There's various expenses present in US budgets that are handled differently elsewhere. Insurance premiums have increased, dependence on cars means gas price increases hit harder in the US than the EU in general, etc. So a comparison of

Many exploits involve running arbitrary code hidden in encoded image and video files, notably Pegasus among others. This should be treated as cryptography.

They're sterile, so presumably the most that will happen is a temporary boost in the lizard and bird populations and a reduction in fruit fly populations over the next few weeks / into the winter. Highly unlikely this will trigger

When I plug in my phone into the USB port on my newer vehicle, it asks me if I want to allow or deny the car to see the files on my phone. Nice. However before I make a choice, the default is already to allow file transfers. Not nice. I thi

I think you are conflating two separate designs. The company developing this concept explicitly uses the phrase "spherical reflector" and contrasts it against previous designs based on parabolas. https://www.freefallaer

From the previous HN post[1] about it, I was linked to the company's own page[2] which includes a more precise description of the technology. The reflector is indeed spherical and there is an array of transceivers along the "focal

You'd need to spend a long time training it on something other than English... at which point it's not an LLM. I definitely agree that the LLM architecture is useful for a lot more than just language per se assuming you can appr
