The issue is that we only observe one dimension of time and three dimensions of space. So allowing more than that would require a lot of evidence. Postulating that there's multiple times dimensions is the same thing as postulating that

It would result in fewer online games that stop working altogether when the publisher wants to stop it. All the publisher would have to do is to create a "mini self-hosted server" application and provide it and they would follow t

The latter. It's a tool, if using data is necessary to make the tool work, then its output derives from the data. If the LLM generation is not derivative of its training data, then why would it need the training data in the first place

It's because circles allow for a stagger and overlap as shown later on. It's not really possible to get the same effect from squares.

Basically, for this specific structure, they had to develop their own "sub structures" on the 1d line. These sub structures are known to create one little thing going diagonally (and then leave a bunch of debris behind, but that d

Do look into jsdoc typing and "//@ts-check". I do agree with you on the compilation, and this is the reason I'm still writing the occasional .js or .mjs file. However, the js I write starts with enabling ts-check an

Context: This is for a 2019 data breach on a system that was created in 2012. The GDPR was instated in 2018 (has it really been that long? Wow feels like yesterday) and Meta failed to disclose the 2019 data breach properly under GDPR, hence

None of these are true for the MitM threat model that caused this whole investigation: - If someone manages to MitM the communication between e.g. Digicert and the .com WHOIS server, then they can get a signed certificate from Digicert for

The requirement to ID yourself online was already a thing in China, and using government-provided unique IDs for that isn't the worst way to go about it. The main issue would be mandatory reporting (i.e. if the companies have to consta

TS allows you to pass a read-only object to a method taking a read-write value: type A = { value: number; } function test(a: A) { a.value = 3; } function main() { const a: Readonly<A> = { value: 1 }; /&#

I really don't agree with that. Git is a powerful tool with very few actual downsides, and the unwillingness of some developers to spend an hour learning how it works hurts them in the long-term. It's like sticking to the text edi

Not quite that, we've known about galaxies outside our own (like the Magellanic clouds or the Andromeda galaxy) for a few millenia, and the main reason black holes haven't been discovered for a while because they're black and

Weird choice to talk about the placebo effect in this context. The placebo effect is definitely used in combination with chemical and biological effects when administering drugs (or, more accurately, it always automatically happens). It&#x2

Captura is a great piece of software - I've used it for years, and I still use the latest release today. It is a complete, all-in-one tool - very straightforward UI, lots of formats supported (especially through ffmpeg integration) and

I don't think it's likely. The real migration has been and will continue to be towards Discord servers and similar "smallish" live chat-based communities on centralized services. The age of small self-hosted forums is un

To simplify equations that create ratios between distance, time and energy. That's literally it. Using Planck units is a math trick to remove a bunch of constants from a bunch of equations. The Planck length doesn't really have an

There's a good chunk of the article about that. "Constant-tile" is a bit of a misnomer, "secret-independent resource consumption" is a better way to say it. If you just add a "sleep(rand)" or equivalent th

I don't think that's a healthy mindset to have. Just because something is widely used doesn't mean it's more secure (example: libwebp). The security issues tend to happen mostly when creating optimizations that bypass th

The advances of renewables are definitely dependent on strong compute and widespread global (or at least widespread local) networking. Smart grids need all of the different tools from different manufacturers to talk to each other, which an

LIGO by itself serves "very little" purpose, just watching for gravitational events that are theoretically possible and checking if they happen for real. It actually confirmed that these events exist a while ago[1], and now it&#x2

I don't think you understand the policy. Unity isn't doing what Unreal did and asking for a cut of every sales. That would be surprising, that would be impactful, but that would be a manageable amount of money. Unity is asking for

Hacking the root certificates of TLS doesn't allow you to read every TLS-encrypted conversation ever, thankfully. It just allows you to set up a MITM attack that looks legit. And sure, that is bad, but it's not "immediately m

That's completely missing the point. This is not about perfection, this is about the threat level. Decryption is always going to be technically possible. A government can always get possession of a phone, invest a lot of time and skill

"Intrinsically linked" doesn't exist. Encryption is math, math you can do on a piece of paper (in theory). Anything you set up to log the fact that people did that math is always going to be meaningless if people take the num

The point is that today, the key isn't in Google's or Amazon's or Meta's servers, but on the phones of people. That means that you literally don't have the key if you don't have the phone. And governments don&#

Note about the more productive approach: Mozilla published a blog post[0] back in late June about what solutions are already available and advising for the law to reinforce these existing mechanisms instead of mandating a new browser-level

Well, good news about that, a simplified version of adblocking through content filtering[0] is already part of Ladybird (and has been part of Browser[1], the version of Ladybird integrated in Serenity, for a while). There is even a video[2]

I can actually comment on that fist question, having contributed to Serenity a bit in the past. I did two big patches in the system, the first by adding websockets to the system[1][2] and the second (still ongoing) about allowing Browser to
