Four of these planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn—can be seen with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune will be visible through a very strong pair of skywatching binoculars or a backyard telescope. While August 10 marks the beginning of this planetary parade, these six planets will be visible until the final days of August, when Mercury sinks lower on the horizon an

The Longest Sightline on Earth

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-05 12:08:34

See, all the examples above are limited by the curvature of the earth, and that is why the horizon seems to be the limiting factor. But there are two additional variables in play that can allow for some truly amazing sightlines: the height of the target and the temperature of the air. The height of the target is intuitively obvious, as we all realize we can see Calgary's skyline from way further away than 4.7 km. In fact, Calgary's skyline can be seen at least 50 km away since the height of the

Sony sues Tencent over blatant Horizon Zero Dawn clone, Light of Motiram

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-12-18 03:46:00

What just happened? In a move that is only surprising because of how long it's taken, Sony has launched a lawsuit against Tencent over a game that looks so much like Horizon Zero Dawn it's hard to believe it isn't a sequel. Light of Motiram is described by the Japanese company as a "slavish clone" of the popular robot-dinosaur-fighting adventure games, which is an accurate description. Gamers were excited to see what everyone assumed was another entry in the Horizon Zero Dawn series last Novemb

Sony sues Tencent over its Horizon Zero Dawn clone

Sony is suing Tencent for copying nearly every aspect of its Horizon games for the upcoming Light of Motiram, an open-world hunting game with some obvious similarities to Sony's franchise, as first reported by Reuters. Tencent first announced the new game in November 2024. The lawsuit goes into detail on the various ways Tencent's new game appears to be unlawfully copying memorable aspects of Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West and Lego Horizon Adventures.

Iconic NASA Probe That Visited Pluto Could Go Dark Thanks to Trump Cuts

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-01-12 22:05:58

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, revealing unprecedented close-up views of the complex icy world. The iconic mission is still returning data from the far reaches of the solar system, but a lack of funding now threatens to end the mission prematurely. As NASA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the historic Pluto flyby, the space agency is also bracing for budget cuts that threaten the historic New Horizons probe.

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

Brit politicians question Fujitsu's continued role in public sector contracts

British MPs and peers are questioning the government's decision to continue accepting bids for large-scale IT contracts from Fujitsu, despite the Japanese supplier's previous pledge to stop bidding. Following the widespread publicity around the Post Office Horizon scandal in January 2024, Fujitsu, which supplied the faulty computer system, volunteered to stop bidding for UK public sector contracts until the public inquiry had completed.

Does RL scale? Over the past few years, we've seen that next-token prediction scales, denoising diffusion scales, contrastive learning scales, and so on, all the way to the point where we can train models with billions of parameters with a scalable objective that can eat up as much data as we can throw at it. Then, what about reinforcement learning (RL)? Does RL also scale like all the other objectives? Apparently, it does. In 2016, RL achieved superhuman-level performance in games like Go and C

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-03-15 00:00:03

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office. But both Sunshine and Event Horizon have since e
