Slightly Offtopic but the voice in the embedded youtube Video is so sounds so unnatural and creepy. I guess its AI generated and no one bothered to check the end result.

300ms seems like a lot. Even if this includes the whole http request+response it still seems unbelievably long.

Re:Seeing Around Corners Using Smartphone-Grade Lidar on Thursday May 28, 2026 @07:09AM (#48307317)
Why not just place a mirror at 45 degrees in the corner? That way you don't need the lidar but you can just look around the corner? It would also work better with the lidar.

I don't really understand, what the Graphs on page 9 and 13 represent, but they look somewhat like a world map with the continents. I wouldn't be surprised if there's actually a geographic connection. A lot of ingrediants are probably more prevalent in certain world regions.

I guess when the horse lays down the pumping force from the heart is enough to pump the blood back. Much less gravity to work against

I think they have a point. But the "QED" at the end leaves a cringe aftertaste
Re:Your hex editor should color-code bytes on Thursday April 23, 2026 @06:57AM (#47874228)
For anyone who regularly has to look at/analyze binary files, i highly recommend ImHex [1].

Its a hex editor built with imgui and has a lot of built in tools. Imo the best feature is the data structure editor. You can write a data type definition similar to C and it overlays it on the hexdump and parses it in a structured way while you type.

It also has a node based editor.

I use syncthing to sync my notes between my PC and Laptop. It works pretty well.

its funny bacause by (most) definitions, it is not an artifact:

With Firefox on Android it simply says

Deceptive site issue

What's going on? I can't find any setting to disable this.

Re:A Better Zip Bomb on Friday December 19, 2025 @05:37PM (#46331784)
Is it possible to implement something similar but with a protocol that supports compression? Can we have a zip bomb but with a compressed http response that gets decompressed on the client? There are many protocols that support compression in some way.
