dopa42365··on Croatia declared free of landmines after 31 years
There's no border wall, just a typical bike road next to a small fence. So no, unless Poland is planning to blow up their own civilians, they won't mine their own country lol.
dopa42365··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/GDPR%2...

That's a good start (might not be 100% up-to-date, but vast majority of them are still 451 blocked).

dopa42365··on A case study in PDF forensics: The Epstein PDFs
Given the "nature" of 4chan (only a few hundred posts and a few thousand comments at a time, the vast majority of it shitposts and spam), it just can't do that. The imageboard format and limits basically prevent any scaling and mainstream success. If you follow any of the general threads in pol or sp for a while, you'll spot the same few people all the time, it's a tiny community of active users.
dopa42365··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
Thankfully we'll magically stop being at war with Russia once Ukraine gives up :P
dopa42365··on Overdose deaths are falling in America because of a 'supply shock': study
If the cost didn't go up, it can't have been a supply shortage. Even at its US peak, there wasn't much of a "fentanyl epidemic" in Mexico either.

The overprescription of opioids in the US (especially in the past) is hardly a secret.

dopa42365··on New Glenn Update
Launch cost was already a single digit percentage of total cost when using Falcon-9s. Reduction in launch cost doesn't really change anything at that point.

Ignoring that weaponizing space would backfire badly (you want hundreds of nukes in orbit? yeah actually let's just not do that) and thus no one considering it either.

dopa42365··on WeatherNext 2: Our most advanced weather forecasting model
https://www.ventusky.com/ has a ton of different models too.

dopa42365··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
Some 1400 cubic kilometers of water evaporate every day on our blue planet here. The water isn't deleted, really.
dopa42365··on Global Peace Index 2025
> Norway experienced the largest deterioration in peacefulness in the region, which was primarily caused by a substantial deterioration on the Militarisation domain. The military expenditure (% GDP) indicator deteriorated by 31.1 per cent and the weapons exports indicator deteriorated by 145 per cent. In 2024, the government unanimously adopted a new long-term defence strategy that will substantially increase the total defence budget over the next 12 years.15 The Safety and Security domain saw a slight improvement of 0.08 per cent while all the indicators in the Ongoing Conflict domain had no change. Despite its fall in overall peacefulness, Norway has the second most peaceful ranking in the world on the Safety and Security domain.
dopa42365··on Microsoft doubles down on small modular reactors and fusion energy
Enriching uranium to 20% instead of 5% is easy. If reactors require it, the fuel will be found just fine. You already have hundreds of SMRs in submarines and aircraft carriers and what not. A1B reactors in your carriers run on 93% enriched uranium!

That really isn't the bottleneck by any means. If there's demand there will be supply.

dopa42365··on Microsoft doubles down on small modular reactors and fusion energy
There're 0 new reactors being built in the USA currently. Not Microsofts fault obviously, but then again what's the point of these articles?
dopa42365··on Pixel 10 Phones
150€ Xiaomi phones have a 120Hz AMOLED screen these days.
dopa42365··on When the CIA got away with building a heart attack gun
Isn't that more likely to be some kind of training mission for a junior agent? (make it personal, not totally clean and get away with it anyway?)

When they just want to make sure to kill someone, dumping a few magazines into the body and driving over it afterwards for good measure, like that ex-pilot in Spain, appears to do the trick just fine.

dopa42365··on Micron rolls out 276-layer SSD trio for speed, scale, and stability
Price/TB is nearly identical for ancient SATA and new "high-end" PCIe 4 M.2 SSDs. The cost is EVERYTHING except the controller and the PCB. Which would be the memory, shockingly.
dopa42365··on The future of ultra-fast passenger travel
Can't go supersonic over inhabited land in this day and age. So all it does is shave some time off on ocean crossing. Like flying the 3000km from East Canada to West Ireland in 1.5 instead of 3 hours.

At extremely increased cost. It's a hard sell in an industry that's competing for price efficiency.

dopa42365··on Ukrainian hackers destroyed the IT infrastructure of Russian drone manufacturer
>GASKAR INTEGRATION

Definitely one of the companies that everyone has heard of before. No need to mention any of their brand or product names, they're that famous.

$3 million revenue in 2024.

I'm sure we'll hear more about the epic defeat of this major military supplier in the future.

Ja, there must be order.

dopa42365··on California Attorney General issues consumer alert for 23andMe customers
you do not redeem today, saar
dopa42365··on EPUBCheck – The official conformance checker for ePub publications
I've used Calibre with the KFX Output plugin for years, never had an issue with converting pirated epubs.
dopa42365··on German public broadcasters open source their streaming platforms
Not exactly the most ambitious project, is it. Besides the fact that both ARD and ZDF majorly struggle with the content itself in terms of quality and availability (it's not an archive, everything disappears quickly). One day they'll figure out this internet neuland thing ;)
dopa42365··on Minuteman Weapon System History and Description (2001) [pdf]
How many decades of well known mutually assured destruction would you consider adequate to release this information?

Not exactly a new system, surely has been inspected many times by all major nuclear powers over the years.

dopa42365··on Apple's iMessage avoids EU's Digital Markets Act regulation
How much does the cheapest mobile plan that offers "free and unlimited" texting cost in the US? Quick look at t-mobile shows $15/month for unlimited texts.

So much for "free" :)

dopa42365··on Hisense A9 Pro E-Ink Android Smartphone
With user permission (allow installation from unknown sources or something), that must've been possible for a decade or so already.

Is this change just whitelisting a bunch of widely used app stores by default (especially in China)?

dopa42365··on Mistral CEO confirms 'leak' of new open source AI model nearing GPT4 performance
Is this an advertisement for a "promise"? Entirely worthless until there's something to show. It smells.
dopa42365··on Can a pill prevent deaths from venomous snakebites?
>to make that possible we are studying ways to reduce manufacturing costs

Varespladib has a very simple molecule, doesn't it? Kinda resembles indolecarboxamides like AB-BICA or something like that (the kind of things you can buy for $2000/kg).

dopa42365··on Amazon receives FDA warning letter for supplements with undeclared ingredients
Any even remotely WADA compliant drug testing uses chromatography, this story is most likely false.
dopa42365··on Study: TikTok Global Platform Anomalies Align with CCP Geostrategic Objectives [pdf]
It's almost as if tiktok isn't a news site (at least not primarily).
dopa42365··on Mozilla expands extension support for Firefox for Android
Firefox android extension support went from "all" to like "5 chosen ones, but we'll enable all of them very soon" in mid 2019. How and why those were handpicked, who knows, clearly extensions weren't enabled by supported functions at the time. In the usual mozilla fashion that "very soon" turned out to be multiple years.
