I had an awesome multiplayer game of Baldurâ(TM)s Gate 3 last night - on my M2 Mac. If Larian can do it, why not others?
Indeed - I have run Linux in 4MB!
I find you ideas fascinating and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
No Bill Paxton the genius curmudgeon who went on to create Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics.
Full disclosure: Iâ(TM)m a MESA developer, and working with Bill in recent years has been the ride of my life.
"Star-quakes" (more accurately, the excitation of one or more internal acoustic or gravity oscillation modes in a star) are neither tsnunami-like or cataclysmic, and TFA is pure clickbait. In most stars in which they've been detected, the brightness fluctuations they cause are well below the one-part-in-a-thousand level.
They do, however, have the potential to uncover the internal structure of stars, via the technique of asteroseismology. So, the Gaia DR3 release is pretty exciting stuff -- just no need to overhype it with Michael Bay adjectives.
Full disclosure: I am a computational asteroseismologist.

I was under the impression that deepfakes require significant processing power. That this is being done in real-time indicates significant resources, no?
Da, komrade!

Among those 335 million pieces of metadata, how many of them actually pertain to anything related to terrorism? My guess..less than
I call BS. Any agent of a corporation can be prosecuted for actions that are illegal. Further, the new game in town seems to be rather than pursue criminal charges, simply fine the corporation - this way the government gets a piece of the action and nobody goes to jail. The (serious) down side: just ask the Wall St. bankers how much of a deterrent that is.
Spoken like a true Sperglord. Well done!
Why has it been allowed to get this bad? Despite how much they like to pretend otherwise, police departments are still beholden to one or more elected officials. If people want the problem solved, they need to put the right people in office. That's how a democracy works - it's not something you can put on auto-pilot and expect it to fix itself.
