I worked for a digital signage place in 2012. I coded something which pretented to be a web browser with the NSPlugin interface. Then I loaded the Linux Flash plugin in that, and iterated frame by frame, and encoded the frames with ffmpeg t

Are you sure we have fully comprehended the current situation?

It seems that article only mentions the Beirut explosion in passing?

There has been an awful lot of "academic" skirmishes involving real live fire in that conflict over the years. Each one of these is playing a little with fire. Sometimes, things escalate for no rational reason.

You may also loose your only chance to do damage that way. An incoming ICBM might get a response before it’s exact target is known.

Yes, what’s your point exactly? It’s still a bargaining chip.

The judiciary is not independent, so it's a moot point anyways. VPN use will just be used as another signal that you are possibly an enemy of the state.

High quality archival of web pages for the long term. Who knows how difficult it will be to get them to render properly in X years to come, even the webpages themselves were stored. Imagine having for instance every archive.org link complem

Meh, you only need a little imagination to scan in 3D. Instead of a disc, use a glass cylinder, mounted excentrically on an axis. (The actual glass cylinder doesn't even have to be excentric for this to work, because the data can be ex

True superresolution is impossible, but a heck of a lot of resolution is hidden in video, without resorting to guesses and hallucination. Tiny camera shakes on a static scene gives away more information about that scene, it's effective

I think my classmate might have read your dissertation in 1994 possibly. Were you cited or inspired magazine articles?

It is normal, but it's kind of disappointing that from my (uneducated) vantage point, we don't seem to be at all closer to AGI than we were in 1994. It's like the difference between Kitty Hawk and a Boeing airliner. Yes, th

My classmate wrote back-propagating neural nets on his Amiga 1200 in 1994. We had pretty high hopes back then. I and I think many others sort of assumed we would have had General AI by now. Or at least going in that direction. Another class

Why bother with radiation protection, just run the cooling open cycle with the river water and pollute downstream. It wouldn’t need closing for operational reasons. Just stating a fact.

People are vetting Signal, so unless you are the target of a directed attack against you, you are better off. The Crypto AG phones were from a different era.
