A large number of apprenticeships in Germany are in the metal and electronics industry. Check out the list [0] (in German). In fact, most jobs listed there are performed in factories, with desk-jobs being second. 0: https://de.wi

I'd like to think it's because WW2 changed us, for the better. We just want to build great things now and help everyone and not only ourselves. We respect others, independent of race or nationality, and it think we're much le

The greatest problem right now is our hardware, not our software. We can always devise secure encryption schemes without backdoors. Nobody can do anything against it. Our hardware on the other hand... is probably backdoored already.

Display DPI - the problem that could've been solved more than a decade ago, but still isn't. Once you get it right on all layers you'll never be bothered by it again. It sometimes makes me sad that we still have to work with

All in all not a really in-depth article, but the author has some valid points. All parameters exposed by the browser should be variated, especially the scroll bar size which seems to be the real offender here. Not sure how the Tails [0] di

True, almost every remotely important page uses HTTPS now so the TOR traffic doesn't really stand out as much as it did a couple of years ago, but it still might look suspicious once you look at the overall bandwidth.

I've wondered that, too! Even considering the low complexity, that's a couple of 100k investment, at least. Can anyone here approximate the cost to re-produce this chip ten years ago? I mean, it's not very complex, but it is

Yes, it is a necessary part of an AI, but I still wouldn't dare to call it an "AI Algorithm". Overuse of the term poisons the actual AI research field, it's only use is to aid click bait.

You're right, I just checked out the older ARM Cortex, like M0 and such, and they don't look very complex. It probably get's messy once you have more advanced features like a cache, branch prediction, power saving etc. I real

Honestly, after reading the title I was hoping for an article describing a full reverse engineering :(. Still very interesting nonetheless, good work!

Nice article. Unbelievable how simple this chip is. Try reverse engineering an ARM Cortex, Intel i7 or a Geforce 10 GPU, you'll never understand how it works completely, even if if you have a billion dollars to spend.

Yes, I know it's a hard problem. Tesseract (the OCR library that is used in this project) is in development since 1985, but even google doesn't dare to call it an AI algorithm. OCR is of course a part that is required to build an

Extracting characters from an image and comparing them to a database of known fonts using a naive distance metric can be called AI? Really?

Please stop using "AI" to describe simple algorithms like this. This has nothing to do with the field of artificial intelligence. The code just extracts individual characters from the image and compares them visually to a prepared

Wow you are right. Given your example, Google Translate doesn't recognize the gender of the police officer at all. It didn't even get "sens" correct, it translated it to "means" instead of "direction"
