The problem with outsourcing the risk components is that you don't know for sure whether they are properly taken care of. Major cloud providers have been caught "oopsing" your data, and bam it is gone. Furthermore, they have

I wonder if 1.7 petabytes of data (1T indexed records) could fit on a single (very) beefy baremetal server for under a couple thousand dollars a month, served by SQLite. Like this: https://use.expensify.com/blog/scaling

Can LLM’s invent a new simple algorithm like this which it has never seen before? I tried to induce ChatGPT to invent this algorithm, giving it hints along the way, but it came up with something else that I’m unsure is correct. Then again,

It is worded as an accusation for what might’ve been an innocent mistake. Look how many times the author uses the word “weird”, a very subjective word to use in a seemingly technical analysis.

Keep in mind this is likely a hit piece in a press war. Telegram and Signal regularly attack each other, accusing the other of security and privacy failures. The number of times the author uses subjective words like “weird” and “bizarre” in

Sure, but there's a limited amount of information available from a satellite image. It's hard to tell what's going on inside a building, for example.

> mapping an adversary is comparatively trivial and cheap today Sorry what? Mapping is not anything close to trivial or cheap, even today. Apple took 4 years just to build a map of the SF Bay Area. Nor is it fixed or rapid, in an active

Maybe GJC2 can be modified on the fly, by changing offset parameters? So in a hypothetical war situation, only providers obtaining data in realtime from "authorized" sources would have access to accurate targeting information.

Pretty insane for you to believe that a foreign country from afar could produce mapping data with the same degree of accuracy, detail and realtime freshness as a local provider on the ground. Of course there's military value in protect

I’m sorry, but as a digital nomad living out of hotels and AirBnBs, the Vision Pro is indispensable. I would not be productive without it. Mac Virtual Display is way better than lugging around a monitor in my luggage, which is what I used t

I wonder if the US has the appetite for an all-out war with Iran. Could jeopardize 1/3rd of the world's oil production and drive the price of everything to levels never seen before. Furthermore, it would mean fighting on multiple

I'm not sure it is safe to build wealth anywhere, anymore, although the US is the country I chose to register my company in, because it is probably the safest. Still, I have my reservations. Petty theft like shoplifting is being increa

Bingo. Also see the "AI" system used by Israel to target "Hamas". "It's not us, it's the AI".

For me, the real story here is not about losing some newspaper archives. The real story here is to show how broken the system is right now. Is this even a human society anymore? Where SEO link farms and AI-generated junk replace local commu

I suspect the inconvenience and weirdness of dealing with a hard cut-off is easier than the complexity of dealing with some kind of continuous scale. Laws need to be, first of all, easily comprehensible so that all parties can plan accordin

This is essentially a debate on legal interpretation. There are 3 traditional approaches: 1. Common law (determined by precedent), the UK system. 2. Civil law (determined by textual interpretation of a code), the US system. 3. Qadi law. (de

I don't think this explains it. As the original article said, The DOD offers manufacturers 15-year contracts to guarantee profitability and that still isn't enough to ramp up capacity fast enough, or even meet demand on a multi-ye

None of this explains HOW is it that the Russians are able to produce artillery shells at 7 times the rate of the entire Western world, while being sanctioned? If they can do it, why can't we? [1] https://www.businessinsider

But you can have one floating macOS window (for your workhorse app) and then infinite other visionOS and iPadOS windows. For me, that’s good enough, most of my other monitors are just Safari tabs or something that can be replaced with iPad
