Is it me or is the map broken as it's blocked by OSM. I get tiles that say: Access blocked ..... osm.wiki/Blocked ?

Copying my comment from lobste.rs here: I don't think the performance issues here are a result of Django. The author says only 2-3 requests per second (rps). Even in debug mode jus…

Peer review is actually a surprisingly modern concept. It is not actually a fundamental tenant of science. The scientific method notably doesn't actually include peer review in it'…

[removed long ramble to choose a better example] Perhaps let's look at telegram. They have somewhere around 30-40 engineers, and handle most of the issues tackled in this post from…

Is this true? The best data I could find is that A100 costs are decreasing slightly, H100's have been holding steady and B-series have been increasing?

I frequently have to restart PyCharm every few days, as it slows so bad that it cannot scroll or type smoothly. This is on a very powerful macbook pro....

The last point is unfortunately very real in many scenarios in life. It's also the reason why successfully doing something that others can't leads to attacks, since they see your c…

Isn't this because thunderbird contributions are not ring-fenced but go to mozilla?

Some is quite the understatement haha!

Ooooh didn't know it had an update! Thanks for posting.

Given the large R (Even starlink satellites are far away compared to positional accuracy needed) and probably pretty large angular error, your still talking error of kilometres, th…

Not an expert but I imagine the problem with using vision is the problem of angular error propagation. That is the angle-> distance error problem: linear error≈Rtan(Δθ)≈RΔθ Here li…

This isn't exclusive to the Americans, do Rolls Royce in the UK not use similar methods?

It does and the key here is that adding the if is akin to avoiding a branch, since getting data then doing something with it is a hidden branch if you already have the data. All th…

That was my first reaction too. A perfect fit for a cover image of a story. Also generally when referencing something within an article you want to display a figure before talking …

They argue for both no? Increased armour for logistics, but also the notion that yes, if one good hit destroys your whole stockpile then you would need a 100% success rate defense …

For those like me who hadn't heard of this here is Apache's own product description for context: Apache Shiro™ is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs a…

I'd like to know what their config with pi is like. Is it vanilla, is it oh my pi etc.... This seems like important info.

I can't say I have a definitive answer, but there is a blog post from 2025 that seems to suggest they haven't yet: https://nosygamer.blogspot.com/2025/05/fanfest-2025-upgradin...

He has however written about the game before, and been interviewed about it: https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-...

Not really? The best heaters are heat pumps which can under typical operation reach 300-500% efficiency (COP). Technically they aren't converting the electricity into heat, but for…

This concept is missed so much in AI research and is quite frustrating.

Academic pay is standardised in many EU countries. For example in the UK you can look up union rates of pay. At UCL (I'm still currently affiliated as I finish my PhD) the pay for …
