The film is about us not accepting a clone for the original. The massive irony is that the film is likely going to generate the same response from the commenters.

If you are renting a car abroad then check your travel insurance as it may cover any excesses. The one I just bought for the UK covers up to $5000 excess so exceeds the CDW. Of course I always do a once around the car with the phone before

Its sometimes fun re-inventing the wheel, at least you get to understand it all better.

The LilyGo T-Embed CC1100 has similar hardware capabilities of the FlipperZero plus WiFi/bluetooth and runs the Bruce Pentest firmware all for under half the price of the flipper. The Bruce firmware works well on it but is not as polis

I think setting up your own evil-proxy or evil-wifi-hotspot and periodically connecting your phone to them may help in the detection of these and many other phone home malware. I am getting closer to the paranoia threshold to almost give it

Had similar thoughts a few years back ( https://rodyne.com/?p=1439 ) when considering worst case scenarios after a local factory lost two days production due to a server failure at an IT supplier.

Hard challenges are good and setbacks are to be expected if you are pushing every limit. I would love to be on such a fast moving team with such a massive payoff if they succeed.

Until I got my Kobo this was my preferred method. Shame the Kobo does not have such a feature.

Weirdly complex to read yet light on key technical details. My TLDR (as an old clueless electronics engineer) was the compute part is photonic/analog, lasers and waveguides, yet we still require 50 billion transistors performing the (I

As a tool or an adversary? As a tool I have found it useful a couple of times for difficult plot elements like in my last book I wanted to know if I spelt a real word on an old numeric keypad (the ones with 3 or 4 letters on the number key)

I expect the predictions for fusion back in the 1950's and 1960's generated similar essays, they had not got to ignition but the science was solid; the 'science' with moving from AGI to ASI is not really that solid yet w

I think a better way to read this philosophy is trust in Allah but tie up your camel to be sure. We must rely on well written software but even software with no bugs would have to rely on hardware with no bugs and everything from power blip

and the author of course is only sampling a very tiny dataset of the works pushed by the algorithm. Many authors like me will never get on their radar.

Unfortunately, English-as-a-programming-language * is now a thing and there will be a lot of bad/dangerous/untested code being used in real situations going forward. * Not just English, substitute any other human language into the

I think it was a headline similar to this, and the subsequent rabbit-holes I went down a few years ago that ended up as a my last techno-thriller novel.

It looks pretty good and I encourage you to keep up the good work. you should also team up with a manufacturing or 3D printer company (like EasyEDA did for PCB production) and make it as simple as a few clicks to get your creation manufactu

A Lot of these physics papers are interesting but ultimately just noise. An untested Theory is NOT fact, it's just someone (with or without a PhD) pulling something out of their arse that might explain things. Most of cosmology and phy

Think Bigger. As the LLM's capability expands use it to push yourself outside your comfort zone every now and then. I have done some great fun projects recently I would have never thought of tackling before
