You are making a wrong leap from non-deterministic process to uncontrollable result. Most of the parallel algorithms are non-deterministic. There might be no guarantee about the order of calculation or even sometimes the final absolute resu

Well, sometimes Microsoft decides to change your settings back. This has happened to me very frequently after installing Windows updates. I remember finding myself turning the same settings off time and again.

I'm surprised reading that the Iranian's regime concerns are centered on WhatsApp sharing information with Israel. It is much more likely that WhatsApp have 0-day vulnerabilities used by the Mossad to gain the info than WhatsApp a

I am not involved in scraping, but to me this sounds like simply another tool in the arsenal. They say it's hard for the scraper to realize it has been caught this way because it's not being blocked. However, I don't see anyt

And yet, it's the best we currently have. I donate to them. We can come with demands of how it should be managed, but it should not prevent us from helping them.

I simply cannot give up the option of zapping distractions off of my screen. I really cannot understand how people can use Youtube or even a Youtube embedded video without zapping away the distractions. There is no way I'm coming back

If there was a similar product that does not upload any of your extremely personal data, like whether you're now in your bed, to some server on the internet, would you prefer it?

Are there any consumer products offered that provide similar functions (heating, controlling with an app etc.), but which never try to connect to a remote server, other than looking for the control app in the local LAN?

I wonder what giant shadows this building casts, and how unfortunate it is for those live near it.

You really don't have to wait even a single second if you use an ad blocker. I can recommend uBlock Origin.

Maybe it is about time that we stop relying on closed gardens, censored and managed on a whim, and start reclaiming our internet and freedom back, publishing in open platforms?

This great video goes into a bit more detail about pixels. It also shows that there is an interesting difference with the color green not only in monitors, but also in camera sensors that detect the color: https://youtu.be/P

A completely different approach that don't require heavy AI would be an app on the user phone that does this: 1. Measure the distance from the wall (standard image processing) 2. Use the rotations of the gyro sensors on the phone to co

There are some indirect ways. Suspecting users can try the software to see if it has the exact same functionality or bugs as the copied GPL library. This is of course not a definite proof, but some amount of rare enough coincidences can be

When handling critical software and hardware, for example automated cars, it should be the case that it's never ever the sole responsibility of a single individual. People make mistakes, and will always do. There should be a lot of saf
