> The team demonstrated that this intensity interferometer can image millimeter-wide letters at a distance of 1.36 km

1mm at 1.36 km works out to about 150 milliarcsec (mas), if you're used to those units from astronomy contexts.

Letters were 8 mm.

> To demonstrate the system’s capabilities, the team created a series of 8-mm-wide targets, each made from a reflective material and imprinted with a letter.

I checked the paper, by "8mm wide" they mean that the letters were 8mm tall, which is a 22pt font (name-tag size), for those curious.

i'm a bit confused when they don't measure things in olympic pools and bananas for scale

It doesn't need them, it parses SBOMs and manifests from their ecosystems. I think you misunderstood this section of the README.

> Dependencies | SBOM / manifest parsing across npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, Ruby; flags unpinned, shadow, or non-registry deps.

The project seems like it only requires Python >= 3.9!

Nice idea and really polished look.

Nit: clicking "Create X" to add a new tag seems worse than pressing enter to create one as you have to go off the tag menu and back onto it to create or add another, but it's not necessarily clear that you can press enter to create one.

that's a great suggestion

how do you think we can make it more obvious?

This is probably intentional -- if you want to fix a typo or make something clearer that you've already captured you likely want to preserve the original timestamp?

If you want an entry timestamped to your current time, you can make a new entry.

this is the answer :) fixing errors should not alter the timeline I assumed that editing timestamps is also quite problematic since it will break the chronological order of the note

probably, i wonder if there shouldn't be an edited timestamp as well

Drivers like you ruin lives.

I would rephrase that:

"Drivers like you end lives."

I bought a car in 2023. It's my first ever. I was 55 years old.

I am a lifelong cyclist and motorcyclist. I love bikes. But in 2023 I had a debilitating accident with life-changing injuries, and I had to stop riding upright bikes.

I now drive several times a week. I still don't like it. But I do understand the pressures and risks facing car drivers much better. Oh, and this car is an automatic, so I understand those more too; I had never driven an automatic before, because I'm not American. I learned to drive in 1986 or so, and got my license about 20 years later. 100% manual gearboxes all the way.

Making cars safer for the occupants and easier to drive is THE WORST THING TO DO. There are decades of research in risk compensation demonstrating why.

This company's own webpage is awful. It merely says:

« The comma 3X is custom hardware designed to live in your car, and purpose built to run openpilot. »

It does not explain what "openpilot" is or does, and does not even bother to link to it.

This is a bad thing. It is not to be encouraged.
