I think this is about as likely as practical fusion power being created by hobbyists.

It is a fun read IMO. Not exactly a page turner but engaging and well written.

Biome already gets pretty close.

Then CI cluster has 100x the core count of my laptop, so yes.

Assuming you don't store the salts, this produces a value that is useless for anything but counting something like DAU. Which you could equally just do by counting them all and deleting all the data at the end of the day, or using a ca

Even then it is theatre because if you know the IP address you want to check it's trivial to see if there's a match.

The processing capability of the drones is not that high. In the future we will likely have much higher autonomous capabilities in drones but we are not there today.

No mention of jamming technology at all? FPV drones all operate in a fairly narrow bit of 5GHz, it seems like it would be quite easy to jam the video feeds at the very least.

In an era of 10Gb NICs in every server very few things are really IO bound.

They didn't kill any cats but also as a long term and very loving cohabiter with multiple cats, they are just cats. Animal cruelty is a serious problem because it makes some people miserable to see them suffer and the ones it doesn&#x2

I followed 3000 people and read and posted most days. Haven't even opened the app since the logo changed. Most of the people I interacted with are now on Mastodon. I guess we just have different circles.

I'm not sure electric cars quicker is a good thing unless it is somehow also a faster path to less cars.

The existence of Shopify seems to contradict this. There are tons of successful Shopify stores that use non-Amazon distribution services.

Why do you need to sell on Amazon at all? Surely that is where the problem is?

If Lenovo hadn't ended up 10 years behind Apple in display technology I'd probably never have made the jump to Apple and would still be using one today.

This doesn't really add up to me. If a currently in progress trial is corrupt, we can prevent the harm that a corrupt outcome will cause before it happens. If you have to wait 5 years to discover that the trial was corrupt then we get

The Linux kernel is stuffed full of potentially patent encumbered code.

Zstd no longer comes with a patent grant which I guess makes it kind of hard to actually use for some people.

It's quite interesting that someone would make an account on HN just to come and argue the government side on this.

No it would be an indication that Apple like money more than the privacy and safety of their users which would not be entirely surprising.

And yet Apple killed CSAM scanning months after this paper was published. Perhaps because the paper does nothing (and admits as much) to counter the issues that Apple raised about actually building and operating such a technology safely. I

I was obviously being rhetorical. "Fixable in practice" is really not a sufficient rebuttal when the people tasked with actually building this stuff have given clear and specific reasons why building this stuff safely is impossibl

Ofcom are about to start a consultation with industry to figure out how to apply such vague laws.

by __alexs 3y ago
Subject matter experts have unanimously said such a technology is not possible to implement safely.

I think you can probably get away with only breaking one pair of knees and sending a video of it to the other people.

Scam: A thing where someone says you'll get one thing, but you instead of you get something (or nothing) of lower value. Tether: Claim your USDT is backed by reserves. Fined for making misleading and untrue statements about their reser
