> So, I wondered how bad it was for actual raw photos encoded straight in darktable. Meaning just one step of encoding.

Maybe this? https://youtu.be/iP4fckfDNK8

It shows how the FT is a 2D slice of the 3D LT in the s-domain.

I'm saying it's very likely that the business has exactly zero tolerance for the detector missing those signs while there are known, unresolved issues. They can't have something happen when they "knew it could happen".

After "resolving" the issue, then they can resume tolerating the normal probabilities.

In the US, it might be more of a precaution. In Europe, it could be more of a legal obligation. Either way, I doubt engineering has a say in the matter.

If the list is of objects they can't yet reliably detect, then how would they implement your suggestion to detect those objects? I'm sure they have a lower tolerance for false negatives, so of course the known problems must be hard-coded.

Papers are for resumes and funding. Novelty is something the journal or investor could define and require, if they wanted it.

It should be obvious what "evolutionist" means considering that it's explained in the sentence you quoted starting immediately after the word. If anything, it seems like you might actually want creationists to own the word. Crazy warning, indeed.

Even though the article used a trope as a line to set up the story, it doesn't propagate that trope.

What you think that will accomplish? We already schedule industrial loads for times of low demand from residential and commercial. Rescheduling those loads to coincide with high intermittent generation usually requires more transmission and distribution capacity.

Debating total cost depends almost entirely on the particular grid in question. For all we know, those "nuclear fans'" estimates could be spot-on but completely irrelevant to you.

All of the Falcon 1 payloads were expendable (which includes low-priority). It was a test vehicle conducting test flights in all but name. Had they continued developing it instead of pivoting to Falcon 9, it would have been its own test vehicle.

Suppose that the eventual production vehicle has a fairly different design, a different name, and it succeeds on its first flight. Would it then have used the same methodology that resulted in Falcon 9?

I'm only asking rhetorically. The Ship of Theseus is an interesting philosophical question, but the way you define "methodology" shouldn't depend on your answer.

The cheapest one with GPS. If you choose a model with a small watch face but you don't have dainty wrists, make sure you can find a longer after-market band first.

Yeah, that part wouldn't change.

I guess they could make a horizontal DIMM socket.

It would be determined mostly by the dimensional stability of the polymer they're injecting.
