Just press and hold the space button is not that difficult?

nattmat··on Bot or Human? Detecting ChatGPT Imposters with a Single Question
You could just ask about recent events, and since the answers are not in the dataset the bot could only hallucinate an answer to your question.
nattmat··on San Francisco decriminalizes psychedelics
In my experience, double the dose lasts the same amount of time, but the peak is more intense. It seems the brain just gets used to the sensation after a while.
nattmat··on Why shaving dulls even the sharpest of razors
Where I’m from Gillette is the popular brand, and they are $5 to $7 each.
nattmat··on Norwegian Air to cancel 85% of flights and temporarily lay off 90% of staff
20 days of full pay during the temporary lay-off. Then unemployment benefits for up to two years with 62% of full salary (cut off at about 30000 NOK per month)

nattmat··on Using Python and OCaml in the same Jupyter notebook
There is also a notebook project from Netflix called Polynote that support Scala and Python interop. I think they opted for not making a Jupiter kernel because of the need for fast code completion.

nattmat··on Why I Switched from Python to Clojure (2016)
Not my intention. But yours was a bold claim, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

I do not agree with you. Scala is a mostly functional language, and Kotlin is mostly imperative. How is that fixing Scala? They are two different languages, and Kotlin being newer, is inspired by, among others, Scala.

What Scala problems does Kotlin attempt to fix?
nattmat··on Implicit model of other people’s visual attention as an invisible beam
You can see in your peripheral vision, but not clearly, and not colors. This is because the cones in the eye are all in the center, and they are responsible for most of your daytime vision. Around the cones are rods, they are used for night vision and motion detection. The colors you see in your peripheral vision are not real, but an illusion made by the brain.

This Ted gives some good examples https://www.ted.com/talks/anil_seth_how_your_brain_hallucina...

nattmat··on Implicit model of other people’s visual attention as an invisible beam
The brain fills in what it expects in your peripheral vision. For example, you can see colors in your peripheral vision, but it is only an illusion made in the brain.

nattmat··on How Merkle Trees Enable the Decentralized Web
By using an append-only Merkle tree, you make 'edits' by adding a new piece of data with information on what was changed in the older data. You get the benefit of also keeping a version history. I think Git works like this.
nattmat··on Norway, where no salaries are secret
It is not about how much you are earning, but how much taxes you are paying.
nattmat··on No encryption was harmed in the making of this intercept
And when it is publicly known that the Apple, Samsung and Google compromises their operating systems, the adept criminals will flash their own operating system onto their phones.

Apple and Samsung need to provide a worldwide infrastructure for handling requests from law enforcement all around the world (also in the less liberal regimes). How secure can this process really be by now. It doesn't matter that the coppers cannot reuse the exploits, they will just request and receive a new one instantly.

Now criminals also have access to these services, since we now police corruption is a thing.

nattmat··on Magic-Wormhole – Get things from one computer to another, safely
I see you guys arguing what is easier, wormhole, syncthing, ssh. I'll argue that Keybase is by far the easiest. Just but the files in /Keybase/private/person0,person2
nattmat··on Why Germany Educates International Students for Free
None of the comp. sci. courses I have been to at least. Norwegian lecturers will usually ask if anyone does not speak Norwegian. This is at masters level at UiO; I am not sure about bachelor courses.
nattmat··on Raspberry Pi Zero W, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, priced at $10
More like 4 GBP. I paid 26 GBP for Zero W, Essentials kit, original case and international shipping to Norway from GB (ThePiHut).
nattmat··on AMD Ryzen Full Lineup Prices, Specs and Clock Speeds Leaked
Zen should feature instructions for full memory encryption using a ARM co-prosessor. I find that pretty interesting, considering the limitations of Intel SGX.
nattmat··on My Watch Runs GNU/Linux
Linux is the operating system, the distribution is only a collection of apps running on top of the operating system. Ubuntu does not handle stuff like memory allocation or scheduling.
nattmat··on My Watch Runs GNU/Linux
