   I am not a cryptographer. At a quick inspection this kind of thing would result in pretty bad encryption. A hash of each word (unless salted with a different salt each time, defeating the purpose) is easily broken, even if the hash is a cry

   So, do we think this is "real", or is this just lawyers lawyering?

   Looks like that ruling was made in 1927. This absolutely needs to be overturned. At the risk of godwinning[1] myself, this is literally a Nazi policy. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

   "California is prepared to... pay... an estimated $25,000 each." What a joke. Compensation for state forced sterilization should be orders of magnitude greater than that. edit: P.s. How have these cases not gone to the supreme cou

   Written some 60 years ago, Information Theory and Coding by Abramson[1] is an absolute gem for those looking to get into info theory. The cover book [2] being the more complete resource (and somewhat of a grad level defacto standard text).

   This ~250 word "article" hardly counts as news, let alone to hn audience. How is this on the fp? Edit: mea culpa. I was looking at the paywalled version.

    I presumed this somehow summed radiation exposure.

    I don't think the other reply answered the question. Google trends show 10x as many queries from the UK than US for "schtum". So I would guess your intuition is correct.

    I was about to post with "how is this different from the various other vhdl / verilog risc v implementations", but saw the incredibly detailed datasheet. That alone is very impressive.

    Imho, D's choice to be garbage collected has prevented wider adoption (that's the case for my usage at least). And as a compiled gc language, it competes squarely with golang, something that's likely hard to do, given the cor

    1. I love it. I'll probably be buying it. 2. I'm a little surprised a font, and more specifically, a commercial, variable width font, made to the front page.

    This is a few years away. "Mamane believes that this technology is the future, adding that she expects that by 2025, it will be cost effective enough to become mainstream."

    dang, could you add "in mice" to the title? It's a little click-baity / disingenuous as-is.

    The usual disclaimer: these views are my own, and do not represent Makani, abc, etc. I was terribly disappointed the project was shutdown. The engineering problems were unique and challenging. And the team was absolutely world class. I felt

    That's not totally true. While there are certainly custom control laws and gains, almost everything is parameterized in terms of the kite's configuration. Edit: to clarify, I was responding to: "I'm not sure much here wi

    Not entirely true. The actual autopilot (the controller + estimator) runs on an imx6. The tms570 are the sensor / actuator nodes. Edit: just to add some detail. The autopilot and aio (avionics io, i.e. the tmd570s) communicate over a r

    This level of incompetence is exactly what I expect from the college board. They have no incentive to improve. They are a government funded "non profit" monopoly.
