For the most part I think it's fair to say they are artistic representations, though one of the first images on the page is the Sacks spiral[1]. Also for whatever it's worth the artist[2] has a PhD in Computation Biology. [1]: ht

This is a very confusingly written article. It repeatedly refers to Rekognition as a Palantir product, but it is in fact an AWS offering[1]. This is much clearer in the ACLU article they link to [2], which makes no reference to Palantir. [1

Can you describe a situation where an adversary would be able to run user code on a phone's baseband processor? This is a serious question - I don't know anything about smartphones. Do apps have access to the baseband processor? A

I live a couple of blocks from the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, which isn't too far from the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. It's funny to compare to all of the buildings on the east coast named after Rockefel

We initially went that route but changed for a couple of reasons: 1. The performance of bind mounted host volumes in Docker for Mac was pretty disappointing. We found our initial builds were substantially (~3x?) slower inside a (volume moun

This looks interesting, but having to perform a Docker image build (even if most layers are cached) as part of your iteration loop seems potentially slow. We use minikube to run local stacks but have been using telepresence[1] to swap out s

The short answer is that this definition of addition is defined so that under this operation elliptic curves form a group[0]. There is a field of mathematics called abstract algebra concerned with algebraic structures like groups. I would a

It's possible Hawking was able to type/write his thesis. It was published in 1965, two years after his ALS diagnosis. Wikipedia says he didn't begin to use crutches until the late 1960s.

With regards to the first part of your question - as long as the signal is bandlimited the Nyquist-Shannon theorem applies. If all of the waves are under 20kHz, regardless of how they're interfering with each other, the signal can be r

The Dockerfile language has some very frustrating limitations. One I've found frequently frustrating is the inability to do any sort of globbing on COPY commands. This can make it very difficult to do some types of layer optimizations.

This may partly be Stockholm syndrome, but I'm actually somewhat fond of Gradle (a Groovy DSL for configuring builds/managing dependencies for Java projects). It's certainly not perfect and I think it would be overkill for si

Again, I don't think Java is a good beginner programming language, but this version: 1. Avoids try/catch syntax, and in fact can defer mentioning exceptions entirely (at the cost of the "throws" declaration being a myste

I agree. I don't believe Java is a good first programming language. I'm just tired of posts bashing Java by citing code that doesn't take advantage of any of the improvements in the language since 1.4.
