i wouldn’t consider a quarter century of work by the field a crisis


what are you talking about? it's fine on firefox, and I don't expect an academic department to test on every browser


Please edit out swipes ("what are you talking about?") from your comments, as the site guidelines ask: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Your comment would be just fine without that bit.


Worked on an old ipad.


I read it as: for the same calculation, what would have previously taken 5,000 CPU cores * hours ran on a supercomputer can now be run in 2 milliseconds on a desktop. Or about roughly 10 orders of magnitude faster


And if it is ever needed, let's hope the stockpiles and logistics are in place to allow for quick distribution of the drug to broad portions of populations which are affected. We saw with COVID-19 that the U.S. let the Strategic National Stockpile become depleted. In the worst case, let's hope the drug has been maintained to be immediately available.


This is factually incorrect. This HOPO 14-1 chelates f-block elements, many of which are radioactive, without depleting other metal ions from the body which are essential for metabolism and other functions. Also, there are a large number of agents which can mitigate the damage done by radiation exposure when administered prophylactically


Do you know of a list of these and can they be acquired without prescriptions?


dithering improves efficiency because it reduces the bit depth


Also, not all types of dithering have regular patterns.

And as someone else noted in this thread, a jpeg would offer better image fidelity and filesize than this dithered PNG.


The Japanese government has confirmed what appears to be a ballistic missile launched by North Korea has not fallen in the northern prefecture of Hokkaido or surrounding areas.



This should be the link.


no it isn't. Running 107.0 here and it looks fine


You could attach an rtl-sdr to a raspberry pi and locally host a websdr server (https://github.com/jketterl/openwebrx is a good open source one). The rtl-sdr doesn't have a high enough sample rate to cover about half of the commercial fm broadcast spectrum at a time where you can see quickly switch between stations in that portion e.g. 89-94 Mhz. Going to the other half just requires having two different modes and switching between them in the websdr interface.


Or just having two sdr's.
