Exactly. It wasn't obvious until I read the linked BBC article [1] that:
"Millions of pounds have been saved by replacing a Palantir IT system which helps to find homes for Ukrainian refugees with one built by its own experts"
It is noteworthy that a government department decided it could meet its requirements without a 3rd party provider. Could be the start of a trend but a wholesale move away from PLTR this isn't.
"vibrations can be strong enough to dislodge a seed’s 'statoliths,' which are tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed."
"Statoliths are denser than a cell’s cytoplasm and can drift and sink through the cell, like a bit of sand in a jar of water. When a statolith finally settles to the bottom, its resting place on the cell’s membrane is a reflection of gravity’s direction and a signal for where a seed’s root or shoot should grow."
Thanks jcims for sharing this amazing info! However, I wonder how these very loud bats, all in close proximity, don't get confused by each others' calls? Is the answer their frequency sweeping? Or does each have something analogous to a unique "voice"?
Good question! Yes they definitely have unique voices and call signatures. A single string of calls from a single bat will have variation between calls as well (especially in search phase).
It'd imagine there's a lot of neurophysical adaptation involved as well, just like listening to a single conversation in a crowded room.
That said, hunting in an area filled with bats is probably not as effective as being in a quiet place.
Yes, sam can be used on the command line with ssam [1]. It's specific to plan9port [2]. In the original Plan 9, ssam wasn't included because Rob Pike didn't want to give up the X command that handles multiple files [3]:
I find the X command extremely powerful, and can't see any way to
have a streaming implementation that will look at multiple files
simultaneously.
> Is there a port to Apple silicon?
plan9port works on it. It compiled without any errors on my Apple Silicon Mac.
Given the connection with a one-time pad, I wonder why the article refers to the technique as "cryptology". Wouldn't "cryptography" be the correct term, given the security afforded by a one-time pad is unmatched?
Moreover, students are indoctrinated in MS Office from a young age, given the extent to which it's been baked into official curricula. The books that a lot of Indian students use are available online [1] and MS' stranglehold is very evident.
