And how about safety of life systems? They use computers in chemical plants and on planes, you know lol. Integer overflows have a body count!

Ok fine, but I bet you can't come up with a good gluten free banana bread recipe.

Isn't this basically how more modern "chatty" CLIs use stderr? Put all the nice progress bars and emojis behind `if isatty(2)`? I thought so anyway, but I'll admit I've never actua…

Man, that project is such bait for my particular sensibilities but just looking at the copy about not sharing your data and only sharing weights has me feeling very disappointed in…

To actually follow through with this fully they would have had to revoke all kinds of internal access for foreign nationals and demand they immediately return their hardware (at 5p…

It's true, but to be honest the MinGW-built stuff that ships with git for Windows has been enough since WSL took off.

VUE was so excellent looking it makes me want to run CDE today.

Earthquake early warning systems are a top 10 peak human achievement in my book. No joke, I tear up watching videos of Japan's EEW system alerting people of possible danger just in…

Your startup CEO acquaintance sounds like a real piece of work. Hope he rethinks such an unethical decision!

My understanding is that even that small amount is more than the Apollo crews had. It's all a bit of a marketing line anyway. We can see a good portion of the "far side" from Earth…

This article is plagued by several almost-truths, and gets a lot mixed up. The thing that is happening for the first time on this mission is humans personally observing much of the…

The cynic in me wants to say that most of the web these days is pushing H.264 frames from a CDN to proprietary phone apps and the rest is pushing Widevine video from the same CDN t…

Yes, while I was reading the article I couldn't help but think about notaries public. Seems like something like that would be government's go-to for this if they weren't quite so o…

Direct link to the NASA report: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/nasa-report-... Reading between the lines of the summary a bit, it sure sounds like NASA program lea…

It's inter-organizational disfunction. Always more plausible than any conspiracy. https://apnews.com/article/faa-el-paso-texas-air-space-close... Pentagon wanted to test the new la…

Somewhere, in the deepest bowels, Skype still lives. I'm sure of it.

The broadcast nature of it is something that I missed just last night. I was walking past several bars as the Seahawks won a big football game, but of course each spot was on a dif…

Yep, and I'll add: the first reader is the first maintainer. When that is turned over to an LLM agent the organization's leadership had better be prepared to entertain rewrites (re…

From what I've heard (FWIW), Airbus released a version of the software for one of the flight computers that removed SEU protections (hence grounding affected models until they coul…

G, the gravitational constant is (as far as we know) universal. I don't think this is what they meant, but the use of "across the universe" in the parent comment is confusing. g, t…

My first thought about that is you'd need a lot of satellites already nearly co-planar with the ICBM's inclination and there probably aren't enough Starlinks in any given inclinati…

Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!

AWS for sure (Elemental maybe?), but could also be Ring.

Indeed, the recent trend of the US government itself posting videos of the drone murders of Venezuelans stands in real stark contrast to how that was handled just 15 years ago.

In what way is dark matter not a phenomenon? Just because we don't know what it is doesn't make it a noumenon.
