Dead reckoning [1] is not new, particularly also in car navigation. Particularly the inertial zeroing trick is common in pedastrian dead reckoning. Neural networks seem to be en vogue to improve this as well [2] [1] https://en.

I agree with you about the legal landscape in many parts of the world. However, I really do not think that without having seen any numbers that crypto really betters human rights ( I guess violation of them would be the only reason why in w

Most scammers targeting your retired parents know how: play store or other vouchers you can buy in the super market. In Europe a standard free IBAN money transfer probably does not lead to much spying either. The biggest use case for this k

IMHO Model checking is really cool. After my PhD (and reading the Baier and Katoen book) I seriously thought about getting a 'real' job in industry and applied for a job at one of the major automotive field bus software vendors.

IMHO OK if the feature would actually provide explainations and it would be based on some sort of rulebook rather some random decision of individuals. I also would be fine if there is a warning if I use the word 'property owner' b

Actually the cited article rather explains that the move to copper was also heavily motivated to support cable television which allowed to stream more right leaning media to households. In the end it is mostly about power not necessarily co

It is only the trackpoint that locked me on ThinkPad. There is IMHO clearly a user base that would be willing to move away from Lenovo only if they could get an open replacement for that single part...

It typically is sufficient if German voters trust their government's decision. Sure you can argue for another smart dictator, but the German majority IMHO is backing the anti nuclear course of their government. The question currently i

I always wonder if there isn't a market for a pressurised fish bowl you can put on your head: My migraine is clearly triggered by atmospheric pressure changes.

Well considering that the local password managers make a great fuzz about memory randomisation and protection of localhost communication, I would consider a trojan running under user privileges a threat myself that a password manager should

The problem is not on the browser interface side but on the interface of the secure password store: here you would need to give your ok (like with a hw key). At least in my password manager it seems possible to impersonate the browser after

Actually interestingly point number one probably holds true, since very few GUI password managers actually document their threat model at all and actually evaluate their design decisions accordingly. E.g. typical browser extensions if used

Actually you do not need nuclear for this. The problem is not nuclear here but to that Germany messed up setting up a fiscal mechanism trying to boost renewables (by introducing the so called EEG Umlage). The problem is that electricity (ev

I guess the point about the tabacco industry is really resonating with me in the sense that the possibility to generate life long revenue by advertising to minors really is a problem. In the end it is about getting children to use drugs.

The problem is IMHO not that things change, but that parents and teachers have difficulty adapting to that change and prepare their offspring for life. We are trying to establish a protected physical world that does not really teach you muc

Totally agree, tgeneral compression that requires the dictionary to be transmitted on every message is not the best use case (if there even is any). Minimal description length is actually a nice information theoretical measure to describe p

Exactly, however, the parent post also tried to expand this to a more general concept of evolutionary pressure and competitive behavioural patterns as I understood. If that is true we can solve a lot of 'problems' in the world by

That is a strange statement, most machine learning boils down to compression in essence (OK it is lossy, but any image quantisation is also lossy). E.g. autoencoders are compression algorithms: take the model as a dictionary and the latent
