This sounds similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking which is a concept that's been around for a while, but would probably be way easier with a well tuned AI model

I believe that the conflict over masks stemmed from a fundamental difference in perspective. Masks work great at blocking transmissions even if the fit is bad, much like covering your mouse when you sneeze. Masks CAN work great at blocking

Back in the day (~1998) when I was doing Q1 map development I used a tool called QuArk. For laughs/nostalgia from this post I decided to Google the editor, figuring that it would have been mostly lost to history. NOPE! I was very wrong

Also, let’s not forget that much of the seafood coming from South East Asia has a high risk of using slave labor. Make your own decisions about what that means for you.

It’s more expensive, but there is a lot of seafood that’s produced in the US. No guarantees of humane treatmenr, but I bet much better than East Asia.

Often times I think lawsuit culture in the US is ridiculous, but maybe its justified in some cases. I'm astounded that he only got $180k from these lawsuits. I would expect a conviction like this to result in sums that would bankrupt t

The team's I'm talking about don't meet in person that often. Once or twice per year. Every month feels like a good cadence to develop and maintain good relationships. I should push for more frequent meet ups. Given how sprea

I know that the common perspective on HN is that remote work is good. Certainly, as a senior engineer and parent I appreciate the flexibility that remote work provides. However I think there’s a huge problem that’s silently growing. New eng

There's a lot of haters in this thread. You don't need to use Java. I don't use Java day to day anymore, but I'm excited to see the language evolve. I would highly recommend watching some of the talk from the Java archi

Does it matter if they never tow anything? People want to be ABLE to tow something. Every truck commercial features giant trails or a loader dumping rocks into the bed. Probably <10% of pick up trucks owners ever do this, but people stil

This is definitely a parody. I assume, in response to the open office discussions from a few weeks ago.

What's with people (boomers?) obsession with "Rock'n'Roll"? It seems like there's been a constant conversation over the last 30? years about what is and isn't rock'n'roll. I simply don't und

Most cities have Hotels in very specifically zoned neighborhoods. Sometimes these are in neighborhoods you actually want to be in sometimes not. AirBnBs allows you to stay in neighborhoods where people actually live. This is a huge differen

I guess I'm not the only one watching For All Mankind this week. This kind of nuclear research is obviously way less popular these days, but I do wonder if these engines could be made more practically with today's technology. Sure

Is that what's happening here? Has law enforcement become more intense over the last 15 years? I feel like its become less intense but the drugs have still become more potent.

I absolutely love this. I really wish that generative AI was fast enough that you could infinitely scroll a single sandwich and it would generate more on the fly.

What are you talking about? eBikes and regular bikes are WAY different. They're way heavier because of battery + motor, so you need special stands and lifts, or it takes two people to manage it. All the electric components add way more
