It took a few hours for it to update on my end, but when I checked back later it did work.

 

The visuals in the game look very artistic and beautiful, but I have no idea what I'm doing, and there's no text to explain what the various visuals mean. I know that the tutorial hasn't been released yet, but can you at least include text labels, or pop-ups, or some little bit of instruction to help explain what things are?

There is a way to solve this problem, using a webcam and a small projector.

That would have a tremendous impact on the quality of future microphones. One of the biggest limiters is "self-noise" - like a quiet background of ocean roar when the gain (volume) is raised all the way up, caused by the noise of the circuitry.

I'm pretty sure Tasker could handle it. You could probably also limit it to just playing notifications for a single app, or only when connected to one specific BT device, if that's what you're after.

My understanding is that "the speed of light in a vacuum" isn't really about light itself, but rather about the speed limit of cause and effect, or "information", in our universe. Light just happens to move at that maximum speed.

In quantum mechanics, even if you can have an entangled pair (separated by long distance) collapse instantaneously, that system still couldn't be used for instantaneous communication that exceeds the speed of light in a vacuum. (At least, that is what I have previously understood.)

I read all three articles, and didn't find an answer to this question:

When they say "quantum teleportation of information" - The speed of that teleportation itself is still limited to C, right?

I tried to post this video directly, but it got removed. So, here is how to make your own sound-dampening baffle box for a home server:

To be clear, it's not that they shoot laser beams from their feathers as some sort of mating ritual or defense mechanism (which, honestly, is probably how I would have used my own laser feathers, if I had them), but that there are strikingly identical nano structures that can reflect back a little bit of laser light, under laboratory conditions:

After staining the feathers with a common dye and pumping them with soft pulses of light, they used laboratory instruments to detect beams of yellow-green laser light that were too faint to see with the naked eye. They emerged from the feathers’ eyespots, at two distinct wavelengths.

From what I understood of the article, it's not just the size (which you can get from merging previous black holes), but the combination of size, speed, and angle that are raising eyebrows.

Smash two random black holes together, and the odds are, they're spinning at different random angles. Do that a bunch of times, and unless their angles all happened to be lined up just right, the the resulting spin will be a lot slower than the maximum speed a black hole of that size can spin. But these were spinning at 80% and 90% of their max speed.

Okay, so maybe they were both "normal sized" black holes that gobbled up a lot of matter around a galactic nucleus? That might work, except then you'd expect them to both be spinning in the same direction - but they weren't.

So, none of the scientists' predictions are really matching what they actually observed. Maybe it was one of those things, maybe those models are off a bit, or maybe there's another model to explain these kinds of black holes that we just haven't thought of yet.

As an example, in Reaper, you can add a reverb effect to a section that you are looping. Then in the Render dialog, enable the "second pass render" option.

That chunk of audio that it renders, will become a perfectly seamless loop in itself. The reverb tail that would have gotten chopped off at the end of that render, will continue on with the start of the render.

At that point, if you didn't really need the beginning and end of the song, you can have that chunk of the song that seamlessly loops forever, when played on repeat.

 

Hey folks, does anyone know where I can find a full (and continually updated) list of those historical figures who have been officially deleted from government websites?

For context, I am the producer for a children's radio drama, one of the last surviving programs from the 1940s. Some of the stories we tell are modern, character-building stories, and others are purely historical.

In our most recent album, for example, we have a beautiful two-part series on Frederick Douglass, and another story on the origin of child labor laws.

I think it would be awesome if we could do a series of stories focused on those individuals who have been deleted from official government websites for being "DEI". After all, misunderstanding our history is how we got into this mess in the first place.

(I apologize if this isn't the wrong place to post this - if anybody knows of a more appropriate community, please let me know.)

 

I've spent the last couple of months working on this Word document for the church, buncha Psalms or something, idk, but the patron is honestly kind of a jerk and I'm bored. Looking for some ideas to spice it up.
