    Yes, obfuscation was always a matter of cost : how much money do you need to break the protection? LLM just decreased that amount by a lot. (Yes ok, RSA4096 is technically a matter…

    > "You can just make it type words, what's the risk in that?" I don't know if it's a useful answer to people saying this kind of stuff, but here are some examples of other attacks …

    You can do an IR remote without a RTOS, but as soon as you do BLE you realistically need a RTOS. You have timers for keep-alives, connection states, competing interrupts, CPU-"inte…

    I'm sorry to announce this to you, but the last PowerBook was released 21 years ago

    I agree with you that it is the very obvious conclusion, but it isn't obvious to everyone. But it could still be relevant to you if you find yourself discussing with someone saying…

    I'm on the side of "clever, fun, but feels useless". But to defend the project, all sensors require a powered central system. It's pretty common for Zigbee to have one repeater per…

    Laying out the math (assuming earth is an homogeneous sphere) just in case it's not clear: F_gravitational = G m1 m2 /r^2 g = G Mass_earth / r_earth^2 Mass_earth = r_earth^2 * g/G …

    TFA says "After 1,000 fast charges, the battery should retain more than 90 percent of its original state of charge, the company said." I can't really judge whether 1000 charges is …

    Well, you stopped hearing about it, not because it stopped being used, but because its support became mainstream for a very long time. Google strongly recommends using zram on all …

    Unironically. Every time I asked a LLM to make something faster, they always tried blind code optimisations, rather than measure.

    Absoultely. I'll add to your comment that it isn't a bug of MCP itself. MCP doesn't specify what the LLM sees. It's a bug of the MCP client. In my toy chatbot, I implement MCP as p…

    An ESP32-C3 Super Mini can be found for below 3$ (cheapest I had was 1.58€). Since the original clock is 3.88$, it can't be that much cheaper.

    Since GCC is lacking such an essential optimization, you should consider have one of your junior interviewee contribute this basic optimization mainline.

    You can make frequency inertia with solar (even without batteries if you accept running with a constant reserve so with reduced efficiency). Spain showed that there is a learning c…

    80% is catastrophic though. In a classroom of 30 all honest pupils, 6 will get a 0 mark because the software says its AI?

    Is there a survey of SoTA of what can be achieved with CSI sensing you would recommend? What is available on the low level? Are researchers using SDR, or there are common wifi chip…

    I'm curious why they are using actual modems rather than just doing it with VoWifi that merely requires a SIM card reader (pretty much just an UART)

    Except I'm guessing they are not selling their equity, they are making debt backed by their equity?

    Well you can't really do -600C sand (or anything), so the benefits of sand VS water largely diminished. "just" freezing water already gives you around 300C equivalent of sand (if m…

    You can technically run it on a 8086 assuming you can get access to a big enough storage. More reasonably, you should be able to run the 20B at non-stupidly-slow speed with a 64bit…

    Well if nVidia wasn't late, it would be runnable on nVidia project Digits.
