I’m sorry you went through this. But I am interested in the monero aspect here. Should I treat this as some datapoint on monero’s security having held up well so far?

Thanks for the pointer. I went down the rabbithole, and as far as I can tell, you have to axiomatically assume infinities are real in order to prove Goodstein’s theorem. I challeng…

I haven't studied math beyond what was needed for my engineering courses. However, I also am starting to believe that infinity doesn't exist. Or more specifically, I want to argue …

> There are high speed police chases (100mph+) in Los Angeles — no exaggeration — on an almost daily basis. How is anyone driving at that speeds in LA traffic?

Long time OpenBSD fan. Used it as my daily driver for years before standardizing all computers at home to macOS. I still think about going back to openBSD one day, but it's no long…

I ended up having a work laptop that looks exactly like my personal laptop. After making an embarrassing mistake once, I picked up some stickers and stuck them on my office laptop.…

Yay! A tiny minuscule bit of my code is riding on these. While I no longer work there, I am absolutely thrilled at this milestone 1. Congratulations everyone! Yay! 2. I absolutely …

So pornhub needs to see how many terabytes of content they host and use AI to generate 2x more terabytes of cat pictures and add them to a compliance tab on their home page now? Se…

This is really cool. But I want to talk about how much free headspace Graham Hancock has managed to acquire. I thought about him the moment I saw this title. I'm sure some of you c…

I use OpenBSD. I love it, but I recommend reading warnings on the label. I would say FreeBSD is somewhat like Ubuntu is to Linux - easy to get setup, works for more people. There i…

I wasted an inordinate amount of time trying to fight Apple Vision Pro to get it to read my Yubikey. I failed. My apple vision pro was rendered useless because of a single passkey.…

> It is not on the auditor to guarantee that what they are looking at has no errors. Um, what then is the point of an auditor?

For those of us out of the loop, can someone please share a summary of the drama?

The absolute best for me: The Malazan book of the fallen. Book 1 is really hard to get into and doesn't reward as much. But if you stick with it, as early as the end of Book 2, you…

This looks stupid. If I am reading the legislation [0] correctly, teenagers now have to tell Spotify what song to play one after another, every single time one track ends. Unless s…

I’m curious - what is the motivation for the “offline only” requirement? Where are the boundaries of what’s negotiable and what’s not? For example, is it ok if it can connect to th…

This looks gorgeous. Here is my wishlist for my ideal watch: 1. Automatically adjusts to the timezone I'm in, including accounting for daylight saving time 2. Analog watch face wit…

I have been using a similar service from a different provider (feedbin) and can vouch for the usefulness of this approach. For a time, I used Android. The absence of a decent RSS r…

Hey! Nice to see this here. My graduate thesis advisor was a coinventor of the DCT [0]. I miss my grad school days - he was a great advisor. [0]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._R…
