Obviously it is, I've been writing a scientific library that runs in-browser and WebAssembly has been a blessing, it's easily 10x faster than the backend Python code it replaced, and 2-5x faster than I could achieved with JavaScri

Unless you're using DNS over HTTPS they can see the unencrypted DNS traffic. There's also Encrypted Client Hello, but they can also see which IP you're connecting to.

Yes, it gets boring that each time one of these supply chain attack article appears everybody starts talking about cooldowns, 2FA, MFA, etc. Just don't give Node the permissions to your complete filesystem / network.

Instagram is the worst offender, I only want to receive message notifications, but I got notifications about inane random stuff I've tried to disable but it won't work. I ended up having to disable notifications altogether.

My theory is that they rate limit that URL aggressively due to AI scrapers. At this point it's faster to just clone the repo and do your searching locally.

The idea would be to use autonomous drones, so they wouldn't need to communicate, the problem would be that the GPS signal is jammed.

Have you seen YouTube's front-page? It's pretty much 20-40min videos full of fluff.

I'm guessing you're not storing the CLIP for every single frame, instead of every second or so? Also, are you using the cosine similarity? How are you finding the nearest vector?

BitTorrent v2 uses SHA-256, but in any case SHA-1 is still second-preimage resistant. And the BitTorrent piece hashes are included in the .torrent file, so you would need to find a double collision.
