We really need an "absurd level of clickbait" button on HN, to burry such headlines.

The real question is whether or not we will get quality reporting from the courts! Hopefully someone goes to jail over this.

Exactly. Seriously underwhelming for just grandiose announcements, yet it doesn't matter.

It's not updated because it "doesn't work" - no one who "believes in Elon" actually cares that he is bullshitting. Remember when Trump failed to build a wall, and somehow no one noticed? A nation with 11 nuclea

Be careful with this, because when you overdose on category theory you can end up (co)designing the first practical method of deleting not just a neighbourhood, but all humans from the planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Do you remember when cryptography export was controlled? It was implemented by limiting key size to certain number of (effective) bits (of security). This suite is just a victim of that law, as it is a 1990s design.

It's cheap propaganda for internal purposes. Everyone spies on everyone. Like there are, IDK, Czech Republic spies in the US. Discovery of "friendly" spies is handled gracefully - no one gets killed, no one gets jumped in a b

Another fun exercise is to announce IPv6 in a network that's designed to be IPv4 only (IPv6 is announced via its own protocol rather than via DHCP, though you can also use DHCPv6 if you want to). High chances that the switches will not

To be fair these days you need to spoof it in at least two locations around the world - they will query you from at least two locations. But yeah, it is bootstrapping security out of seemingly nowhere.

It baffles me that people don't realize just how bad it is in non democratic countries. Russia has FSB extorting shop owners for protection money, and even an occasional assassination is nothing particularly interesting there. Chinese

No, Tailscale creates both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity over .. well pretty much anything. If there's IPv4 - it will use it, if there's IPv6 - it will use it. If there's some traversable NAT - it will use it. I think we should

Why is the defence industry so much more intense when it comes to checking parts? Is it mostly because it may be years or decades between purchase and usage?

3blue1brown has recently released good YouTube videos on phase velocity. Question: how do I check group velocity in media, to know how fast information traverses through that media? For example in water - how long does it take for my waterp

In particular you can see just how much better (in terms of quality / resolution, not latency) the thermal vision is. Absolutely not surprising that they're trying to merge the two solutions to get the best of both worlds - fast u

Yes but it's by consent from Israel and the US, i.e. they would rather have the lines of communication open via a functioning state than via some shady Muslim Brotherhood branches in some lawless zone. Hamas leaders live just a few mil

While I understand your point, I think it's important to note that the significance of this research isn't just about the technique used, but also the implications. The ability of AI chatbots to "jailbreak" other chatbot

If you do enough measurements on that new prompt then I don't see why this shouldn't be a paper. People overestimate the value of "grand developments", and underestimate the value of actually knowing - in this case actua

There were multiple assassination attempts at Zelensky, they just failed. Allegedly he was even protected at some point by foreign commandos (possibly French), but this is still rumours. There were also kill lists found when the russian arm

Egyptian intelligence knew about it and warned. Moreover there were detailed plans known already about a year earlier: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-h... This is kind of

There is some problem there though - peacefully using nuclear power creates plutonium, which could be later extracted.

Zigbee with its meshing is extremely reliable in pretty much all home setups I could think of. It works quite a lot better than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Therefore I am not sure it is actually needed to have a separate physical protocol which can

A much easier way to achieve this goal is to get an FM transmitter - a device that reads audio from Bluetooth or minijack and broadcasts it at low power over wideband FM. They cost around $10-$50.

Lasers are, unfortunately, still a planned weapon. And they have some un-correctable problems, for example they don't work in a fog, and their maximum effective range is very small. Carrier strike groups rely entirely on Aegis for defe

I do wonder if it would be easier if, say, 3% of people were simply fired each year, perhaps with a 1-3 month notice. It would save the pointless back and forth effort, you wouldn't have to pretend it's about improvement, and the

When you reach the effective pay/level ceiling you can also decide to play along and wreck a little havoc by for example letting the asshole say too much in meetings or on corporate parties. It's a fine balancing game, where your

I wonder if it would be OK to use Copilot. I use it all the time, and I think it's just a vastly superior autocomplete that should always be allowed.
