I'm not aware of any attacks based on the primes that roll out of the inverse base64 algo, I just added that as a precaution.

I did something similar some time ago, targeting base64 representation instead of cpu instructions: https://ondergetekende.nl/vanity-rsa-public-key.html There's quite a bit of room in an RSA key for arbitrary contents,

I played nomic once. Pretty early in the process, someone proposed something akin to gerrymandering, effectively preventing over a third of the players from having their vote counted. Although that proposal didn't pass (a few of the pr

It is both incredibly hot due to solar radiation, and extremely cold, due to the lack of atmosphere to transfer heat. The sun-side of this parasol will be all melty, while the shade side will be extraordinarily chilly. Whatever it is made o

For most consumers, there is no good way to know ahead of time if tge device pulls DRM shenanigans. It's not on the packaging, and there is no online database of this kind of things. Reddit threads are too full of technobabble to compr

I'm not ver familiar with Temu. Are these shady practices documented somewhere, and are they worse than industry peers (aliexpress, wish, overseas ebay, etc)?

How does storing more copies of the same texture save ram? Of course one can drop the higher resolution textures, but AFAIK that technique came long after mipmapping, as it requires high cpu-to-gpu bandwidth, which wasn't there in the

Netherlands might work for them then. 15% of people here don't speak Dutch well enough to use it as a primary language, and this is generally accepted.

Not sure you can compare humans and AI this way. It is quite possible that humans have coping mechanisms that AI does not (yet?) have. Or to put it in your analogy, If I feed my cat milk, they'll throw up. That doesn't mean milk i

I really like the idea of separating storage from hardware. Unfortunately this relies on having Qemu installed on every machine you intend to use. Many machines don't fit that bill.

For a substantial part, Tesla stock is not valued based on its underlying fundamentals, but on its polularity as a David vs Goliath story, and on Elons charisma/character. The latter two won't likely yield actual value, so financi

Having your books off by a few percent is indeed quite common. However, missing 20% on your primary source of income is not the norm. If a company would report that nowadays, it would trigger a money laundering investigation.

Does this logic extend to /parts of software/? Most lines of code are not UIs, so they are not used by humans, meaning they should be tested by machines? Do we consider webbrowsers to be humans here?

With this response omitting so many relevant details, it is hard not to dismiss it as baseless anti-EV FUD.

With the article omitting so many things (the nature of the damage, description of the symptoms, response from manufacturer or repair shop, comparison to other incidents), it is hard not to dismiss this as anti-EV FUD.

Someone would need to implement a library to abstract away the differences between all of these platforms, like Spin does for server software. I'm not aware of a tech stack that does that.

After lithium extraction, there's still a brine with roughly the same salt concentration, but likely with more other pollutants. You'd just be kicking the problem down the road.
