He was probably expecting a letter from the start and knew that time is limited. geohot may not care about laws and ethics, but there is no way he doesn't know about all the possible consequences he may face in a project like comma.ai.

The first thing you learn when playing with genetic algorithms is that the mutation rate has a major influence on the outcome. Evolution doesn't work if the rate is too high or too low and within the working range it also shows a posit

It have to agree with the parent, it definitely looks like a display or a projection surface oscillating in the vertical direction. I'm really curious if they opted for a display or a projector. A display is heavy but it might be possi

The 'green eye' card slot show in the video is actually designed like this in order to make it harder to hide a skimming device in the slot. It doesn't help though, ATM skimming is just so lucrative that they can easily spend

That's a really nice application of AI! I find it especially interesting because it would work actively against a group of people to improve the live of others. I think that we can all agree that spam is bad, but still... it has very
