Would love to know if anyone monitors their home or office RF spectrum for unexpected guests, or just for fun. I’ve played around with hackRF and it seems like that type of scanning is something you might do in highly sensitive environments

For their craptastic router you could downgrade the firmware, use an old exploit to root, extract the keys, and then use those keys on your own Linux box to authenticate as the router… For the fiber ONT (what I realize now you may be callin

I just listened to a podcast episode about this, basically celery cured just means “naturally found” nitrites… which are the same thing as artificial nitrites… they’re just nitrites. (Disclaimer: not a chemist) https://podcasts.a

I am equally curious. Fatty liver can be a consequence to high alcohol consumption, but people can also have NAFLD. My guess (IANADr) is that alcohol leads to excessive build up of fat in their bodies. NAFLD is also highly correlated with d

Sigh… It’s interesting that they blame the ML models, on the one hand it seems like a perfect example of ML gone wrong, on the other hand losses at this scale (hundreds of millions) don’t just signal that some data scientist’s model was not

I’ve just finished reading Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty , and I highly recommend it. An amazing multi generational history of how the Sacklers inflicted opioids on the US, made a fortune, and got away with no co

Haha thank you for noticing! Gun for hire here ;) Typing the domain into the url box is exactly what I did a week ago (game 3 or so of the series), and it seemed like too good of a chance to pass up, so I bought it. I had fun pondering the

would anyone agree that being a professional programmer encourages this type of OCD behavior? I enjoy getting lost in the code/algorithms/craft, but sometimes I'm afraid of going all in for fear it's not so healthy/

Amazing story, to think that this type of expertise has been lost and now the US is struggling to kick start domestic chip production.

Sure, at the invention/research step, after that’s done it’s all about sequencing the exact series of steps (robots following the recipe) to get to the output.

Yes, with passengers I feel like it makes people nervous with all the beeping (I’d rather sounds on than disable it). It’s why I’ve leaned towards only using it on hwy driving after getting a feel for it. It would be nice if it would engage

Yes, that wall looks like the type of pattern that would trigger the false positives. High visual noise or something. The street view shows pretty well why it might be hard, the shadows on pavement and the wall. I think it might also be con
