What’s cool is that they dithered the images to voluntarily to make them as small (in bytes) as possible. So it’s visual nice but it also is coherent with their editorial and with the choice to host on a solar powered server. Everything is

The Airbus Beluga. Living near an Airbus factory I spot them frequently here. Impressive plane. Also pretty cute.

Well if it gives you an uptime of 80-110 years, that’s pretty useful.

It’s not dreaming that is tedious. My understanding is that the brain always dream but that you only remember your dreams if you wake up during them. So, remembering 4-6 dreams would mean that you wake up (probably unconsciously) multiple

No, in Europe we don’t use « state » because there is no federation. We use « country » and some countries does have subdivisions but apart Switzerland’s « cantons », they are rarely as autonomous as US’s « states ». There are other countri

That’s my point, yes. At least in the current state of affairs. Also it’s a technical view from someone who played/worked with AI for more than a year. It may not be the opinion of upper management :) And upper management can survive a

For now, my feelings are that AI can be really helpful if you know the field. You need to be senior to know how to ask things and to understand the answers. For anyone not understanding the domain, AI is just a glorified stack overflow but

Also Jared Owen which does an impressive work of 3D modeling to explain how things and places work. I’m amazed by the level of documentation you have to ingest to model things in such details.

They'll not ban anyone, the DMA allow fines up to 20% of the international revenue. I think there is enough room to enforce rules without banning anyone.

That’s nothing, suspend works 100% of the time when you close the lid if you clicked on Power off before closing. Ah, the joy of opening the lid the next day to see it waking up on the logout screen, then power off then you discover the bat

Also, gaming isn’t an issue anymore. I think when I started using Linux 20 years ago, Wine was already one of the most impressive "feature" of my first Linux distro (SuSE 9.2 from a magazine btw) and I’m still impressed by this pr

I honestly think it’s worse this time. Microsoft was in monopolistic position and yes it was a serious issue, but at least it was on standard computers. It was a de facto monopoly but you were mostly free to escape by removing Microsoft fr

eBay could have fixed this a long time ago. Most marketplaces (at least in my country) manage the shipping transparently (by taking the shipping fee and providing a pre paid label to the seller). Idk in the US but I know nobody who still us

I really don't know. I wouldn't be surprised that, on the entire planet, a niche market could exist that would want to pay the premium over say, giving an envelope to a notary. You could also change the business model to allow NOT

Yes. However, you could mitigate this by calculating hundreds of routes. But yes, you are right, that was just an interesting thought experiment before going to bed, I wasn't trying to revolutionize timelock encryption ;)

Thank you, I understand !

Because each node generates its own key pair and when encrypting a message you choose a random route and you use the keys of the nodes of your route to encrypt each layer.

by pjerem 3y ago
Why ? If you wrap the message into multiple layers of encryption (TOR style) that needs to go into multiple nodes, and if alongside the next encrypted layer you have a date the nodes agrees to wait to pass the message to another node, that

The spacecraft should generate the key pairs itself once it landed and send the public keys to earth to be sure no human stole the private keys. But, while fun, your idea is not that stupid. If the spacecraft continuously generate key pairs

Hey, do you know that the EU also have the power to ban companies from doing business in the EU ? That's because like every market, it's a regulated market. EU is very pro business but, unfortunately for Apple, they are the one wr
