Went quick with this earlier because I was rushing about but let's have a proper moment for Antony Jameson, who just passed away.
He is a legend in the computational fluid dynamics field. His codes made it possible to shift from testing aircraft in wind tunnels to doing much of the work via simulation.
He co-created the JamesonโSchmidtโTurkel (JST) scheme in 1981, still a foundational algorithm for solving the Euler and NavierโStokes equations. He produced the first inviscid flow solution for a complete aircraft, and in 1985 achieved the first Euler calculation of flow past a whole aircraft. His FLO and SYN codes were used across Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Embraer,
Jameson altered the course of aviation and had a major influence on ships as well.
He leaves behind a legacy of fantastic students who have also reshaped aerospace.
There's a lovely piece here on him https://t.co/3TmUb7SGcW
Viruses are the primary driver of modifiable diseases of aging.
Cancer
Neurodegeneration
Immune senescence
Autoimmunity
Its the largest hole in longevity research by a massive margin.
@TimothyPSmith7 Can we talk? I think its time to stop masking. UR where right. It was a weapon. Omicron is the antidote. Still some long term risk but dont miss out on life. Switch to carragean nasalspray. We will all get hit by a bus anyway.
@centurionmagnum@BuzzPatterson 6 To he said. And the plane arr from mexico. Taken past his destination and finaly hijacked by atc to an airport even further north. Btw, 6to was probbly his calculated remaining when landing 26R in Houston as requested. Blw his min so pan pan. Sad.
@CRUDEOIL231 This is what, another ~1m bpd offline then? Insane that something like this, which would be a big deal in normal times, isn't even on the radar due to the scale of the Hormuz and Red Sea crises
The NSA kept 1 lecture in a vault for 40 years. In 2024 they released it. It's Grace Hopper explaining the future of computing in 1982.
The channel that posted it: the National Security Agency's own YouTube.
Hopper stands at a podium in Navy uniform, a captain, and talks to a room of NSA staff for 90 minutes across 2 reels.
The title: "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People."
She compares the computer industry to the early automotive one, all custom parts and no standards, and argues software will become the hard problem, not hardware. She was right by decades.
She invented the first compiler and gave COBOL its shape. She kept a clock that ran backwards on her wall to prove rules can be questioned.
The tapes were too degraded for normal release, so the agency restored them before posting.
40 years in an NSA archive. 90 minutes. Now free.
Ross inspired me to make sardine fish cakes with a homemade hollandaise sauce with dill. I made the fish cakes with rice flour and rice crumbs, egg yolk, homemade mayonnaise, scallion and red curry paste and fried them in butter and coconut oil
23:24 UTC Monday: an A320 gets stuck on Gatwickโs only runway.
21 minutes later, 10 aircraft are squawking 7700, nine of them at the same instant, for nine straight minutes.
Our receivers heard every one. The full cascade, from raw ADS-B:
@fdesmet2021@davepl1968 Well at low RPMs you cant burn much fuel anyway as there wont be much air supplied by the compressor. But you need to burn some 300kgs/hr ie to overcome system drag...result is a minimum N2, no?
