IIRC peripheral neurons can heal, as in, if you cut off a finger and you sew it back on, you can regain feeling in the finger. But CNS neurons have very limited healing ability, which is why spinal cord injuries are so difficult to treat. T

WPA3 is definitely not as secure as wireguard, but it's a pretty good improvement compared to WPA2. 99% of people just use the defaults of their WiFi deployment, and then have stuff like network printers or NAS on there, with varying l

WPA3 provides among other things perfect forward secrecy. If your WPA2 password becomes available to a passive attacker that has listened in for the entire communication including the handshake, they will now be able to decrypt. Or in other

You are right that most places I know about turn off 3G instead of 2G, mostly because of embedded users relying on 2G. Switzerland on the other hand decided to turn off 2G while keeping 3G running (for now): https://www.comcom.ad

The best marketing for AV1 is the horrible mess of HEVC licensing (and the way higher price). It's hard to lower your price when you are free but when your paid alternative increases its price (actually paid price plus the risk) it is

Yeah usually the TLS libraries used by XMPP clients don't check SCTs. Not even all browsers do it. Chrome does it, Firefox does not for example.

Yes but there is transformative work involved in the process, which is what the model does. It's not a non-transformative simple display of the work (say when I show a movie), but deeply transformative.

Regarding the one runtime point, I want to counter that it is also advantageous to not hardcode one runtime in std. This allows one to use different runtimes on webassembly. This has bitten the official async go implementation for example:

That's for the encoding part. The 0day we are talking about was in the webp decoder, and decoders generally are the riskier component compared to encoders. I'm not sure if Chrome ships with the webp encoder at all.

A rewrite of a webp decoder into Rust already exists (image-rs has a decoder for webp). I'm sure there is some polishing needed but it's nothing a company the size of Google can't afford.
