The brain is more like a CPU implemented in FPGA than a CPU synthesised into silicon. Signals are only somewhat local - you get increased activity in this or that region and can correlate it with what happens in the brain - like power analy

What? No. The signature needs to be added by the image sensor as it gathers data. It shouldn't be easy to extract it and that's it. It's even less difficult than keeping the DVD/Blueray keys secure because each device ha

Every camera will have a unique key so a single key leaked is still no issue. It's easy to maintain a blacklist - similarly how CRLs work.

From what happened to me - cards die, especially older ones when there is a lot of data written to them even without power failures (UPS ensured that). And when you have a journaled filesystem there is a lot of writes. I made hybrid systems

In Poland I can get a board or 3 in a week but it will be expensive (about $150-$200 for a small one), normal, cheap delivery time is about 3 weeks. China is even cheaper but takes 4-8 weeks. That's why I made a lot of boards myself as

But there is conditional logic "hidden" in lambda mapping. You want it without ANY conditional logic try this (python3): [str(n)*(n%3!=0)*(n%5!=0) + 'Fizz'*(n%3==0) + 'Buzz'*(n%5==0) for n in range(1,101)]

I don't believe "quantum computing" will get us any step closer to breaking RSA. Similar how complex number theory didn't allow us to draw a square with area of -1. To break RSA-N you need a superposition of all the numb

They don't. You have to rivet vias which, while relatively fast when compared to soldering them, is pretty expensive (~$20/100).

With a proper lens I think it just might work. You need to get huge focal length to make those pixels work. Then you need illumination because with those focal length it will be really dim. Then you need to scan the area because your FOV is
