Ubuntu switched to the Paragon NTFS driver by default. When I upgraded to kernel 6.5 (I think) from Ubuntu, I started getting frequent kernel panics, like every day. Soon, I noticed that I couldn't even compile a Rust…
In addition to the sibling comment, even Minecraft server has an "online-mode" setting, and if it's set to false, it doesn't authenticate players. Whenever my family has played on LAN, we've never used any auth servers…
No, according to everything I've read before, the parent post was correct and you're not. This article clearly says "art generated by artificial intelligence without human input cannot be copyrighted under U.S. law":…

No, ICE did not kill those people. I looked through the latest six this year. Two were suicides (one suicide was of a man who had state charges against him for several crimes including child molestation), one was…
But sunscreen doesn't stop all damage to skin. I spent weekdays working inside on a computer, then sometimes spent summer weekends outside in the sun. I get sunburned easily, sometimes in like 10 minutes of direct sun.…

"it certainly will eventually" - I think even that is underselling how unlikely it is for Git 256-bit hashes to collide. I calculated (taking into account the birthday paradox), that even if 8 billion people on Earth…
The court decided the opposite--that APIs are copyrightable. However, the Supreme Court ruled that Google's usage was fair use, so I would agree that Google mostly won. The Supreme Court didn't consider whether APIs are…
I hadn't heard that term before. I'll search for it. Thanks!
All right, I'll search for those and read about them. It's unfortunate when a project I've worked on for a while is never used, but at least nice when I learned something from writing it. Thanks!
I'm interested in using LDPC (or Turbo Codes) in software for error correction, but most of the resources I've found only cover soft-decision LDPC. When I've found LDPC papers, it's hard for me to know how efficient the…
I don't think the numbers are accurate in the quantity of gas. Since kWh and BTU are both units of energy, finding the cf of gas is unnecessary (assuming the efficiency numbers are correct). 1 kWh = 3.6 megajoules and 1…
