eh I worked around this and other operational technology and industrial control system security testing previously - lots of it isn’t built with security in mind

test wise you’d be amazed at what old controllers end up at surplus places or on eBay.

This soft touch plastic is a plague of early 2000s cars too

I think it’s the other way around.

It’s naive to assume miners will not sufficiently coordinate to stop Bitcoin becoming worthless. They are all economically incentivised to keep the network continuing to function.

Using stats this is called stylometry and I agree this will probably be easier at scale now. You can also match posting windows, pull additional features from database dumps/hacks.

Fun post applying it to HN, not sure if the site is still live: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755016

Innate knowledge to Brits, similar to knowing a swan might break your arm

UK IHT threshold relatively recently, would increase each year, until 2009 and it’s been static since, if accounting for inflation it should now be £500k instead of £325k

I’ve seemingly developed another sense for AI written content

As in.. his actual Uber driver? He just handed his laptop over?

Dairy intolerance?

Had 3 Ubers in a row spoofing gps location trying to pickup a ride at Istanbul departures, but then sending increasingly cryptic, once you are here walk 500m here directions one by one.

1 even started the trip without me in the car and said it was an accident.

Uber support didn’t care about that or the GPS spoofing.

Really this. It’s been great for me to dive into an unknown area with a new library from scratch.

Explanations of code work relatively well for smaller chunks of code.

When files get larger, I get more of a miss rate/bad suggestions unless I start tightening the scope.

That’s strong commitment to sticking with the original tech stack if it’s not just reskinned the error pages

To add another specific question: how is the battery life?

I realised the gamification had missed its purpose when I caught myself memorising the bigrams and trigrams of answers without reading the full text so I could click through and retain my streak each day. My learning had stalled at this point but my streak looked great.

Luckily it’s illegal for bad guys to buy multiple plane tickets or this wouldn’t work

They have so many issues with theft in the UK, which in turn pushes up insurance rates/reduces the pool of insurers that Jaguar Landrover have started offering an insurance product https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/jlr-takes-action-to-stem-ra...

There truly is a website for everything:

I’ll be sure to give it a wide berth in 2081

Thanks, it does look a great part of the world to live in.

I’ve taken liquefaction maps into account previously when finding places to live, but not had to look up magma chamber reports yet.

Yellowstone supervolcano eruption https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/yellowstone-vol...

pros:

- band aid on global temperatures

- interested in any others commenters may know of

cons:

- several states getting reset

- volcanic ash covering the North American bread basket

- pretty long list really

I think that might have been Yo, which I actually enjoyed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_(app)

super dystopian channels got setup on there like get a yo everytime a missle alert came in Israel

From the linked article and paper author that’s being referenced:

They describe male DNA found in the brains of women in their study as “most likely” from prior pregnancy with a male fetus and do not conclude or mention that women store DNA from males acquired through intercourse. “In our study as well as others done prior, we merely speculate the establishment of microchimerism through intercourse,” Chan told Reuters. “That is, the possibility exists but it has not been tested (or proven, as the lay person may say).

What’s the reasoning for making it illegal to test for BSE?

Last night a waymo dropped me off near the giants game. Presumably somewhere you aren’t meant to stop as I heard a security guard on loudspeaker asking “the car with the display on top” to move along as I was walking away, but the car wouldn’t move as there was still relatively fast traffic moving past it.

I’ve had to walk a few times near steep hills, I was wondering if partly it was due to the angle of approach and the sensor view being blocked so they avoid the area?
