I don't think it means anything, it's probably just a curiosity. Simple equations like that probably don't work correctly when applied universe-scale.

The event horizon radius grows linearly, so it's possible for a black hole to have a lower density than water (around 7 billion solar masses). Another curiosity is that if you plug in the mass of the regular matter in the observable universe into the schwarzchild radius equation (R = 2GM/(c^2)) you get a black hole event horizon larger than the the observable universe.

If it's an existing commit and you're already converting the repo, you can just convert the commit messages as well.

Unless the attacker was the one that made that original commit and message. The fact that SHA-1 is broken in specific instances means the algo is untrustworthy.

Since SHA-1 is already broken (just expensive in terms of GPU-time), then the text "please see commit <sha1>" is also already broken.

C# is a "first class" language in Godot and doesn't need a GDExtension, but it's not compatible with web builds yet. There is a draft PR that includes C# support but it adds about +50 MB to a web export and is also missing a few features.

Yes the event horizon would be smaller than the width of a proton. Good luck getting anything into that with 300 TW of gamma rays coming out of it.

If you had a small black hole in a lab you could generate power from the hawking radiation, likely enough to power the entire world. A 1,000,000 ton black hole would last over a thousand years without feeding it more mass and produce about 300 TW of energy (increasing over time, so you better keep feeding it). You'd also need some pretty good sunglasses to be able to watch things being thrown into it. Also I'm not sure how you could throw anything into it given the amount of radiation pressure... Maybe a dedicated particle accelerator could do it.

Anything smaller while also lasting long enough to do an experiment on and you'd likely end up producing too much energy and destroying the planet.

The M87 supermassive blackhole is thousands of times as massive as Sagittarius A*, but since Sagittarius A* is a lot closer their emission rings appear roughly the same size in the sky (42 μas vs 51 μas). Both have already been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Horizon_Telescope

Perhaps a [Satire] note should be added to the headline.

Yes usually, since an important aspect of steganography is error correction. For example we know that SynthID is robust enough to survive resizing and small blurs.

Even if you remove a watermark, the companies still have a record of which images they have generated and for whom. Even if you remove the obvious watermarks, all major image generators are using steganography to embed hidden information that you can't be sure were removed. This is a type of one-sided arms race where one player gets to be invisible if they want to.

I have been using Nvidia on Linux for years and am able to run 95%+ of my library on Steam.

It has been my experience that this is currently the case. I haven't had to even open protondb or search for a workaround in over a year. The only titles I know that don't work are a handful of multiplayer games that have intentionally disabled linux support.

They integrated Pocket as a proprietary service in their open source product 2 years before Mozilla acquired it. Removing the integration required editing about:config. The complaints were mostly during that time.

> Does a faster moving black hole cause more or less damage to a target?

When a black hole accretes matter, the matter can create tremendous radiation before it crosses the event horizon due to the atoms experiencing many effects such as rapid nuclear fusion and becoming new forms of matter such as neutronium. The precise amount of energy released depends on spin, charge, and size of the black hole, and the speed at which the matter approaches the black hole.

If a tiny black hole (Let's say 10cm across) ripped through the earth at significant speed it would be like the center of the planet momentarily became the center of a star and (hand waving a bunch of assumptions) the total energy could easily be greater than the gravitational binding energy of the planet. The planet would explode.

The black hole in the paper is also ~7 solar masses. If that passed between the Earth and the Moon it would rip apart the earth from just the tidal forces.
