Along with the Strava secret base location leak, another interesting one was the ship with a contraband Starlink:
As the Independence class Littoral Combat Ship USS Manchester plied the
waters of the West Pacific in 2023, it had a totally unauthorized Starlink
satellite internet antenna secretly installed on top of the ship by its gold
crew’s chiefs. That antenna and associated WiFi network were set up without
the knowledge of the ship’s captain, according to a fantastic Navy Times
story about this absolutely bizarre scheme. It presented such a huge security
risk, violating the basic tenets of operational security and cyber hygiene,
that it is hard to believe.
Yeah, I never got into DN3D, maybe b/c it was Windows only? I might be misremembering, but I played UT on Mac with friends by setting up AppleTalk using rj11 adapters. My now-spouse called it the game before the game and it was perhaps more social than the actual game.
> This is a serious risk for the open source ecosystem and particularly the scientific ecosystem that over the last years has adopted many of these technologies.
At worst, it's just Anaconda II AI Boogaloo. The ecosystems will evolve and overcome, or will die and different ecosystems rise to meet the need going forward.
I anticipate OpenAI will get bored and ignore Astral's tools. Software entropy will do its thing and we will remember an actively developed uv as the good old days until something similar to cargo gets adopted as part of Python's standard distribution.
The officials say it could have been created to redistribute the pyramid's
weight around the entrance or another as yet undiscovered chamber.
From TFA:
Specialists have linked the corridor to the pyramid’s internal load
management. Its position near the entrance and behind the gabled stonework
suggests it may have helped redirect the immense weight pressing down from
above, much as the relieving chambers over the king’s chamber were designed
to protect spaces below.
Yeah, looks like a "relieving chamber" [0] to me. It'd be interesting to take the densities from muon tomography and plug them into finite element analysis. A recent paper using the muon tomography data to inform comparisons of ramp styles [1] says that further data is needed:
The possibility that the NFC functioned as a relieving chamber has been
previously suggested, though without consensus. . . . where the NFC’s gabled
vault—an architecture well known for load redirection—could act as a
stress-moderating feature, limiting transmission toward the Descending
Passage. This interpretation remains hypothetical and does not imply
intentional design integration; it is based solely on geometric compatibility
and structural plausibility. Verifying a load-management role will require
dedicated finite-element analyses constrained by ERT geometry and improved
characterization of internal stratigraphy.
Yes, iirc the concept wasn't to decouple content and presentation but to decouple semantics from presentation in order to re-present content in different media in that medium's native representation of a particular semantic. However, many things are not much different in different media, a headline is a headline. And other things like "emphasis" can have cultural differences even within the same media, like being bold, italicized or even double-quotes.
I suppose to a limited extent, that being “articles” in the typical sense, the strategy might be said to have some modicum of success. I’m sure many CMSs store articles as mostly “plain” HTML and regurgitate the same, directly into a part of the final HTML document, with actual normal CSS rules styling that.
Those are definitely not what you want for anything other than actual music production - they're designed for a flat frequency response which is really useful when mixing music, but awful for anything else.
> In the end it looks like we are treading water, just like it was when computers got 1M times faster in a couple of decades, but we felt very little improvement in earnings or reduction in work.
I think this is a very important point. The hedonic treadmill means real gains are discounted. The novelty information cycle is like an Osborn Effect for improvements, like the semi-annual Popular Mechanic's flying car covers where there is an enticing future perpetually nearly here and at the same time disappointingly never materialized.
