I normally go by the title, but a little (and brief) explanation is nice. Not longer than what you wrote above. - a short summary of what this is (am I interested?) - intended use case / users (is it for me?) - unfinished work (where t

Nice side-channel attack. Was surprised to see that 21 pizzas was a record for the CIA. Isn’t that quite a large office with round-the-clock work?

Cool. The demos see. To be mostly about grabbing. Would be great if it also helps to maintain flight direction, like a squirrel tail. But probably difficult to test in weightless conditions on a student project budget.

Cool. I only knew about the lava lamps. How random are the pendulums and how are they powered? Pendulums are usually quite predictable. Or are these double pendulums? They add randomness by adding daylight. Could you use this for an attack

This came up on HN a while ago already. I tried it out and found that quadrupedal lying (fig 5) did help my lower back pain.

Putting my conspiratorial hat on, this leak seems to be designed to bolster Trump’s tough-on-China image. They know that the current administration can’t comment so nobody knows how it is going and if this is a bi-partisan activity.

Oh yes. For everyone who is collaboratively editing texts, track changes is a much used function. Also the diff to create so-called redline versions. And commenting. Sharepoint also tracks all versions automatically which is quite handy. Ha

It’s funny how emotional discussions about UI choices are. I liked the article and its demonstrations because I learnt something. Personally, I switch off animations whenever possible, preferring snappy action over flashy effects. But they

Very good question. As a non-astronomer, my guess is that we don’t observe a lot of transient black outs for example of the milky way. Which would happen if there’s a lot of these around. That gives you an upper bound of how many objects li

Good analysis. I think the strongest point is the ne about the baseline — 60% of people not caring about politics, which the graph doesn’t show. That triggers the data-vizualization nerd in me. How can this be vizualized?

Which would be the end of progress. Even if AI is capable of taking away some if the drudgery we still need people who understand the structures and methodology to develop something new. Not to mention creating the next generation of AI chi

It’s a good idea. I am usually a bit pessimistic about it though. If their SOP doesn’t account for “looks like phishing but is from internal sender” then chances are that nobody connects the dots and informs that sender. The intelligence of

Interesting study. It’s not about “dislike” or “better money” but central banks’ (democratic) mandate for a balanced monetary policy, which gets more challenging if you have large capital flows via crypto. > This underscores that widespr

My theory is that every technology goes through a period of experimentation before it’s clear how it should be employed. That’s why we had project plowshare for the bomb and now internet connectivity for every imaginable device, even ones t

Fully agree. Just using it for consumption is also very unimaginative. I look forward to seeing developers explore the potential of spacial interactions that are different than just strapping a 2d display on your head.
