What? I was led to believe there would be collisions. I feel ripped off.

Does anyone have BirdNet running on generic x86 hardware? Or is it just for Raspberry Pi?

So true. Fry's is still missed every day. This is a good replacement, though.

I saw a recent stat that the British police were arresting 1000 people a month for posting unacceptable things on social media or private emails. Can technical innovation occur in a world with such repressive laws?

The headline is kind of sensationalist. There are networks of automated plate readers and they can be searched globally. It's pretty clear that any cop that uses these systems to track down anyone is using 89000 cameras. I would be sur

That sure is a long list of people at the end of the article who "contributed." Yet, there are only a few first person anecdotes that make up the spine of the article. Odd.

Hah. Sort of. But the big difference is the railroad doesn't let anyone else use it. A regular road can support cars, trucks, truck convoys and maybe even bikes or pedestrians. A railroad can support trains.

I've had glitching problems with long term cold storage with flash SSDs. They just start losing a bit here or a bit there when they're off for a long time. I have been results with HDD. Is there any reason to believe that these ve

I realize that students don't think this way, but they could do a few things before the end of the semester. They usually find the time to get drunk or go to Starbucks for a hit of caffeine.

A significant part of Peru's government, for instance, has Japanese heritage. And that's just one corner.

This is kind of a cute thing that wanna-be-rebels may enjoy trying on, much like some hipster who buys a leather jacket. But you don't. Believe me. You don't. But for fun, go pay for a legit ticket to watch a movie like "The

Yes, ironic. But, of course, nothing in this attack has anything to do with blockchain or crypto per se. They could have been torturing someone for the password with access to the bank's old school accounts or safe deposit box.

I hate to be cynical, but I've seen such leaseback schemes used to inflate sales. Is that the case here? Or is there enough demand or legit usage to justify this kind of arrangement?

A friend is a big Harvard alum. He says that most of his classmates are very unhappy with the direction of the university. So in his circle the alumni may be cheering this on. Maybe not the extremism but the general idea of telling Harvard

So someone named Geoff Pullum called this a hoax. Now that claim may be wrong. Did the journalist find some explanation of why Pullum said that? I'm curious.

The real issue often is local high schoolers and middle schoolers. Several college librarians told me that they hated to keep them out, but they were loud and not really interested in studying. They were getting away from their parents.

A big part of copyright law is protecting the market for the original creator. Not guaranteeing them anything. Just preventing someone else from coming along and copying someone else's work in a way that hurts their sales. While AIs do

A big motivation for the Trump administration seems to be the politicization that happened under the Biden regime. There were many large NSF grants given to fund "education" and they were pretty much focused on people with the pre

In-DRAM goes back a long time. There were plenty of papers in the 90s about various ideas for turning a bank of DRAM into a SIMD machine. They weren't as clever as some of these ideas or as well developed but these papers are just the
