I was hoping for some QRP (low-power) transmissions... but not. I just looked quickly at the video, but as far as I understand they used 500 W of output power and 8-m dishes. People are doing EME (bouncing signals on the moon) on the same f

That's the reason I'm using Lazarus, even if I prefer programming in C++ rather than Pascal... it's basically like VB6, you can design a form, associate code to events and make an application is seconds. It also has database

> You can turn the RPi itself into an FM transmitter. Never tried it, but given the way it works, you definitely need some output filtering unless you accept to pollute all harmonics of your channel (which might be licensed spectrum too,

I guess the idea is more not to attract attention in case of a random search, rather than plausible deniability. The phone couldn't operate as a phone... (nor the speaker, as far as I understand it).

I do (and I guess I'm not alone...) -- have IPv6 exposed machines over a HE.net tunnel. Some of the things are ONLY accessible over IPv6 (because nobody needs them over IPv4, so that's enough).

Yes but you can't launch it from far away...

Actually, the loss can be useful, I wouldn't want to inject the full output power of the transmitter into a receiver... ok it's maybe just 100 mW but still... that's not the power level a receiver expects to get from an anten

Looks like it works, but I think that it is far from being optimal. CATV coax usually has an impedance of 75 Ohms, while the antennas of routers (and most RF stuff, except TV) are usually 50 Ohm. If impedance was right, the signal would pro

Right now it tells me "Dishwasher soap is not intended for consumption and can be harmful if ingested." Not sure if I used a different prompt before, or if I was lucky.

I also asked about a recipe with mushrooms, tea, and dishwasher soap. It happily gave me one... mentioning at some point "Add the dishwasher soap to the tea, if desired. The soap will help to release the flavor of the mushrooms and giv

Is this _only_ figerprinting then? If the profiles are different, do they manage to extract some UID from the profile (which I would assume is a bug in the browser), or do they store data client-side using persistent storage APIs?

But, as someone mentioned in another comment, the fact that we can detect a 1 m objects doesn't mean that we can detect all of them, far from that. Same for larger ones, we just have more chances of detecting those than 1 m-sized ones.

Other than this, dynamic typing is a big culprit. I can't find back the article with the numbers, but its performance overhead is enormous.

It depends on what you're doing. If you load some data, process it with some Numpy routines (where speed-critical parts are implemented in C) and save a result, you can probably be almost as fast as C++... however if you write your alg
