Minesweeper thermodynamics

news.ycombinator.com Posted On 2025-10-13 18:14:20

You know how sometimes you start a game of Minesweeper and immediately get stuck? Like maybe there are some cells that you know are mines, but there aren’t any places that are safe to click. In this example there are five different ways you could fill in the mines in the neighbouring cells. Note that there’s no cell which is safe in every possibility, so there’s nowhere we can safely click to get more information. So in order to plan our next click, it would be good to know how likely it is t

As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-20 07:20:14

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

Invitees outside your household will need their own Prime membership going forward.
