The reason people like Kagi is that it doesn't show these (anywhere near as much), the top result has the answer

probably the easiest way would be to buy an amazon gift card in cash and deliver it to a locker/shop for pickup, although you'd likely still need to link it to a phone number

scale is important here - maybe a better analogy is setting up a paid Spotify clone with all the music sourced from torrents with some slight distortion effect added

They're very expensive, but I've heard good things about Dasung's e-ink monitors for this purpose

I used a copy of (desktop) Vector Magic several years ago - it's almost certainly not worth the purchase price today (and better software may already exist), but it did very reliably get me a reasonably close SVG from an original image

My understanding was that GPT4 evaluation appeared to specifically favour text that GPT4 would generate itself (leading to some bias towards gpt-based fine-tunes), although I can't remember the details

About a year ago I made a little wear os app to track the upcoming departures at the station near me - it was suprisingly useful (especially at big stations - sometimes you can make incredibly quick connections!), so I decided to genericise it to the point it'd work for other people (in the uk) as well! So far people seem to really appreciate it [0], which I'm glad about

Alternatively, for something slightly less polished, I made an app that connects to the spotify API, fetches synced lyrics for the track currently playing, and displays them on an electromechanical (flip-dot) bus sign from the 80s that's sat in my kitchen!

To my understanding, there are ways of wiring a USB-C cable such that only four contacts are active, and behave as a USB 2 cable? (although you can only do USB 2 charging over it, so no PD)

I'm not quite sure what you mean here - English Wikipedia is ~60GB, and there are definitely models trained on Wikipedia that are less than 60GB (eg: Llama 7B), but that's a lossy store of information - you won't get perfect recital of a Wikipedia page from an LLM

If you also explicitly mentioned the salt used (as bear appear to have done?), this just becomes a matter of testing 4 billion options and seeing which matches

> The IANA is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country. The selection of the ISO 3166 list as a basis for country code top-level domain names was made with the knowledge that ISO has a procedure for determining which entities should be and should not be on that list.

Jon Postel, RFC 1591 (Domain Name System Structure and Delegation)

are you sure? Wikipedia describes both as being country code tlds, and both have an official ISO 3166-1 code that matches their domain.

If the "correct" date encoding is 2018-03-14, is 14-03-2018 not one inversion instead of three?

the distribution method for this particular attack was a Google search ad

Likely by means of reverse-engineered APIs from smart TVs (or similar) with limited capability to provide integrity, although I'm sure there are steps Google can take to make that harder

I wonder if there are attacks based on RF emissions along a cable to get the sound

As far as I can tell it's still free for relatively low request rates, but you need to register an account/get an app id from them (I've been doing some testing with it recently as part of an app)

to summarise this - in practice, a person earning £50,270 under 1257L is paying 24% of their income as tax. Ever £1 they earn above this value is taxed at 40% up to £125k (although there are also some losses of benefits at £100k)

Can you provide an example of this for an employee of a company? I can't figure out a way of making that the case - even inside the "60%" (in relative terms) band - at £125k your actual tax burden is 36% (44% incl. employer contributions)

Perhaps on desktop, but (for example) an iPhone user on Instagram has no easy way to avoid being advertised to

Google might cache further up the chain, which could help

Historically there have been restrictions on key size (and bad algorithms) - to my knowledge, neither is currently the case: there is no known way to break a 2048-bit RSA key (although if there was, we probably wouldn't know about it)

I'm assuming by honest they mean it explicitly states "Image Enforcement Bot" or similar - so it can be filtered out with very minimal risk to real users

I'm speaking in very abstract terms as a non-expert, but the critical distinction in this case is that prime factorisation (the basic underpinnings of RSA / similar encryption) is known to be an NP problem (more precisely - sub-exponential) for a classical computer but is polynomial for a quantum computer

To achieve the same computing power on a classical computer, it would need to be exponentially more powerful - this is because (abstracting heavily) the quantum computer can test all possible inputs to a function at once, where a classical computer must test them one at a time

petrol is roughly 9.5kW/litre (~35kWh/US gallon) if that's a better reference for consumption (of which maybe 30% will make it to energy through a modern engine?)

Up until this point I'd imagine there was no significant advantage to creating propane vehicles unless they could be made significantly more efficient than petrol or diesel (which I'm guessing is not known to be the case)

by comparison, this discovery could make it a green-vs-brown fuel debate, at which point it would be much more valuable to invest in for vehicles

The exact phrase they previously used on the homepage was "Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021" - so maybe as a finetune?

For people for which the SaaSiness of Tailscale would be the main deciding factor, it is important to note that this article completely fails to mention Headscale, a BSD-licenced tailscale-compatible coordination server under active development

This could be a case of survivorship bias - we don't know how many spectre-like bugs did get patched, because they never made it to the public

Incidentally, Kagi has a URL rewrite feature that integrates this natively!
