For the vast majority of crypto currencies tracing the transactions is trivial. And even currencies like XMR are hardly as anonymous as people think. The challenging regulations around technically anonymous crypto currencies require you to

Sure, if you want to read the messages, but the whole point is that that's rarely necessary and the price isn't worth the minimal gain. Of the serious criminals, the only ones you'll be catching are those with low technical k

I experimented with Cuckoo tables a lot, but sadly never managed to beat quadratic probing. It's honestly quite depressing just how hard beating "having your data right next to each other" is. The one thing Cuckoo tables can

Why would the malware industry benefit from digital message privacy? If you're the victim, just hand over the relevant chats yourself. Otherwise, just follow the money. And if the attackers are sitting in a country whose banks you can&

With very few exceptions, politicians do know perfectly fine what they are doing. Each of them has a large budget to hire several staffers presenting every issue to them in ways they understand best, each government has a huge apparatus of

No offense, but an org-mode user's opinion about Latex is about equivalent to a Masochist's opinion on letting your child play with Lego in the living room.

The technical aspects of the software aren't the problem. Convincing enough people to adopt your app before you're getting a great deal on a 20sqft studio apartment is.

I always find it very ironic people apply the "don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence" principle to politicians, who are part of the government. Have you ever had a really great mentor or teacher who

If you had quoted but one more sentence by accident, you might have included the study that counted individual graves in and around Mariupol: "According to a 2023 study by Human Rights Watch and two other organizations, there were at l

Compare it to the 2022 Ukraine war. For more than a year almost all the fighting happened in densely populated areas, with many such shorter phases before and since. And Soviet-stock bombs just aren't as precise and unguided rocket art

Nuclear power plants aren't inherently any more unsafe than the nuclear material itself before having been mined. What makes them potentially unsafe is nuclear technology having an incredible energy density, which can be misused and th

Rethink isn't quite ready yet. Depending on your use case you can go without getting thrown off by a bug for weeks, but when it fails it can be quite annoying. And don't use the GPlay version, but the FDroid or GitHub one. On the

Hey, I'll reply later to noman-land's comment below, but progress is kinda slow. It takes more time than expected to categorize this many channels and I stopped yesterday after having sorted a bit over 500 and have barely reached

Most Germans wouldn't be able to recognize Nazism if it was doing the harlem shake on their dining table. Mention to them that the only way Communism and Nazism differ is Nazism following Engel's nationalist approach to overthrowi

I disagree. I like playing around in Rust, but it is near impossible to reason about what instructions will end up being fed to your CPU without having the compiler emit the underlying assembly. And that makes it very difficult to understan

IMO it's a joke. Like Rossmann refusing to call his wiki the "Consumer Protection Wiki".

People dislike the unreliability and not being able to reason about potential failure scenarios. Then there's the question whether a highly advanced AI is better at hiding unwanted "features" in your products than you are at

Not really. Umberto Enco's original 14 points were alreay quite questionable, but the author of this hot take altered them beyond recognition. There is a reason the author linked to a paywall instead of a freely available copy. Just re

Yup, just went with the $3 per GB formula. GPU should be about $200 at TSMC (400-450mm2). + about $150 for the pcb, cooler and other stuff, I didn't consider Times a 1.6 to 1.75 factor if they like actually being profitable (operations

They should drop a $600 card with 128gb of vram. This is just barely possible without losses on every sale. And then just watch heads explode.
