For a long time I wondered about elliptic curve cryptog. Is my computer drawing ellipses somewhere? How are they used? When I couldn't find the answers I started to make my own. It took some time to figure out the animation, but I love the result. Enjoy! curves.ulfheim.net

@Vanguard_Group broken link on Personal Investors site: sorry I couldn't figure out where to report this on the support page, Documents -> Statements -> View -> "View or request a balance verification letter" directs to a hostname that doesn't exist

@edahlquist @drvolts I meant to follow up in August, but batteries continued to function in that month. Here's the worst 2-day period in the month, peak net load was 42GW, batteries took 7GW off the top of NG needs (which were kept under 20GW).

@drvolts Come back in August

Fascinating analysis of the increasingly pivotal role that batteries are playing on the California grid. They are steadily eating away at fossil gas. blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-batterie…

Who likes a nice animation? 🤓🔋 Here you find out when lithium-ion batteries will be the most competitive for providing peak capacity (PC)... Or when is hydrogen becomes the best for integrating renewables (RE)? Let's walk through the cheapest storage technologies over time. 1⃣ Colours represent the technologies with the lowest lifetime cost. 2⃣ The axes show discharge duration and cycling frequency. They cover the whole spectrum from second-by-second balancing applications (bottom right) up to inter-seasonal storage (top left), and everything in between. 3⃣ Shading indicates how strong the cost advantage is over the second cheapest technology. The evolution of this competitive landscape is based on projected reductions in investment costs over time. These come from statistically-derived which are published in Monetizing Energy Storage: global.oup.com/academic/produ… Wonder what it would look like if pumped hydro is not an option? Or where and when a radically new, better technology would fit into this mix? Explore these questions and more on EnergyStorage.ninja. Get in touch if this is of interest!

@ParkBurger Just went to Hilltop to get my birthday burger and the Scarpone is gone? Tragic!

Park Burger GOOD! THE SCARPONE. 1/3 lb patty, provolone, crispy pancetta, giardiniera & truffled aioli.

@AAristi1976 @benln Looking again at your response I see the disconnect: for me this has never been about timely responses (that’s just how you sell the behavior change to the offender) — it’s about reducing the number of times in a minute I have to respond to an alarm.

@AAristi1976 @benln Better to use shift-enter and get the same effect without setting off twice the alerts.

Every startup should incorporate the “no hello” rule internally. We had this rule in Notion’s first internal communication guidelines. This may be one of the easiest ways to make Slack usage ten times better and have asynchronous communication that actually works. Share nohello.net with your team and give it go.

@SpaceNotJohn @deltaIV9250 IIRC it’s ion drive powered by Helium-3 fusion. Small but continuous acceleration means Mars direct in three months. One driver in the FAM alternate ‘00s is that fusion power has put the entire energy sector out of work.

@deltaIV9250 Bussard Fusion system of some sort?

Not even a criticism but it's hilarious how For All Mankind features fusion powered interplanetary ships in 2002

@AstroEvada @torybruno A spaceplane!

Nothing quite as pretty on a Wednesday morning as a brand new shiny #BE4 rolling over to get installed on the next #Vulcan...

@TJWallerPhotos @torybruno ulalaunch.com/careers

@torybruno Those are awesome Tory! Is there a link to where I can get this one?

#VulcanRocket #CERT1. One of my favorites…

@OCStationary @johnkrausphotos There is, it’s the white tracked vehicle in the photos.

@johnkrausphotos Always wondered why there’s no grapple system onboard to stabilise the rocket post lading.

Falcon 9 B1058 🫡🇺🇸🚀🪱 A portion of the record-setting Falcon 9 booster remains on board the Just Read the Instructions droneship. After its 19th launch and landing, the vehicle tipped over in rough seas during the transit back to Port Canaveral, and its top portion broke off. On May 30, 2020, B1058 launched Demo-2, the mission that returned orbital human spaceflight to the United States after the retirement of the space shuttle. It went on to fly hundreds of Starlink satellites and other payloads into orbit over its roughly 3.5-year flight history. It brought back the iconic NASA worm logo, and in the time since became a notable and sentimental booster for much of the spaceflight community. While its loss is disappointing, it’s worth remembering that it flew 18 more missions than every expendable rocket that’s ever flown, and the lessons learned from B1058 will contribute to further learnings about Falcon 9 and its recovery and reflight operations. Its 19 flights contributed to an incredible track record of over 250+ orbital class rocket landings, unparalleled by any other entity in the industry. Hopefully some of what remains can be put on display!

@skyler_higley Waiting for a showing of Godzilla Minus One as I chuckle at this. 🐉

@TheKelvington @TrekCulture @seanferrick The landing shuttle is very SW too.

@gojimmypi @wolfSSL Hear hear for doing it in DTLS 1.3. When I wrote my breakdown I looked at 1.2 vs 1.3 and the former was like going a decade into the past wrt. secure protocol design. Good on @wolfSSL for blazing the trail with the modern protocol.

Here it is! My first-ever DTLS 1.3 packet captured, sending from WSL Linux command-line app to ESP32 listening server. TIL #Wireshark does not yet support DTLS13, it shows 1.2, but note the TLS 1.3 cipher suite: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Thanks Anthony @wolfSSL for the help ♥️

@billyboby21101 @vileTexan Don’t bother, you really think this person knows anything about derivatives or intro to calculus? Or even economics for that matter, since he seems to want deflation…

Up 3% in June is NOT A DECLINE you gaslighting motherfuckers. IT'S UP ANOTHER 3%.

Here is the full Philips Sonicare Head NFC Password Calculation 🥳 How I got there you can find in this Thread. 1/N

@jawj Very cool!

@xargsnotbombs Thanks for The Illustrated TLS 1.3 Connection. You might find this interesting if you didn't come across it already: subtls.pages.dev

@arikaleph @1EastSideTony The pain you are feeling in reading my explanation shows why I shouldn’t write as rigorously as you want me to, haha. Improvements to the page are welcome but I worry I’ll lose the introductory feel if it gets too technical. I tried to keep the number of introduced terms low.

@arikaleph @1EastSideTony I’m not much of a mathematician or number theorist so the best I can do is making analogy to real nums having two sqrts (pos and neg), the same being true in finite fields, and if each num with valid sqrts claims two nums then half must have no valid sqrts.
