Nowadays my main account, but other @Deebsters are available.
I was watching a video the other day that was showing WiFi sensing using TOMMY which uses channel state information (CSI) - something this article describes as the previous approach. That was already quite impressive, although not nearly as powerful as this teaser hints at.
We’ll have to wait for the hang on, the Taipei conference was last year so this is old news. Here’s the paper: https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.edu/1000185756
Scotland Yard are saying that unless they’re allowed to spend £50m on Palantir, they’ll have to reduce officer numbers? I can’t see their logic.
This Chaotic Eclipse/Nightmare Eclipse is the same one whose opening post read:
I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new github account to drop code…
But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.
I’m guessing there’s plenty more to come.
Kinda funny that they’re targeting Microsoft and yet using GitHub to share the PoCs.
My first thought was that Benn Jordan did a great bit of video journalism on this, but it’s already linked from the article, although without any other mention of it.
Isn’t picts-rs just something that runs on one server and just handles converting and resizing images? The new remote media storage stuff could run that, but the point is to allow more centralised servers so not every instance needs to individually store, process and transmit media.
Not just media, things like searching the Fediverse can be handled by a dedicated server, shared (or not) by multiple servers. Also spam detection, link preview generation, etc.
We will implement a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) that will allow sharing storage and media processing between servers.
This is pretty big too, as the cost and legal risks of hosting this user content is high. They’ve clearly thought about the media moderation problems too:
We will build a reference implementation of a Automated Content Detection service, again as a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider with an open protocol.
This will allow server owners to opt-in to use external tools to scan content for spam, illegal materials, etc in order to help them fight bad actors; they could self-host these tools if they choose to do so, or share the infrastructure with other servers for better efficiency.
I’m still deciding how much I agree or disagree with this. It’s true that they do cite books which you often can’t read online, but adding information backed up by a paywalled proof feels a bit “trust me bro”. E.g. I could find/create a site with an impossibly large paywall and no-one would realistically able to check my sources.
You’re absolutely right, I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for the catch.
Disgraceful, old-fashioned actions from the unnamed diving certifiers insurer - and, as the major diving insurance company (based in Malta) is DAN World Insurance Group SP, it’s clear that DAN puts their reputation above child safety.
(edited out misdirected finger pointing)
I would add that I’m not sure 30 days is “generous” given that 90 days is somewhat standard, but given that it took only two days for a lawyer’s threats to arrive that’s not too relevant.
Yeah, it’s really pleasing
I also sometimes use the Kagi summaries and it’s definitely been wrong before. One time I asked what the term was for something in badminton and it came up with a different badminton term. When I looked at the cited source, it was a multiple choice quiz with the wrong term being the first answer.
It’s reliable that I still use it, although more often to quickly identify which search results are worth reading.
Also from the article:
If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.
Have you seen the footage of scientists feeding them from their own arms? Nooope, not for all the tea in China.
I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.
Hmm, I do remember installing that at one point - it might be that I needed to extract a key from it to configure the plugin. I was on Windows then so it wouldn’t have been too hard.
The fact that they fixed the jailbreak just as I was about to do it was part of the reason I moved to Kobo (went with the Clara BW and am very happy with the upgrade).
I have the DeDRM plugin set up on Calibre and it’s either it’s working perfectly or everything I’ve bought from Kobo didn’t come with DRM (I think it’s the first one).

Ah, you mean just now. It’s not night everywhere!
Are you referring to the photo of a baby eating meat from a bone?
