There’s a military history channel I follow that did a special on this topic. I remember that nerve gas initially came out of the pesticide research: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P0D4Ph_yRYM

I recently installed the STM32 Cube IDE from ST [1] and discovered that it contains a stealth binary of Google's Chrome in my home directory. The fans started spinning and I found the culprit pretty fast, but if you delete the Chrome e

The downside is that it would probably just end up increasing fringe and dangerous behaviors This reminds me of a different type of “banning” I heard about some 20 years ago. There was a physicist who had a separate mailing list fo

I suggest we add its origin to the SETI list. One of my pet theories is that the Fermi paradox is due to cloaking of extraterrestrial civilisations. We’re not entitled to observing them, and as a result the mass and energy of the universe d

One of the comments got me intrigued, and wow: "OptiNAND uses a large non-volatile memory on the drive. It optimizes write performance by using DRAM as a cache. So, when the drive is powered up, performance is on par with WCE, well it

If there's even a diode worth of band-gap technology in there: yes, ageing would be demonstrably different in a device that lived a couple of decades longer. The crystal lattice is not set in stone and atoms move around.

The car would be authentic, built in 1967. What the person is asking is whether there's a technique to distinguish a car from 1967 from a sibling that was brought back from 2036.

In Europe the entire mains grid is synchronised - the smallest deviation in fase & frequency is the same. It’s fairly straightforward to sync them with this distributed reference clock. Edit: https://www.mainsfrequency.com&#x

I thought that antibiotics would have a detrimental effect on an animal’s growth since it wreaks havoc with the intestinal ecosystem. Has there been any research to determine why growth improves with diminished gut bacteria?

processing speeds in devices based on them could reach femtoseconds That would also mean switching times that allow rectifying infrared light. I.e. capturing light energy with um-sized antennas instead of bandgap traps.

First, I think it would be a great idea for any future Single Board Computer or Router designer -- to design their product such that it will work with any power supply from 5V to 12V (assuming that the power supply can provide enough

I think this is more about the offline aspect of open source LLMs. If someone with bad intentions does his research to harm a group, he’ll leave breadcrumbs that can be sniffed up and eventually ring a bell. If the whole process is offline:

When telcos moved the control signals out of the comm channel they also made those signals physically inaccessible. Nothing could be done at the telephone end that would inject arbitrary control signals. (Am I correct?) Now, if we look at t

Are there real humans at Google who actually answer email? Google's strategy has always been to focus on the things that scale. Having a human answer a phone or a mail doesn't scale, so no customer service for the users. I
