I think we call that "progress" in IT
Mark out the points
Build the tire pyre
Assemble different coders
Light up the fire
Put on your masks
(unless working from home)
Illumination, illumination
Listen to the scrum
Between each release, each iteration of scrumBurn, burn, burn brightly...
Recurring themes, time again
Everything I'm taught amounts to nought

replace it with Brainfuck in hardware and that would be an improvement
. That'd be dead simple to make a core for.

We learned today from a WAVY reporter that the old web address now goes to a retail site that you donât want your kids to see â and may not want to see yourself. Our research so far shows that someone impersonated a city employee, contacted our domain registration company, and transferred the old URL. We were never notified. Bring your library card to any Hampton branch library, and they will put a sticker on it with the correct website. (Also maybe take possession of your kidsâ cards until you can do that, as this story is making headlines and kids are curious.) Hampton apologizes for this, but please know we were also duped or hacked. No one connected with the city had anything to do with this.

The target is called Dimorphos. It's a moon of an asteroid Didymos.
So why didn't they call the moon Epididymos?

Whether the experiment succeeded beyond accomplishing its intended impact will not be known until further ground-based telescope observations of the asteroid next month. But NASA officials hailed the immediate outcome of Monday's test, saying the spacecraft achieved its purpose.

So they went to the trouble of lifting an experimental missile into space at an enormous expense. To then slam it into an asteroid. But they didn't think to add a secondary payload that'd maybe video the impact? Typical government.

The question is whether the orbit has changed. That is what is going to take the time to determine.

They did, actually.
Here (I can't ask you to TFA. That would be ):
Monday's test also was observed by a camera mounted on a briefcase-sized mini-spacecraft released from DART days in advance, as well as by ground-based observatories and the Hubble and Webb space telescopes, but images from those were not immediately available.

It wasn't an American who decided to use the length of a human foot, thumb, or outstretched arm for length. Or the distance a team of oxen could plough without resting. We got all those from the Brits before they fell in love with a mostly-French system based on a random subdivision of the Earth's circumference and abandoned the units for which people carry the standards on their person.

Yet another AI hack figures you can just store the latent variables from a neural network, and (kinda mostly somewhat) recreate the original image. Assuming you also carry around several gigabytes of trained neural network (at least this time the network doesn't depend on the specific image).
BĂźhlmann's method currently comes with significant limitations, however: It's not good with faces or text, and in some cases, it can actually hallucinate detailed features in the decoded image that were not present in the source image.
Instead of losing some signals like normal lossy compression, we now have gainy compression, where new random stuff occasionally appears out of nowhere.

Yeah but those were fractal continuations. This will be, by rough estimate, mostly random scraps of kittens and porn.
