In my opinion, all of these open source/free/open document signing tools are neat on paper (and technically fulfill the goal of being able to verify a document's chain-of-custody/signature provenance) - but won't ta

A related project, but for birds - https://motus.org Motus is a distrbuted network of ground stations for tracking birds and other species (like bats!) for research - they also use CTT tags for tracking (along with tags from ano

CarPlay and Android Auto were engineered from the start to be as agnostic to the car's hardware as possible. Your car's stereo is really just a dumb screen (i.e. just a display and input/output interface) with the phone doing

It depends on the airport! Some smaller airports (like Corona Municipal Airport where the story is based) - are untowered, meaning that there's no central ATC to chat with when taking off/landing - everyone announces what they&#x2

I'd recommend changing your tagline - > Share secrets from your terminal. One-time only. No accounts. No backend. No BS. A server sure sounds like a backend to me.

It’s there - just built into the binary. ;) but yeah that was upsetting - I was hoping they’d push them to a registry and make them… more available.

And don't downplay how much of a role politics can play at making those facts/performance metrics harder/easier to achieve - and some companies are excellent deluding themselves into thinking it's not the case.

I know the intro video is a render - but the folding of the purple sheet looks so... unnatural (to put it lightly) - like the cloth physics do exactly what is convenient for the video and don't reflect reality.

Don't picture them as OTA firmware updates. Picture them as OTA navigation data updates (i.e. maps, charts, waypoints, airport info, etc...) - that's much easier to pull off. The process right now is pulling out an SD card from yo

I can see what was meant with that statement. I do think compression increases Shannon entropy by virtue of it removing repeating patterns of data - Shannon entropy per byte of compressed data increases since it’s now more “random” - all th

As a pilot, yes, your conclusion is correct - it’s widely known “tribal” knowledge among most American pilots that any reporting on the FAA medical certificate application is ammunition that the FAA can then use to probe for additional info

Reading this made me think “huh, where have I seen something like this before?” - an AT&T router was doing something awfully similar back in 2020 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25335936

Carriers in the US are basically required to route 911 calls, even for devices not on their network - I wonder if that’ll include T-Mobile’s/Starlink announcement (since they’re going to be using existing 5G spectrum, I would presume s

I’d imagine the number of highly skilled stunt pilots willing to do a stunt like this drops proportionally in countries with lenient aviation authorities.

> Best might have been to do this stunt outside of FAA jurisdiction. In order to do this, that would mean not using pilots with an FAA certificate, nor an American-registered aircraft. Even if they did this over the middle of the ocean

More than likely it'll be a fine for Red Bull/the pilots involved - and at worst a revocation of the pilot certificates for the pilots involved for continuing ahead despite knowing that an exemption wasn't granted.

A backdoor in Curve25519 hasn’t really been a concern, because unlike P-256, the parameters for the curve didn’t come from NIST. Curve25519 is a djb ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_J._Bernstein ) special. So unles

One of the nice things about NetMaker (at least that I've seen), is that it supports the vanilla WireGuard iOS app, just without the mesh capabilities and other automation. I have my iOS client set up with a egress node on Netmaker, it

Smaller general aviation aircraft still use 100LL gasoline (the LL stands for low lead) - and even though there’s lead-free replacement candidates (still going through regulatory approval, at least in the US), it’s been known that areas aro

That’s a good way to suddenly get those organizations to magically start using those IPs suddenly - if you threaten to take unused IP blocks away, I’m sure those orgs will somehow find a way to “use” them.

It's funny that GitHub ships their own text editor, Atom, but the second example (under the "More than Autocomplete" header) on the Copilot website is clearly using VSCode.

To be fair, most of the original recordings (with caveats listed there) were linked at the bottom, so I presume that the author still has them around - that's hardly "throwing" them away. I don't think the goal of using
