Seems like uninformed bull. Your recording is protected by the usual copyright. It may not be used without permission except as permitted by law. If the law is being violated, sue the heck out of the state. Now if you post it on social medi

Well, even the antibody titre isn't foolproof (some people do not react or have their immune system later wiped). However having no antibody titre is pretty good sign you never had it. Not sure if there's a portable cheap blood t

It will be challenged in the Tribunal if it passes, and will lose as it is incompatible with baseline EU laws. Specifically, the charter: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/char_2012/oj/eng Article 8 p

If you haven't started doing the thing while researching it, you're doing archeology or historiography, not research. (Different scientific fields. Research requires experiment.)

It's called documentation. Somehow people forget to include a non-external service dependent version with their code these days. Probably because "nobody is paid for doing that".
6.
by AstralStorm 10mo ago
Yeah sure. The tricky part is if you even know which action to take. To actually do that you need to research enough, conceptualize the end goal and envison a rough but workable plan. Most people don't and blindly stumble going after s

Who's paying to school them at googling? Certainly not you...

Unless you wasted years by going in the wrong direction which could have been avoided by a week of serious thinking and planning... (Or even a year. Some mistakes are extremely costly.)

It's even more legally funny than this. They are also allowed to enact entrapment to some degree and it passed court muster in the US. That because it's extremely hard to use it as a defence. Note that these actions are illegal

How can you even sue without any legal identity? This website and an organisation does not happen to have any. Might as well be some shell company in the Carribeans with no legal standing in France. It's not even good enough for public

The store owner visibly responds to the customers differently. Fingerprinting is invisible. It's more like the store owner recording everyone on hidden camera. So no, you cannot steelman a broken analogy.

It's not even that. Only a kernel of the LLM is trained using RLHF. The rest is self-trained from corpus with a few test questions added into the mix. Because it still cannot reason about veracity of sources, much less empirically try

Still waiting for someone to make a tiny token sized phone. Unfortunately the smallest around, Unihertz Atom, is both outdated and too low resolution for some apps to work.

Now that is more of a problem than a bank. Which is why someone beeds to integrate OTP tokens into ID cards, closing the issue.
15.
by AstralStorm 11mo ago
Uh, banks still provide separate tokens and one time pad cards last I've heard. If yours doesn't, pick one that does.

Warrant canary depends on agreed upon inaction, which shields it somewhat. You cannot exactly compel speech by a gag order. This, being an active process, if found out, is violating a gag order by direct action.

TPM itself is a simple data container with slow encryption/decryption capabilities. It cannot hide anything really. You might have mistaken it for say Intel ME and the AMD equivalent.
18.
by AstralStorm 11mo ago
No, these should exist in the TPM and highly volatile memory like CPU cache. This including the decryption code. This can be achieved using mechanisms similar to what Coreboot does before RAM is initialized. No need for the keys or decrypti

Don't worry, you're going to be searching for logic vs requirements mismatches instead if the thing provides proofs. That means, you have to understand if it is even proving the properties you require for the software to work. It&

You might have just filtered off all the nutrients and have yourself a dietary deficiency. Oops. And your supplements might well be contaminated...

Thing is, because the whole design is closed as well as firmware, the security of it is near zero, even for sealing firmware device images (e.g. option ROM), much less bootloaders. Multiple security holes have been found. There's no is

Yeah right. Because building a freezer that goes to -30 C is as cheap as going to -18 C. It's much beefier hardware with a lot more insulation. Likewise a heat pump can only boost so much. This, like other environment related changes n

You can do the basic continuous blood pressure monitoring. Not super precise but should work for categorizing.

Well those are just so underpowered it literally hurts. All of disk size, expansion options and memory. And booting something that isn't a funny variant of a locked down OS is relatively hard.

When it is possible, when you can afford it and when such an expert existsand you know of them and can contact them. Interesting factoid is that for many fields, such experts do not really exist. Unfortunately we do not get hired as researc

So what happens when you can't find a solution to your problem and hit the edges of current research even specialists cannot buckle?

How to compile a C or C++ program is also a turnoff, right?

And now to know what it does you have to read a book. The IO class is good. The rest is information hiding. Now if you could write anything else in Java in this form,it would make sense.

Except this is self sabotaging, because you have no deep connection you stay alone and feel alone, ultimately spiralling.

Interesting. Did it get eaten by general baseline interests and lost the focus, ultimately moving to cater to lowest common denominator? Failed or sold?
