  1. #TIL that the "My #car must be bigger (than yours)" #syndrome, and, in the same sense, cars constantly getting bigger, has a name:
    #Carspreading

  2. Un #foyer de #syndrome respiratoire aigu s’est déclaré à bord du #bateau de #croisière MV Hondius, deux personnes sont mortes et une troisième est en soins intensifs lemonde.fr/planete/article/202

    Le troisième passager malade, un ressortissant britannique de 69 ans, a été évacué vers un hôpital de Johannesburg. Il a été testé positif à un #hantavirus.

  3. Don't feel rested after #sleeping at night? In menopause, my sleep got worse. I found out that I have #restless #legs #syndrome#RLS, or #Willis-Ekbom disease). It's a neurological condition that can run in families. It might be caused by an imbalance of the brain chemical dopamine. (1/2)

  5. Today I read a comment on X from a guy saying he has visual snow syndrome and that his whole family has it too. Scrolling through the replies, I realized it’s way more common than I thought… man, what an awful condition.
    So, when they do a 3D render, even if they use denoising it doesn’t make any difference? #visual #snow #syndrome #visualsnowsyndrome

  6. My #Incredibles #WMG:

    #Syndrome was not, in fact, the bitter villain we see. He wanted #superheroes to be superheroes. So, in a world that outlawed that, he manufactured a reason that the world MUST have its superheroes again. He became that reason, a supervillain that could only be stopped by the "illegal" superheroes.

  7. TIL about Kessler Syndrome compliments of NASA

    Quote 0:
    Currently, there are over 27,000 tracked pieces of debris, each larger than 10 cm, and millions of smaller, untraceable fragments orbiting Earth. Even a tiny fragment, moving at speeds of up to 28,000 kilometers per hour, can cause catastrophic damage.

    Quote I:
    Sudden Alarm?

    In recent years, space activity has surged dramatically. Companies like SpaceX are launching thousands of satellites for mega-constellations aimed at providing global internet access. While these projects are revolutionary, they also contribute significantly to space congestion. According to Dr. Vishnu Reddy, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, “The number of objects in space launched in the last four years has increased exponentially.”

    In 2009, a wake-up call came in the form of a collision between the defunct Kosmos-2251 satellite and the operational Iridium-33 communications satellite. The impact created thousands of debris pieces, many of which are still orbiting Earth today.

    Similar incidents could set off the cascade envisioned by Kessler, leading to a debris belt so dense that space exploration would become nearly impossible.

  8. #KnowledgeBit: The #Kessler #Syndrome, also known as the Kessler Effect or collisional cascading, is a scenario proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978.

    It describes a self-sustaining cascade of collisions in low Earth orbit (LEO) caused by the increasing density of space debris.

  12. I often get imposter syndrome, especially at work. These days when it happens, I simply remind myself that Donald Trump is president of a country, and then it gets better.

    Forbidden West is a worthy sequel to Zero Dawn. But it
    is unmistakably a sequel, and one into which the developers shoveled every damn thing they could think of, in a failure of understanding that shoveling the game full of shit most players will probably never use doesn't make it a better game. All of that clutter and complexity does not improve the game, it detracts from it. I have thirty or forty unspent level-up skill points because there isn't a damn thing that, as far as I can tell, is worth spending them on except YET MORE special attacks that I have to memorize timed multi-control sequences to activate — and also need to remember to avoid accidentally hitting one of those sequences when I don't want to use them. I can't begin to count the number of times I've accidentally "dodged" sideways off a cliff or tower that I just spent fifteen minutes finding a way up.



    In computer science and engineering, there is something called "
    #second #system #syndrome." It comes when you built a system that works, and now you've been told to build a new version of it, and make it better ... and so you shovel every damn feature you can think of into it. And to your shock, the result is NOT a lean, mean, upgraded machine. It's a bloated, confusing mess that's less usable than the original system.


    Horizon: Forbidden West has second-system syndrome. It has it
    bad.

  16. I'm guessing that Bell Labs was the only place totally immune to Not Invented Here Syndrome, because everything really was invented there. [1]

    Thoughts?

    [1] To a first approximation, anyway.

  17. Clutter in space presents an imminent threat to human activity at or above the #Kármán #line,
    the altitude at which conventional aircraft can no longer fly
    —about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the surface.

    As more objects are launched into orbit, the possibility of #catastrophic #collisions increases.

    More frequent collisions increase the volume of debris, thereby raising the odds of another collision.

    Like a traffic jam, eventually the area becomes so congested that nothing can move safely.

    The minimum speeds necessary to achieve orbit are very high,
    thus everything up there moves extremely fast.

    Basic physics teaches that the faster an object moves, the higher energy it carries into an impact scenario.

    For this reason, even tiny morsels pack a devastating punch.

    For example:
    An object 10 cm wide (3.9 inches) packs the same force as 7 kg (15.4 lbs.) of TNT.
    With limited ability to conduct repairs and collect debris,
    the problem worsens with each occurrence.

    Decades ago, a NASA physicist calculated how this situation can eventually devolve into disaster.

    He determined that putting low earth orbit (where most human-made objects reside) into such a state of chaos will lead to space travel
    —manned or unmanned
    —eventually becoming impossible.

    This principle is now called the #Kessler #Syndrome.

  18. #Flesheating #bacterium cases hit record high in #Japan bangkokpost.com/world/2808935/

    KYODO - #Streptococcal toxic #shock #syndrome, a potentially deadly disease caused by a "flesh-eating" bacterium, is spreading rapidly in Japan, with cases in the first half of this year already surpassing last year's record, a national infectious disease institute said Tuesday.

  19. Experts warn that a rare but dangerous bacterial infection is spreading at a record rate in Japan, with officials struggling to identify the cause.
    The number of cases in 2024 is expected to exceed last year’s record numbers, while concern is growing that the harshest and potentially deadly form of group A streptococcal disease
    #streptococcal #toxic #shock #syndrome (STSS)
    – will continue to spread, after the presence of highly virulent and infectious strains were confirmed in Japan.

    The National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) said: “There are still many unknown factors regarding the mechanisms behind fulminant (severe and sudden) forms of streptococcus, and we are not at the stage where we can explain them.”
    Provisional figures released by the NIID recorded 941 cases of STSS were reported last year.
    In the first two months of 2024, 378 cases have already been recorded, with infections identified in all but two of Japan’s 47 prefectures.
