For a sense of how crazy 30 detections per day is: Super-K is a cylinder 41.4m tall and 39.3m in diameter [1] and neutrino flux on Earth is 65 billion per square centimeter per second [2]

The tank's cross sectional area relative to the sun depends on its relative orientation to the sun. We'll ballpark it at somewhere between its circular endcaps (Pi x ((39.3/2)^2) = 1213 square meters) and its curved cylindrical face (which, pointed right at the sun, has a rectangular cross section of 41.4 x 39.3 = 1627 square meters).

So, conservatively, the neutrino flux through Super-K's tank is 1400 m^2 x (100cm/m)^2 x 6.5e10 neutrino/second/(cm^2) x 86400 seconds/day = 7.86e22 neutrinos/day passing through the tank. Of which 30 are detected.

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino (end of intro section, just before History). Wikipedia says only that the "majority" of the 65 billion flux is from the sun, so we might be off by a factor of two-ish in the worst case.



I've done the same thing - making a USB-only printer available on my LAN - following this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-print-server/

One nice thing is I can print to the CUPS server even if the printer is off


BTC cannot be split beyond 10^-8


With a soft fork it could easily.


Lightning Network already uses millisatoshis. Of course they can't be settled in sub-satoshi amounts on the main chain, until there's enough interest in a fork to do so.

The fixed supply describes the total sum of units that have been issued, and that are intended to be issued in the future - it doesn't relate to the divisibility of those units.


Thanks , I've learned something new today!


Every time I've looked into doing a DIY NAS in the last few years Topton seems to come up - as far as I can tell it's because they make MiniITX boards with a boatload of SATA ports.


"I'm sorry for how you feel about it" isn't exactly an empathetic opening stance


In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45831614 jack1243star pointed out the possibility that English might not be Kiki's first language and they perhaps even have used ChatGPT to make the comment sound more polite.


It is a passive aggressive dismissal.


> I doubt Apple could demonstrably prove damages before the civil statute of limitations expires.

Statute of Limitations is about how long you have to file the case, by no means is it a deadline by which you must fully prove damages and have no opportunity to continue your case after it passes.


Apparently from a F@H blog post [1] they say it's still useful to know the dynamics of how it folded, in addition to the final folded shape. And that having ML-folded proteins is a rich target for simulation to validate and to understand how the protein works

> Do you know if the vapor chambers operate at reduced internal atmospheric pressure?

Indeed they do. A random search found this company that manufactures vapor chambers and they have a short discussion: https://radianheatsinks.com/vapor-chamber-heatsink/
