PHM was much more ambitious in its scope than either. I enjoyed Artemis-- can't find too much fault in any book whose main character writes an extended love letter to welding-- but I enjoyed PHM much more.

Just a counterpoint, I loved Project Hail Mary. I wanted my time back after reading Children of time, and it's exceptionally rare that I feel that way about anything scifi. Tastes differ. ::shrugs::

Yeah, in particular, what happens when you install the same amount of ram in both and downclock the N150 to match the rpi performance? It's a bit of an odd comparison though because I don't think that rpi5 is particularly power ef

Correcting myself: It appears that many modern client devices (at least current Networkmanager in linux, iphones, and grapheneos) have a "hidden" flag on saved SSIDs and only probe for hidden ones, so the ancestor post is correct

And let me guess, this rule isn't eliminated if your property is isolated by a reduced pressure zone device? I assume that in your post "WA" means Western Australia -- as I can't imagine this kind of absurd protectionis

Why does any additional encryption need to be broken? Signal dark patterns users into using insecure few digit 'pins' to protect their data, then waves some SGX hokum around that as an argument as to why very short pins have acce

VN extrator is a specific case of a more general idea: When you independently (hard assumption of VN extractor) draw M times with N possibilities then you can extract entropy from their permutation. Assign some scheme for converting permut

They do that already... sum of all privacy losses. Any time you go out in public your devices are crying out looking for your home AP. If someone can figure out which are you, e.g. by seeing you multiple times in different places they can

People's privacy expactations are miscalculated in a world with LLMs. Before LLMs there was little reason to care if you were leaving breadcrumbs, because no one with access was going to investigate them and draw conclusions from them

Great link. It might be something I could share to wake some other people up. I dunno how tool use is setup in chat interface as I've only used the API, but I doubt there was ever a request to any of the urls and the author could hav

Not sure about that. Billionare Capitalists live in this world too. They might cause harm, sure, but that harm generally takes predictable form and is of finite magnitude. AI behavior on the other hand can cause under-informed users to do

It's worse because they're often more confident in the AI output than they ever were of the google results, and the results are not-infrequently-enough so bad that no human would have made that error. When they do doubt, they c

For whatever reason X11 shoving pixbufs over the network seems to have orders of magnitude better performance than actual RDP over a high speed network.
