it on macOS as well.

Curiosity is doing well at about 6.5 years and had a 2 year mission but it probably won't stay fully operational that long. Its RTG could last that long but it will eventually stop…

I had the same question, I don't imagine it takes too many people to decide what it should do and give the robot commands while monitoring it.

It did have some interesting effects though. I know of several of my old school acquaintances who were very technologically challenged that managed to navigate their network settin…
