Maybe because FIRMS uses data from satellites in polar orbits, which only pass over the area once every few hours? With choosing near-Earth polar vs. farther geostationary orbits there's a tradeoff between space and time resolution.

No, just a student on winter break who got curious why CA Fire's map wasn't showing the up-to-date extent of the Eaton fire. Do they have this kind of heat data?

No, looks like they're doing a way better job! Thanks for sharing. I was only aware of the GOES sats. Seems like VIIRS is more intended to do this kind of monitoring.

It's accurate. Stellar winds are the primary driver of mass loss for stars near the end of their lives. Asymptotic red giants have extremely voluminous and sparse atmospheres very loosely bound by gravity; any excess radiation pressure would create an instability and blow away portions of the outer envelope. Eventually this exposes a dense, glowing carbon/oxygen/neon core surrounded by a fraction of the original atmosphere (exact composition varies), which we call a white dwarf.

I swear submitted this post last night but now it shows I did it two hours ago? Spooky

radius vs diameter

According to the description of this NASA image [1], they flew a 7-million-cubic-feet super-pressure balloon in 2009. Approximating as a perfect sphere, that's around 120 feet in radius / 80 yards in diameter. And "When development ends, NASA will have a 22 million-cubic-foot balloon", which is around 170 feet in radius / 110 yards in diameter. These things also look squashed when inflated [2], so they're probably even wider horizontally. Basically, you can fit an entire football field inside along with some stands.

AI couldn't have started any of the artistic and literary movements, which don't just blend between traditional styles but reject some aspect to forge something new. You can't get AI to generate cubism from training on Victorian art.

Welp. It worked on the school-issued Chromebooks and my friend's Macbook Air but not on iPads or iPhones, so guess I have to test it on more Apple stuff :/

Floating bar numbers are an interesting way of giving terminating representations to more commonly used decimals. Each number is essentially a numerator and denominator pair, with some bits to indicate the position of the division bar separating them.

Yeah, when I first shared it in a developer discord server I joked that Microsoft was operating a black market Bing-conversion program. Seems too shady even for Microsoft though. I guess they want me to inject ads/trackers into the results, but I don't see how it's easier with these search engines?

Reposting my experience from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27326268:

As a dev of an extension with 10k users I get 3-4 emails a month in my spam which ask me to monetize my extension by secretly changing its users' search engines. My extension is open-source and quite small, but if the change was sneaked in I think most of the users would not notice. I stick to using userscripts for the most part since you can easily check their downloaded source and disable updates.

He mentioned some current event keywords which might be the cause. Also, he has more subscribers than any grandmaster's channel as far as I'm aware.

Nowhere in that citation is there concrete support for your claim that these words led to the video being taken down.

> 4:15 But if that's the case, then I'm pretty sure all of my 1800 videos will be taken down, as it's pretty much black against white to the death every video, and I don't think it's supposed to work like that.

https://www.thismusicvideodoesnotexist.com/assets/urls.json has about a dozen video IDs

Wow. That feels like living in an O'Neill cylinder.

That might be true for more minimal TUIs, but I don't think most screen-readers can handle the multi-paneled ones like OP.

I'm not very familiar with deep learning. How does this compare to the biomimicking Spike Time Dependent Plasticity of spiking neural networks?
