I believe it's hardly different from trying to deduce perfect distances from multiple rulers of dubious precision: you need to compare them to one of extreme precision. Arranging 4 rulers into a perfect square proves that they have equ

But it seems unnecessary given the existence of its laws. For example, CFAA makes unauthorized use of a computer system illegal regardless of whether the system communicates it. Perhaps these messages originated prior to the CFAA, in which

Search for "Hikvision compromised" though. The results are damning. I suppose there's not much of a concern if using a proper firewall on a managed network, however.

Confiscation (and punative consequences) of contraband impacting the immediate safety of passengers should be the only result of submission to warrantless searches at an airport. If there's a warrant (for search or for arrest) then go

With this context, it seems as though correction-by-LLM might be a net win among your Deaf/HoH friends even if it would be a net loss for you, since you're able to correct on the fly better than an LLM probably would, while the op

I think we just have a tendency to anthropomorphize things that are a bit too complicated to understand fully. Like a child calling the clutch mechanism in a yo-yo a "brain" for example. It's not that the yo-yo can really thi

I was looking at laptops recently, and I noticed that the marketing blurbs on product pages are really getting extreme with the AI stuff in a weird SEO-like way. For example, this is on Costco's page for an Acer: > AI Ready for Tomo

The fact that any bank would advertise "FDIC insured" is silly, as it conditions potential customers to look to the banks for this information. It would be better if folks were conditioned to consult only the FDIC themselves for t

When you say "normally," do you mean all else being equal except no black hole? Or substitute an opaque mass for the black hole?

It's almost certainly insolation (sol, not sul). UV/IR rejecting film on the windows might help, given mild enough winters that blocking it year round is fine. Check out https://youtu.be/uhbDfi7Ee7k If you can fin

I believe this is the spirit of the "solved problem" comment: not that the solution is an off-the-shelf widget, but that if it has ever been solved, then that solution could technically be used again, even if organizing the right

Yeah, I think a sizable portion of people who are ultimately worth keeping around will occasionally go off in this ostensibly toxic manner, such that one would be quite lonely running away from them all. If it gets to be overwhelming, sure,

Yes, ideally this distinction can be made. But a piece of information you consider secret, if known by more than exactly one person, is merely obscure information.
