I think this is almost spot on. There is also people with just toxic personalities that everybody tries to avoid. In Europe unfortunately, is not easy to get rid of such characters and they often victimize teams and jeopardize entire projec

It looks to me like an alien smiley :) of course aliens have only one eye.

What is happening with QC is very sad. Research on this topic should be a long term scientific endeavor, like nuclear fusion has been for many years. Not the circus it has been so far.

The fact the department had to be dismantled to solve the issue indicates the bad actors had effectively taken over. This is clearly a failure of leadership that dragged for way too long. Those kind of personalities need to be punished earl

From my point of view YouTube with Adds is unbearable. And I don't feel the subscription service is offering as much value as any other streaming platform. If it was a bit cheaper I would may be consider it, but for my specific use cas

MSX was a Japanese home computer standard indeed, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, who provided the BASIC ROM implementation. It became very popular in Japan and in a number of European and South American countries. I wasn’t awar

The github project indicates "DeviceScript brings a professional TypeScript developer experience to low-resource microcontroller-based devices." If you tell me is a toy, and somebody's pet project: fine. Is all about having f

Is really hard for me to understand how running an VM on a resource constrained device has any benefit. There is a reason why those devices run using very lightweight "OS"s like FreeRTOS and Embedded C. Why the constant obsession

They are a body shop. Subcontracting any crap permanent employees won't want to do. That's why they have so many employees, that's literally their "stock".

I think indeed one of the starting points was UZI, it is mentioned somewhere in the readme or license files.

The speed of light is the frame of reference. It remains constant for any observer no matter at which speed is moving.

It depends on the mass of the ship, but yes; quite a bit. https://www.quora.com/How-much-energy-does-it-take-to-accele... I don't think that means is unfeasible if the energy source allows for that.

Yeah well, we don't really know what happens at high speeds. Probably biochemistry stops working at 0.3c? It doesn't seem structural materials would remain solid at 0.95c... who knows.

With a spacecraft big enough to live in, we are talking of a time frame not too different from the one from the age of exploration by sea. I have no doubt many people would want to take such a trip even if it takes 10 years to get back to e

Definitely a common sense step in the right direction. Humans going anywhere beyond the moon using chemical propulsion seems quite problematic due to all the unsolved issues related to radiation and micro-gravity. Now talking speculative fi

I guess this is bad news for the AR market. Apple delaying entry means technology is not mature enough for a quality consumer product that can go into the mainstream and indicate the category will remain niche for a few more years.

Seriously? It looks to me that guy is perfectly aware is talking bullshit. And disparaging archaeologists is part of the publicity game. He is just an entertainer trying to make money. Why would any scientist have to descend into the mud to

The problem with Graham Hancock is that he pretends to be scientific while disparaging the actual scientists. If he wants to write science fiction, great; is entertaining. But pretending to pass fantasy as science in the way he does is not

I know about this project for long time and in my opinion is an excellent educational resource. As an exercise I re-targeted chibicc to z80 without any problem and it was lots of fun. Now I am trying to write an optimizer on top of it.

I have the feeling is in midlife when people switch careers, so 43 doesn't sound strange to me. You have to be ready to take an income cut though, at least at first. Other than that, I don't think you should be afraid. That 10k ho

I believe Rust will benefit from the reality check that kernel development represents. Kernel development is hard, and bullshit doesn't go very far in that context. Success for Rust in that environment (with some changes along the way)

For some time already we are in an "epicyclean phase" of physics, trapped by the extraordinary predictive success of Quantum Electrodynamics and still using mathematical methods devised in the 19th century (variational calculus).

Also my favorite history podcast, the video versions are also really good. Very high production quality, and a riveting narration that provides a broader historical context while giving details about the life of the individuals at the time.

This appears to be an indication of a new phenomenon correlated to criticality in cortical electrodynamics, that also correlates to consciousness as we understand it. It looks to me is a huge step, because even the result is so far empirica

Finally Boston Dynamics is releasing a robot that looks like a regular industrial robot. It seems the pressure to generate sales is forcing them to produce more down to earth products that can be marketed easily.
