They didn't have some secret way of defeating 40 bit encryption; anyone could do it. 512 bit asymmetric encryption was also brute forced by a private entity, albeit at a high budget.

Your answer makes it seem like you too missed the point. If a Starlink sends a 1000W signal to Earth, that is 1000W of power that does not heat the satellite.

Wouldn't "code sign" be two words in English? And "code signing" rather than "code sign"?

When you're talking about changed laws, are you referring to the civil case against E. Jean Carroll? And when you are talking about "charges that the banks said weren't even an issue" are you talking about the civil fra

US colleges last one year longer, and the first year is more academically similar to the last year of high school in Europe.

In addition to the other signs that this is fake, you can't "check your mail" and find a certified letter.

This is not exactly skeptical analysis of such an extraordinary claim. I can put the same image on my screen and print a letter like that with no involvement from Tesla.

Twitter has a permanent outage reporting breaking news. Whenever something big happens now, the feed looks like any other day. This didn't use to be the case.

Maybe unrelated to your question, but the individual bars in the Fed vault have specific owners. They are not mingled.

A more sensible way to break it down is by "something you have" (phone or YubiKey), "something you know" (password) and "something you are" (face or fingerprint). Username and password are both something you kn

Seems pretty similar to distributed rate limiting. But it's much simpler to solve the common case of overspending on a single API: give each API the same daily limit with no communication between APIs.

To be clear, buying back stock is one of the ways they can invest in Waymo (and other business units). Since Alphabet buybacks mostly just offset employee stock compensation, the main thing they are getting for this money is employees.

While this may be true, it's a very common problem that people who want to demonstrate how bad a model is fail to provide a direct link or simply state the name of the model.

If I had missed the point I would have given a much broader list of examples. I specifically listed ones that make employees totally redundant rather than more useful doing other tasks. When these people were made redundant, they may very w

Self check-out stations, ATMs, and online brokerages. Recently chat support. Namely cases where millions of people used to interact with a representative every week, and now they don't.

The chart is super misleading, since the test was obscure until recently. A few months ago he announced he'd made the only good AGI test and offered a cash prize for solving it, only to find out in as much time that it's no differ

When I'm heading to New Jersey, I often check the Holland Tunnel entrance camera to see whether there's a jam. The intersection only flows well if there's a traffic cop there, which factors into route decisions.

Before that, they did a bait and switch and added free videos to their package delivery service. Beyond that, there's no lock-in to a video service beyond any exclusive show you're currently watching, so your decision to continue

It's literally 4 lines of Python code calling subprocess.Popen to start a PostgreSQL server for a given database directory and connecting to it via a pipe on the filesystem. However, you can't launch multiple concurrent instances

It can be a process and some unnamed sockets also, which is the main difference between PostgreSQL and SQLite.

This is how we encourage migration to the US. Early access to software and video streaming, superior Amazon experience, and much fewer cookie warnings (though we still have a lot). You'll have to say goodbye to BBC iPlayer though.

The Wikipedia editor was a bit naive to think such a basic study could invalidate that whole claim. They measured the correlation between the list price, adjusted for use amount, and development cost. As far as I can tell they didn't t

It's because reading and writing happen in separate processes, i.e. simultaneously instead of interleaved. In general writing to disk is handled asynchronously by the kernel (`write` just copies to a buffer and returns), but metadata o

"YAML is a superset of JSON" only means that any JSON document is a valid YAML document. It does not mean YAML is equal to JSON.

Easier to fix is a lot more important when things are breaking all the time. This reminds me of people putting water pipes outside the house to make them easier to thaw when they freeze, rather then inside the wall where they never freeze.
