I had a Pentium IV that operated at 700C.

These projects are all run out of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Remember, they run the F-14 and F-18 program currently and just had a $250M stealth drone shot down over the Eastern Med.

Blue Book was the Air Force poking their node where it didn't belong.

Forming Space Force was an attempt to reconcile this spat.

But a lot of the research happens e.g. off the coast of Puerto Rico. That's where the biggest acknowledged Naval research station is located.

It's why they won't let Puerto Ricans become independent, but for goodness sake, repeal the Jones Act permanently to stop the economic suffering of these people. They're legally Americans and the DC regime has them under embargo and sanctions. It's infuriating.

Everybody who says this has never tried filming an aircraft at night with a cell phone. Try it!

NASA has some beautiful 40-inch lenses for filming rocket launches and aerospace tests.

And even those don't resolve much at night too far out. IIRC they weigh about 200 lbs (10 stone for the Europeans). So why doesn't NASA just use an iPhone?

And chemical rockets aren't even accused of using a plasma-envelope gravity drive like some experimental military craft. Even the B2 uses an electric field to minimize turbulent flow (Biefield-Brown -> BB -> B2) and that's 40 years old and public.

If any of these are correct a cell phone is the wrong tool for the job.

OK, but that's just the opposite of true. How did you form that conclusion?

The strongest cases are from Zimbabwe, Australia, and Brazil.

The strongest US cases are from Arizona and New Hampshire with very few witnesses and almost no physical evidence.

> that causes a 50% performance hit

That's approaching "breaking userspace".

I'll read more about this but unless ancient pgsql code was doing something stupid it sounds like a third option needs to be considered.

I know a private practice doc who uses one after having some obviously bogus allegations made against him by a miscreant and her ambulance chaser.

The big hospital systems can afford to have a second person in the room.

I don't like anything about the current system but having a third party doing the recording removes allegations of editing by local recordings.

There are compromise cryptosystem that can handle both concerns ... gotta get one done soon if nobody else will do it (hashes of hashes of hashes).

It's reasonable to assume that if you erase an app on a mobile OS that the system will delete the app's data.

That ought to include any data stored in OS databases that is tagged with the app. It's not at all unreasonable to expect this. I suspect it's an oversight though Apple got weird after their standoff with the FBI over the "San Jose bomber". The GPU backdoor to read arbitrary system memory that Kaspersky found is an example.

Apple should make the change and really secure-erase the flash blocks that were being used. This can be done in the background and collected into the free block map later.

The best some people can do is trust their vendor but having a secret-source platform to trust makes it harder.

And, yes, it would not be surprising to learn Qualcomm and Samsung have similar 'features'.

I just checked my Android.

I have it set to not show sensitive info when locked.

But Signal now also has an option to show nothing, name, or name and content in a notification.

It appears to have defaulted to the least secure option.

There's that inherent tension between convenience and security and the Tyranny of the Default.

It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

> when your investigative toolkit is journalism

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Just watch the patches and CVE's trickling out.

It's not like OpenBSD is going to sit on a vulnerability for 90 days or whatever.

Issuing a patch doesn't give away the details about how it was found.

To be fair I just wasted a week tracking down a radio telemetry problem because of a forum post that many people said worked great but it definitely pulled a pin high that was supposed to be low, which shut off an antenna.

Only diving into the spec sheet and some sample embedded code convinced me that the forum post was exactly wrong and after making a simple change to do the opposite did all the telemetry devices mesh up and start reporting correctly.

So ... how does 90% compare to human content?

A wrinkle is that everybody knows humans are flawed and too many people treaty the LLM as omniscient.
