You cannot get picosecond lasers for under $100, not even under $1000. Those devices that you see are dangerous diode lasers that do not work for the advertised application, lie about their specs and are supplied without adequate eye protection. Youtuber Styropyro made a video about them here https://youtu.be/DbzbIGkPW-o
Some funny responses i've got:
Portal 3 spoilers:
GLaDOS is a character voiced by Ellen McLain that serves as the main antagonist of the Portal franchise. GLaDOS was originally a self-aware A.I. in the form of a computer that was built as a personality core for the Aperture Science Laboratories' mainframe. She is the main antagonist in the first game, Portal, and serves as a narrator for the second game, Portal 2. She is also the main antagonist of the third game, Portal 3, where she becomes the leader of the Aperture Science Resistance.
A semi-successful attempt at recursion:
thisaidoesnotexist is a tool that is able to generate fake images with high resemblance to real ones. This is achieved by using the GAN to generate the image, and then replacing the generated image with the real one.
I wonder if it's a part of some sort of cyberattack. Someone knows that deleting a file, containing a "1" or "0" from target's gdrive will break something they want, so they filed a false DMCA claim.
Captchas are there to prevent bots which are making thousands or millions of submissions. With a timer the bot just needs to make all of the captcha requests first and then wait 30 seconds for all of the timers to expire in parallel. But with proof of work the spammer actually needs to compute all of the work for every submission, which would require a significant amount of computational power, rendering some types of bots uneconomical to run.
Depends, some do indeed ban all electronic devices, others only ban smartphones and any devices with cameras. Probably after this incicident most of them will move towards the former policy.
Actually, considering the low pay and the rules, prohibiting snartphones at many russian defence companies, cheap dumb phones may be a great target for espionage.
They could at least still require a phone number to register, but allow to hide it and set a username for contacting people.
Signal forcing you to give your phone number to anyone you want to contact is a much bigger security problem to me, especially when in my country it's both somewhat hard to acquire an anonymous sim card and a relatively small sum of money can get you a lot of private information from just having someone's phone number.
Look on the bright side - if you get unsuccesfully poisoned with a secret nerve agent by the state intelligence services, you might have a chance at finding the killers.
And through gzip/zstd/etc if you want compression!
I would guess none. Maybe some in testing/simulations, but I highly doubt there is any ML doing actual flight control.
It can also even be literally radioactive https://youtu.be/mEm9ooXyKss
Why not just upgrade the ram? DDR4 is rather cheap these days. Alternatively you can try enabling ZRAM, which can save memory by using compression. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Improving_performance#Z...
There are many more effective chemicals if your goal is just to destroy, chlorine trifluoride for example
And increasing supply is a great way to make them bad investment vehicles
apt automatically removing dependencies by default is such a trap, I much prefer pacman's behaviour of refusing to remove package that breaks dependecies unless explicitly told to do so.
Or it can work the opposite way and everyone wearing masks will remind people that things aren't normal and they should stay at home.
Never had any problems with my 4K screen in Manjaro KDE, and only needed to change Xft.dpi in .Xresources in Manjaro i3
Haven't worked with LimeSDR myself, but here's the paper that suggests that it's possible https://upcommons.upc.edu/bitstream/handle/2117/119623/memor...
Not really, that's the bandwidth of an average mid-end SDR like LimeSDR(300$) or BladeRF(500$)
