I'd bet on a bad update or configuration change. (likely one that prevents the affected systems from reaching the internet and being automatically rolled back)
The problem with hyperspectral imaging is that it ends up throwing away 99.9% of all the light that hits your camera. It's been done for the sun and some very bright nebulae, but really isn't practical for most of the stuff in space.
That's common in high end astophotography, and almost exclusively used at professional observatories. However, scientists like filters that are "rectangular", with a flat passband and sharp falloff, very unlike human color vision.
For wideband filters used for stars and galaxies, yes. Sometimes the filters are wider then the entire visible spectrum.
For narrowband filters used to isolate emission from a particular element, no. If you have just the Oxygen-III signal isolated from everything else, you can composite it as a perfect turquoise color.
Importantly, the planets aren't actually lined up nicely like on the site. Right now, Mars is ~5 times further then shown.
That's why so many people were taking pictures of Mars back in January, when it was actually possible to take see detail. Right now it just looks like a red orb.
They do state the test conditions "at 94 dB SPL, 1 kHz", but don't specify the units attacked to the actually measurement. It's given as a ratio to an unspecified quantity.
Thanks, it's a good example for this bad practice. Especially because this could reasonably be both dBu and dBV, so it's actually ambiguous. (On the other hand with that tolerance the difference between the two is not that significant)
As they should. More often then not, going into academia means horrible working conditions and horrible pay... and there's job satisfaction when your instead of doing things you like or ones enrich society, you spend most of your time in a never ending fight for grant money.
Leaving is completely logical for anyone that wants to actually do impactful research, or wants to make a living wage, and wants sane hours and sane management.
> 1) downloading Windows exe files from Chinese forums
VMs exist. I highly doubt the author daily drives windows XP.
> 2) the USB storage provided by network card can still contain malware
Well yes, but so can any other drivers. Downloading from the manufactures website isn't any more secure. Even signed drivers have been caught doing nasty stuff.
> 3) or can be accidentally booted from
True, but again this is quite a convoluted, noticeable, and unreliable way to compromize a system. Just injecting a handful of keystrokes will do it, and once the dead is done, the device can hide all evidence of malicious intent.
> 4) it has universal USB controller, so can become any HID device: keyboard, mouse...
This isn't wtf: a lot of devices nowadays are just microcontrollers hooked up to a USB connector. Quite a few normal USB drives can be reprogrammed to act as keyboards, and be used to get up to all sorts of shenanigans, including ones made outside of China.
Another day, another LLM generated blog post on the front page.
I'm not opposed to AI tools on principle, but why does this article exist?
It's not because the author had anything interesting to say. It's not because the AI had anything interesting to say. It's a summary of a Youtube video because... clicks or something.
Counterpoint (as someone who watched the 30 mins video originally): some people may not have time to watch said video and can read the AI-generated summary quicker and then decide if the video is worth watching.
