Shortwave with plenty of spare batteries. Disregard solar power – you won't be going outside or even near the windows for some time.

Diehl's argument is that the PV is zero, and the post to which you are replying is a response to that. So while you are quite correct that the arguments introduced are political, they are still convincing arguments to some degree, and

I had to check I hadn't accidentally pasted in a link to Alain de Benoist or someone like that. No, Kopnina's centring of the individual, whether human or non-human, places her firmly in the liberal tradition, broadly considered.

McLemore's claim, "the so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest of us can be accurately measured against", is false. Moreover, the fact that no

The open letter makes one central point: that the SA article is a nearly pure ad hominem, i.e. that Lemore attacks E.O. Wilson himself, not any particular thing which he actually did or said. She simply does not establish anything that coul

That would contradict "even if she wanted to, France couldn't". If she wanted to, France could make nuclear engineering a highly-paid profession with strong job security. It would just cost more money.

That's 28 years away. People not yet born will be trained nuclear engineers by then. On what basis does RTE regard the loss of knowledge as already locked-in?

Footnote #1 suggests the author is concerned with solutions to the availability of CSAM. In this light the ownership of the NFT is actually irrelevant. Anyone can read the data in the NFT. That data will either point to CSAM or it won'

The phrase "offers certain end-to-end customer experiences" could be applied to anything that happens while you're using Windows – so it doesn't mean anything. For Microsoft to label what Firefox and Edge are doing &quot

If the reasons don't leak (they usually do) then it will still be possible to see what Gilmore was blocking by watching what the EFF does over the next six months that it hasn't done before.

I believe you have misread that table. The prices (which depend on size) are all per package of 100 sheets. So you can reduce that $1000 to $10 as an order of magnitude estimate. That's still rather expensive just for paper, but it mig

For the record, the poor lady suffered 6% third-degree burns. The "over ten percent" includes more minor burns. A small detail, but it raised my suspicion that the author was putting his thumb on the scales to make his point stron

I like IPFS for making Libgen faster (with a little help from Cloudflare). If it also manages to solve hard problems of decentralization and content-addressable storage, that's just a bonus.

It should be possible for the jammer to subtract off its own signal rather more effectively than anything which doesn't have access to the pRNG it uses to generate the interference.

Yes for string theory and all related topics, with the exception of interpretation of quantum mechanics. In which his adoption of the Copenhagen interpretation is very reasonable as praxis, but doesn't make sense to me as metaphysics.

Yes, it's encrypted, but part of this anti-CSAM strategy is a threshold encryption scheme that allows Apple to decrypt photos if a certain number of them have suspicious hashes.

On reflection, yes, there must be warrants involved. I'm raising my estimate of how likely it is that innocent people get raided due to this. The warrant would properly only be to search iCloud, not some guy's house, but I can eas

This could happen with a perturbed image, but I doubt it. Apple will send the suspicious images to the relevant authorities. Those authorities will then look at the images. The chances are low that they will then seek a search, even though

Second preimage attacks are trivial because of how the algorithm works. The image goes through a neural network (one to which everyone has access), the output vector is put through a linear transformation, and that vector is binarized, th
