She is also the host of Hell or High Water: When Disaster Hits Home , a podcast from Vox Media and Audible Originals. By definition, flash floods are notoriously difficult to warn people about well in advance. They form rapidly, giving forecasters hours of lead time at best to figure out where they might hit with specificity. We’ve seen this with devastating effect in Texas, where flash flood

‘Warning Fatigue’ Might Have Made Texas Floods Deadlier

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-06 05:30:49

A deluge of rain triggered deadly flash floods in Texas Hill Country over the weekend, causing widespread damage and killing more than 80 people. As the death toll climbs, some experts say “flood warning fatigue” may have discouraged residents from heeding the National Weather Service’s (NWS) warnings. Texas Hill Country is part of “flash flood alley,” a crescent-shaped region that curves from the Dallas area down to San Antonio and then westward. It’s one of the most dangerous places in the U.

At 6,100 BTU cooling capacity, the Wave 3 is designed for a car, RV, tent, boat, or any space that might be either temporary or off the grid. The Wave 3 also has a slightly higher 6,800 BTU heat mode. I have a van and and a dog, so for me, the Wave 3 offers a specific type of assurance on hot or cold days.

Normalizing Flows Are Capable Generative Models

Normalizing Flows (NFs) are likelihood-based models for continuous inputs. They have demonstrated promising results on both density estimation and generative modeling tasks, but have received relatively little attention in recent years. In this work, we demonstrate that NFs are more powerful than previously believed. We present TarFlow: a simple and scalable architecture that enables highly performant NF models.

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

news.ycombinator.com Cardenas 2026-02-25 10:33:10

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient
