It's basically chaff, lol. We've known chaff is an effective radar countermeasure since the 40s, and it seems like the researchers have found the lidar and optical equivalents of chaff. What really scares me is the idea of this evolving into more sophisticated deception attacks like range or velocity gate pulls. No idea how you'd do that with lidar or optically, but I'd bet money that's a line item on a black budget somewhere
If I'm ever staring at math, I'm absolutely not processing visual information while doing so. It's more that like, I'm staring off into space and thinking and "math on a whiteboard" just happens to be the last thing I was looking at and my face is still pointed that way
Bring back the sparkvark. Or like, when they finally retire the bone, hollow out the airframe, toss in a few hundred MW of generators and let it saturation jam the entire timezone
Your post looks like a reasonably good joke about acronyms with multiple meanings, but just in case you actually don't know, PDA is short for "public display of affection" in this context
I've really enjoyed how much ATS incentivizes that optimization, given that years spent on a settlement count toward the blightstorm cycle. It's really satisfying to figure out how to max rep as quickly as possible, especially with really hard modifiers like the "no orders" one
I got really caught up in the "make number bigger" cycle of lifting, and each 5lbs I added to any lift was a huge dopamine spike. Obviously you can't keep increasing weight forever, but I found that the steady and easy dopamine hits from noob gains were enough to establish it as a habit in spite of my attention span
Warhammer 40k. I'm also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the "good at math and science" variety to support my "expensive hobby" variety
One of the slave node's child process failed, so the master node sent a signal to terminate the child and restart the slave
There's pretty solid reason my research group is pushing to use "head node and executor nodes" nomenclature rather than the old-school "master node and slave nodes" nomenclature, haha
"Retard" used to be a largely medical term used to refer to mentally disabled people. It's common usage in the past 10 years or so has been "bad, stupid, less than, etc". By using the term that way, you're passively connecting disabled people to that concept of "bad, stupid, less than, etc". I think it's also considered a slur lately
Raisins in particular have a mouthfeel like bugs for me. Fresh grapes are mid but nice when it's hot out. I like dried versions of most fruits I like the fresh version of
F.D.C. Williard finally has some competition
