Yeah they were out of contact for 63 days when it flew ahead of perseverance last year: https://phys.org/news/2023-06-ingenuity-mars-helicopter-home.html

The article doesn't seem to suggest that they've given up on it.

Why not switch to NixOS and run Duplicacy in an Arch Distrobox on top?

Oh right, that makes sense. I was only thinking of Matter as serving low bandwidth devices but it also runs over WiFi and ethernet so I guess it can do video for security cameras etc. and evidently Casting audio and video also.

Also Matter is the smart home interop standard. Seems close enough for some confusion in what Matter compatible means on a device.

Revolutionary

I see what they did there.

Yeah, I was hoping someone mentioned that guy. He's doing great work actually gathering data.

He builds up his photographs a lot in that video, which is totally justified since seemingly no-one in history has ever bothered to (accurately) publish what's there before, but that's not his normal style. He's usually just gathering all the available published accounts and noting what makes sense and what doesn't.

It's great to see someone say they don't have all the answers but that there are answerable questions that can be posed. Even better when they go get the answers themselves - without breaking any rules.

You should check out the youtube channel in the sibling comment. There's a good video on why the cap stones were unlikely to be special (and very unlikely to be gold): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZxmkNESTpM

No, that's crows. Your thinking of school.

Better hope you set undofile and undodir is writable.

ZZ whatever

Reject deities; return to sun worship.

For sure. It'd be nice to have the units in a separate namespace but at least Numbat won't let you override identifiers already defined in the system of measure. I use Pint on Python - I usually keep the units in an identifier named u so they can't get accidentally overridden. That means either using u.km for single units or u('g/cm^3') for composite units. It'd be great if the language could separate units e.g. as [km] or `` but getting a compact syntax to distinguish the units namespace without colliding with other language features would be tricky. I remember F# having a good syntax but didn't dive that deep since it's not used widely in my field.

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

You are on this paper, but we do not grant you the rank of post-doc.

A comment on that article says it's more complicated than that. The Air Force Chief of Staff preferred SR over RS and got the speech changed before the president gave it.

Sir, that's called a monocle.

Doesn't flatpack use dpkg's update-alternatives or something like it?
